    Saints Academy Thread

    Forgive me but in what universe is that a "poacher's" goal. It is very good strikers goal. Surely a poacher's goal is tap in from close range?

    Best Starting 11

    I'd like to see this. Or the OP team with Stephens replaced by Davis, Tadic or JWP Clearly our strikers are struggling on their own, Redmond needs dropping and we need to think of a system that Boufal can work in

    The Premier League Thread

    What you are saying is correct and the figures are an interesting read. But I don't think "will be fine" is what they were aiming for at the start of the season

    The Premier League Thread

    I am trying to puzzle out why they are playing 5 defenders (plus the two holders). And it is not just because they were at Old Trafford because they do it in all the games Factors are: - Not trusting Keane and Williams to be a central defensive 2 (despite doing it at Burnley and Swansea) - Not...

    They do need pace up front...

    I would like to see Tadic and Redmond swap during the match. I am sure they can both play on either side

    I don't know. It is what one of the commentators was rambling about When Cabaye hit it over he mentioned something about hitting it into the nearby Sainsbury's and rambled from there...

    Some TMS-esque commentary on this one - cut price sandwiches for evening games at the Sainsbury's near the ground... Who is on commentary ?

    The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

    Kind of glosses over that if this was indeed the plan no one bothered to tell Virgil about it. Unless his sulk was part of the plan to turn saints fans against him. I like how it starts off talking about fake news and then spins the biggest web of disinformation I have read in quite some time

    That is an admirable sentiment - until you look at our December and January fixtures. When at the moment I can see us getting almost no points from that entire period

    Prepare for relegation I assume. I don't think we will ever jump for a manager like Sam as a specialist to keep people up It shatters the image of being a "well run" and organised club (which we seem to be in every aspect except the recruitment of replacement players) Last knee jerk...

    It is not clear if there is anyone we can beat. Brighton are predicted to struggle and they have got 3 against WBA. The way we are playing we are not going to be even getting 1 against WBA It seems something drastic is needed. But since the players cannot be changed (and haven't been even when...

    Which paper? Certainly not the one showing the table last year with the negative goal difference Or the list of last seasons results with zeroes all over it...

    Match Day Thread Saints vs Watford 09/09/2017 3PM KO

    What seems to be worrying is that we were appalling going forward all of last season and nothing has really been done in the off season to address this I can only assume that we could not find any appropriately valued replacements that were enough of an upgrade with what we have It seems like...

    I assume that question is rhetorical ?
