Interested to know what people's plans are getting to the ground from Linate airport, we are arriving at 9.55am and will be booking a hotel very near the airport for convenience for the next mornings flight, any ideas what the best way of transport and where will saints fans be drinking during the day. Is it best to go into Milan or straight to the ground (any bars in the area), thanks in advance.

To be fair, I had to double take when I looked again this morning and make sure I had booked on the right date ! this is what these bloody airlines do, takes the p***

just booked £200 for 3 of us from gatwick to Milan, easy jet, was in that window of opportunity yesterday and the price doubled. Well chuffed they have been reduced early this morning. Fill ya boots while you can !

Good article, nice to read from someone who has actually done there research and talks sense about the club.

It may be unnecessary but tough sh*t that's the way it is and that's what sounds like has happend, for what it's worth I don't agree with him airing his dirty laundry in public especially so close to the start of the season.

To be honest I don't blame Fonte, I bet he's fed up of seeing players/managers leave. He's been loyal, fans need to get over it.

Good words from Ryan, all the top lads are believing in what is happening behind the scenes. Big statement this, Tadic and Long next please. Feel good factor returning after some big losses.

Agreed. Time will tell what role he gets

Saints hold Dave Watson in a very high regard, even to the point where they are fast tracking him to be manager in years to come. Maybe he will be promoted to coach alongside Eric Black seeing as Sammy Lee has left and Kelvin taking over as goal keeping coach.

Interesting listening to Koeman on Sky Sports News, in short, he had meeting with club, Koeman's option was to see his contract out, Saints wanted him to sign new contract, Koeman said no, so saints said on ya way then..end of The question is to us fans is would we have taken another year of RK knowing he could possibly have left at the end of the season ?

e That boy could cross a ball, that day (pic) was a day to forget tho

I keep saying Gus Hiddink would be a fantastic manager for us, good tactician, good knowledge of the game and a good people person from what I've heard from mates who support Chelsea. But then again there's also LVG !

Hiddink for me, will get the best out of the players, has the respect and the pull to attract good players.

I read today that Koeman rejected the extension so he's been told he can leave as only the one year left, hence Everton pounced on the opportunity. Something happend within the last few days to make the board or Koeman make this decision. I'm sure it will come out sooner than later.

It's still Koemans decision tho, and I still don't get why ? ok, the money but we must be offering a bloody good wage, but surely he must take into account his brother, Sammy Lee, Dave Watson, and he must know he's onto a good thing here or is there another agenda ?

I'm thinking of getting a new st George flag for next seasons euro tour, any ideas on the wording ? "Sfc Forever in transition"

I agree with the above, listening to RK, he likes a passer alongside the holding midfielder, I think JWP will get the nod to play alongside wanyama. 3 points is a must tho.

Like, simple and to the point

Paul Wooton gets sent off after a barny with the skate manager who also got sent off.. Just remember tho, they've got the best fans in the league S****s

We cant compete with Depays wages, This is a no goer.

Hiddink for me, i think he would be a really good addition, Has done a good job at Chelsea since he took over.

If only Steve Williams was fit that day. He was our match winner, pulled the strings. Still played but clearly injured. He was class back then.

I was stood to the left of the clock stand that day with the Everton fans above us, it still sticks in the back of my throat when this game is talked about. I kin hate those scouse t wats.

It's relevant because the original post I replied to was about how direct we've been this season. Coastal Saint "I think our style of football has been very poor this season. We are much more direct than we have been for years"

Did you go to the last home game ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcO9-V8SNyQ
