Thread | The Human League
by SaintNick at 21:05 6 Jan 2026
Not a lot of people know this, but Phil Oakey, lead singer in the Human League had a sister who was also a very accomplished but underrated singer.
Her name was 'Carrie'. She never really fulfilled her potential as she couldn't remember all the lyrics. |

Not posted for ages... too long. NO-ONE has cornered Eckert and got answers to the obvious. (a) Have you intentionally changed the system? (b) Why? (c) Will you change it back? (d) Are you under pressure to play a certain way? |

Thread | Striker leaving West Ham
by dixiefrog at 15:36 6 Jan 2026
I read on BBC Sport that Callum Wilson is in discussion with West Ham to terminate his contract, I appreciate at 33 he doesn’t fit the Banana Republic player model, but as we’re desperate for a striker, would he be worth a punt? |

Thread | Multi Club system tosh
by andoverpierre at 15:01 6 Jan 2026
Why are we being fed this multi club system by the owners when its clear we are the cash cow for all the others .
for instance we needed a big strong centre fwd 6' 4" 24 years old (Goztepe) had a brazillian guy called Romulo and sold him to RBL instead of us he is scoring goals in the bundesleague and looks quality . Instead we got D Downes and sick note (loch ness drogba) |

Thread | Peretz in - Damion Downs out...
by 1885_SFC at 13:10 6 Jan 2026
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Daniel Peretz is on his way to England to undergo a medical at Saints.
Meanwhile, flop Damion Downs is heading for Hamburg... sadly only on loan.
Fingers crossed we acquire a couple of decent players in the coming days. I won't hold my breath... |

Thread | Ever Ponder What Dragan Solak Actually Thinks About ?
by HytheFerrytales at 09:24 6 Jan 2026
IF...IF...he is a bona fide "billionaire multi-media tycoon" and the 2nd richest crook in Serbia, WTF is he actually up to faffing around in SFC (apart from destroying the fabric of a pretty special football club).
Ratcliffe or Boehly he ain't. Moths appear when he opens his wallet.
As far as I can see, he presides over a poor team of execs operating a business plan that aims to produce a couple of modestly profitable player sales per year. Up to half of that profit is then pi55ed up the wall on cheap managers/coaches ,one legged strikers, no-armed goalkeepers and pre-match jollities.
Why does he do it?..it can't be for money cos we don't seem to make any..is he an idiot narcissist ?..is it some elaborate money laundering scheme ?..or a fiendishly clever Serbian tax write off?....maybe shitting in other peoples sandpit is a popular Serbian sport.
He is sitting on a depreciating asset that, right now, he couldn't even sell to a fellow Serbian quarter-wit.
Onwards and downwards....

Thread | Culture problem at the Club
by PatfromPoole at 20:41 5 Jan 2026
Really interesting Twitter thread from Alfie House at the Echo.
Judging by his various comments on this thread, there seems to be a real culture problem with a number of the more established pros.
Disturbing if true.

Thread | It's clear
by saint_04 at 20:20 5 Jan 2026
This club has accepted mediocrity.
We aren’t going up this season and it’s starting to feel like the club are fine with that.
Too many “maybe Championship-quality” players.
Too many projects.
No spine. No leaders. No standards.
If the club actually wants to progress, we need:
An inspirational captain, a true leader who grabs the game and players by the scruff of the neck - should be the first name on the team sheet
A dominant, authorative, presence of a goalkeeper
Commanding body on the line centre-backs, not shirkers with stinking attitudes
Centre midfielders who control and dominate going forwards & backwards
And a solid out and out dominant striker who scores goals, holds the ball up getting us up the pitch & brings others into play
As a fan, I wouldn't be so bothered if the players aren't quite good enough but gave it 100% game in game out but we don't see that. Where's the captain demanding & driving these standards? |

Its on ITV4 catch up -Saints beat Fulham 4-1 . Fulham had Moore, Best and Marsh. Best gets sent off . The Fulham manager was on nearly crying due to the violent language the Saints players used.
Interestingly the main Match was Brighton V Palace a div 3 game |

Thread | Merry go Round of Managers / Coaches

What a start to the New year.
Amorin sacked at Man U.
Nancy sacked at Celtic.
This Merry Go Round of Managers / Coaches is becoming farcical.
Any bets on who'll be the Next one to go.
I reckon West Ham will sack Nuno this week. |

Thread | Head Coach vs Manager
by Southamptonfan at 14:03 5 Jan 2026
https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/ne
So Man U have sacked their "Head Coach" after a break down in relationship with Jason Wilcox.
I have no interest in Man U, other than looking on as a neutral at how they keep failing for the size they are.
The ex manager said "I came here to be the manager of Manchester United, not to be the coach of Manchester United. That is clear,” he said on Sunday.
The link to Saints is clearly Wilcox and these people in the board room keep f@cking interfering and telling them manager what to do. It's only people like Still and Eckert who accept this, hence never appointing anyone (with experience who knows bettwr) who will argue. |

But only if you travelled up with the official coaches!!! I wondered why the Saijys official travel charged £3 more than Hull away.
If you went with Nicks away travel, by train or by car, sorry nothing for you. Just for those who paid money to the club. The utter b@staads. |

Thread | Multi Club Ownership
by kingslandstand1 at 18:46 4 Jan 2026
We all agree that SR have totally fkd up our club, primarily with recruitment as I don't think there are many now on the playing or coaching or senior management teams that were here when they took over, but is this down to the fact that we are just one of three clubs on their books
As long as they are making a few bob out of the odd decent transfer and the fun fair rides on the side they are happy with that. They have no real sense of feeling or the club or supporters or dare I use the word passion that most on this site at least have as they have no affiliation for the club, and have probably never even heard of Ted Bates fori nstance!
Would their attitude and nuance towards us be different if we were the only club on their books?
Should the FA be looking at multi-club ownership when assessing being fit and proper ownership or is this just sour grapes |
