Jordy Clasie says that Southampton FC is becoming like a second family:

The country[side] is perfect, the club is lovely...

He's a quick learner. :)

Really glad to hear him say this, I think with a full preseason behind him, he could be great for us.
Not surprised he is liking the countryside, he and his wife are currently renting in Shawford, which is a beautiful little village just outside of Winchester.

Suggestion that Saints may be interested in Pellegrini should Koeman leave next season. They are right in the sense that we will have a list of possible replacements, but getting a bit ahead of themselves here. Koeman says he won't be leaving until his contract is over....I trust him, but it is always possible that Saints themselves may like to sign a good manager who becomes available in order to ensure stability. My point being that things happen and nothing is certain in life. However, the one thing I am certain about is that we are in safe hands.

P.s. I like the fact that they refer to Koeman joining a 'so-called bigger club'..........I like the idea that it is now questionable that a club is bigger than us. :)
 
A large number of players will be playing in the Euros as well so won't really have a proper break over the summer. I agree with Black that 3 extra matches at the beginning of the season isn't the best; let's concentrate on the Premier League, increase the squad and have fun!

Two legs remember. So that's 6 extra games.

Interesting interview with McMenemy about his career and cup win. Sorry to hear that he feels badly done by at Saints. :(

Should be universally remembered with fondness. But some supporters placed too much emphasis on the manner of his leaving to manage in the North, where he achieved very little, as if that is still a stick to beat him with. He left Saints because he'd been the most ambitious person at the club for years and was finally fed up with having to make do with the crumbs of back up he received from the board. Who else could possibly assemble this squad on a shoestring?

Who's standing in front of Mick Channon? Face doesn't ring a bell at all.
