Bella-Kotchap Speaks About Southampton Future
at 10:31:32

Short memories. ABK was an error waiting to happen, his game full of slips at crucial moments, missed tackles. A German JS!!
And his injuries!
And then deciding he didn't want to play for us. He gets sent out on loan and repeats his errors and gets dropped before getting injured!
He's back here because we couldn't sell him! Nobody would pay for him!
So don't blame the manager. ABK refused to play for us thinking he was too goid for us. But I haven't seen club's clamouring to buy him!
Now because he finds himself stuck here he whinges.

Southampton Said To Be Close To Agreement For Russell Martin Replacement
at 13:10:30

At least Susan B has looked him up, like me!
Top 10 finishes in La Liga with unfancied teams, 5 in succession with Valencia. His last post, Roma, perennial failures, just wanted to fail again so he departed.
We could have done much worse - Steve Cooper anyone?

Southampton V Liverpool The Carabao Cup Verdict
at 13:54:13

Actually Paul Onuacho is very good. Hardly surprising he's rusty (Sorry!!) hardly having played this year.
Saw a lot of him in Turkey last season and he is impressive - skilful with a power shot and an equally powerful header.
He's scored regularly in 3 different leagues but those teams utilised him properly.
There are those that say it'll be Route 1 football. Probably the same people that call for the ball cleared from our box then complain when it comes straight back!
I don't recall Liverpool and England playing Route 1 football and Peter Crouch scored a hatful for both.
Typical of people criticising without knowing the facts. Or football

Southampton Board Said To Have Set Deadline Day For Russell Martin
at 15:13:39

SPVW, they're self-styled "experts" on football with self-styled "top reporters" with quotes such as "the board told me"!! And often carrying "exclusive" stories alongside numerous other sites "exclusively " carrying the same stories.
One of many sites, like fansnetwork, that have appeared outside
mainstream journalism.
At least.on here we can freely express our own views and opinions, within limits!

Southampton Board Said To Have Set Deadline Day For Russell Martin
at 12:21:47

TBRFootball have been saying "next international break" since the first international break of the season. The problem is employing flops as reporters, those who can't score with proper media such as national press! No "aces"!
That said, like others on here, I don't understand the delay. Win 1 game and RM safe for the season? A point in Manchester and a contract extension?
Silly comments like SR only want to be in the Championship don't help. In fact anything we say on here doesn't help. Who reads the comments except us?
Our imput here won't get beyond here. I hardly think Dragan Solak wakes every morning and grabs his phone to read fansnetwork, just as no other manager/owner does. It's just a place people waste time and effort, make pointless remarks and finish up feeling superior. In my case waste a lot of time as it taking ages to write this!!
Whatever is going to happen will happen, Sky Sports will likely let's us know. And we can all say "I told you so" whatever we said previously on here!

Big Big Game For Russell Martin At Bournemouth
at 13:34:39

What is wrong with people? "Let's become Saints' fan so we can whinge and whine"
We gained a draw, we aren't bottom, we've played 5 games with 33 to go!
Our opposition on Monday went 10 games without a win, they were getting used to a style of play, bedding-in. Then they went and attained their highest ever points total.. Their fans didn't call to sack the board, fire the manager. They got behind the players, supported their team.
So unlike Saints' supporters who are whinging if we don't score within 30 seconds of the start, calling to sack the manager if still no score after 10 minutes.
GET REAL. It's going to be difficult, points will be few and far between, there'll be disappointments.
We don't have a team of Championship players as some so called fans suggest. We have a decent side.
Get behind them and be proper supporters instead of of whining minnies.

Kyle Walker Peters Giving Russell Martin A Dilemma
at 20:19:32

The stats show Sugawara far ahead of KWP in all aspects and Taylor is a better natural left back. Plus KWP has turned down a new contract.
Obvious, drop him. Get what we can for him in January.

Southampton V Manchester United The Verdict
at 11:37:53

So RM's only disappointment was the ref and 4th official looked at each other before sending Stephen's off?
My disappointment was that, after the fluffed penalty, we didn't have another attempt on goal!
We were brilliant for 30 minutes, had a few good chances then the penalty debacle. Apparently it was RM's decision on the taker. Score that and who knows?
The team, apart from Stephens obviously, was my what I posted before the game. As far as I know we still have Tall Paul. Against Everton on Tuesday I'd get him in with Stewart alongside and 2 true wingers and 2 DMs and play ABK and TBH at the back with Lumley in goal. Play as a fluid 442/424 with FBs adding extra wide attackers when going forward.
Next Saturday revert back to Saturday's team but with Tall Pall or Stewart as striker and 2 out of JB/THB/ABK at the back

Southampton V Manchester United The Preview
at 14:32:37

The three to drop are Adama, who has struggled to step up, Smallbone, sadly, who also has failed to be anywhere near the standard, and teacher's pet Stephens, lowest ranked player in each game.
Back 4: Saggy; TBH/ABK; JanB; KWP
DM: FD; Ugo
AM: Fernando
SF: Dibling; Cornet
No wingers!! But both Dribbles Dibbles and Cornet are fluid and speedy. Fernando is a true attacking midfielder and scorer so they can morf into a front 3, MU's weakness this season. Both Saggy and KWP can provide balls in whilst FD and Ugo cover the midfield
If this doesn't pan out, as Nick says, we can totally change the side at half-time with wingers, we have plenty!, and striker (Tall Paul?? Ross Stewart??)
Lallana could be good for 30 minutes. He still has class and skill
If Stephens plays after his disastrous shows so far I can see fans really starting the RM OUT calls, me not yet in full voice but starting to lean that way

Date Set For Southampton's Carabao Cup Trip To Everton
at 14:19:59

I remember my first game at Goodison; 1954 against Chelsea with my grandad, a lifelong blue! The biggest memory was the throwing of toffees into the crowd at half-time, when they were still owned by sweet-maker Barker & Dobson, thus the nickname!
When the family returned home I insisted on being taken to the Dell and the lifelong stress began!!!

Southampton Receive Formal Transfer Request In Writing From Player
at 19:03:10

ericofarabia you don't think they woke one January morning and decided to buy Onuachu? It takes months and he was Ralph's choice before he was removed in November.
Before trying to be clever maybe you should learn about football!

Southampton Receive Formal Transfer Request In Writing From Player

Ralph brought him in and wingers to provide him. The club immediately sacked Ralph and subsequent managers, including the current one, didn't know how to utilise his talent!
Only once did I see a high cross for him to attack. 20 yards out and hit the post. Seen him play 3 times in Turkey. He'd flourished in the PL: he has a beast of a shot . Like a Peter Crouch upgrade.
I feel sorry for him having been messed about by the club. Hope his next dream has a better outcome

Charly Alcaraz Says He Wants To Be At Southampton
at 18:08:32

As with Tall Paul, it's often the manager that doesn't know how to utilise something a bit different (Le Tiss and England?)
Tall Paul scored for fun before and after arriving but was wrongly used here. I only ever saw one high cross to his head in any game, 20 yards out. OK he hit the post! He has a thunderous shot (saw him play 3 times in Turkey) Used properly he'd light up the PL (Crouch?)
Carlos Alcaraz, apart from winning Wimbledon, offers something different. He needs that striker (EvertonSaint's cooment) who can feed him on the burst. Maybe Ross Stewart is the man??
