When he extended it inside 6 months of Nigel "being in the building", for man who is portrayed as a hard faced whatsit, that is a massive statement in my book. Sometimes people on here read far too much sensationalist newspaper reporting, and when there is nothing coming out read into it the worst. We need to learn we are a privately owned Swiss company, and the Swiss do not wash their laundry in public, so we, the public, are only going to be told what they deem we need to know, whilst running the club quietly and efficiently. ...................... Don't think many can complain about the running of Southampton Football Club over the past 3 years.

Sounds like the people at away games who get a bit too much Beer v lemonade in their 10/90 Shandy's, then give it large with the middle finger (and other abusive hand signals) towards a BIG FLUFFY Mascot!!!! Oooooooohh!!

Have to say when we were up there for the league game on a Prawn Sandwich jolly in a box. We had trouble keeping our composure when we scored, and were not separated like box occupants are at SMS. A row down to our right was a bloke who bled Sky Blue, in between giving the team and The directors box a piece of his mind, he was very pleasant in our direction. Yesterday I too was amazed at the number of them who stayed after the final whistle, and their reply to our chant of stand up if you're going up, of Stand up if you're going down! Showed the dark humour of football fans following a team on the bones of its ar$e. Hopefully they will get back on an even keel. At he end of the day that has to have been a hardcore of travelling fans yesterday , and when we were in the darkest of days there never seemed to be an axe to grind with normal opposing fans.

Knowing how Nigels brain seems to work in a wider sphere, maybe the comment is the start of keeping everyone's feet on the ground, in that in the Prem we are not likely to have the same win ratio we have enjoyed for the last 2/3 seasons. Maybe he has also read on here that after 10 games in the prem he will get the bullet? Maybe as someone else has said, and looking at the Football League show, the emotion of the day by the time he did that interview had finally worn him down............. And every manager knows their existence in the job is always precarious.

All of them!!!

Looks like all you Dandys are going to be in the minority. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?12581-I-m-going-to-wear-my-colours-today Looks like dress code for tomorrow is Red & White and cobblers to what anyone else thinks!! COYRs!!!

If they weren't so lazy they could have parked in Brittania Road and walked to the ticket office it's only a couple of minutes if you have two fully functioning legs, if that. Who cares, their loss.

Come on you Mods this needs to remain Sticky!!

That's your ticket up for sale then!!

If you have left & right please can you save me 3 pairs (as no doubt they will sell like hot cakes) as I will not be into Southampton until 11am............. Thank you in advance.

Sitting through the games at home especially for the whole season, I always thought I could see Plan A , B, C, D, and E on many an occasion as Adkins has always tweaked things from the sidelines. However in recent weeks I do think he has been a little hamstrung by players like Lee out who adds another dimension, Chaplow bobbing in and out of fitness, Morgan out, De Ridder looking a little flat (although a ball for him to run onto would be nice). Connelly missing, Barney probably a bit distracted, Puncheon (god. Knows). Guly seems to slow the tempo, but then replacing Chaplow and the way he runs around Usane Bolt might even look a bit lethargic.When we know it's not our day yes sometimes the long ball appears to be the last resort, and lacking in an abundance of pace makes it look worse.

Did you not read my earlier post, the queue to get in is still massive, plus now the fashion police are on the door checking to see if you are suitably attired to be seen in their shop!!!! Plus you are going to have to amend your inspection policy to include the viewing of receipts, because all the current gear has gone, and now they are working through the old stock from about 2-3 years ago and beyond!!!

Yup we will all get wet and there will be loads of rubbish blowing about on the pitch......................... Actually everyone bring balloons let them go, delay the start then we will be 5 - 10 minutes behind West Ham at kick off/ fianal whistle!

Yeah right!! Have you seen the bloody queue outside!! there must be over 18,000 people in it, The copper helping to keep things in order wanted to know what the chuff was going on as he said from 9:53 this morning people started converging on the shop, the car parks are full and the Avenue is at a standstill.

Robbie Savage hit the nail on the head the other night when he said, if you are in the last few games of the season with nothing to play for, as a player you are not going to pile into a 50/50 challenge or any challenge where you might get injured because an injury at this time of the season means you can kiss goodbye to your holiday, as you will be spending the next few weeks on the treatment table being repaired ready for next season. We just have to go out and do what we have been doing so well for the vast majority of the season.

What you mean to say actual association Football was played professionally before 1992?!!?? I reckon you are on the wind up again Turkish!! Next you will be telling us that Men actually went to the Moon and discovered that it wasn't made of cheese!! Everyone knows Sky invented Football!!!!

I would thought you get very little if any seeing as the TV money is a fraction of the Prem and has to be spread right down the the 3 divisions. And if you are off to the land of plenty, do you really need some pocket money for the journey? Be interesting to know if the remains of the parachute payment from the Prem on relegation stays in the League if a team promoted back into it during the 4 years the payment now covers still stays behind.

Only been coming on here since that clanger we dropped v Brizzle City last December!!

I bet Dune didn't expect to get "blue"rinsed by the holders of the grey pound, when he started this thread.

I would dine out on that for as long as you can!! Although the latter is probably true too!!

Thankfully we have someone else who deals in the dark arts of software, plus our main system runs off the very dark mystical world of dBase. At inception I just ask the questions about everything that goes wrong when visiting everyone else's website etc. Admittedly with this little subject, reading the opening posts certainly helped to prepare ones mind for what may lay ahead,(an inquisitive mind might have helped too) instead of diving into page 120 and reading the mithering about a crap system, then joining in................ although by page 120 the subject would be on to where's the tick box to say I don't want to sit next to someone wearing a replica shirt.

It not aap3, its someone who has established experience with this ticketing system. Did mine on Chrome apart from a back track at the end then 2 clicks forwards, takes you to the junkmail and T's&C's tick boxes. when you submit, it takes you round to the first page. All very painless...................... Apart from my Confirmation email being in my Junk Folder: So check your Junk/Spam folder for your confirmation email.
