Comment | Is Russel Martin’s Priority Southampton FC Or His Own Agenda
at 15:04:39
Yeah this has been pretty obvious since half way through last season. Its not a conspiracy theory by definition as a conspiracy involves a group of people. This is just RM putting his playing style in the shop window and not caring what it means for Saints.
Whilst I agree that the squad quality meant 17th is probably the absolute upper limit for any manager, its definitely good enough to have more than 5 points after 15 games. |

Comment | Southampton V Watford The FA Cup Replay Preview
at 10:00:27
If anyone at the club is thinking, “Rather not get through here because we don’t want to lose our unbeaten run at Liverpool”, then those people don’t deserve to be in football.
I’m sure no one is thinking that though. It’s a ridiculous concept. May as well deliberately avoid even getting in the play offs as we don’t want to risk a harder season next year!! |

Comment | Southampton Accept £60 Million Offer For Romeo Lavia
at 12:24:59
Of course this lad could go on to be a world class player. However it seems a bonkers price in my opinion. He looked good at times last season but also very raw with plenty of mistakes. Cant see he's ready for the first team of a top PL club. Would have thought a season in the championship would have been better for all parties. |

Comment | Striker Said To Be Close To Southampton Transfer

Its hardly a revelation that Saints need an experienced proven goalscorer. However they are very difficult to come by because everyone wants them. There seems to be an odd assumption that something dont want this, rather than they cant get it |

Comment | Southampton Linked With Manchester United Player ! But Not The One We Need !
at 16:31:33
Its quite tricky taking someone seriously who think Phil Jones is the answer to any problem a premier league team might have.
Even at the height of his career he was a player whose kamikaze defending was all that rescued him from his disastrous positional play. Having started 4 games in the last 3 years he is a long way from that peak. |

Comment | The Diving Epidemic In Football Needs To Be Dealt With Now !
at 13:21:50
There is a hugely significant point which always gets missed when the diving discussion is had. The Mane incident Saturday illustrated it well. Had he stayed on his feet - which he could have - he would still have been impeded. His stride pattern would have been broken and even if he had managed to get to the ball, his balance would have been way off. However a penalty would not have been given. And that is one one of the reasons players "dive". He shouldn't have to learn to go to ground in a convincing way to get the penalty. The referees need to learn that you don't have to go down for it to be a penalty. Of course you still get the instances where a player leaps to the floor with o contact even attempted and those are the situations where retrospective action can and should take place. But the referees have a part to play too - until that happens "dives" like Manes on Saturday will not "and arguably should not" stop |
