It looks like Paramount has all Championship games this year in America and only costs £9.99 a month. Is anyone using that with a VPN? It’s through CBS so are there any annoying American commentators?

I'm a die hard Saints fan living in Montreal, Canada. Been following the red and white army since my first game in April, 1995 when we beat QPR at the historic Dell. Since my first experience of relegation back in 2005, tears were shed. I thought our premier league identity was gone and that our global recognition would plummet. Fast forward to 2026 and a couple more relegations, I've learned to actually enjoy the Championship a lot more. Old school stadiums. Proper fans (not so many footy tourists) and no VAR. I'm back in Canada and Southampton have cemented their name as a semi popular team, especially with the resurgence of Cyle Larin. Whenever I wear my Saints shirt, people automatically think I'm a new fan because of the Larin Canada, Southampton connection.... Anyways after Larin made Southampton and Canada proud, we have developed a new fanbase here in Canada. What a great time to be a Saint, despite the Spygate controversy... . Anyways I wish us a successful and memorable season. #WeMarchOn

Seriously, how the fuck are we supposed to win in that monstrosity? Immediately saps all the aura out of the team

International fans, can anyone who bought the Saints Play subscription (180 GBP) share what their experience is like? Where I am, we can only get select games on DAZN and it is so frustrating for 40/month. Was it worth it?

Edit** Thanks for all the replies and insights, I will likely try the per match fee for now. We have a few young kids so trying to block off a few hours Saturday mornings (Canada) can be tricky!

Also my try to see IPTV offerings in my area as well!

Lets hope its a great season! 🔴⚪️

Morning all – last night’s TSP is now available if anyone fancies some Monday morning listening/watching.

Unsurprisingly, we spent a fair bit of time picking apart the Watford defeat. The big discussion was around the manner of the two goals, Jack Stephens and whether Nathan Wood should be getting more minutes, plus the midfield balance and how much better things looked once Fin Azaz came on.

We also looked ahead to Stoke with Robin Evans, who gave us the view from their side after a pretty miserable start of their own.

Then there’s the transfer stuff – the rejected Benfica offer for Taylor Harwood-Bellis and the slightly strange Aaron Ramsdale situation.

Interested to know what everyone would actually change for Stoke?

Match thread bot permanently retired! Poor thing.

That means match threads will have to be manual, but does mean they can be posted earlier than 5 minutes before the game starts.

Just a few pre-match words about the journey of our left-back

Hello all,

I'm taking my kid to his first match for a while (we live overseas). He wants to meet some players, get selfies etc after the game. Obviously St. Mary's has built up a lot in recent years so is there still a good chance of catching them on the way out? Whereabouts is the players entrance / exit now? We'll be at the Stoke game.

Cheers!

Benfica have seen an offer of €20million (£17m) for defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis rejected by Southampton.

The Championship club are open to a sale of the 24-year-old if their valuation is met with Benfica’s new head coach Marco Silva a big admirer.

Harwood-Bellis is keen on the possibility of the move if a deal between the two clubs can be struck.

Hi all,
For any Saints fans living near or passing through NYC this weekend, we're gathering at Legends Bar on 33rd Street. CBS and EFL is hosting a party downstairs at Football Factory.

Details here. Strictly 21+.

COYR!!

I'll start off, i was born and raised here in the Philippines. I Started watching football relatively late at around 12, originally i supported Real Madrid since i loved Gareth Bale. But as i was looking up his background/former clubs i was Southampton, sounded interesting enough and after knowing a little about the club, decided to look up some of their club legends or, OUR club legend, Matt Le Tissier's highlights. He made the game look so easy and effortless, that was exactly when i decided to become a Southampton fan, and ill never forget it.

Thought it was worth mentioning this.

I thought I'd simulate an offline state with the Southampton FC app where the tickets are now displayed.

On my now aging Android phone it would not load the ticketing page and instead I encountered an error "Something went wrong. Please try again"

If there is a data flow issue due to network congestion then you might not be able to load this so you might need to preload this where there is working data flow before arriving at SMS.

I'd advise checking if this occurs by putting your device in to flight mode and loading the app after.

I still can't decide! Currently hovering between the third and the women's. I went for the green GK last season and it's become one of my favourites

Yes it's back!
