  1. That game ranks very highly in my list of best experiences as a Saints fan, the Spurs fans thought they were going to beat us easily when they went ahead, only for Davo to p*ss on their chips. What a feeling coming out of WHL that day knowing that we had all but guaranteed ourselves European football the following season as well! Wednesday night will be a totally different situation with Harry Kane bagging himself a good haul after Hoedt just lets him past while looking for his guide dog and Maya backpasses straight to him in an easy win for Spurs!
  2. About their reputations as top flight footballers, let alone playing for Southampton fc and representing the city, as it certainly doesn't look like it? Week after week we get the same lacklustre performances from each of them followed by the same excuses and rallying call about how they will work hard in training to put it right along with how important it is for the fans to stick with them, only to then see exactly the same s*ite from each of them! How about they accept that it should be the opposite way around for once and they get told that they need to stick with the crowd and to then for each of them to deliver a half decent performance that will give them some pride to take home to their families after the match! Let's face it, they are stealing a living at the moment!
  3. We certainly didn't get a good deal for Mane, considering what Liverpool paid for Keita and Van Dijk and Mane's importance to our team. Liverpool got a bargain, especially when you see how much money we've had to spend, to bring in players who aren't even a quarter the player he was in a Saints shirt!
  4. If he wants to improve, I would suggest not listening to that bunch of mis-fires and to go his own way! He looks like he knows where the goal is and what to do when he gets there, the others could do with learning something from him, not the other way around.
  5. Southampton General would be flooded with heartache cases Sunday evening if that result came to pass!
  6. My four would be: Mane, Toby, Virgil & Rickie, although as has already been mentioned we are lacking that niggly bstard in the midfield that so upsets the opposition, so I might swap Virgil for big Vic or Marsdinho to give a bit of bite.
  7. In response to bobbyboy's question. Surely has to be Rickie, no pace but with the way he could strike a ball from any distance, I would still be confident of seeing the back of the net bulge, otherwise I'd go for Sadio!
  8. With Romeu having a mare again this season and Lemons only giving a cr@p when he feels like it, I'd rather Harrison stayed and played against Leicester. It would mean we only have to play one of the former, Reed is just the type of 'fly in the ear' player you need against an influential opposition midfielder & he spent the whole of last season in the same team as Maddison so should know his game inside out. Surely he's done enough in his previous appearances where he didn't look out of place replacing Morgan and Wanyama when called upon & not looking out of place there!
  9. 'Club he loves?' When did he join the Skates? Yes, he has ability, but the thing that is most frustrating about him is that he doesn't use it often enough. He is too safe with the ball, when he should be putting in a through ball for Gabbi to run onto, he stops and turns or passes sideways as soon as an opposition player faces him up, even if they aren't within 5 yards of him! As for his crossing, he can't seem to hit a decent cross on the run and never whips the ball round the back of the opposition defence. When he feels like it, he can battle his way into a game, but I guess that is because he thinks he can out muscle the opposition player he is up against, which isn't the case for most of the premier league midfielders he faces.
  10. Am not renewing mine but as i'm emmigrating to the other side of the world very soon, it was an easy decision to make. Although £800 to see Saints lift a cup at Wembley or the Premier League trophy at St Mary's would have made it worthwhile! :-)
  11. Having seen first hand at Arsenal and at home to Bournemouth which were just two examples, we would concede a lot less goals aerially if the other defenders didn't insist on leaving Cedric alone to guard the back post against players a good two feet taller than him!
  12. No away shirt on sale until the end of August, for one of the world's biggest sportswear companies with a full 12 months to design and manufacture the new seasons kits, surely that delay is inexcusable? Personally I would rather Saints had either stayed with Adidas or gone to one of the smaller manufacturers. I really don't like the designs of the American manufacturers. Best kits at the world cup are the Hummel Denmark kits and the Germany/Spain away shirts in my opinion!
  13. If you think things are bad amongst our fan base, you should of heard what the Watford fans were saying about their team on Saturday. They aren't happy bunnys and were basically sounding like a lot of our fan base at the moment in saying that they are already down. They said that since they picked up injuries to key players they have been rubbish with no fight and no idea, players picking up their pay whilst trying to engineer moves away. They're also not that happy about their new manager but also said Silva wasn't good either. So there is still hope for us yet, there have been signs of improvement in the team's play and even on Saturday the players showed enough to get the crowd behind them. We only need a couple of results and the pressure shifts over to the likes of them.
  14. Having seen his finishes for the under 18's I don't think he will have a confidence problem, he certainly knows how to finish when he is running with the ball. Considering Gabi did the same thing at the other end, it's a little unfair to concentrate on Oba. From what I've seen of him so far, he looks like he'll be a decent option off of the bench regularly for us. Would be great to see him and Long come off the bench late in a game against a tired defence. I just wish we had a manager who would take a chance like that, as I can't see Pellegrino being that adventurous.
