Anybody read this with a real sense of dread? £110m loan to be paid back by next December. With relegation, that’s going to be extremely messy. The credit rating of the parent company (on whom the loan is secured) has also just been downgraded. If this were about another club, I would be...

So, I hope most of you on here know me well enough to understand that I'm neither in the "meltdown" camp nor am I in the "Firmly not allowed to criticise" camp. I would consider myself fairly well to analyse placed, having been to every game this season bar Newcastle and Sunderland and would...

Official confirmation of what we already know: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/11849284/Southampton-reluctant-to-do-transfer-business-with-Tottenham-after-patience-snaps-over-Victor-Wanyama.html

A quick comparison between this years squad and last year's squad. I've bolded the player I deem to be superior and would like to hear other people's thoughts/"final scores" Forster vs Forster Stekkers vs SKD SKD vs Gazza Fonte vs Fonte Maya vs Toby Bertrand vs Bertrand Cedric vs Clyne...

Guidetti has said this week that a cheeseburger would cost more than him. Which would you prefer and why? I'd take Guidetti over a Maccie D's but would probably edge towards a GBK if given the straight choice between the 2. Although rumour has it that his personality is cheesier than a burger...

From this season... Saw some corkers on the Hull thread so thought I'd see what yours are. I love the fact that we haven't conceded a pen this season - great kudos to our discipline and organisation there. Post'em up!

Is my understanding correct: 5th Place qualify automatically 6th place qualify this season due to Chelsea winning the Carling Cup If Liverpool and Arsenal compete for the FA Cup final, the team finishing 7th will qualify (assuming both of these teams finish in the top 6) Is that correct?

Assumed that this would be a no-brainer and that everyone would want 4th place but opinion on Saintsweb seems to be divided so thought it might be interesting to have a discussion here. Reasons why it's a no brainer for me: 1) Champions League would mean unbelievable excitement, never...

A half season of two halves is probably the understatement of the century! Sublime for the first couple of months and awful for the last month or so. Having been to most of the games this season, here's my attempt at a balanced view of what's changed and how to recover: 1) The squad is too...

Just thought it would be a good idea to vent frustration by rating the Arsenal players for their diving skills based on the following criteria: 1) Gracefulness 2) Volume of thud as they hit the ground 3) Ability to appeal for a freekick whilst in mid-air 4) Aggregated number of dives...

We know Tadic has 6 glorious assists (should have been 7 too but for Mané's ruling).... Who can name (without looking) the 8 other players to have 6 or more assists this season?

So what are ours? We know Jose and Lovren used to have a bromance going on and that seems to have been taken over by Cork and Bertrand but does anybody have any insight as to which players have particularly strong relationships with each other?

Great Jeremy Wilson article here. He seems to be very much the man with an in at SMS this year. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/11140340/.html

BBC did a poll yesterday on what the greatest sporting event is. So, how would you rank the following: Southampton league game Footie World Cup Rugby World Cup Ryder Cup Olympics Wimbledon Ashes For me it would be: 1) Soton 2) Olympics and Ryder cup 4) Rugby 5) Footie WC (so...

Definitely deserves its own thread! Are we expecting 2 in? Any out? Where will Falcao go? Will QPR snare Lennon and Sandro? What else is taking your interest? Not much work to be done today!

Let's look ahead and be positive. Assuming he does go, who do you want? My pick is Paco Jemez (10-1) with the vaourites being Mclaren and Laudrup. Yakin was also mentioned by Peach who's in at 8-1. So who do you want and why? The reason I want Jamez is because he's the most similar manager...

For anybody interested in this type of thing, Southampton lead the stats in the BPL and are currently 7th in Europe with an average of 58.5% per game. Trivia question, who can name the other 6 without looking them up? One of them is particularly rogue!

How do we think Roy will line them up tomorrow in what promises to be a tense and exciting night for all Sains fans. I think starting XI will be: Hart Johnson Cahill Jones Cole Henderson Wilshere Lallana Rooney Welbeck Sturridge Expect Shaw to come on 2nd half and Rodriguez to get...

We all know MoPo is the best manager of all time ever, but who's your favourite of the rest (preferably for a combination of managerial ability as well as likability) and why? 15 options, so I eliminated Solksjaer, Monk, Mel, Meulensteen, and Sherwood because I deemed them to be the least likely...

I actually thought Stoke played an absolute blinder on Saturday. At the time, I thought they were ordinary, unadventurous and untalented but thinking about the game, I thought they played the perfect set-up against us and Hughes has gone up greatly in my estimation. Here's why: 1) They...
