Price of kits these days, FFS. Canāt afford the shorts.
I really hope that no-one dreams up a chant about this for home games. And i really hope it doesnāt include references to fans knocking one out over his bird from her time in Nuts magazine or anything like that. That would be wrong, FFS.

I missed the Friends Prov logo
Those were happy days - they had corporate tickets to entertain their corporate client advisers but hardly anyone apart from me was a Saints fan. Buy a season ticket with the great unwashed or corporate hostility? - no argument

19. Southampton - Saints style causing struggle
Three games in and three defeats show that Southampton are currently struggling to adapt to being back in the top flight.
Russell Martin is known for playing an attractive, possession-orientated style of football and he is determined to stick to his principals, despite the poor results so far.
Burnley tried the same last season but ultimately went down, and with just one goal scored so far in their three league games, Martin will know things need to improve quickly.
Three new faces on deadline day brought their total summer signings to 14. That gives Martin plenty of options to choose from but may mean it will take time before he settles on a preferred starting XI.
Canāt really argue with thatā¦Martin has got to stop being a nice guy as well and stop worrying about upsetting the players, he canāt be a mate to everyone.

Canāt argue with that at all, tbh. What surprises me slightly is that heās only fourth favourite to be next PL manager sacked, behind Ten Hag, Maresca and Dyche. But I fully expect us to be looking for a new manager in the New Year.
I hope not. He needs a full season in the PL, even if we go down. The way he corralled the club into a united group and got promotion was a fine achievement. I also hope that the fickle fans donāt turn against him, although that is rather unlikely.
Heās got a lot of credit in the bank because of the way he got us promoted, but if we persist in handing the ball to the worldās sharpest attackers in our own area and consequently have to chase every match from a goal down, itās going to test the patience of the most avid of supporters.
Which is why he needs a full season to learn from. Iām sure he will not want to lose games as much as any fan will. If he is sacked by Xmas, there will not be a big choice of top managers to choose from and iām sure the players will think ānot this shit againā. Sacking managers mid season hasnāt worked out that well for us recently.

I donāt disagree one little bit. I also thought Nigel was badly treated after promotion, although Poch was obviously something of a masterstroke. But what Iād like to happen and what I think is going to happen are two different things, and if I had @PhilippineSaint 's penchant for betting Iād have a tenner on Dyche sacked by Everton, RM sacked by us, and Dyche here by January.
