Can't see him wanting to stay unless we come with a better song than the recycled "one of our own" song. He deserves better.

Sat on a beach in the Algarve (it's 35 degrees in the hot sun here), but anyway...... I have already had 2 people having seen my Saints shirt say what a great player he is and how lucky we are. The Portuguese seem to think we have a real star in the making.

Has anyone actually received their Chinese kit yet? I know they take a while when first released.

Zig zags like the lighthouse on the Southampton site

Double Penitration

I can't help but think that Lallana signed his last contract with us (and many of us were surprised when he did) with some assurances from Les Reed that Reed then went back on, such as being allowed to move if a big club came in. Adam did say it got heated but also said he never refused to play and regretted how it happened. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/31524487 I wouldn't want to see him back on a Walcott deal, but at the right price.......

But if you look back on money in v money out since they took over they are £15 Million in profit https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-southampton/transfers/verein/180

Most would have been happy with Hoddle back at one point!

Just not premier league standard. From 26 shots, only 10 are on target with 3 goals. 7 "Big chances missed" is more than anyone in the premier league. While I'm not saying Ralph has been great, this has to be a big contribution to our current predicament! Even Perraud and S Armstrong have more goals per minute played!

Aren't these just DH Gate shirts?

Will ee still sing "Come on you reds"? Looking at the match tonight we're very much more black and white than red and white.

Will there be a 3rd kit this season? Pinning my hopes on that for liking something

My sources tell me the kit will be released sometime after today!

I'm guessing: Forster, Romeu, Redmond, Long, Djenepo, Broja, Valery, JWP (Sell big to bring players in), Theo

I really liked Ralph when he first came here. Was a real breath of fresh air on how he would work the players. Then with the run after Christmas I thought we'd turned the corner. What I thought would What actually happened Happen ✅ Villa ❌ Villa ✅ Newcastle ❌ Newcastle ✅ Watford ❌ Watford ❌ Man City (cup) ❌ Man City (cup) ✅ Leeds 🤝 Leeds 🤝 Chelsea ❌ Chelsea 🤝Arsenal ✅ Arsenal ✅ Burnley ❌ Burnley 🤝 Brighton 🤝 Brighton ✅ Palace ❌ Palace ✅ Brentford ❌ Brentford ❌ Liverpool ❌ Liverpool Wins: 7 Wins: 1 Draws: 3 Draws: 2 Loses: 2 - 24pts Loses: 9 - 5 pts I hate to say it but the whole thing has gotten lazy since he said he may retire at the end of his contract. They players aren't fighting for him anymore, and most of them aren't good enough. Time to go. Thanks for the good times Ralph!

The advert for Fans wanting to be in the launch wanted people that were doing something "Brave"

I guess there's 2 ways of looking at it. We have 2 years of stability with a good manager and a chance to find and integrate the successor. Players tend to stop trying when they know a manager is going....

Liverpool and Man Utd with a bit of Spurs for thinking they're bigger than they are. Newcastle Arabia's recent form puts them with Spurs. I would love it if they get relegated, just love it! And if they escape by 6 points it would be tough on the team that takes their place!

While I couldn't make the Spurs game, I really thought the crowd had an impact on Tuesday. It seems so many other teams have fans on the referees back from the start, yet at SMS we usually just sit there quietly and make it easy for refs to give decisions against us. Yet I felt that the crowd on his back swayed decisions in our favour on Tuesday. Unfortunately I don't think it'll last...

He only has 1 year left at the end of this season. If he makes an impression this year and doesn't sign a new one we'll be putting him in the shop window to sell for bugger all

So do you think it was a mistake for Ralph to pick Mccarthy instead of Armstrong? Ralph out!! 😉

Can't see us being taken over until we get relegated and go into Admin unfortunately. Our sell price is too high for the money required to make us successful.
