No one else was trying to get Ramirez this summer. We were the only game in town.

Absolutely this. Ridiculous to make out we were anything other than one of the strongest teams in the division.

Interesting WHU are already in "the solid six" - didn't we finish above them? And didn't we outspend most of Europe?

No mention of the push that completely changed the game then? The usual typical anti Saints agenda from the BBC........

I think we should drop Lambert for the next five games in a row. This is genius for several reasons - he's desperate for a rest, its good practice for the team for when he really is injured. And this would make him the ultimate impact player - the brilliant shock factor will completely destabilise the opposition when we finally play him again bringing him on in the 85th minute on Boxing Day.

Sorry, that was and is an appalling "game plan". RL would have contributed to the defensive performance you are bemoaning.

So, just to confirm, rather than start with a player so feared that the opposition have to "sit" three players on him...leave him on the bench so the opposition can then free up those three players to focus on beating us. Starting your best player on the bench is not using him "properly". Seriously, you are mental.

Disgraceful thread. Don't you remember where we were three years ago?

Don't play Lambert because we "know won't score"? Against West Ham United? What? Lambert is our best player, bar none. Relegating him to a walk-on part and nothing more than an Ole Gunnar Solksjear super sub is effing retarded.

Funny, I was going to start a pis s-take thread complaining about how MOTD was biased against Saints for failing to mention how brilliant/hard done by/totally cheated out of it we were to be so narrowly defeated 4-1. Glad I didn't bother because there's you're never far away from a genuine "anti-Saints agenda" thread. Well done. How come Lineker didn't mention where we were three years ago? It's a disgrace.

Correct. Another manager could definitely do better. That's true at most clubs. If Adkins does go I think we'd have to go with a Curbishley. An organiser, a driller. I can see Curbs getting ten clean sheets out of us, which would be the ten wins we need to stay up. Dull but effective, a bit like the Hoddle era.

Owen Coyle was flavour of the month about 18 months ago. Now look at him.

..especially as our squad is, man for man, far better than Strachan's cup final squad.

When are we going to wear the white kit?

No we didn't.

Glad its not just me then. Effing useless.

Where, exactly does MLT say "we didn't need Markus". Do find the quote.

I did see what you did there and it made zero sense unless you actually think that admiration for Matthew Le Tissier makes you a loser.

I think the biggest losers are those crawling up the Arris of a football CEO and mocking the opinions of our greatest ever player. But hey, football is all about passion, romance and wa nking over the chief executive. You've really captured the true meaning of this sport, sorry, Leisure Business, that we all love. Shame.

What are you waffling on about? Wrong again, as usual.

I think we'll nick an unlikely draw. This is a pressure game for WHU because they'll expect to win. We'll be two up after half an hour but ground down to a draw by the end.

After what Warnock said I have no doubt people on Leeds and Wednesday forums are discussing just that. You're wrong, as usual.

Yeah but this is just Jersey TBF. Jersey's just a masonic lodge surrounded by water so no surprise stuff gets covered up there.

Quite, its a joke and makes me think a proportion of the claims is bullsh it from attention seekers. And I am getting sick of the "I couldn't say anything, no one would believe me, he was untouchable" excuse. This is Jimmy Savile we're talking about. Not Nelson Mandela. Jimmy freaking Savile. Everyone involved had a chance for justice if they chose to take it.

Not sure Nicola Cortese needs to read a load of horsesh it from you and your chums about Drastically reduced tickets, Easyjet model, Bayern Munich model, Pompey defectors and our gigantic catchment area of people hitherto with no interest in Saints. But hey, send him over. I'm sure he'll work out our self-proclaimed intelligent posters are always good value for a laugh.
