fanimal Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 As long as they don't do it for the last home game!!!!!!! Please, dear god…What happened to the simple trend of honouring the seasons best player/character like when we wore a fez for Hassan and a ginger tartan hat for Strachan?? Could have gone as Johnny Depp look alines for Osvaldo…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 What a pointless, cringeworthy gimmick for the club to initiate. perhaps it is a cunning ploy to encourage fans to let off flares and invade the pitch if we score at our end, everyone wearing a mask they'll have no idea who's who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 There is something to play for - a new record points total for Saints in the Prem. I'd expect Pochettino to see that as a marker for his CV and the players to see it as an achievement for the season. My guess is a full strength team, with the same subs as recently, depending on who is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 Saints are going to be a laughing stock as usual. I'm now going to stay in the pub in Swansea and hang myself. Your posts are very odd and generally premised on the overriding need to look hard or "scene". You are either joking (which isn't funny) or have some sort of deep-seated insecurity. If the former, please stop. If the later, just chill out, you're making life much harder for yourself than it needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 (edited) hull fans have loads of steve bruce masks for wembley. so what? it's just football fans dicking about. no-one has to join in. if saints are doing something for a laugh then good for them, again, no-one has to join in. if it just amuses some kids and idiots and me then it seems worthwhile. obviously my view changes when MLG posts the picture of himself doing someone in a Lallana mask. But why are the club wasting time and money on something that won't appeal to a large chunk of our away support? Knock a couple of quid off the tickets for the first away game of next season instead, but this mask gimmick obviously won't appeal to many.

Who said it excited me at all? How did you come to that conclusion? I just find it sad that whenever the club, or a group of fans, do anything other than rock up to the game in jeans and a T-shirt people like you throw your toys out the pram. Did you have had a reserved upbringing or something. Did daddy spank you for having fun? Did he call you a 'poof' when you started drinking cider instead of beer?

Jack Stephens isn't there, he is on loan at Swindon Town and I can't see Turnbull in any of them. The youngster with a beard is Sam McQueen, not Turnbull. Players who qualify as under 21's in those photos are... Paulo Gazzaniga James Ward-Prowse Luke Shaw Calum Chambers Sam Gallagher Cody Cropper Harrison Reed Jake Flannigan Matthew Targett Sam McQueen no idea who the player in photo number 18 is Is that not the young Targett ??

robdevil7 Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 Thank you very much. Good to see Sam McQueen around the squad. We should really be looking to give him some minutes as we're a little short on the wings and for speed in general. Good to see Flannigan, but he likely won't feature this team considering the plethora of central midfield talent. Will probably see him next season in the cups. What I will say is it's really nice knowing that I can say with confidence that we will be playing our new crop of younger players (Reed, McQueen, etc) in the cups and perhaps even the league next season. They will get an opportunity. It's a far cry from Chelsea or Manchester City whose fans would be lucky to witness even one player being blooded. In five years time I do think we'll be truly established around the nation as a great place to nurture young talent exceptionally well and actually play them. I can only imagine this will attract some of the best talent. Here's to the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see them come through, but would be shame for them to effectively replace some of the younger players who are starting to fulfil their potential like Shaw, Lallana. Imagine if it were to supplement them, thats the only way the team will improve - despite the quality from the academy it has little impact upon the success of our first team. In the last 10 years the only Academy player who has made a tangible difference to the playing results over a decent timeperiod is Lallana.

DuncanRG Posted 2 May, 2014 Share Posted 2 May, 2014 Ramirez might be back from injury. Yoshida, Davis and Rodriguez still out and Schneiderlin probably back. Some nice words from Garry Monk as well: "It will be a proud day. I've got a lot of friends left in Southampton from my time there. That is where i learnt to be a footballer and learned my trade, alongside some fantastic players. "It's a brilliant club and come Saturday it will probably be one of my proudest moments. "From a footballing principle, that is where we have tried to get to, but this is the first season where we have had a fall back from where we have been going previously. "They (Saints) are a very good football side with a great ethos, and of course you want to aspire to something like that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys leaving and to include him will take away a golden chance to blood promising youngsters. To be perfectly honest I wouldn't be surprised/unhappy if he got a one year extension. If he goes that's another squad position that needs filling from either a youngster stepping up - which isn't guaranteed - or money being spent, which we want to minimize.
