It isn't the first time we've had a break from playing matches and disappointed though.

What's the average attendance at The Emirates?

The why did we release or sell them cheap.? Shocking long term planning by someone that is difficult to forgive.

Well said Steve Davis. You leave Saints having been an inspiring captain, a driving force in midfield, and loyal player. You've done Saints proud.

I agree with you based on what I saw on MOTD (not being able to get to Southampton). It hasn't been usual for that programme to highlight attacking fluency from Saints over the last year, and it hasn't been usual for those commentators to praise current improvements in Saints play over the last twelve months. It was a tragedy to lose this six pointer, but the season is not over yet. We have injured players that will return to the team, and our rivals all have tough matches ahead too. Hoj has the right attitude and so has Ralph. We must also.

Despite the Sala effect and the positivity that Warnock gives Cardiff, I just can't see Cardiff doing the double on us.

Because some of our 'fans' have a bad dose of the English disease called negativity, Symptoms are short term vision.

..yes, but uncle did see Redmond and Austin as the obvious (meaning cheap at the time) replacements for Mane .

If they can't buy Gallagher on part exchange of FFP rules. could they take Gallagher on loan?

The young talented striker Hudson Odoi wants to leave Chelsea because he's not getting match time. Go get him Ralph!

Thanks all, Got it.

This is such a confusing thread to read. I want to shout when! Why can't all responses be dated, mods? Surely it can't be that difficult.

This game will be a test of how far we have come since Ralph took over. After their display against 'pool we will do well to achieve a draw. But a win is achievable. COYR!!

I agree.

Well said. You are not the only one.

It's a personality and talented leader that we need in the team. A player who has the respect and command that turns attacks into goals and inspires defenders into the solid fortress that VVD inspired. That's all. Perhaps Ralph can be persuaded to don his boots. (wistful tongue in cheek)

OTT We really do have to have proven quality players signed up before letting quality players leave. With four months fighting relegation ahead this is not the time to let our better defenders leave. That was how Reed ruined our squad. It would continue the trend of the last two years, with the result of having a less skilful squad.

Glad to know that the injured are coming back piece by piece.

If we hold out put Long on the TSW masthead. Because if we lose, the way it's going we could end up second from bottom.

However, Marcus did write off our debt to Barclays for the building of our stadium, didn't he?

Too easily, our bigoted fans will join whichever bandwagon is damning the scapegoat of the month. Mane, Tadic, just a few of the very talented players that have been rubbished by the easily led - who lament their passing when they've gone. Sad.

Well it is the panto season

85% on that pole have said he should stay at Saints

So he's a Sham supporter then. Odds on Ings being reduced to a limp.

Spurs and Liverhampton
