Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Well it looks like Skacel is off according to the Beeb. If so, it frees up a bit of cash for someone to be brought in. Maybe.

Would be pleased if that was the case, as I think Lupoli is a decent player, although anyone who could work well with Saga would be good!

Not surprised at that. They don't want him because they have to pay the next part of his fee if he plays for them again (much like us with Alan McLoughlin a few years ago). So that's an unwanted player, not necessarily of Championship quality but going for free? Sound perfect - welcome to Southampton Kevin!!!!!

The transfer window could turn out to be an anti-climax as far as players coming in are concerned. The loan window doesn't expire until March so, even if we miss the Feb 2nd window deadline, we'll still be able to loan players in. I guess the real question will be if anyone leaves SMS permanently...

Just the attitude we need IMO. Good luck Saga and, Wottesy, don't leave him out again...

McLaggon realised that scoring a goal tonight meant his mum would find out he hadn't come straight home from school, as promised.

Still no sign of the fella then? Wotte's going on???

You mean Kevin Phillips is coming back?!?!

It's not good news then?

Loose women

One foot in the grave

Nothing better than news of signing a new striker to "boost morale". Especially at such a difficult time with fan protests and the manager walking out. If I was a cynic I'd suggest that we're announcing a possible signing, without naming anyone, and then, at the last minute, it all falls apart and nothing comes to fruition. At least we tried, though, right?

Is this tongue in cheek look at a rumour which hasn't (yet) happened or is he the mystery striker Judas aluded to?

Not by us fans, obviously. He'll take the plaudits if Wotte saves us from relegation - mark my words.

Maybe Leon delivered a few home truths. I'd like to think so!

I'm guessing but maybe it was too confrontational, even form Rupes, to come back in and bring someone with him who could be deeply unpopular. Far better to get a nice guy in, if he does well - great, if not, he can easily be pushed aside for Lowe's true choice - Wotte. If Wotte saves us then Lowe can be lauded for his actions.

Weren't we linked with Bradley Johnson from Leeds a couple of weeks ago? Could be him and maybe Surman's departure could be linked to Jan's walk out. Nothing like building a rumour from scratch and without substance!

It'll be interesting to see whether Jan gets the chance to have his say. I just hope it's not all tied up to a compo payment, which means we'll get the usual drivel of how it was just time to go and Mr Lowe has definitely really not ever, ever, not once, ever interfered with the playing side.

Good work KD! A vote of confidence for Jan from our captain and he's gone. You know what to do now, KD - just talk of your support for Lowe and he won't see out the weekend!!

Invite him along! He might want to help...

You're dad will need to re-write his article pronto!! Has Saeijs ever met Wotte or Gorre?!

Absolutely - doesn't he ever learn? Luggy goes, by the evening Wigley's our new manager. And what a success he was! Now JP's gone and you Wotte is in charge! Madness. I just wish Lowe would go with a multi-trillionaire waiting to step in just as quickly.

Blimey! One pint of Strongbow and I've started to believe Jan has gone and Wotte is our new head coach. I can't believe it! I used to be able to hold my drink...

The time has come for a change at Southampton. Rupert Lowe has to go and he can take Mike Wilde and the clowns we have as a coaching staff with him. The total football experiment is yet another Lowe failure and is ultimately leading us towards League 1. The decision to let Nigel Pearson go is looking more foolish by the minute, especially when you see Leicester's progress. How ironic when you consider we went head to head, on the final day of last season, to stay in this division. The crowds are dwindling, partly due to Rupert's return, partly due to the sheer lack of entertainment and partly because you're paying season ticket prices to watch a reserve and youth team, which last year was free! Rumours of administration abound with the situation characterised by an AGM at which the PLC board did nothing but 'wind up' fan and shareholder alike. Go now Rupert and at least give us long suffering Saints fans a glimmer of hope! Have e-mailed the text above. Tried to keep it succinct (otherwise they'd need a whole hour to devote to us) and didn't mention the fan protests as they don't always paint these in a positive way. Doubt they'll read it as they have little true interest outside the top flight but at least I've tried!

I wonder how Helmond Sports are doing without me...?
