| News Comment | Sulemana Linked To French Club at 19:11:34
Does anyone in the club have the slightest idea of what they’re doing? Now Archer has interest because we haven’t played him but have played 2 inferior forwards to him in Armstrong and Onuachu.. Archer is the only one with a finish aside from Dibling.. Why don’t we sell Archer, Onuachu and Archer and go into the rest of the season with no forwards apart from Armstrong? With Dibling off too, if you want to believe all these story’s, we will end up with the same 6 points we had ages ago and be the worst ever side in the Prem. Well done SR, you’ve managed to cause chaos and abject failure with a total loss of direction and now disconnect with the fans. Things have to change quickly or we will be like Luton, staring league one in the face again. |
| News Comment | Has Kyle Walker-Peters Played His Last Game For Southampton at 16:52:45
He should have gone in the summer, we’d have got maybe 15 mil for him then and could have bought a proper striker for 25 instead of risking it with Diaz for 7 and whatever we wasted on Cornet. Useless recruitment knowledge, no understanding of what is required and to what level. I would get rid now and get 5 million if we can, could be useful for next season as we’ll have no parachute |
| News Comment | Tyler Dibling Could Be Sold By Saints In January But loaned Back at 16:46:44
Garbage.. why the hell would he want to go to Spurs? Their days of top 6 finishes are gone. If he has any sense, he will stay and get a better deal in the summer and he can easily play for the bigger clubs like Man U, Arsenal even City. Newcastle are a cut above Spurs these days so I don’t believe any of this. The media is filled with Spurs fans who are full of it, thinking they are a big club when they’re not, this is why this story has been banded about.. a media full of Spurs muppets |
| News Comment | Newcastle United At Southampton In Pictures Part 1 at 16:54:09
As for memories, the Branfoot 2-1 with the magic le god brace the 2 x 4-0 in consecutive seasons with Koeman? and the 3-3 last game of the season when Alan Blayney won save of the season under Sturrock, that was an awesome game. I remember a game at the Dell when they had too many fans so some had to go in the Saints section of the Archers with 2 lines of stewards between them but this didn’t stop them from trying T throw punches at us over the top of the stewards.. it was quite comedic. |
| News Comment | Newcastle United At Southampton In Pictures Part 1 at 16:48:00
I think Juric needs a point at least, 6 losses out of 6 will be a bad look. The players need to fight more, show more desire and stop trotting round the park like it’s light training. Sick of watching these trotters who play like they’ve had a lobotomy. A nil nil would be great as we have no Bling or Sulemana and the best finisher Archer isn’t his favourite. |
| News Comment | Shea Charles Could Be About To Cross The Sheffield Footballing Divide at 17:03:52
Totally disagree. If we send him out again we won’t ever see him in a Saints shirt again. Not only would it be good for him to experience premier league football, it’s character building when the going is tough and he might actually dominate a game or 2 in the middle and help us get more points. Imagine what a filip that would be for him and his progress! Bring him back and play him. Send out Smallbone on loan instead as he needs game time to get fit and isn’t good enough for this level at the moment. |
| News Comment | Saints Defender Yet To Agree January Move Although Club's Agree Terms at 16:53:37
Another abject recruitment failure from the summer because of a lack of expertise in the club. Fernandes is the only new face who has proven their worth. Maybe Wood has shown something and Archer some promise. The jury is out for all of the other permanent signings, which is shocking. Good luck to Charlie Taylor, I hope he gets more of a chance elsewhere |
| News Comment | Southampton Said To Have made Decision On Tyler Dibling's Transfer at 16:49:00
The fact that we brought in Diaz and Cornet shows how completely incompetent our board and management are. If we’d have brought in one good player for each average 2 we might have had a chance of staying up and keeping Dibling. Instead we will lose our best players again and be back to square one.. Our recruitment is National League and the decision making no better than league 2. Now we hire someone who can’t get a work permit. Why does this happen to us but not other clubs? Due diligence.. and we have none of it which is why we buy players with weak mentalities and little hunger. |
| News Comment | Southampton At Nottingham Forest The Preview at 10:34:38
He’s had 4 games… so 1 good one and one bad one is to be expected for a month or 2 while he gets the squad up to the right fitness levels and conveys his style and methods. I think it was clear to him where we lost the game on Thursday so at least he sees things and can admit them rather than try to find excuses. I thought the first half at Old Trafford was the best 45 minutes of the season so there is some hope that Juric can be the man.. I like his passion, polar opposite to that of one player he subbed on at United who trotted gently round as if there wasn’t a care in the world and should not play for us again this season until his head gets some desire and aggression in it because it’s not ballet |
| News Comment | Saints Get Pricing Badly Wrong As Set For Lowest FA Cup Attendance in 15 Years at 19:21:38
I’m stunned that they have the balls to charge anything after how we’ve performed last year. The £1.50 is not a booking fee, it’s a sly way of charging more per ticket against the premier league rules. If it were a booking fee, it would not be £6 for buying 4 tickets in one transaction. It’s a disgracefully cheap form of theft. Jeez if they are that desperate, they can have it. I just wish they wouldn’t keep spending millions on dross because they have no football knowledge between them. Joke of a club now because of the clowns who make the decisions. I agree the fanzone is more of an irritation than a positive for me. Maybe because we’re losing every game. I have to be desperate to buy anything at the ground and no I don’t think the club give a shit about the fans, as proven by the above financial disgraces. There is no togetherness between us and them sadly and I don’t ever see it changing with SR |
| News Comment | Dom Ballard Recalled To Southampton From Loan Spell But Not Striking Answer at 17:11:41
We should bring back Edozie, he’s better than anything else we’ve had on that side of the pitch. Loan out Sulemana and Smallbone too with Charles coming back to replace him. Aribo can at least be a squad player in the 8 or 10 position, he can’t play in the deeper midfield areas to save his life but he ghosts into the box and shows something in attack. Smallbone needs game time and he’s not hungry enough for this level. I still have no idea why we loaned out Charles and Edozie and replaced them with inferior players! Charlie Taylor or Manning should go as we now have Welington. You can understand Juric comments about us needing to cull. In response to the article, I don’t believe there’s a fan out there who thought Ballard was going to somehow be the goal scoring solution, but I suppose it’s a story.. May as well sell Dibling now and get the most for him to help us prepare for next season in tier 2. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Brentford The Verdict at 19:37:55
Every time we play 5 at the back we get overrun in midfield and big Les had to do the job of 2 men in there. Result was therefore very predictable. We only have one decent finisher, Archer, not in starting line up, 2 players we’ve been trying to rid of for 2 years start. No creativity in midfield to feed our incompetent strikers selected. We spent 45 million on Ramsdale and THB (who is worth 10) plus a load more on Downes yet set aside just 7 million for Diaz plus a Cornet loan expecting to tear up the Prem? As has been stated we didn’t bring in any potency up top aside from a young Archer, relying on a crocked Rod Stewart, another farcical purchase from the clowns who sit round the table. Yesterday was an all time low thanks to SR and their ignorance. Their latest appointment just smacks of more cluelessness. Ankersen and Parsons have to go, they just don’t have the nous and haven’t replaced Wilcox. |
| News Comment | Southampton Set To Keep Chelsea Loan Signing at 10:49:37
I think he’s a fantastic player dropped into a tough situation. His physicality stands out and already shows he can boss a midfield. If we brought back Charles and loan out Smallbone, we’ll be a lot stronger in the middle of the park and can then pick up results with the addition of a good striker on loan. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Brentford The Preview at 10:18:52
I don’t see the point in starting Armstrong again, at least Sulemana won a free kick on the edge of the box 5 mins after coming on which was more than Armstrong did the whole game. For me Archer is a better foil for tall Pall and at least we have a focal point to the attack with Paul, who just needs a goal. He’s also battled really well and got the crowd going in a season where we’ve been largely toothless up top. I would rather see a lightweight Sam Amo than Armstrong because he draws fouls. 1 set piece goal (finally) might be the difference between a point and none. I agree Les should start and Bree too, he’s a good footballer. Don’t fancy us winning with Aribo starting either, another who is an ok sub but doesn’t give enough so would rather see Lallana in the midfield. We just need a win for spirits sake, forget the table! |
| News Comment | Do Southampton Cut Their Losses Now On This Season And Cash In On Kyle Walker Peters at 16:52:34
I’ll be amazed if we get more than 7 million for him. Firstly there was no queue of clubs in the summer coming in for him, which is why he ended up staying. Secondly any club will know he is out of contract in 5 months and haggle accordingly if not wait until summer. This leaves the teams who are desperate and prepared to jump in before summer. These are not the moves that KWP wants unless one of those clubs are big and there aren’t many big desperate teams out there. As such I expect him to stay. I agree with Nick though that we should cash in as much as possible if we can next month, 5 million would be useful. After picking up zero points from the last must win two games, it’s hard to see us overhauling 3 teams. Still, I hope we bring in a couple of good loan signings like Ferguson at Brighton if available and have a go at getting as many points as possible. |
| News Comment | Southampton At Crystal Palace The Verdict at 17:57:09
Lansdown Saint took my line.. Can’t believe Juric is already making the same mistakes with personnel. Armstrong and Aribo are top quality Championship players but lack the tools to play in a Premier League season. Armstrong just doesn’t have an end product at this level and Aribo needs to be at his angriest and hungriest to be at the required level but most games looks like he’s been on McCarthy’s herb pipe before the game.. This is why I like Fernandes, he hasn’t been doing it the last few games as well as earlier in the season but he gives absolutely everything every minute. Let’s face it, the Premier League is becoming a comedy show where referees are concerned. They are either completely corrupt without trying to hide it or they are the most incompetent bunch of clones out of the packet. It’s a total disgrace what’s happened this season with the amount of games we’ve been robbed in. It’s quicker to count the ones we weren’t. Sick and tired of being stitched every week and zero apologies from these cheats. The game is rigged |
| News Comment | Southampton In Advanced Talks For Defender But Could This Spell The End For Walker Peters at 23:59:34
I don’t see us getting much more than 5 million for KWP if he goes in Jan. With him, Suga and Bree along with Manning, Taylor and Welington we have too many full backs particularly if we’re going to play wingbacks. Fraser should go out on loan to a Championship team and rumours suggest Diaz to Sheffield United looks possible so we do need more attackers if tall Paul is off too. Our attacking recruitment has been poor since SR took over, Archer aside. |
| News Comment | Southampton At Crystal Palace The Preview at 23:39:50
Need to start with our best finisher in Archer or we’ll draw another blank. That said Onuachu must get a goal sooner or later. Probably get 2 in 5 minutes after such a long time.. The next 2 are must win games to give us a decent chance of survival. I can’t see the club making any big signings in Jan, more likely to cull a couple and bring in a striker on loan to replace Cornet, Ferguson would be amazing if we could grab him for 5 months. Charles and Edozie may as well be brought back. |
| News Comment | Southampton V West Ham United The Verdict at 16:44:26
Who scored our last goal? Archer, a superb strike against Liverpool. He’s our best finisher and a grade above Armstrong who just has no end product and his movement is second to Archer as well. So another manager who doesn’t seem to know that in order to win, you need your most potent threats on the pitch. We still had all 3 centre backs on when we’re losing at home in a must not lose game.. Absolutely staggering. I thought Juric had been watching us and knew the players? Yes we were a lot better defensively but we can’t afford to carry passengers like Armstrong and Aribo, and I know the fans love him cos we have a couple of songs for him but he’s way off the pace and lacks aggression when he starts games. Another who fights for 10 minutes when he’s a sub coming on. We need to bring Shea Charles back, he’s a class above some of the others.. Dibling looks like things have got to him, different player all of a sudden over the last month, too much pressure on a young lad |
| News Comment | Southampton V West Ham United The Preview at 18:18:14
Another clueless manager, leaves our only goal scorer on the bench and doesn’t bring him on.. 5 at the back at home in a must win game. Stayed with 3 centre backs when we’re losing.. it’s madness. From top to bottom, the club is devoid of any nous. |
