The mutants lose as well, superb.
So we’ll be second on MOTD then.
Table is likely to end up now as:
Chelsea
Man City
Tottenham
Arsenal
Liverpool
Man Utd
Everton
Us
The rest.
Sunderland guaranteed to be mile behind everyone else.
Fortunately I cannot see anyone coming in for Gabbiadini as he doesn’t fit any of the big teams’ style and the rest aren’t good enough for him. Next season’s looking good as the likes of Stephens develop too.
Off to find a garden to garden.

They’ll be all over Gabba this summer, watch.
You telling me Liverpool couldn’t do with him?

Fair play to the Black Box for finding him.
You don’t get too many of those available in the January window.

Made hard work of that but 4 goals and 3 points away from home isnt too shabby. We look so good going foward but really miss VVD and Fonte at the back.

To be fair, there was a lot sloppy play in the midfield in that second half with Romeu and Davis guilty of losing the ball in dangerous positions. But yes, we miss VVD (not the other one)

Caption and picture from Sky… This photo aptly shows how Gabbiadini absolutely burned Britos for pace earlier in the half.

They put the 48K upgrade in, got a burn printer to formalise the requests and a fleet of C5’s to deliver offers to the other clubs.
You’d imagine this to be inefficient, but with the state of the M27 these days…

Just looked at the table… big win that one. Top half. Can’t argue with that shit.

I don’t want to live in a world where we are even contemplating talking about selling/losing a player after 4 fucking games and 5 weeks in to a 4 year contract. Absolutely fucking mental.
That said… yeah, the Scouse wankers will be sniffing. Ha

One thing I do agree with @burp on is that next season could be looking good. We’re lacking ability on certain parts of the pitch, and if reports about Frase are to be believed, possibly fitness as well.
Caceres is quality on the pitch, a bit of a liability off it. Juve shipped him after a string of incidents, the final one involving crashing his car into a bus stop. One can only ponder at his decision making skills on the dicey roads of Southampton and the surrounding area. I fear for him hillstarting on Athelstan Road 
Typical Saints gamble.
I don’t think VVD will be a diminished player on his return. He’ll just know that Vardy is a dirty fucking rat, and to twat the bastard regardless of disciplinary outcome.
This season has also seen Yoshi improve. He’s playing well and down to about 0.75 thoughtless backpasses a game!
Get Boufal and Gabba working together, and the rest properly fit, and that is a quality side. Jay Rod’s gone at the end of the season, imo.

Has Les opened contract negotiations with Gabbiadini yet?
No?
Les out.

It’s a calculation even their transfer board can come up with.
Sturridge can’t score, Gabbiadini isn’t stopping. Fair play to them on Mane. They didn’t take the piss, and 35M looks about the right money for all parties concerned. They were twats during the Brendan-era, and I wouldn’t put it past them to be underhanded about things again.
Even if they play the media, Klopp gets to say “I feel bad for Southampton, but Rodgers did worse. At least I didn’t end Rickie Lambert’s career to overpay for Lovren and Lallana.”
I would only loan JRod out…just in case of injuries…allow him game time to get properly fit.
CB…Semedo from Portugal…and Strong MF to work alongside Romeu…Slattery , Smallbone,O’Connor to make the step up to first team squad pr-season
I will move my season ticket closer to the pitch in order to improve the coaching/tactics and subs 
Other than that…WELL DONE YOU SAINTS

@old-ottery is by far the least like his forum persona I’ve ever known. That’s not a bad thing.
If he were true to emoji form, he’d be gesticulating like a Frenchman getting bad service at a Little Chef and guffawing at the end of every sentence. He does not do that
