    Blackmore and Merrington, whose side are they on??!!

    I don't doubt that :D Just saying what I would prefer given the option. I agree Jonathan Pierce is a great commentator, would love to see LKO back.

    Football Manager 2012

    CM 01/02 is the perfect game...none of this team talk b*ll*cks. And whats more you can download it free and they are still doing transfer updates for it. I'm currently managing Saints with the original database just coming into the 2015 season.

    Blackmore and Merrington, whose side are they on??!!

    I think they're absolutely brilliant. I would much rather listen to Merrington's enthusiasm, which sometimes means he gets a few details wrong than some boring commentator who gets every name correct in monotone. Just for information I listened to the baggies player for the pre season friendly...

    Article: Jos Hooiveld Stats | Football, Southampton

    The bottom line is we needed a left footed CB to increase the depth of the squad in that area, and we now have one until January when the window re-opens. NC is clearly not willing to pay over the odds for a player just because the fans want a big name signing. I'm glad he's waiting til January...

    What can we moan about today?

    I put bets on with two of my mates back in July, one is a Villa fan who bet £50 that Villa would be higher than Saints in their respective leagues, the other is a burnley fan who reckoned Burnley would finish above Saints and also staked £50 on it. Its going be downright embarrasing having...

    Puncheon - Any way back?

    It would be a step backwards for the squad to let him back in as far as I'm concerned. Our dressing room spirit is what sets us apart from many other clubs from what I've seen from player interviews. No individual is worth risking that.

    Leicester City v Southampton - Match Thread

    Saints are already well into their season and most of our midfield and strike force are already off the mark. Two away wins out of two as well. The whole sqaud should be rested up from last Saturday as well. Leicester have the pressure of expection upon them and have yet to pick up a home win...

    I think that makes him your first cousin, once removed :)

    Family rivalry

    My Girlfriend supports Wigan, but she's slowly being converted. I was also gutted when they stayed up!! I've told her she can support Wigan rugby league and Southampton football if she wants to stay with me :D She text me for the first time on Saturday asking if Saints managed to hold on to...

    Saints v Millwall

    This has 3-1 written all over it, standard saints scoreline, would be really good to keep a clean sheet this time though. Scorers: Connolly, Lambert and Lallana probably in that order.

    What a ride, what a story

    Great article! Enduring the lows makes the highs that much more special!

    According to PaddyPower we are now more likely to win the Championship than Leicester

    The market clearly thinks we're looking good right now! Can't argue with that :)....but I think anyone getting in at 6/1 has missed the boat really - even 10/1 looked expensive.
