Tonda confirmed as Head Coach.
at 11:27 6 Dec 2025

Think positive.
What happens if we win both those games, I'm sure we will then start to believe in Tonda.
Let's not write him off, he can only work with what he's got but I personally have good vibes about him, you get lucky managers & I think he's one of them.

It was never in doubt really.
It's SR's way.
Now we must give him a chance but it won't be easy for him.

Just watched the World Cup Draw. How embarrassing
at 19:13 5 Dec 2025

Cannot believe how chaotic the draw was for the World Cup.
It was like a Christmas Pantomime.
If that's the best the Americans can do then can't imagine what the competition is going to be like.
Closed by a Tribute to The Village People.
At least it made me laugh.

Southampton On Verge Of Managerial Appointment
at 16:19 5 Dec 2025

Picking up on your point " that TE has no experience of running a club beyond picking the team".
The team Manager/ Coach does not run the club so doesn't need that experience.
His role is get the players he's given fit, coach them & pick the match day team then win football matches.
It's early days for TE but so far he has passed those tests, thats why I think the job is his if he wants it.
The problem he may have is dealing with players with big ego's & larger salaries than he has.

All very well saying that TE isn't the right person for the job.
I agree that he has an awful lot to prove but what are the alternatives.
I personally can't think of anyone that's any good that is available that would be any better than TE.
Carrick = No
Gerrard = No
O'Neil = No
Martin = No

Is Formula 1 bent?
at 06:37 3 Dec 2025

And it's NOT a Sport.
Any event that can be won or lost by a pit stop is crazy.
It's not a test of Driver skills.
A combination of any so called Sport & gambling will breed corruption.
How many on this forum are interested in Formula one, NOT many I bet.
( there you go, it's even got me gambling).

What was Bazunu doing for their winning goal ?
at 13:15 1 Dec 2025

Baz makes simple saves look spectacular but can't deal with anything that's a bit more difficult.
He is so easily beaten from distance & is not commanding enough or brave enough to deal with corners & ball into the box.
Goalkeeping is a real problem for us because neither Macca or Baz are good enough but of the two Macca is the better.

I know most on this forum will disagree with me but I think Macca is a much better keeper than Baz.
Not saying that Macca is great, but he's much calmer than Baz & I am sure the defence feel more comfortable with him behind them.
Put yourself in our defenders position & which one would you prefer to have behind you.
We can no longer protect Baz by saying he's still young & will get better but he's now very experienced & has not improved, he's just not commanding enough in the box.
He & Slack Jack together are the two main reasons that we revert back to tippy tippy playing across the back.
When we got promoted two seasons ago it was mainly because Baz was out injured & Macca played last few games including the play offs.
I'm convinced we would not have won the play offs with Baz in goal ( but we'll never know).

No Leo

Yes Flynn Downes serving 1 match suspension after his booking on Tuesday.
I'm a bit surprised he risking Cam Bragg at the Lions Den, that will be a big challenge for him but he deserves that after his impressive debut.
But with Oriel on the bench, he'll come on late in game to see the game out.
But we really are going to miss Leo, he's been a stand out for us & completely changed the way we play.

Damion Downes apparently got injured in his 15 minute cameo on Tuesday.
HOW ?.
Putting his boots on.

Quarshie in for Stephen's, I think Slack Jack had a slight hammy pull on Saturday,
I did notice him holding the back of his leg a couple of times.
Downes back in for Bragg, he was left out on Saturday because he was on 4 Yellow cards & didn't want to risk him getting suspended for this game.

Solak attempting to acquire another club to join his multi club franchise.
at 12:38 24 Nov 2025

If the rumours are true that SR are attempting to buy another club to increase the number of clubs under their ownership to 5.
This should not be allowed it is not a good model for pro football.
It might work if you apply this group ownership to pubs / Shops etc but it's is not good for football.
Our club definitely would not benefit from it.

If Southampton Appoint Eckert Backroom Recruitment Will Be Essential
at 10:05 24 Nov 2025

Perhaps Lallana thinks that he's better qualified to take over the first team before Tonda & has had his nose put out of joint & made it clear that he doesn't want to be his sidekick.
Not fact, just supposing.

MIllwall Have Injury & Suspension Problems
at 08:29 24 Nov 2025

Our track record against Leicester in recent years is dreadful.
Including the forgettable 9- 0 drubbing.
But they no longer have the menace of Jamie Vardy, we could never cope with him.
Leicester aren't that great this season so it's a good opportunity for us.
At least we'll go into the game full of confidence.
I am now looking forward to our next game instead of fearing the worst every week.

Flynn Downes is just one Yellow Card away from suspension.
at 16:31 23 Nov 2025

Downes is a Yelow Card waiting to happen.
He commits so many needless fouls.
He's also guilty of dissent which results in Yellow cards.

Flynn Downes is on 4 yellow cards, could that be why he was benched against Charlton.
If that's the case then he'll be back in against Leicester on Tuesday.
That would be a bit tough on young Cam Bragg because he was excellent in his debut on Saturday.
