I think this this is a pretty decent post.

Comment from my pal in Spain, who often has his finger on the pulse. LVG, he can't be correct, surely? February: Valverde offered to Saints. Saints say: we are not looking to change manager in june. May, Barcelona sign Valverde. June, Saints do not want to keep Puel. Saints go for Van Gaal. Uuummm where is the planning and strategy in the club nowadays? Sounds like improvisation? We fixed that a few years ago. Hopefully we are not falling asleep.

Rather silly, lets hope you haven't dropped that Physio in the sh1 te!

Saints = Stripes.

Whilst I do agree with you, I think the attraction for good players is to play at the top level (and for a lot more money). I would be pleased if he stays but I doubt he will.

I have no idea what this means, it must be too early for my brain

Perhaps he means Fitzhugh Fella on the bench?

Worth reading, imho.

Don't bother, you're missing f all.

Oh dear me! I forgot to add the link for viewing the photos doh https://flic.kr/s/aHskZKvSQ4

I'm selling many of my Saints Progs as I really don't want them to end up is a Skip when I'm gone! Sadly, nobody in the family wants them and I would hate them to be dumped. The group I'm involved with hold a BBQ every year and the proceeds go to charity. This year, the Wessex Heartbeat is the chosen charity. Any money raised will go to there. Need any info of the progs, please ask. Offers invited, please. email is norms.comps@gmail.com

I meant to add a CP's replacement, doh. Sorry, been a long day and the three glasses of Rioja haven't helped.

ERNESTO VALVERDE to Southampton FC. So I'm informed by my pal in Spain.

I despair, I really do.?

Not sure this is the place for the following, http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-chelsea-eye-ryan-bertrand-10348258

i doubt very much that CP will be moving on this Summer. Just my gut feeling. I don't have the contacts at the club I once had but the 'info' from my only pal inside is that there is still unrest over tactics. But then, I'm sure it must be difficult to keep ambitious players happy all the time.

My pal in Spain really rates Sandro.

Birmingham?

Fair result. Lost to one of the best teams in the Prem, by far. Just look at their team!

25 mins gone and i ask, can we hold out for another 65? City with over 70% possession.

I thought a point would be good, so getting three was great!

Nor me☹

Phew! More than happy to get a point. Really lucky to escape with a draw.
