Now the dust has settled on the January transfer window it might be worth checking your official Saints calendar.
Ralph Hasenhuttl had a mass clear out last month with senior players Steven Davis, Manolo Gabbiadini, Wesley Hoedt and Cedric Soares all leaving the club on loan.
This has left the calendar looking redundant at times due to them all featuring in this year’s edition, however, it’s February’s picture that has prompted Saints fans to poke fun at the situation.
Former boss Mark Hughes takes centre-stage for this month’s picture, but supporters have begun replacing his face with Hasenhuttl’s.

Hughes was sacked at the beginning of December following a string of poor results that left Saints looking down the barrel of relegation.
Next month isn’t looking great, either.
Hasenhuttl’s cull in January has had an adverse effect on March as both Hoedt and Cedric feature prominently, alongside midfielder Oriol Romeu.
April sees Davis, who was the first Saint out the door when he signed for Rangers on loan, pictured with Stuart Armstrong and Jan Bednarek.
Fans who have purchased the calendar will at least be able to enjoy May and June without being haunted by anyone that’s left the club.
But, it’s normal service resumed in July when Gabbiaidni shares the page with Shane Long and summer signing Jannik Vestergaard.
Following July, given there isn’t another mass exodus of senior players, Saints fans will be able to turn the calendar and see members of the squad who are still at the club.
