Saints only have 2 Premier League quality players
at 13:06 23 Oct 2024

"Alex Crook says Aaron Ramsdale and Tyler Dibling are the only two Southampton players who are good enough to play in the Premier League." And I think the only reason we got Ramsdale was fan pressure and the fact the people in charge of recruitment at the Club didn't get the injured Dutch goalkeper who was their first choice.

Although a few others might be good enough to sit on the benches of teams at the bottom of the league, there seems to have been a massive failure of recruitment both at managerial and player level.

Saints' Brazilian centre forward
at 12:13 14 Oct 2024

I see that Juan, Saints' 22-y-o Brazilian striker, is starting to find the back of the net in Turkey. He's scored in 2 of his last 3 games.

Pompey team playing Russball
at 15:58 13 Oct 2024

Pompey women's team must be playing Russball: they've had 60% possession at Fratton Park today and they're losing 0-5.

The Incredible Central Defensive Saga
at 11:08 17 Sep 2024

Since Van Dijk and Fonte left, a phenomenal number of central defenders have passed through St Mary's, yet we still ended up with Stephens and Bednarek starting against Man United on Saturday.

Hoedt £15 mill
Vestergaard £20 mill
Danso £3 mill
Md Salisu £10 mill
Lyanco £5 mill
Holgate
Klarer
Caleta-Car £15 mill
Bella-Kotchap £10 mill
Harwood-Bellis £20 mill
Wood £3 mill
Edwards £3 mill

There are probably still 1 or 2 more I've forgotten.

What a brilliant performance
at 16:19 14 Sep 2024

from Aaron Ramsdale! That was the best I've seen a Saints goalkeeper play for years. We'd have lost 6 or 7-0 without him.

In fact, we had 2 players today who looked good enough for a top Premier League side: Ramsdale and Dibling; unfortunately, the other 9 didn't.

Saints' highest paid player
at 10:44 10 Sep 2024

When you look at the top 5 highest earners, you have to wonder who the hell is throwing the club's money away like this. In fact, if we got rid of all 5 of them, we could field a better team:

Our best players
at 10:28 25 Aug 2024

Names that spring to mind first - and the problem is some of them play in the same positions - Dibling, Sugawara, Walker-Peters, Taylor, Amo-Ameyaw, Downes. Based on the little I've seen of him, we may be able to add Mateus Fernandes to that list, and Ugochukwu comes highly recommended.

So, basically, we've got wing-backs and midfielders aplenty, but not much else. How do we cobble together our best XI out of that?

Car parking tonight
at 09:59 7 Aug 2024

My usual car park in SO15 is the designated meeting place for tonight's riot, so I guess it will be sealed off by police, and there is also the possibility of 1 or 2 cars being burnt. So, I'm looking for somewhere new to park for tonight's game, away from the city centre.
