| News Comment | Southampton V Oxford United The Verdict at 11:27:43
It is NOT too early in the pre-season. We are so lightweight it is unbelievable. Our entire squad is made up on Championship and League One standard players. McCarthy, Bednarek and Stephens got binned off last time we were in the PL. Armstrong could not cut it. signing players from Peterborough and Swansea ain’t going to keep us up. Lallana is ancient, our weak midfield 3 features Smallbone, Downes and Aribo, and last night we only managed ONE shot on target v Oxford. We are doomed unless our squad is significantly strengthened asap. New keeper, better CB, better midfielder, better winger than Edozie or Sulemana. Shockingly bad transfer window so far for Saints. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Montpellier The Verdict at 08:44:35
We still look very weak defensively. McCarthy, our number 1 GK, all over the place. Montpellier hit the woodwork 3 or 4 times. That was with our top choice midfield 3 starting. Sulemana penalty was terrible for a pub team player. We are ping to get smashed in the PL. |

It’s about time we signed someone decent. We don’t need anymore average squad players. Give us a terrace hero. When was the last time we had one of those? Mane? Pelle? Lambert? |

Ruined by a gambling sponsor. Saints should be ashamed- a club proud of its community foundation thinks it is acceptable to advertise gambling so prominently. A sickening decision |
| News Comment | Saints Agree Deal With West Ham United For Flynn Downes at 17:21:36
Would like to see Broja back, Colburn. Ramsdale as GK would be brilliant too. Good shouts those 👍🏻. Just read Saints have signed a shirt sponsorship deal with Rollbit, a crypto gambling firm. If true, very disappointing and another immoral financial decision after Sportsbet.IO. All about the spondoolies eh |
| News Comment | Southampton Make Sixth Summer Signing at 18:30:57
No. The big question is- when are we going to sign two decent midfielders, a keeper, and a centre forward? Nevermind ‘6 signings so far’- one from Swansea, one from Peterborough, one from relegated Burnley, one a 36 year old winger, plus McCarthy and THB. To be competitive in the PL, we have to do much better, otherwise we’ll go straight back down. |
| News Comment | No Togetherness No Character No Fight at 13:49:00
I have never been so infuriated watching Saints this season. Our tactics are awful, 65-70% possession and no shot on target- what is the point of this? When you play a competitive sport, you play to WIN. Last night was another complete embarrassment for our entire city on live TV. I am not buying another ticket until we change the way we play. Had enough now. I don't care whether we are 4th, 12th or 20th, but we always give every game a good go. That is the Southampton Way, not this current garbage. |
| News Comment | Will Russell Martin Be The 7th Manager In A Row Hounded Out Of Southampton at 19:40:34
Have you seen us play this season? We are sh1te. Have you seen how SR have destroyed our squad, pocketed a massive net profit, and left us with nothing all over the pitch? Or how SR prised Martin away from Swansea? A manager with no previous success? Our tactics are utterly pathetic. SR and Wilcox have destroyed any chance we had of promotion. I’m tolerant and all for giving anyone a chance, like most Saints fans. What I don’t accept though, is our club being ruined. Again. I’m not going to happy clap that, ever. Get the right manager and players in. Or we’re doomed to obscurity. |
| News Comment | Southampton At Brighton The Verdict at 12:18:43
It's been a terrible season from start to finish. Retirement Ralph, Jones, and Selles have all contributed to our abysmal predicament and with Martin having had two seasons with MK Dons and two with Swansea, this seems in line with SR appointments. Cheap, and unproven at top level. Selles will, thankfully, not be with us next season. He has never managed an adult football team before Saints in the PL. I still cannot believe he was even considered, let alone given the top job, with 16 games still to play. The way we have played since the World Cup reflects a rudderless club with nothing to cheer for. 25 defeats in 37 games FFS. Also look how we played v Grimsby, Blackpool, Sheff Weds, Lincoln, and all the teams in the bottom half of the PL. We are absolutely garbage. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Crystal Palace The Preview at 13:30:30
The squad is better than it’s league position? Seriously, we are utterly rubbish. Bottom of the league because we have one of the weakest, most inept and toothless squads to represent our great city. We have lost to most of our nearest rivals, lost to Grimsby, barely beat Blackpool, Lincoln, and Sheff Weds, conceded loads of goals, struggle to score, look bereft of creativity, regularly leave opponents unmarked in our own 6 yard box, have a ‘Captain’ that loves playing sideways and backwards, and no matter what XI starts, we look like a League One team. We have no heroes- not a single, reasonably consistent, exciting player you’d pay to watch. We deserve to be relegated after flirting with it for years and not improving the squad. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Brighton The Verdict at 13:30:11
Utter garbage. Saints were and are dreadful. No excuses, throughout the squad there is a complete lack of quality. We are doomed, especially playing under an ex Luton and Yeovil manager FFS. A disgraceful state of affairs instigated by a bunch of robber barons. The team is an embarrassment to the great city of Southampton. Ineptitude with a losing mentality spells imminent disaster- we’ll be relegated by March and never return. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Arsenal The Verdict at 09:09:10
Lyanco is a proper defender. Gets stuck in and tackles like he means it. Scares the daylights out of lightweight diving forwards. Love it. JWP is not a centre midfielder. I'd start Lyanco and Lavia there when fit, and stick JWP right mid in a 4-2-3-1, where he can whip in crosses for our new CF to be signed in January.... |
| News Comment | Saints At Klagenfurt The Verdict at 13:52:36
We do cheer on our team, very much so. Almost 50 years in my case. We're just sick of mediocrity, or worse. Sick of numerous poor performances. Why should we happily go along with all the garbage we've been dished up continually the past 4 years? Unless you are ok with 15th place and a Championship standard squad? #notahappyclapper |
| News Comment | Saints At Klagenfurt The Verdict at 12:25:02
We have a rubbish squad. No PL quality aside from JWP and KWP, that is it. Pre-season does matter, to get our shape, work ethic, and mentality right. It is clear nothing has changed at all. We can't even beat Klagenfartypants FC or score against them. Same old excuses from Ralph, 4 years now....15th or lower once again. We are desperate for 3 or 4 decent players to improve us significantly. |
