Fitzhugh Fella

Bit harsh that. He cost us peanuts, was signed as a backup, always gave 100% and of course scored that goal. A nice fella too, I have heard.

2003 Cup Final where he played for 1-0 LOSS

Allardyce makes Harry Redknapp look positively whiter than white. No thanks!

I'll make no comment except to say that slowly I am being proved right.

I must admit I am coming off the fence now and think Puel should go. 8th place blah blah blah but I have been totally bored for months. I just hope Lou Reed and Freddy Krueger have someone lined up, otherwise we might as well stick and not bust.

Good shout

I think I am right in saying that as Exeter's Matthew Oakley has just announced he is hanging up his boots, there is no one else currently turning out in professional British football who played at The Dell. Soon the number of Saints fans who never visited the Dell will be in the majority and yet MLT's winning goal only seems like yesterday to me.

I was mischievously playing the poster not the post. It is undoubtably a very credible achievement for a club our size and I watched Spurs goals go in with glea, but the tone of the post was a little bit overblown. It reminded me of those wartime newsreels that tried to boost morale.

Desperate

Marbella? Classy place.....for a Russian.

He's only 21 and getting better all the time. I have watched him quite a bit live this season and he has improved two fold. His last match v Brentford he was leading the line with skill, determination and pace. He has all the qualities to replace Jay Rod imo and has a good temperament.

Writing off a 21 year old who virtually every Championship side is busting a gut to sign makes no sense. Not many 6' 4" strikers can fly down the wing like Sam and yet he is being written off because "he scored goals for a relegated side"! Wow!

One season

If I was a betting man I would wager Virgil will outstay Claude in terms of departing SMS.

By then he will have less than a year left on his contract and could run it down.

Was at Brentford yesterday and thought Sam had an excellent game, a view endorsed by Sky commentators and the Guardian. A shame there appears to have been anyone from Saints there monitoring as they would have seen a performance of strong running, aerial domination and superb link up play. I may be biased but there is a danger the club may be about to let a real prospect slip from their grasp.

And don't forget another reason to back Sam now is his goals for Rovers could send Brum and more importantly Harry down.

Love to see one of these leaflets

Yes we have talked to the club and they are keen so we are looking at a 2017/8 publication.

I agree entirely. Blackburn can't afford him but Saints seem to be reluctant to talk.

To keep him the club would have to offer him a new contract as his existing one runs out in 12 months.

He's had 2 injuries since Jan, a gashed leg needed 12 stitches and then a hamstring so a lot of those 12 games have been off the bench. With Saints seemingly not bothered there are a lot of Championship clubs beating a path to Ewood and I see Moyes was there again yesterday. I am biased but I really think he has what it takes both in footballing terms and character wise. Certainly Coyle and Mowbray have both been very impressed.

Sam wins the penalty that gives Rovers their first win under Mowbray. David Moyes watching in the Stands.
