Oh When The Saints Go Marching In - A Southampton Story

[Sam91]

Fine start to the season, unlucky about not getting anything from Bayern but keep it up, Sam!

Yeah, not upset though was expecting to get spanked

Thanks man glad you're enjoying it

Great going so far as usual - loving it loving it loving it

Teams in red and white stripes seem to be a key recipe for good stories!

Monthly Review


Another superb month really. Yes we did lose to Spurs but we were playing away and Douglas Costa who I had last year for my Saints side tore us apart. Fantastic wins over Bolton and Fulham though made it 6 points out of a possible 9 in the league this month!!

In the Champions League we put some points on the board with two big wins over Tel-Aviv and Dynamo. Tel-Aviv were swept aside with ease thanks to two Destro goals and Destro struck again against Dynamo to score us a huge and much needed win to give us hope of reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League.



Player of the Month

Mattia Destro

Scored some really really important goals this month.

Wow, cracking start in the league but we have a really tough month coming up with games against City and Chelsea. The Champions League group is looking good and we should at least get third, but I want second and as long as we get a draw against Dynamo we should get that.

Doing brilliant, not much else to say. Unlucky with the Tottenham result and well done in Europe.

Monthly Review


So at the start of the month everything was fine, we destroyed Chelsea but Shaw picked up and injury and was ruled out for 5 months. Then Clyne picked up and injury in training as well!! For 6 weeks!! After that Adryan picked up an injury in the West Brom game. Then Poli picked up a training injury and is ruled out for 3 months!!! For **** sake's SI really?!?! So I was left with my Youth full backs BUT stupidly didn't register them for the Champions League games!!! *FACEPALM* So Jack Cork played Right Back and Hooiveld played Left Back with Yoshida playing Centre Back in those games.


Great results against Chelsea and Everton. Scraped by against Dynamo and only need a win against Tel-Aviv at home to progress. We actually took the lead against City and was 1-0 up at HT but threw it away with a quick Aguero double from City. The West Brom game was crazy and I was just happy to get a point to be honest.




Player of the Month
Jack Butland

Would have been much worse without him this month, pulled out some brilliant saves.

Monthly Review


Awesome month with Shaw and Clyne coming back, the kids done well but did cost us some points but not as much as I thought. They have gained my trust and its good I know that I have some talent coming up in the defense.


Some nice results and we qualified for the next stages and we got a kind draw with Galatasary being drawn out against us!!! The Reading game deserves a mention, holy **** it was mental. Goals going in in everywhere, and there could have been more.



Player of the Month

Erik Lamela

Been fantastic, scoring goals and creating them too.
