Tommy Mulgrew

In my wallet, a no.8 was an inside right and a no.10 an inside left. So your “vice versa” is right. Happy to help.

He is still in Sheffield, playing for Wednesday tonight. I’d have thought we’d have him back in Southampton by now but apparently not. Let’s hope he gets here soon so that Ivan can run the ruler over him in the next week or so and advise SR what to do about him.

I wonder whether MLG is Tyler’s dad. Please, you guys, cut MLG some slack: he cannot help but do what he does; show some tolerance of his foibles - we have all got some idiosyncrasies. ❤️

MUSGA Make us Saints great again 😡🤬😇👍

Noooo. I reckon it will be 6:3 to us.

Saints look to field an entire team of left backs before the season ends. https://www.givemesport.com/west-ham-and-southampton-eyeing-move-to-sign-20-yo-star/

The SFC website lists 34 first team players. Today, Ivan the Terrible said “… I have 17, 18 players, maybe more, who are competitive …”. So half the squad seem to be of interest to him. Just about sums it up really. 🤔 I wonder which players are in the list and which are not.

She seems to have returned to the matchday squad several weeks ago and has spent her time since then on the bench or not even selected. So perhaps this move has been a while in the offing. If not, I reckon she has done the right thing by going to MU and trying for game time there. The MU present no. 1 goalie is Phallon Tullis-Joyce; try saying that after several beers or ciders.

I prefer my Dawns to have real double Ds. 😜

Kayi Sanda: If KS is anywhere near as good as Morgan Schneiderlin, who played for France for every age group between u16 and u21 inclusive as well as the full national team, I shall be well pleased with this new signing. Morgan came from Strasbourg, a step up from VAFC, for about £1million IIRC so I suppose £5m is OK, even if I suspect it might have been inflated for VAFC’s benefit (internal SR accounting and all that). As Chez says, we shall have to wait a couple of years to see some benefit from our outlay.

Or defensive midfielder, or attacking midfielder, or striker, or wingback, or goalkeeper, or subs. Or board of directors. Or all of the above. (And some of our fans, too.) But never in a million years any saintsweb members. 😇

Not once, not twice, not thrice but four fucking times. And SR are still here to potentially do it again in the summer. ”It’s hope that kills you” but I’m dead already.

If Juric has us as really average for the rest of the season, and if it is Premier League average, everyone on here will whoop with joy; (well everyone except maybe three or four). 😍 Dream on.

Do you mean us this time next year?

IMO Mateta was not careless or reckless and did not use excessive force but he did impede Ramsdale with contact; and Ramsdsle was not careless or reckless and neither used excessive force nor impeded Mateta with contact.

What a sad and sorry state the beautiful game has become. That and our recent and present plight is why football rarely gives me real pleasure any more. I have almost, but not quite, given up hope that Juric can rescue some hope and pride from this clusterfuck of a season. If only we could have appointed him instead of Jones after Ralph was sacked we might have been spared the nightmare of the last two years. I’d gladly have given up the joy of the playoffs for that.

Interesting thoughts on how Ivan might improve us defensively - see first link. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/team-analysis/ivan-juric-southampton-202425-tactical-analysis-tactics I think I have already put the second one on here somewhere; whatever, here it is again. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/head-coach-analysis-ivan-juric-201920-tactical-analysis-tactics Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all.

A mixture of blind arrogance and fatal defeatism - a bit like on here. I especially liked the post that said Ings would score all goals in a 3:1 win. They have no more idea than we have. Let’s hope the spirit of Atlanta inspires us to running the irons ragged. 2:1 to Saints!!!! 😇😇⚽️⚽️ : ⚒️⚽️ Saints 📈 : West Ham 📉

WestHamzone incensed by Carragher’s prediction of a draw: https://www.westhamzone.com/comment/jamie-carragher-has-lost-his-mind-with-southampton-v-west-ham-prediction/ And some on here think we are an entitled lot! An extra reason for a win on Thursday, convincingly or otherwise. The rest of the season starts here. COYS

If this report is true, we seem to be intent on getting as many players vying for each CB position as we have for LB. Abdul Mumin plays for a team that languishes at the bottom of La Liga; hence I, for one, believe we are scouting him seriously. 😉 https://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-include-clubs-defensive-pillar-in-their-priority-list-saints-must-offer-e6m-in-january/

I’m not so sure: you said “anus”, not “buttocks”. A not-so-subtle difference.
