Southampton began their 2017/18 Premier League season with a frustrating goalless draw with Swansea City. Mauricio Pellegrino’s side managed to rack up a total of 29 shots, but only got two of them on target. Saints began well, as a corner found the head of Manolo Gabbiadini, but his header struck the outside of the […]
The Saints started the season with a goalless draw against a relentlessly defensive Swansea City side yesterday. The game was dominated with Southampton chances, with Mauricio Pellegrino’s side racking up a total of 29 against the Swans. Manolo Gabbiadini and Dusan Tadic created the first few chances, as Gabbiadini headed the ball onto the outside […]
Southampton play host to Swansea on the opening weekend of the 2017/18 Premier League season. This will be the first competitive match for new Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino, as he will be looking to start the season with a solid win at home. Southampton mostly struggled last season due to poor form at home, so […]
Southampton ended their pre-season tour of France as they won 3-0 with a very impressive performance against Saint-Etienne. Mauricio Pellegrino made only three changes to the side that drew to Brentford, as Jack Stephens, Ryan Bertrand and Manolo Gabbiadini all got their first starts of pre-season. The first half was a dull one, with no […]
Southampton travel to Brentford on Saturday for their second game of pre-season. Mauricio Pellegrino will have another chance to get used to his new squad and improve from the 0-0 draw to St. Gallen while in Austria. Manolo Gabbiadini provided most of Saints’ chances in the match, and Saints will hope to start scoring against […]
This part of the year is usually the biggest for Southampton, as the South Coast side are mostly known for the sale of their biggest performing stars of the previous campaign. However, this year needs to be different if the Saints want to improve next season. The 16/17 Premier League season hasn’t been Southampton’s fondest, […]
Southampton have recently announced the appointment of former Alaves boss Mauricio Pellegrino as their new first team manager. The Saints needed a new manager to replace Claude Puel after he was sacked last week, and Pellegrino seems to be the man to take his place. Pellegrino has agreed to join the side and will move to […]

With the 2017/18 campaign a few months away, that can only mean one thing: the summer transfer window is almost upon us! Southampton didn’t quite reach the heights that many fans hoped for on Claude Puel’s debut season with the Saints, as an eighth place finish saw them miss out on Europa League qualification. Southampton […]
The 2016/17 season has drawn to a close; the end of a long, tiring nine months of Premier League football. The season has had its good and bad moments, with an EFL Cup final and an eighth place finish to show for in what has been an underwhelming season in the eyes of many Southampton […]
Southampton ended the season with a 1-0 loss against a strong Stoke City side. It was a poor performance from both sides, to be frank, but it was ex-Saints and Pompey striker Peter Crouch who made the difference. Claude Puel made two changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Man United, as Ryan Bertrand […]
Southampton ended the season with defeat as they narrowly lost 1-0 to Stoke City. Southampton started well, as Charlie Austin went close on a few occasions, but Stoke ended the half with the best chance of the game, as a dodgy back pass from Cedric fell perfectly to the feet of Peter Crouch, who could’ve put […]
