All I have to say is
#KRO
Players, Staff, Fans, everybody involved with this club has been spot on since the day we walked through the door.
Ecstatic for everyone involved.
The players wanted it and they delivered. Well done lads 👊🏼
Immense!! from the players first, the staff and the fans for their brilliant support! Over 5,000 there to see the boys Keep Right On until the 96th minute!!

I remember being devastated that
@Rovers
said they were selling me. After that rejection, I committed to Southampton and enjoyed every minute 😊 Thanks for the memories 👌🏼
Southampton signed
@1jamesbeattie
from Blackburn on this day in 1998.
His 76 goals earned 60 Premier League points and 4 cup wins in 235 appearances.
A Saints hero and a wonderfully brutal goalscorer

The ‘free world’ owes a debt of gratitude to every single young soldier that faced this scene, on this morning, 75 years ago.
Those who lived and those that sacrificed their lives.

Fond memories but the profound sadness I feel when watching these clips is real, watching Speedo and Ugo celebrating these goals with us.
Two really great guys who are always going to be missed.
Happy New Year everybody! Love, laugh and enjoy every moment. Help those less fortunate or in darker places 🙌🏼💙 and of course all you bluenoses KRO!! 🔵⚪️

This was the place you and many others embraced me into the

Thanks Fran ❤️
#classact
I worried at the time as it was the first time I’d left home. I needn’t of because the players, fans and club help me settle very quickly. I always had (a lot of) self confidence and was adamant in my mind I would make it a successful move. Some fantastic memories. Thank you ❤️😇
On this day in 1998, Southampton signed James Beattie (
@1jamesbeattie
) from
Blackburn Rovers.
76 goals and 12 assists in 235 appearances, becoming a goalscoring hero in the process.
One of the best in the country during that 02/03 season

What a truly remarkable effort🤩5 years ago Franny set himself this mammoth fundraising target. It has been one hell of a journey to get there. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do🥰
West Brom's caretaker manager, James Shan, will remain in charge of the first team for the next 10 days at least, including the local derby with Birmingham City a week on Saturday, Sky Sports News understands.
You do a great job running the page for the Saints fans. It’s insightful and engaging and I’m sure it helps people feeling part of something special.
Keep doing it and supporting this great club as we will support you 👊🏼😇
Thank you everyone, for all the Birthday wishes and the sharing of brilliant memories from

Sending my & my families thoughts and support to all at
@LCFC
, the families of those affected and the people of Leicester. With all the outpouring of grief and testaments, your Chairman was a great man and person. Events like these really give us perspective.
Extremely sad news, the passing of Justin Edinburgh. I remember, I was at Accrington and Justin was Newport manager. He was one of the few that offered help and advice. Terrible loss for football, were he was so highly thought of. My thoughts are with his family and friends💔
It was a ‘monumental combined effort’
Fans, staff, players, everybody contributed to the Great Escape.
Although, ‘at the wrong end of the table’, the feeling to overcome such relative adversity, was an amazing experience. Forged some great memories and great friends that year ❤️
53.5% - James Beattie scored 53.5% of Southampton’s Premier League goals in 2002-03 (23/43), the highest such ratio by any player in a season in Premier League history. Inspiration.

There’s nothing better than Beattie scoring and celebrating against our rivals

Great effort Niall, well done. I just wish all the fans you have drawn could be at the games! That goes for football fans everywhere too.
Let’s hope this can happen safely soon 🙏🏼
Good luck to the legend that is

I can’t remember but probably scored in this shirt 😉 Whatever the winner bids, I will match with a donation to help with the fundraising, if that’s ok? 🔴⚪️
The first shirt up for grabs to raise money for the local homeless is this match worn signed shirt from David Hughes’s testimonial , very hard to come by these ones !

We are making a stand against racist abuse.
We recognise that our platforms come with responsibility, and so we are using our voice to stand against racist abuse.
Together, we are calling on social media platforms and footballing bodies to do more!
It takes a hard, tough man to talk about his loved one Tanya’s story like

right now. Talking about things so painful and close to his so difficult, but talking is good.
Be strong like you are Vinnie ❤️
I was there 🙋🏼♂️sat watching as a

fan. I definitely would of applauded that goal
@mattletiss7
One of the all time great Premier League goals.
Little did I know, 4 years later, I would be your team mate 🙌🏼
Just hearing the stories from this 1 school, amongst the very many, is heartbreaking 💔
Everyone is struggling in one way or another, financially, mentally or physically. We need to show more solidarity, to raise awareness to help those in this or similar situations.
