only the seats woud burn at our place then we'd be left with terraces..

********. Pearson didn't have micky mouse cup games to improve his stats. Pearson S****horpe 1-1 Southampton Southampton 1-1 Ipswich Wolves 2-2 Southampton Blackpool 2-2 Southampton Southampton 1-0 Leicester Hull City 5-0 Southampton Southampton 0-0 Coventry 8 points from 7 games Jan Cardiff 2-1 Southampton Southampton 1-2 Birmingham Derby 0-1 Southampton Southampton 0-1 Blackpool QPR 4-1 Southampton Southampton 2-2 Ipswich Southampton 0-0 Barnsley 5 points from 7 games

but if you mix that hay with mud you could at least make a decent hut. JP seems to prefer to just stack the fresh hay every week in the same fancy bundles and hope for the best.

spot on. If we really must play this 4-3-3 then make him one of the strikers not the midfield. I'd much rather see Lallana at rigth wing than McGoldrik.

I can't wait for Saturday. My Dad and his parents lived in Donny for years and naturally enough I have followed closely their downfall and then rise from the ashes. Never in a million years did I think we would ever face each other in the league, but what do you know. My Dad actually "helped build the new stadium", well he's a lorry driver that delivered 50 loads of iron girders/fencing, but I've yet to see the new ground. I went to Bell Vue many years ago to see Bury win in a midweek cup game with Peter Reid in midfield and boy was it a **** hole. OK so no doubt every post above (not read them) is concerned about our own misfortunes, but if you stop for two seconds and consider how bad things got for Donny (the chairman went to jail having been caught trying to burn the ground down due to horrific financial problems) then perhaps you will see that things could be worse! Anyho for those that are going, especially the few coming from the south coast, enjoy the trip and the game. See ya there.

absolutely spot on and that is why Pearson did not play them last season.

Are any of the senior players not being utilised actually available to Jan - Skacel, Thomas and Euell?

perhaps the price is better now, or will be soon?

if we go into administration then Surman, Lallana, Davis, John, all walk for peanuts. I'd expect Lowe to make an offer to buy the club as well.

there was a contract stipulating that they would pay us X amount. Why the **** did we not sit and wait for the cash to roll in rather than take a third string keeper instead? the bank wanted cash not extra wages. Did we even need a 3rd keeper? We could have got an emergency loan if we had got an injury to Davis/Bartor just used a youngster to sit on the bench. Madness. The only thing I can think of was Davis was sold and it fell through at last minute and we got left holding the baby (Forecast).

perhaps they want to buy a CCC side now, keep them up and then get them promoted to the Premiership the following season rather than sit and wait and acquire a League 1 side.

if we had just managed to stay up we could have signed him permanently and watched him take the **** out of defenders every week. He won't drop down a division. The only loans we could afford would be youngsters or perhaps from other CCC sides. Murphy from Brum might be an option to play at left back.

Club is skint + Prem interest = Kid gone for peanuts Financially OK + Prem interest = Kid goes for serious money or not at all

Agree either play him up front or drop him. He is never a winger in a million years.

Jan went for the carrot of a three year contract rather than the stick, ie kicking him up the arse.

what's to remember?

Dyer has had one start and three sub appearances after half a season out with injury, not to mention the court case hanging over him. I think he needs to be cut a little slack rather than chucked on the scrap heap. As badly as Skacel appears to have been treated, hasn't he been injured anyway? Is he even fit now?

if we continue to fail on the pitch the crowds will remain low, income will not meet outgoings and the club will have no choice whatsoever but to sell even if the amoubt offered is just `OK'. It's not rocket science.

he's inconsistent, not just from match to match, but from move to move. I don't see many players in the current squad that aren't

Are you sat near me as we were laughing about that on Saturday. He even runs like him. He's a fighter but never good enough to play in CM. I fear for us if its him and Perry against a bit of pace but they certainly looked solid on Saturday.

I honestly did not know who the 5th sub was on Saturday, I don't waste £3 on the programme (he wasn't in there anyway) and I missed the subs announcement. When I looked in the paper on Sunday and it said Davies I still didn't know. For someone that spends morning, noon and night looking on here and reading about Saints I am ashamed at myself for not knowing it was him and if I'm honest not knowing what sort of player he is anyway. Sign of the times s'ppose. Can someone fill me in please, where across the back doe she play? He looked tall so I assume he is a CB. Is he any good?

he gave him a massive mouthful and rightly so. Pretty fair match report that. Our defence looked good because their attack is the worst in the League.

how much are Lowe and Wilde paying themselves?

Northern games will always get a decent crowd as the `expats' always take advantage of a game on their doorstep. I'll be driving up. No chance of persuading any of my mates to go and struggling to persuade my old man to join me...even with a free ticket!

I've described myself on here as a `mug fan', but I think you should ease up when calling supporters morons. Some of us bought ST's because we love watching Saints, the fact we are **** right now is just the way it is, but a supporter must take the rough with the smooth. When we finally get a modicom of success those that have suffered long and hard will appreciate things that little bit more.
