Yes. But no more than that. I think the fact that it's West Ham may be a factor here.

The whole discussion about 'class' and/or lack of, seems to me to be a very Cockney thing. Anytime I read comments by Hammers or Spurs fans, they seem to be banging on about it.

Just seems weird that football supporters, of all people, should always be looking to take the moral high ground over one another.
I have nothing against West Ham. But it's still cringy.

It's not hard to take the moral high ground when it involves those two porn sleeze balls from the East End.

They make my skin crawl. You may think I'm odd, but so be it. I think they are classless and slimy.
 
Genuine question: Is this the most boring Southampton transfer window of all time?

There have been so few rumours to get excited about. We have only had a couple of Saint ...! threads. Terrible.

Problem with Transfer Windows is one really good one builds everyone's expectations up.

We were spoils by the Saint Gaston! episode.


Same with the media and Deadline Day....hasn't been a really good one for a while but they still live off Rooney, Robinho, Torres/Carroll to hype it up every year

Agreed. And what I really, and I mean really, right, hate is that they snuck into West Ham. National bleedin' treasure wot won the World Cup. Bastards.

Course, getting a new huge ground as a freebie hasn't exactly improved my feeling for them. Sorry, this is a transfer rumour bleedin' fread without any decent rumours FFS.
 
WHU are now approaching a very wealthy club status; over 50K season ticket holders and a ground that cost them near nothing to occupy - I an see them leap frogging us this season. Given the current setup - they are looking like a top six side. They could, of course, implode given bringing too many signings - but they have astute (if dis-likable) management and a good manager. They are a definite threat to us this season.

It may have been said or stated elsewhere, but the fact that West Ham were able to get a stadium that every tax payer help fund is an absolute disgrace.
 
Is it just me or are we missing something about shirts sold? Maybe I am being naive, but wouldn't Man U sell those shirts anyway? I'm sure we sell x amount of shirts and just whoever is flavour of the year people get their name on it. Eg last year loads of shirts with Mane on, this year with Redmond on or just blank? How many extra shirts are sold because of a player? I have a Man U supporting mate and he buys a shirt every year, and just gets who ever is the main man on the back each year. He won't buy an extra one just because Pogba has signed.

You're probably right. I guess a big name signing significantly bumps up those sales a bit, though. And the fact is, Pogba would. Fonte I imagine wouldn't if he went there.*

* I don't for a second think Fonte is going anywhere, by the way. Easy to tell what is agent and contract talk vs the real deal imo.

Haven't you noticed that there are more and more Non English shirts on our kids these days? And that when I was a kid in the eighties you wouldn't see any kid or adult wearing a foreign team's shirt,

A lot of kids these days don't actually support a team. They have favourite players. Neymar, Messi, Aguero, Ronaldo etc and they buy the club shirt that player plays for.

My youngest son supports Aguero. He doesn't support Man City per se. My eldest Son supports Saints. Big name players sell a lot of extra shirts.

And that when I was a boy you wouldn't see any child or adult wearing a team's shirt unless they were actually playing in a game of football. From different people I have spoken to a lot of parents like their children wearing football shirts as they are hard wearing and wash and dry easily.

Linkef with buying Presnel Kimpembe 20yr old cb at PSG. Saw him a few times in their preseason games and he looked a prospect.

Terrible google translate

England league ekio from Paris Siantar-Germain's young defender Presnel Kimpembe Premier League team suggests that you want to transfer to Southampton.

L'Equipe't according to the news; transfer period, the name is an attractive offer from Southampton to Turkey with Trabzonspor often referred to as Presnel Kimpemb were recorded. Kimpemb for the club, says he wants to go to a club and refused to play the new contract offer from PSG was stated that it intends to reach an agreement with Southampton.

Presnel Kimpemb to Nice, Monaco and the club as well as the teklf Saint-Etienne, but he wanted to give a written booth outside France PSG 20-year-old talented stopper.

Paris Saint-Germain grown in the infrastructure Presnel Kimpemb, he will find a chance to form 6 games last season.


I always think these obscure foreign websites are more trustworthy than a rumour in the English press
 
Well there is no doubt that we are a written booth out side France.

His story seems pretty similar to Danish Petes.
He has so far refused a contract extension with PSG based mainly on a lack of playing time. He is currently fourth choice behind Thiago Silva, David Luis and Marquinhos.

Has been playing a few pre season matches whilst those players have been off from international duty and the reviews of those performances have been very favourable.

Will be interesting to see if we sign another player lost in the shuffle in one of europes major clubs
 
Talking about West Ham being cringey, I don't think we are completely innocent.

The first of the "We March On" video's along with the fan bringing home the kit mission from USA were both awfully cringey. Admittedly in a very different way and nothing to do with lacking class, but still cringe worthy!
