70's Mike

that is hardly a recommendation

Agreed but my point is , do these silly comments, even allowing for the language difference, really help the players development

biggest mistake was noticed he appointed JP

In tonights Echo Wotte describes Smith as having "world class" abilities. Now i understand bigging the lad up at Staplewood and SMS , but in the press ? I honestly believe that he is just humping pressure on the lad with fans expectations being increased and then we he does not perform we gets abuse. Please Mark KEEP your opinions in house

would have been interesting if Thompson had come back , still like all this hindsight is brillant , you can go over the years and there are so many "what ifs" all that matters now is a point at wolves and 3 against palace, i believe a buyer will be found but the calibre of such buyer may well depend on what division we are in

may be he would have picked different kids to bring in on loan

not sure if you are agreeing with me or not

so we will be able to sing to the other 90 plus clubs "we are southampton no one likes us, we don't care"

for 18months of those 2 years we were run by businessmen appointed by wilde, a fact conviently forgotten by rupert and co

We always have been in reality Ron, i cried my eyes out when we sold Martin Chivers only difference in those days we had better players coming through even though we did not have an academy

What i still cannot understand is this. I am currently working helping a business that has needed reorganizeing , it is up to its overdraft limit at the end of each month and we have to control the cheques we send out because the bank has warned the directors that they will not meet any payments which take them above their overdraft limit. So why did SLH not have better control on its day to day finances, surely some payments could have been held up until the income from the next home game would have been banked.

he also appears to have forgotten Wigley, Gray and even stranger JP

agreed funny thing is rupert has conviently forgotten the first 7 months of this season just like he tried to wipe out all history of the club before 97. he also appears to have forgotten messrs Wigley, Gray and JP. SELECTIVE memory disorder ?

took my eldest to the Dell when he was 6 , some 15 years ago, sat under the East Stand we beat Villa near the end of the season and he was a bit frightened by the noise. Took his brother to SMS fOR first ever game there when he was five but he was ok, because this elder brother was 12 and the younger one did not want to be a baby.

praised mark wotte but no reference to JP, BASICALLY he gave his normal speech , everyone else ****ed up but him.

i noticed it BUT JPS was on a high and no disrespect to Surman BUT he is hardly a world fmous free kick taker. the headlines were there , centre back scores hattrick, the fates were with us he should have taken it

blame the bank

totally agree me and my son were screaming at them, made no difference. i do not usually prescribe to the must win game senario but Palace is beginning to fall into that category or else it could be all over before the Forest game

Throat very sore this morning but had already booked today off work, if Surman had let JPS take the last free kick i may have lost voice completely. See you at Wolves

may

well we all know one person who thinks he has nothing to answer for

exactly

join the club at least you and i paid for our shares and were not given them

No need Nick ALL WENT WRONG DURING MY 2 YEARS AWAY not my fault left money in bank build the stadium cup final europe catering radio station insurance company no mention of relegation failure to get promotion whilst we still had money selling radio station and insurance business#

hell will freeze over first and as for Guy , Windsor-Clive and Withers they have slipped back under their stones until the heat goes down
