The Otter Core we need

Based on minutes played, Bednarek and ABK are gone, and Sugawara and Aribo are probable leavers. We have too many centres halves, so I see 1+ leaving (maybe THB). After that, if we get a decent offer for the likes of Adam A, BBD, etc, they'll be off. Hope that we can keep Fernandes & Ramsdale

Sometimes, people overstate Fernandes' performances. For an attacking player, his goal/assist contributions are low. However, he is only 20, playing in a new league and country and for a bloody awful team yet has demonstrated great technical ability & attitude. I would rather keep than Dibling.

John Crace: What the hell just happened? From the ingeniously quick-witted John Crace comes a satirical memoir from the eyes of his beloved dog, Herbie. And as a Westminster veteran, boy does he…

Calling Southampton. Last few tickets for my show at the Hedge End Theatre on March 28th. Please do come

Great photos 😀

If you are thinking about boycotting America companies, here are some for your consideration.

He has wonderful technical ability, is a solid passer, and I love his ability to keep possession when under pressure, never gives up and runs until the end. Hard to believe that he is only 20. I'd like to see him increase his number of goals and assists in the Championship next year with Saints.

This man earned his place in this pack of wolves by respect and love. And food. He used food. lol 😂 the cubs are so stinking cute. 🥰

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better.

RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

I ditched the other place a few months ago and am glad that I did. It still hasn't the same volume as X, but growing every week. Give it a go !

While I agree that the players are limited, the issue does go deeper than that. On Saturday, I witnessed a side that was totally lacking in confidence and seemed to give up once the 2nd goal went in. Confidence and team morale can overcome some individual deficiencies, but that is sadly lacking.

We're down. Decide who we want to keep for next season and get rid of as many as we don't want in January. I'd even take a loan fee for KWP and use it towards the transfer market in the summer. We need to be realistic and ruthless.

Weirdly optimistic. At least until the teams come out in 7 minutes.

Like/RP if you are happy this dangerous criminal 'Tommy Robinson' is safely in jail.

I was underwhelmed by the prospect of Danny Rohl being recruited to replace Russell Martin at #saintsfc as he has yet to achieve very much in his short managerial career. However, every Sheffield Wednesday fan seems to speak VERY highly of his abilities and his longer term potential. Could be OK!

Beating Derby's miserable 11 point total might be a more realistic target.

Ché Adams golazo

I fundamentally disagree with the comment that there is 'no right or wrong'. We have the worst ever number of points at this stage in the Premiership. Trends like that can not be ignored; something is very wrong. It is either stupidity or arrogance to suggest otherwise.

It was a very negative description of the game, which fully aligns with my own. When Liverpool played as St Mary's a few weeks ago, it was really noticeable how many crosses they got into the box. Contrast that with our half hearted attempts to get an equaliser in the 2nd half.

I went to the match yesterday with two friends who happen to be Chelsea fans. They shrieked every time we did our suicidal passing at the back, they just couldn't believe what we were doing. I did try to explain that nowadays Saints fans have the same reaction.

I think it was the great philosopher Woody who described Buzz Lightyear as "falling with style". I guess that's what we are doing at the moment. I'm still not convinced that our team is as bad as our results and that Russell isn't just a mediocre Manager with a trendy gimmick. Time will tell. .

While I intend to stay here permanently, I do find it a little dull in comparison to Twitter. It feels a little straight-laced and lacking in irreverent humour that was on the other platform. Hopefully, that will change as more people migrate.

Isn't the real issue that this mechanism for pardoning individuals by the President is out dated and will lead to favouritism whoever is leading the country ? The real answer is to remove this privilege and let the courts decide who should be let free or otherwise.

I don't rate him, but I'd be surprised if RM didn't play Wood in one of the centre half positions. He has fallen out with ABK (& probably Charlie Taylor too) and doesn't seem to favour Edwards, so I can see him going for Wood. But as you say, trying to pick a team is mental .....

I think that you're really only indulging in wishful thinking. I don't see any genuine uprising in the Labour party and with such a huge majority he can withstand any vote of confidence over the next 4+ years. He'll be here until 2029.

I'm just not convinced that he is a good Manager. He underwhelmed at MK Dons, Swansea and to a degree last season. His main "selling point" is that he has a very strong philosophy - I personally think that it is overrated, but not sure Sports Republic do (at least not yet)

Money talks. If we wanted a short term experienced option, we could offer him a huge staying up bonus (e.g. £5m) and I don't think that it would hurt his stock whatever happened. He can hardly do worse than we are at the moment. Cant see Sports Republic doing it though .

It's more about managing expectations. I anticipate two outcomes, a brave effort and we lose by a single goal. Or liverpool score early and then play it as an exhibition match and score a few more.

However, I've been watching footy long enough to know miracles can happen (just not very often).
