There is a (very) particular time and place for them. My father-in-law, who died a couple of years back was a life-long Fulham fan, I am a Saints fan, my kids have a strong affinity for both clubs (Southampton first, obviously!) but they have a half and half scarf hanging in their bedroom.

Zaha got off on the wrong foot at Man U and never recovered. I heard that in his first week there, Van Gaal offered the squad a "day off", noting that there would be a training session, but attending wasn't mandatory. Every single squad member, (bar Zaha) turned up...

Baker has previous, I heard somewhere that he killed Bob Marley...

I am a big fan of debate, I love an eloquent and reasoned contretemps and I have been really engaged with the brexit process, but it is a sign of how the arguments have become so divisive and reductive, that I am now just waiting for remain to win the (inevitable) 2nd referendum, so I can go on...

Did we insert a sell-on clause when we sold Mane? https://www.francefootball.fr/news/Mercato-le-real-madrid-re-pense-a-sadio-mane-liverpool/1000075 You have to imagine that if Real did buy him, they'd be paying well in excess of £100 million. A slice of that would be nice...

That is an absolutely incredible and actually quite dangerous challenge. When completing an Ironman, an athlete will burn around 8000 calories (a normal adult male should take on 2,500 per day) Franny will have to find a way to take on enough calories whilst working out for 14 hours per day...

I think they're right and we will end up on 36 points.

I always felt sorry for Billy Sharp, I don't think he got the recognition that he deserved for the very specific role that he played for us, our signing of him was a mercenary act, we needed an additional striker to help us through the second half of our championship promotion season and he was...

A forward that doesn't score, but that creates chances for others who do, is well worth their place in the team, this is because goals win games. Shane Long's usefulness to the team is predicated by the ability of those around him to benefit from the spaces he creates. If we don't have players...

As Mark Twain is often (mis)quoted as having said "comedy is tragedy plus time", but doing this sort of thing on the same day as a minutes silence, shows these two up as idiots of the highest order. It is incredibly insensitive and embarrassing for the club, they should be banned from St Marys...

Even with a dreadful injury record, £20m for Ings is still a good deal in today's market. In the last transfer window there was talk of someone willing to pay £75m for Bournemouth's Callum Wilson. Come the end of the season, are their goal scoring records going to be SO different that you'd pay...

Absolutely, in fact, people often entrench themselves in this position with a sense perceptive superiority, because they "have seen something in a player that others are not good enough judges to have picked up on".

The hardest part of changing your mind is admitting that the beliefs you held true, were wrong, politics, religion, football, once a person has made up their mind about a subject, for example; a particular footballer not being good enough, the prism through which they view them, affects their...

In the words of a former Southampton great "control the controllables".

We are only 2 points above them because Ralph didn't arrive til December, with his average points per game, we'd be top 7 or 8 if he'd been here at the start of the season. In Ralph we trust.
