Although not strictly saints related, to me it gives me a warm feeling to think that we aren't in any debt and are owned by one company. Compared to others', our administration went quite smoothly indeed. WWIFM

read it and weep

Name your child Nigel Adkins? Camp in a tent outside SMS? Refuse to eat food that wasn't touched by Jose Fonte?

It's gonna be a long long summer...

Alas, the time has come again. I know last time we were in the membership we had 30k+ memberships. Surely a good money making scheme by the club and to distingush between those who go to 10 games and those who go to 1 or 2. Your thoughts?

Stupid thread

just voted mate

Now that Bialkowski has been released, and presumably Forecast would also have gone if he wasn't on such a long contract, who do you think that we will get in? Your thoughts?

Ranging from his Twitter posts to his footballing career, it will be a shame that Jaidi is leaving. It's not really a suprise to anyone but he has been a great defender and the only person in the saints squad who has ever featured in a world cup. He will be missed.

Just postpones the inevitable.

Our 'friends' down the road are expecting that nice Mr Chanrai to pitch in at any moment. He does not expect to get his money back if they are liquidated, so will step in so that he gets the parachute payments, while increasing the overall debt. Once the parachute payments stop he will then walk away again, and it really will be the end. My view is that it would be better if they started completely again now, and got the crooks out of the club. We might have a bit more respect for them if they did that and it was run as a proper club, and worked their way back up through the divisions.

Right, either I don't go on here enough or I don't remember them. Anyhow, I feel a list of all the acronyms used on Saints Web would be much appretiated for the off and on user. E.g. WIFM...

Just read the last page of posts. I have no idea what this thread is about.

Couple more memories - One of Le Tiss's brothers hit the crossbar from way out, it was shaking for ages. He looked as if he could have been quite useful in his younger days - 32,000 people going quiet watching the goal montage on the big screen. I think that is when it hit us that it really was the end

Writes in the Guardian each Saturday. A bit unusual as he is a footballer who can actually write well, and it is not ghost written like most columns. I had heard that it was Danny Murphy. Whoever it is he has a good media a career ahead of him and we might get rid of Lawrensen and Hansen. Any ideas?

quite why someone has a go at the smallest possible factor is beyond me

Obviously it is fantastic to be back in the Prem, but what will you miss about the Championship and League 1? - Saints winning most weeks - Genuine supporters of other teams - Being first on Football League show Your thoughts?

It's stuff like this that make me think that Southampton Football Club is the best in the world. May be a bit biased though. Anyway, get well soon Ben. Top Stuff

The way that Saints now buy players is as follows: - We speculate and are way off the mark - Saints announce a new player - We go 'never thought of him' or 'who is he?' - Several months later 'he was a good buy' eg Jos I expect to be surprised over the summer. The only thing that we normally get right is the areas that need strengthening. So my guesses are: - Up and coming goalkeeper to replace Bart - Cover at centre back - Holding midfield player - Someone quick up front I also think that NA is going to be careful not to upset the team ethic - so no Tevez

Was he?

not exactly like we've got much else to talk about tbh

this is what i did. so easy to do and takes 10 mins to download if you're internet speed is good

Fantastic performance. Boro were a decent team and by the time we had finished they were chasing shadows and just didn't know what had hit them.

Not sure about the £20mil bit, but completely agree with the rest. We need to replace Bart and have an up and coming keeper who can challenge for a place and eventually succeed him. If Kelvin got injured early next season then we would be in big trouble
