Virgil Van Dijk Confirms He Is Happy At St Mary's
at 01:32:26

I know that I am perhaps an overly optimistic sort, but it's hard not to be from where I sit. I have been a fan since I was young but it was a strange fandom. It used to be that I just read box scores in the paper and saw occasional Saints highlights on late night international sports programmes. Southampton was not a team that garnered much coverage in North American sports circles. Now they are much more visible. They attract some of the best talent in the world, on the pitch, on the sidelines and in the boardroom (shout out to fellow Canadian Ralph Krueger!) I want to see them reach the top however and wherever they can be it Cups, Europe or in the league. But I know I wouldn't trade this team for any in England, never a dull moment.

At any rate I love the team, the civil discourse between supporters (even over the most controversial decisions)and the hard work on this site.

Happy Holidays to all, onward we march! COYS!

Saints Head Into Christmas In Par Position !

I can't fault anyone on her for hoping that Saints reach for the top. But I think for a first year manager taking over a team that, once again, had lost top talent (including a manager) Puel has done quite a respectable job.

Saints have a shot at a Wembley trip, the FA Cup to play for, Man U and the Europa slots still in our sites and a team where (almost) everyone feels like if they are at their best they'll get a shot at representing the side and making a difference.

Not many teams can boost that!

And trust me ,from this side of the pond, Saints have a lot of room to grow worldwide, and particularly here in North America. However, we'd be quite unrealistic to think can make a dent in the kind of market speak of the top six over here in the short term. (Nearly every Premier League follower here has a Man U, Chelsea or Liverpool kit in the closet for Saturday mornings-and those clubs can only dream of the support over here for Barca and Madrid.)

I think they are on the right path, we are going the right direction. On we march!
