Everton Home Won 2 – 0
The way Ralph’s team is playing, there’s no point in making any changes but Livramento had to be recalled to face Everton after Perraud’s positive Covid test; Walker-Peters moved to left back. Although Broja burst clear to test Pickford early on, most of the honours in the opening stages belonged to the visitors, until Saints […]
Manchester United Away Drew 1 – 1, Saints unbeaten against the Manchesters
After a fine display midweek, it was no surprise that Saints were unchanged at Manchester United for Rangnick v. Hassenhūttl, or, more succinctly, Ralf v. Ralph. It became clear that Ralf-ball is very like Ralph-ball, and you can be very effective on the break against a Southampton team who themselves enjoyed plenty of attacking options […]
Tottenham Hotspur Away Won 2 – 3
Back to League action at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and a more familiar Southampton line-up; an adventurous one too, with both Adams and Broja included – what a fine decision that turned out to be! Adams should have had his team ahead in the opening minutes but we’ve often had positive beginnings that come to […]
Coventry FA Cup 4th Round Home Won 2 – 1 AET
Ralph has a pleasing record of taking the F.A. Cup seriously – he’s even taken us to a semi-final. So why the ten changes to his starting line-up as Coventry came to town? My explanation is that he was swayed by the ease with which a much stronger team were coping with similarly ranked opponents […]
London Saints Player of the Season 2020/21
‘Unfortunately, we cannot find your shield, but we will purchase a new one with all the engraving’. These were the worrying words from SFC some months ago. We all like happy endings. A search in the clubhouse at the training ground was made and lo and behold, our historic shield was found. This year, Gary […]

Manchester City Home Drew 1 – 1
Manchester City at home was the sort of game where you turn up for the sort of Southampton performance that would have seen season tickets torn up once upon a time. You can’t blame Ralph, or anyone else at the club, for an almost total rearguard action that saw our team enjoy just 26% possession; […]
Wolves Away Lost 3 – 1
‘Unspoilt by Progress’ used to be the motto of Wolverhampton brewer Banks’s, one that can also describe this delightfully unglamourous place, even if the home team’s stadium has now been stripped of all that once made it attractive – rather like its team under Bruno Lage, and Ralph tried to counter a stingy defence by […]
Brentford Home Won 4 – 1
And so it came to pass that Covid didn’t thwart the Premier League’s plans to provide Southampton with five consecutive London opponents in their competition, the Brentford game becoming the first of our re-arranged fixtures. It was also a rare opportunity for the team to play in front of an owner, with The Dragan* shown […]
Swansea Away FA Cup 3rd Round Won 2 – 3 AET
Oh no, here we go again! Swansea entertained Saints in the FA Cup in an empty stadium, and with the stroke of a lawmaker’s pen, a 5:30 k.o. turned from a nuisance to a benefit. A strong XI took the game to the Championship side, with Redmond and Stuart Armstrong prominent in a lively beginning. […]
