Does The M27 Derby Mean As Much To the Players As The Fans
at 12:19:21

A very good post that enhances the article and what you say is true, but the Docks Strike that seems to fuel the modern day hatred of all things Southampton is claimed to be in the 1890's which is a myth in that it was Southampton dockers on strike and the Pompey dockworkers who arrived by train to work the port and were prevented from leaving the Docks Station by pickets

Everton Said To Have Reached Verbal Agreement With Southampton Over Dibling
at 22:49:16

I think the £42 million includes the £6 million add ons so £36 million down, plus the add ons and then there is the 20 % sell on clause

Who Could Stay Or Go At St Mary's In The Last two Weeks Of The Transfer Window
at 12:21:36

SaintMark, we will have to see what port republic do next, but better to wait until the window is closed before making bold predictions, now you may be able to say "I told you so" but if you cant as we have spent money then you will have egg on your face.

Sport republic have made many mistakes over the past few years, but one thing they have done is spend money, not always wisely but they have spent it.

Bowlercow, It always surprises me the faith that some Saints fans have in Ballard, given that his total playing time for Saints is 2 games in the Premier League as a sub totalling 24 minutes, 1 appearance in the FA Cup totalling 4 minutes and 1 - 15 minute sub appearance in the League cup where he scored a goal.

He has been out on loan last year but never really shone in League one.

At 20 he needs to be playing football, he isn't getting it here in the coming season, so out on loan, I hope it does come up to bite us, I wish him well

Southampton Go Into Championship Opening Weekend In Strong Position
at 18:08:07

Kingsland 34 it should be noted that Brooks & Rothwell were more fringe Premier League quality players than true Premier League class, hence they were loaned out to Saints in the Championship.

Rothwell has a grand total of 31 Premier League games to his name, only 15 of them in the starting line up and spent last season on loan with Leeds, now he is at Rangers

Another option would be to go to Southampton Central train station and then get a train to Southampton parkway and then a 15 -20 minute walk to the ground

Southampton And Trabzonspor Agree Fee For Onuachu. Sulemana Could Be Next
at 09:28:58

The quicker we can get players out the earlier that we can bring their replacements in, however Trabzonspor have a history of haggling on everything so I don't know how quickly this one will be done

Southampton Squad Should They Stay Or Should They Go ! Part 2
at 10:16:04

As I have said in the article, individually all 6 could cope in the Championship, it is hard to prioritise just who should leave and who should go, hence I have said keep 5, however ideally we would perhaps see 3 0r 4 leave.

Back To Reality For Saints On Wednesday But Sadly Nothing Has Changed
at 10:42:44

saintmark, you say I haven't criticised Sport Republic, two weeks ago I did a similar article, look back over the months and I have called SR to task on quite a few occasions, what I haven't done is slag them off for everything, only what I see as going wrong

Saints Johannes Spors Has Been Speaking To The Media Again
at 09:34:11

Dibling is on a wage based on him being a 17 year old with potential, Saints want to pay him what he is worth, if he runs down his contract then he will spend 2 years on that wage,

If he leaves at the end of it, as he is under 24 there will still be a development fee, so we would get something

Southampton Supporters Enjoy A Rare Happy Weekend
at 11:20:58

It wasnt really about rallying the troops, it was about pointing out just how many of our weekends have been ruined this season.

I tend to agree with you that, if they were going to do it before the end of the season, it would have been now.

Articles like this are about reminding our new Director of football just how low morale is in the fanbase, so it was more about rallying Johannes Spors

Southampton Have Ivan Juric Replacement Lined Up
at 11:26:53

The hope is that the one time that we had a Director of Football making the decisions since Sport Republic arrived, Jason Wilcox appointed Russell Martin who got the job done in the Championship..

Now we have Johannes Spors, so lets see if he can be decisive.

Are Things Far From Ok In The Southampton Camp ?
at 14:41:23

Farlow, statistically Adam Armstrong is the best striker we have on the books at present, of our strikers he has the most goals this season.

Last season he was the 2nd best striker in the Championship, only Sammy Szmodics scored more, on his ratio from last season he would be 2nd in the charts again if he kept that ratio

St Michael, lets be honest, at the games the fans have been behind him, I have not heard any abuse towards him either home or away, but the situation is a lot different here than at Forest, we are watching a team that is making constant errors due to overplaying, something has to change

Date Set For Southampton's Carabao Cup Trip To Everton
at 15:58:05

My first game at Goodison Park was Xmas 1974, I made the short trip on the bus from my Aunties house and watched them play Middlesbrough from the Gwladys Street end, they still had the Toffee lady throwing sweets, i remember the wall at the front of the terrace was about 5ft high, you could just about see above it.

My first Saints game there was in 78/79 season our first season back in the top flight and we drew 0-0

How To Open A Fanzone And Keep The Beer Queues Short - The Southampton Way
at 20:48:14

West Sussex Saint, I agree Saints are a business like any other, however as i said in the article it is about know your market and for that matter your competition.

It will do well initially as people take a look, but then as it gets colder, people will get fed up of drinking overpriced cooking lager in a tent in the middle of winter and go back to a pub 10 minutes up the road a lot warmer and a lot cheaper.
