Charlie Austin hitting back at David Sullivans comments of "his knee could go at any moment" and "his knee has no ligaments so who knows?"
That's West Ham out the running then.

One upside, if KL is indeed looking to sell in the next few years: the financial caution and the increasing TV money are going to raise the asset price of the club pretty dramatically, which will price out all but the richest insane people. Granted, there are still more than a few of those, but we're in good shape to be attractive for good owners.
I would never say never, but her father's memory is firmly attached to the club, so I can't see her looking to sell in a hurry. On the other hand, she might think her job here is done once we win the title and the Champions' League.

No, please don't wake me up.

Even more confusing, if it was all agreed why not just complete the deal? I don't understand, the worst that could have happened is we would have a midfield 3 of Morgan, Vic & Clasie

For a start it would rinse us of any bargaining power, as we'd clearly either want to get of Morgan, or have prepared for that eventuality. So we'd no longer look like a team who are adamant we're keeping him (so to maximise his price).
 
Sorry if reported before but Koeman just been shown on Sky complaining about the window carrying on after the season has started. Says it is harder on the smaller clubs. Confirms that there have been no offers for Wanyama and Mane and that the club has to deal with rumours. Says he doesn't know where they have come from but suggests perhaps ManU. Says no more players will be leaving.
 
In the early days, I did, very much so. I started supporting Saints in 2003 after they lost the FA cup final, I'm not here for glory but weird a sense of affiliation to a club 100 miles down the coast, I even moved to Southampton for university to see my beloved red and white stripes every week. That affiliation was built upon a bedrock of players who I identified as the true Saints, sure they came and went but there was always a handful of fans favorites in each squad. Now I feel like when I take my seat in the Kingsland corner I have to start cheering a whole new bunch of 'favourites' and the previous lot have pissed off. Its becoming difficult to support a new bunch, . The Southampton way has disappeared in to the greedy and cynical world of football. As a result, atmosphere suffers - how can 30,000 people be expected to come up with creative chants for 5-10 new names in a host of languages if they can't pronounce the name properly. I can no longer sanction paying £35 to see a bunch of names run around kissing a badge that means a lot to me, in the knowledge they will leave for a few extra dollar signs. If loyalty in football is dead, why is the fickle fan expected to remain patriotically loyal to a club?

Lol. One of my Sons supports Saints like me.........My other son supports...........Aguero!!! "What if he moves to another club?" I asked him. "Then I'll support that club" was his reply.

Saw that - he seemed so pissed off.
 
Everyone is entitled to their views and their expectations, I do respect that. I think I just prefer my little world where I think I know where we sit currently in the footballing world, like the fact that we are trying to evolve into something better (and succeeding), don't expect everything to happen now and just enjoy being a Saints fan.

I struggle to share the mind set of people in life who generally point out the negative, when sometimes there might not even be one.
