    26 passes (Goal has been nominated for Goal of the weekend)

    Back on topic guys: So extended highlights are up and they do show the entire goal. I tried counting and I thought I counted 27 passes, but I may easily have made a mistake. What did you tally?

    Article: Chaplow - a new problem Football Southampton

    This isn't a problem - this is good news. More realistically there will be injuries or suspensions and this "problem" will sort itself out. I call it depth.

    Movember 2011 - Sponsor KingslandSFC

    There are some fascinating photos on my friend's blog from the US National Championships if you click here. I'm sure you know what you're going to go for already, though. Good luck!

    How Long

    Hahaha. I love it. Of course, I also see that happening BECAUSE Nigel took us there, so I don't see how we'd have outgrown him. It's like my game in Football Manager - SFC have won 4 of 5 Champions League trophies in a row...all because of me! The Club needs me simply put. :) :D

    Theo sell on clause

    Agreed. The sell-on is no longer. Plus, it's doubtful Barca would want Theo anyway. Where would they play him?

    How Long

    That scares me. What's a scenario where the Saints outgrow him?

    I'm on the Bus!

    Welcome! I too am a bit worried about our away form, but as long as we keep winning at home and getting those 1-pointers on the road then we will be just fine. I'd like to see wins both home and away, though, before I begin to think we're Prem material.

    Have England had the players to win ?

    I think we can all agree that the EPL is the best league in the world, and if not best, certainly top 3. That means the harder it is for an English player to get into the league the better this player is. You want the best players on the English squad? Then you should make the EPL a league...

    Have England had the players to win ?

    I'm currently reading a book called "Soccernomics" by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski and it's fabulous. The whole 2nd chapter (or thereabouts) is about why England hasn't won, and it's VERY convincing. I recommend the book to everyone. It's from 2009, so slightly outdated, but I heard in an...

    Over half way to relegation safety!

    In 2010/2011 the final 3 spots had 42 points, with 4th from the bottom at 48 points In 2009/2010 the 3rd from the bottom had 47 points and the 4th from the bottom had 49 points. In 2008/2009 (when we were relegated) the 3rd from the bottom had 46 points and the 4th from the bottom had 51 points...

    Derby County v Southampton - Match Thread

    If both teams like to knock it around and attack, wouldn't this end up being a high-scoring affair? Why all the 1-1 predictions? Also - two managers named Nigel!

    Freddy Eastwood

    Heck, Beckham is available after his contract in November expires and I was thinking about him as a Saint....and decided I'd pass. I like the team as it is.

    Article: Restructure of the Leagues | Football, Portsmouth

    A simple point from a foreigner: if we're restructuring, can we use different league names? Explaining to a non-fan how the CHAMPIONSHIP isn't the best level, or that League ONE is actually level THREE in the hierarchy is really a bit strange. If you want to keep Premiership then fine. Make the...

    Article: Goal Technology - Why The Delay..? | Football Southampton

    Basically, the issue is that people with power like retaining that power. They do everything they can to retain it even if it goes against popular belief, logic, or sensibilities. In this case, the FA is sticking with the ******ed "this is the way it's always been" defense and refuse to accept...
