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. |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Comment | Bella-Kotchap Speaks About Southampton Future
at 19:45:44
The reason his heart wasn’t mentioned is because it’s irrelevant. For example Eriksen collapsed on a pitch and had to be revived yet the bionic man plays for Man Utd, albeit not so well due to his age.
I don’t think many players who have broken into the German national team would want to play in the Championship if they could go elsewhere, still in a top league. As for not playing in u21’s, maybe not the wisest decision if getting fitter would help but if the manager has made it clear you’re not in contention for the first team then I don’t blame him for that. He deserves another chance after playing so well when he first arrived and every player should have an equal opportunity with a new set up. I agree with Nick.
On another note, is the Duke arriving next Wednesday from Brazil? |

Comment | Who Had Heard Of Pochettino ! As Saints Fans Question New Manager's Credentials
at 17:20:59
St Michael, it’s not what most fans wanted but it was what needed to happen. I don’t quite understand how you can defend the last 16 league games under Martin. 5 points and 13 losses. Players asked to do things they can’t do leading to errors and goals conceded without any sign of a change in that pattern, heading for a 15 point season. Had he tried to adapt things may have improved but he refused to. Crazy stuff and we have become a laughing stock again.
The other issue is that those above him lack nous as proved by a catalogue of poor decision making and no true footballing expertise looking to arrive anytime soon. They could see the obvious weeks ago, exactly what football experts predicted, that our game plan was madness and we’d get even more punished for it in a league higher. They just kicked the can down the road.
Unlike the rest of you, I don’t think we’re down yet because there’s 3 or 4 other teams who are no better than our squad. |

Comment | Southampton V Liverpool The Carabao Cup Verdict
at 12:31:48
Can’t believe how many fans have written us off already.. every season is different, we can still stay up!
Last night was really poor first half with some fighting spirit in the second. Stitched again by a chest called Hooper, as I predicted to my mate at the start of the game. There was no way he would have sent off Quansah, if it was at the other end, he wouldn’t have hesitated in giving a red to us. Total and complete cheat. But that sums up English referees, they are biased and don’t want to upset the big clubs.
I’ll say it again, Hooper is a cheat as he proved last night. |
