Pochettino praises Gabbiadini....well, you'd have to be blind and deaf not to, but article goes on to suggest that perhaps Spurs will make a bid for him in the summer. He's not on loan, moron, he's our player and will not be sold after a few months. :headbang:
Don't think he's been here long enough to accumulate the sufficient amount of Saints dust needed to avoid being wrecked by Spurs or Liverpool.
 
And the relegation zone has moved 2 points closer in 2 games, so if we lose all of the last 12 games we will stay up on GD (probably).
Just come from looking at the PL table and thought similar to that too. At least one of the bottom three have to pick up and I don't think any of them have got it in them. All Swansea have to do is chug along, getting the odd few points here and there and I'm sure they'll be safe too.
 
Lawro says 2-0 Spurs - what's new? I'm flicking down his predictions looking at the club badges/emblems. Ours really is the crappiest!

I'd have to disagree with that. I personally think ours is the best in the division, and have for a long time.

Been meaning to post this for a long time now, but I saw an Instagram post by Alice Rawsthorn OBE - ex-Director of the Design Museum, trustee of the Whitechapel Gallery, and judge sitting on Turner Prize and Stirling Prize panels amongst others - a while back. She said to her 35k followers, below an image of the Saints emblem:

'Dearly though I love the feisty Red Devil on Manchester United's crest, the most engaging Premiership emblem is Southampton's. The legacy of a 1970s design competition for the club's supporters, it sports water for the city's docks, a tree from the nearby New Forest, the civic symbol of a white rose and Southampton's red and white-striped scarf tied around a football topped off with a golden halo alluding to the club's nickname "the saints"'.

That's actually incorrect. The scarf represents our once thriving scarf industry at the turn of the century, on which much of the city's wealth was based. And we were known at the time as the 'ball, scarf, see, trees'. This was later shortened to 'saints' due to the difficulty in chanting this at matches.
