Southampton Confirm Adam Armstrong Departure
at 15:13 4 Feb 2026

Don't forget that we lost 2 'Strikers' this window - with D Downs going to Hamburg on loan. (Yes not much of a striker, but was still 'an option').

That means that Larin is replacing both Arma and Downs for the next 4 months.

I'm sure the club are making massive savings on wages, so hopefully the newbie hits the ground running and can notch a few times. I think he will need to train quite hard before getting pitch time, as wearing that baggy yellow training top doesn't hide the extra ballast he is carrying that well !! :-)

It could well have been Sound Affects by The Jam and it is still in my loft !!

I also remember taping / recording The Clash, Joy Division and Blondie around the same time and wanting to play them in my parents' car, but they were having none of it, preferring Supertramp’s - Breakfast in America !!

No, he's supposed to be a winger or wide midfielder

....but of late he's mostly been an unused or ineffective sub

Skates fans lobbing coins yet again
at 14:12 2 Feb 2026

They seem to have gotten away with an awful lot.....

Punching the Police horse
Fan punching that Sunderland player a few seasons back
Throwing a firework into the Sunderland fans at Stadium of Light
Countless spitting at players
Countless coin / object throwing incidents
Flashbang / fireworks

Something really needs to be done about it - this season !!

I think my first 45 was Rat Trap by Boomtown Rats

33 - no idea. At the time, I was more of a cassette man, as I could play them in my bedroom, as opposed to the record player in the lounge !!

So what do we think about Peretz?
at 13:42 2 Feb 2026

As a team, we have a massive issue with defending corners.

I thought with a new Keeper, things may change, but alas, so far, no. The new Keeper is still part of this issue, with often poor positioning and not being able to command his 6 yard box. When I saw the error against Doncaster in the FA Cup, the free header against Hull that he came for and missed and perhaps the scrambled hand of cod against the Skates, I have at times wondered why we signed him. To be fair though, he is slowly getting used to working in our team and certainly seems to organise the defence a bit more than past keepers and he has pulled off some top saves.

Baz has 3 top saves this season that spring to mind (others may remember more) - Wrexham and Millwall H + A. Peretz has 2 so far, both v Stoke

Let's see what happens between now and the end of the season, but for me so far, he is slightly ahead of Baz, but I expect him to move further ahead as the season progresses.

Stoke Game Match Day Thread
at 13:09 2 Feb 2026

First away league clean sheet in absolutely ages - last one was Fulham away in the Prem last season by all accounts !!

We bossed it today and fully deserved the win.
Stoke were awful, but we didn't let them play, so credit goes to us.

There were still the same mistakes, mis-passes and needlessly giving the ball away, but we weren't punished today and when we did give it away, there was extra effort to get the ball back - which has been missing of late.

The only worrying thing was that I don't think we had a single shot, once Leo and Stewart went off. The youngster up front look a little lost when he came on, but understandable I guess. He will need to improve if Arch and Arma are sold and we don't get a replacement in.

A decent turn out of around 2.4k which is great for a game that distance and an early kick off and it was great to hear the constant singing - unlike the Stoke fans. (See what a decent performance can do to the fans !!)
We are Southampton, We sing on our own !!

What's happened to Edozie
at 16:34 28 Jan 2026

He's been injured for ages, so I can only presume he is not being rushed back. Unlike Aribo and a few others, He still has 18 months left on his contract I believe.

It looks distinctly like we are spending months and months and thousands and thousands on getting him back up to match fitness in time to show him the door / sell him on / loan him out, like we have done with so many others over the years.

5 Things About The Trip To Pompey
at 13:48 28 Jan 2026

Read social media - There is plenty about the flash bang, your lot throwing it and the resulting affects.

Seems you've got previous in this area, having thrown a firework into the Sunderland fans at the Stadium of Light. Hopefully the FA will take that into account when deciding the punishment.

As for the toilets, Westwood surpasses everything. At an England match at St Marys, he was arrested for exposing himself in public and for peeing over seats. WAC.

Scienze injury
at 16:17 27 Jan 2026

I think there is potentially an issue or a weakness there, which would explain (much to many fans' disgust) why he often gets subbed around the 60-70 minute mark.

Best to have him for an hour, than to not have him at all.
A few others need to start stepping up though !!

Arma has missed a couple of penalties as well

Sheff Utd away didn't affect the result

Norwich away did though. Goals change games - Score first and the game is completely different.

Perhaps he should start using his hands or arms to score with. We've had a few dodgy ones against us, costing us points, so as things are supposed to even themselves out over the course of the season.....

Norwich away - winner was hand ball
Pompey away - equaliser was 'Hand Of Cod' !!

Our finishing has been piss poor of late - with pretty much everyone being guilty.

Arma is expected to score more than Leo, as he is a striker and will get more chances, but Leo isn't that prolific.

Even if we look at the Sheffield United game, Leo should have done much better with a couple of shots that weren't even on target and that free header in the 2nd half was a guilt edged chance that he some how put straight at the keeper. Luckily his goal got a crucial deflection !!

Fellows needs a goal big time. He cuts inside and hits it with his left foot so often, you'd think one would go in, but no, everything is usually high and wide and rarely tests the keeper. He had 4 or 5 good chances v Sheff Utd.

Azaz was on that 6 goals and some assists in 7 appearances, or whatever it was, but his form has dried up, yet still manages to get 80 minutes every game before he is eventually subbed.

Hopefully things improve at Stoke on Saturday.

I'm sure they have insurance that covers such circumstances, so perhaps they are more concerned with trying to get another keeper in on loan.

I read somewhere that he has done his ACL in training

They will help him recover as they loaned him, but would like to return him to free up wages and a loan place.

Who Is The Worst Signing Saints Have Ever Made
at 11:53 17 Jan 2026

Agreed and I would add that

Damian Downs is much worse than Ali Dia.

At least Dia was enthusiastic, looked interested and actually wanted the ball. He was just lacking a little in the ability department.

Downs cost £8m and doesn't look like a footballer in any way. He is very lazy, doesn't run. can't control the ball, can't pass, can't lay it off, head or chest it. His team mates don't pass to him either, because he is so shit. Oh and he looks like he doesn't want to be here - so much so that he fvcked off back to Germany without a single goal in all his appearances.

Actual goals.....

1. Possibly offside, but straight through Baz from a narrow angle - should have saved it
2. Manning done by a long ball. Baz showed too much of his goal, got his angles wrong and although it was close to him, he dived late, but really should have saved it.
3. A Manning deflection presented an unmarked Boro player with a tap in - Baz had no chance
4. Baz parried the first shot straight to the Boro player, who followed up to score easily.

Goals change games. We could have been 2 up. We didn't take our chances. Boro did with a lot of Baz Aid.

Where is this supposedly incoming German 'keeper ?
Or get Rambo back, now Pope has been reinstated as first choice.

We've done rather well without him, so no rush.
