Reply | Southampton Agree To Sell Central Defender On DEadline Day

Good riddance.
Larios permanent move to Real Zaragoza also confirmed according to the BBC text service at 13.30 today.
Players that never made any real impact off the payroll.
€5m not a huge amount for ABK but with his future (PL level?) wages gone as well it is better than him eventually going on a free transfer with us having paid God knows how much more to him as I’d be surprised if Hellas Verona were paying 100% of his wages whilst he was on load there.

Reply | New striker - Cyle Larin
at 17:16 1 Feb 2026
Been reading through this thread with increasing dismay.
Stopping to think for a minute, we have already shipped Downs out (no loss whatsoever), but it also looks like Archer is off to Rangers and AA is off to Wolves, so, surely this can’t be all we are getting in, can it??
OK, Larin for Downs, from what I have read above, donkey for donkey so to speak.
But what about replacements for Archer and AA then?
If SR don’t do something to properly replace them then IMO they are no longer fit to be running this Club, that’s if they ever were to be honest…
Absolute bunch of clowns, Parsons included. |

Totally agree Pat, a bum deal indeed. Apparently an extra £2m in add-ons, that’s if they ever get paid, but still not enough.
God only knows what we will get as a replacement given SR’s pathetic recruitment record overall. One report I read today says they have a replacement lined up that will be better suited to TE’s style of play.
Have to say, a clever bit of business by Wolves. They know, as indeed we do, AA will probably be as much use as a chocolate fire guard in terms of saving their season, they are already planning for next season and have got themselves a player capable of 20 goals a season in the Championship and he will be fully integrated into the set up and available from game No.1, not signing at 9pm on deadline day at the start of September. As I have said, a clever bit of business in what will be a much stronger division next season. [Post edited 1 Feb 16:26]

Reply | 5 things from Stoke
at 15:57 1 Feb 2026
We all owe the local Stoneham ‘NIMBY’ residents a huge debt of gratitude for kicking up such a fuss over the proposed new ground in the middle of nowhere. Had they not made such a fuss it is possible we would have been lumbered with a ground as far away from the centre of Southampton as Stoke and Derby combined, and probably Leicester added on top as well… |

What a pity we didn’t loan Dom Ballard to Leyton Orient instead of selling him to them for a pittance. Had we done so, as with Bree he could have been recalled having proved what a lot of us thought he was capable of, except the Gimberts running the Club of course… |

I would not trust SR to find a decent striker as far as I could bench press an elephant.
The point is we need an EXTRA decent quality proven striker to supplement what we already have not to replace what we already have.
If Arma goes and we are relying on SR to find a like-for-like standard replacement then we are totally 🤬ed. Totally… |

A mate of mine was waiting for a cab near Basingstoke station when someone hiding in a nearby hedge jumped him from behind and pulled him into the hedge where he passed out. When he came round he was lying on the pavement the other side of the hedge dressed in a blonde wig, huge false lashes, rouge, red lip gloss, a figure hugging red dress complete with false boobs and thigh length red boots with high heels, surrounded by police and paramedics. When he asked what had happened to him one of the police officers said “You’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards”

Reply | Actual attendance tonight EXCLUDING non-attending ST holders

I’d say Pat was closest, don’t think I have seen so many empty seats for a league game since we were last in League 1. Of course, the published attendance will be totally inaccurate as those thousands of absent ST holders will be included in the ‘official’ figure. |

Thread | Our Current Form
at 14:03 19 Jan 2026
We are now 23/24 in the current form table over the last 5 games with 2 points and a -6 goal difference. The only team worse off is Sheffield Wednesdays, and that is by the narrowest of margins: the same 2 points but a -7 GD.
Even over the last 10 games we are still 23/24 with 9 points.
There are 19 games left to play. Last season Luton were relegated with 49 points.
If we replicate our form from the last 5 games over the remaining 19 games we are getting nowhere near 49 points. If we replicate our form over the last 10 games we would just scrape it, that’s assuming the target to stay up this season isn’t higher than last year.
Worrying times when you take into consideration that the absolute clowns in charge of our ultimate destiny seem totally incapable of learning from their multitude of previous mistakes.

Superb post A1079. Sums up perfectly how I feel. As I have said on a couple of other posts the most worrying thing is not how far the SR reign has already dragged us down it is how much further SR will drag us down before we are rid of them.

Carthorse Carrillo for me 🫏 hence my ‘other player’ vote
Also a special mention for the Latvian Imants Bleidelis, a fellow member of the Carthorse Club. Amazingly, he made 106 International appearances, really not sure how… |

Thanks for that, a very interesting article. I didn’t realise half the PL Clubs were part of a MCO initiative. Ours must be pretty naff though as we are ‘top of the food chain’ (arguably as the Turkish Super Lig is a schmuck’s League as Pat calls it), but I have yet to see a single benefit to us from it. |

Are we all forgetting about our marvellous multi-club partnership? This sounds like another player that would be a perfect fit for one of our fellow spongers, sorry, clubs. We stump up the dosh and they naff off to Turkey the next day on loan. Wouldn’t be betond the realms of possibility surely?
Just a thought… |
