Sad news . Pretty sure he and a few other guys from the Warren joined in on a night time game of footie on the pitch of the dell ,when we got in whilst waiting to buy Brighton tickets ,about 1977 I think ? Always seemed passionate about the saints .RIP

Coin thrown at Alderweireld at Sheffield Utd

Should have stood right at the front to the right of the goal to the right ,nothing going on,not a song to be heard ,why do people bother to go to a game and do nothing .From where we were our.support was pretty poor .I know the quality on offer was poor but there were 4000 of us ,we should have been louder than a few Owtsgmi and chanting yellows ? -
We are 3 rd in the league ,we need all sorts of options in the squad .We have a neck to moan about transfer costs when you consider what we raked in this summer from Liverpol etc . Shane Long is probably as mystified as anyone about us paying 12 m for him ,market forces at work ..but he seems an honest player and gets stuck in when given a chance . I am in the give him a chance corner . Support the team FFS and stop the negative Witch hunt for a scapegoat which seems to happen every year .

Golden wonder there jungle fresh, golden wonder there jungle fresh , PEANUTS ! Does anyone remember that also one that had the words with a hand grenade and a walking stick we are the Milton aggro . The muppets tune was also one that drove me mad !

I has home and away shirt bought for me as birthday presents .Both of them snagged first time I wore them ,just by having rough hands and once by touching Velcro on a jacket .This level of snagging has never happened so easily on any of my shirts in the past ,so in my opinion is due to lack of quality material .My mother in law is into sewing and weaving etc ,she manipulated the snags by pulling them,turning material inside out tugging snags out .It has worked but will be a right pain in the but to keep them looking half decent for the whole season .However,considering the state of the team at start of transfer window ,I am glad we have a team to support and to wear a shirt to see.COYR. : )

Phew , what a long night . Also not sure about Ramirez deal ,but very pleased with both new signings and that Boruc,schneidelin and Jay still with us ?COYR

Great idea . 4 of us take turns to buy a round ,means one of us missing at least 5 mins of a game . They have a card system at Bayern Munich ,which is topped up inside and outside of stadium ,so no cash used at kiosk or portable beer sellers ,that is really quick service . The system being proposed is an improvement from previous set up .

Moan moan F...ing moan it does your nut in . Welcome Shane . Hopefully he will get a good working relationship with Pelle and Jay rod later this year .

I took my 4 year old grandson to his first game yesterday ,plenty of why questions and difficult to keep him focused on the game ,but a lovely experience taking a new generation .I told him when I first took his mum to a game she thought super saint the dog played for us ! It was great to see so many little people at the game ,kitted out in sInts shirts etc . Well don the club for getting pricing right ,which was reflected in the good attendance .Looking forward to the season COYR

BBC Article - The inside story of the great Southampton sell-off

Yes,they stay with local families.I looked into this a couple of years ago as my youngest son and girlfriend were moving out .They were advertising for new families, regular payment for carers and two season tickets sounded like a good deal.My eldest son decided to move back home to save for a mortgage ,so we did not have an assessment meeting .What I do remember was that they were very strict about not having alcohol around the house . -
Sounds good to me ,we are all going to have learn to sing a bit deeper !

Too true it is only football ,spoilt immature young men and a whole group of people who live in a bubble .

Morgan' s tweet gives an insight the the **** the board have had to put up with our World Cup stars and others throwing their toys out the pram.,seeking to move . After the robust speech by Ralph I felt positive for a moment . Tough luck Morgan , knuckle down or play in the reserves .Spoilt footballers are so detached from the real world and the real pressures of living on a p* as poor pay ! Make him stay

Yep agree , grass roots football and lower league clubs are impoverished whilst some clubs are paying 100k - 200k a week .It is obscene ,makes you wonder how it will end .The influx of continental players in the premier league could be seen reflected in our countries abject perform and at the World Cup . I enjoyed last season but the big boys have just picked us off ,we were getting ahead of ourselves for a short while .It all seems a bit false ,looking back on the season ,our team captain and central defender ,thinking for about half the season playing for Liverpool. I just hope our manager stays and gives us something to enjoy this season COYR

I'm going ,don't like friendlies normally but taking along my 4 year old grandson ,another generation to be introduced to the excitement and craziness of being a saints fan . Football fame is only for a small clique of clubs ,the big clubs continue to get stronger .Howver ,I will continue to support my team through thick and thin COYR

Here here ,not many managers are given such an opportunity to build their own team .Yep it has been disappointing to see the team break up .We have got top price from top teams so not as though we are selling to Stoke ,West ham etc . Strange the more this goes on and the prices we are getting for our players makes me question if we under performed last season with such highly rated players .Only good think that Mopo,did last year was keep,as,out of the Europa cup ,otherwise we we be truly goosed at moment and more likely to be relegation fodder . I am just waiting for Ronald,s signings so that we have a clear idea of what to expect for the season ahead . COYR

Only statement I want to see is a good batch of siblings before the window closes.A statement of intent and some evidence that transfer kitty is being reinvested .This could be the start of a really exciting season .I will wait until then before wetting myself and organising a protest .

Well said . Spot on

There was a rumour a while ago about Japanese player Honda not doing well at Inter and could be part of swap deal for Osvaldo does anyone else remember this or am I starting to lose touch with reality ? numbness to fingers due to repetitive F5 ing spreading to my head .Come on sign someone !

Same here . Christ I have experienced periods of depression but some of the posters on here need some professional help .Thankfully my mood is good , if I relied on this forum for inspiration or for a positive role model ,I would be in trouble .In Cogniive behavioural therapy speak ,a lot of the comments on here would be deemed 'catastrophic thinking '. Come on guys lighten up ,fasten you seat belts and enjoy the ride ,yeee. Haaaaa .
