Bright side; nobody will buy him (JRod) this summer

[The jiffle king]

Go to think that we will get 3 points on Saturday aganist Cardiff? They surely have to come out and try to get a result which should play into our hands. No J-Rod, but a chance for Gaston or Big Sam to make a mark.

Would be great to pass 50 points in the top flight which we have not done for years!

[Kitchski]

I'm willing big Sam on to make a splash at the end of this season. Don't hold out much hope with Gaston personally - he just doesn't look comfortable out there.

Plus I think he's carrying an ankle knock and is a big doubt for tomorrow's game, anyway..

[Kitchski]

When isn't he carrying a knock....

[SaintsPaul]

So glad we concentrated on the premier league.

How stupid of me to think that the FA Cup was a worthwhile competition to try and win !

[Kitchski]

I'll just leave this here:

[SS2.]

2014 / 2015 season ticket prices have been announced..



A small increase but by no means cheap - will seem especially expensive if Pochettino departs and any / all of Shaw, Chambers, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Lovren, Cork, etc follow him out of the door..

[SaintsPaul]

Nice list Kitchski.

I wonder how the richest team in League 1 and the richest team in the Championship managed back to back promotions ?

Baffling !!

Man Citeh were in League 1 in 98/99 and won the Prem in 11/12. So I suppose we still have plenty of time

Yup

[SaintsPaul]

Nice to see 2 of our players in the PFA nominations.
Shows how the club is developing.

Lee Mason really is useless, that was a blatant penalty for handball at the end. Also we desperately need to get a striker and an attacking midfield player in the summer.

[joema]

Sale of shaw, osvaldo should see a fair bit available to buy a few decent players.

Saw moyes was watching at villa.

[Kitchski]

Last game I'm going to on Saturday for the season. Not feeling confident! Two attacking teams meet head to head, only they've got more fire in their belly at the mo. I hope they get 4th, but not at our expense!

Can't see us scoring a goal at the moment! Without J-Rod we look completely out of ideas up front.

One of the things I noticed about JRod live that you don't see on the TV is how hard he works. It'll be the first game I've seen without him. I'm fearing you might be right!

Replacement if Pochettino leaves?

I assume they were watching Shaw! According to the Guardian they will pay £30m and £100k a week for him.

If he does leave I just hope most of that £30m goes into the transfer budget.

Must say, the pattern on Southampton's pitch looks smart today. Bit like they're sponsored by Burberry.
