    Where will we finish?

    It's certainly been a half season of two halves. Will we maintain our current form and continue to rise up the table or will we hit another sticky patch and lose our momentum? We currently sit six points off 5th and seven above 18th. If Ings stays fit and the squad remains focused, could we pull...

    Arsenal win appeal against red card

    El Punchy who assaulted Cedric has won his appeal. Someone please explain. My piss is boiling at the double standards. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/mohamed-elneny-red-card-overturned-by-fa-after-arsenal-appeal-a3810686.html%3famp

    One word squad

    Ever since I moved to Glasgow in 1999 I have had the same local. Naturally my passion for Saints has rubbed off on quite a few of the other patrons and staff and therefore Saints chat is not exactly uncommon. When I walked in last week, one of the bar staff asked me "In a word, how would you...

    Fantasy Premier League

    I haven't seen anyone create a league for the official game yet so I have done so myself. The code to join is 448868-207148. Come on come all! http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ And if someone's already done it and I've missed it, please delete this (after you've sent me the code to join!).

    Morgan - My decision is made

    Looks like it's a CL club or nothing (at our discretion of course). http://www.thetottenhamway.com/2015/05/25/my-decision-is-made-morgan-schneiderlin-reveals-summer-transfer-plans/

    The Vulture Thread

    Whilst the players in the teams at the bottom of the league are no doubt fully focused on retaining their top flight status, I expect that their agents are preparing for the worst (or best in their case) and starting to put out the feelers to gauge interest in their clients from other clubs...

    Toothless

    So we've been struggling in the final third now for a wee while. That's about all that's wrong with our game and it's frustrating. So, a simple question for you: what would you do to shake things up? I think the big man needs a rest.

    Tables within the table

    I couldn't help but notice that we haven't yet seen one of those tables within tables that Sky often show to compare the fortunes of the teams at the top against one another. So, I've done one myself. It's just a games played and points tally rather than a detailed breakdown (someone with more...

    EPL Review - Southampton

    An interesting article that leans heavily towards tactical shopping. http://www.statsbomb.com/2014/08/epl-season-preview-2014-15-southampton/

    £100m then up for sale

    I should start by saying that this is only ITK by at least two degrees of separation. In other words, not ITK at all. However, I am informed that KL wanted £100m out of the club before putting it up for sale debt free. Of all the theories I've heard so far, this one seems to have the hallmark...

    RK Speaks

    http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/28052014-chairman-search-underway-1577665.aspx Ralph Krueger has revealed that the process of finding a new First Team Manager is already moving quickly, as Saints look to identify Mauricio Pochettino’s successor. There are many people interested in...

    So what if?

    Now I do not believe that any* (fingers crossed, legs crossed, arms crossed, toes crossed etc etc) of this will happen but let's just say that our worst fears are realised and: Poch toddles off to Spurs Shaw goes to Chelsea/Man Utd/Man City for >£30M Lallana goes to Liverpool for >£20M...

    MP saddened by cup fallout

    http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/pochettino-saddened-by-cup-fall-out-1372649.aspx I must say I totally agree. Maybe a few more do now that the dust has settled a bit.

    Yspoty

    Adnan Januzaj gets a nod but Luke and JWP do not. Ordinarily we may bemoan our unfashionable status but at present that would not be at all justified. Maybe someone is trying to let the lad know just how much "England" appreciates him because I can't see any other justification. Mind you, this...

    The Taylor Report

    Given that the evidence studied to arrive at the findings in the Taylor Report has now been irrefutably proven to have been doctored, is there not a legal precedent to ignore its recommendations and the subsequent regulations imposed on football clubs? Anyone with an IQ over 10 can see that the...

    A Case For The Defence?

    After three games last season, we had already shipped 47 of the 112 goals we would ultimately concede in what was our initialis hiatus horribilus of an opening 6 fixtures. Conversely, Robin van Persie had already bagged 14 of his final tally of 226 league goals for the season and Chelsea were...

    Osvaldo Chant

    I'm not usually a contributor to suggestions for chants and wouldn't start a new thread for it either unless I thought it was relevant. However, we've just signed a guy who (apparently) has a life size model of Mick Jagger in his home and plays in shinpads with the Stones' logo on them. I think...

    The Old Swinger

    "If I paid someone thousands of pounds every week to kick a football, I'd expect them to be able to do it with both feet" is a sentiment I've been boring my mates with for years. I understand that us mere mortals, not blessed with twinkles in all ten of our toes like Mr Messi will naturally have...

    Pompey out of administration
