I don't support a PL club but Southampton are, by a distance, my favourite club as a neutral. You're definitely the best team at operating a 'moneyball' setup. With apologies to Tighty I think, overall, if clubs followed the Southampton model they'd have more success in the long term than trying to build a team in the Leicester mould (one that plays like them, rather than off the field stuff). Really hope The Saints have another great season. why would our style of play not be sustainable? not sure what you are getting at, off the field we've had tremendous success at value for money in the transfer market, tactically we have round pegs in round holes, superb team spirit nothing against Suthampton who have done remarkably to rebuild each off-season

First away game of the season is United which has been moved to Friday night for TV.
Virgin Media (sponsors) have subsidised tickets so it's £20 for adults and free coach travel too. Fantastic stuff.

Have never seen him play personally but his name always pops up on other forums/twitter about who the most promising young players are. Great signing for Southampton if the hype is to be believed.

Not good news for anyone with a plethora of Nathan Redmond bets, like me!

One word of warning on Boufal is that he is recovering from a serious injury. Doubt he'll be match fit till mid October.

More importantly Fonte signing an improved contract for £75k from £45K is a boost with all the talk going round about him
still for the 2 years but puts him on the same sort of deal as the highest earners at the club or about the same as a bench warmer at man u

Brilliant draw with away trips to Milan, Prague and Israel. Going to try for tickets dependent on dates. Very excited.
