Viking Saint

lol.....they also say he's 29, could've sworn he's older than that....seems to have been around forever!!

now on wikipedia, the fountain of all knowledge.... SouthamptonOn 17 May 2012,Yakubu signed a five-year deal with Southampton F.C. for an undisclosed fee and was assigned the number 17 shirt by manager Nigel Adkins.

surely McCann merits a starting place? the worst footballer I've ever seen in a Saints shirt.....

Alan Sugar with his new apprentice.....

phenomenal ;o)

between you and me, I reckon he was watching ;o)

you've nailed it there!!!!

a sensible and balanced response, good on ya mate and well done to all at Reading - hope we join you at the top table next season )

not something I'm going to lose much sleep over......he's always struck me as a pretty down-to-earth bloke and am not going to change my opinion based on him blowing some smoke up his own team's a*se and making them feel good......NA does it for us in every interview, positively reinforcing how good our players are and what a great club we are and how we're moving in right direction.....I'd call it good management tbh....

am surprised he was moved up front when Rickie came off....surely Barnard off the bench would've been a more logical swap??

is this really worth a post??? manager of losing team complains about decisions, not really a headline grabber is it??

bang on, sack-faced conniving tosser.....massively over-rated, over-hyped and devious.....his track record, under scrutiny, actually makes for pretty dismal reading.....part of me wants him to get the job and be exposed for the con-artist he is, but at the same time, I don't want the national side to suffer

probably, Hammond is one CM I wouldn't be overly upset to lose.....fear he'll be exposed if we get promoted, whereas Morgan's class will shine in the Premiership where it's not all about physicality but playing your way through teams.....am really chuffed he's now playing with greater consistency which was his achilles heel in the past.....

37, live in Lancashire, originally from Bitterne of Norwegian/Danish descent, first game was centenary match vs Everton when my mate was official mascot and took me with him, lost 2-3, but I remember Glenn Cockerill scoring within 70 seconds and being blown away by the noise....school was near the Dell so used to get tickets for most midweek games, not in Soton very often unfortunately but last game was the 2-0 win v Burnley this season.......

lol....amusingly harsh but fair!! COYR!!!

today's just getting better and better!!

I'll second that....it's great to be a Saint!!!

actually had us down as a draw here......don't think we can really ask for too much more....would've been nice to hang on for a win as a reply probably isn't what we need at this point, but sounds like there are a lot of positives there

think it's a bit harsh to judge the lad on 60 minutes appearance, showed a few nice touches......have we slipped Redcrapp a bung for him??

totally pointless f@cking thread....he's our reserve keeper who's had a bad day at the office, we haven't lost, still top by three points, get over it

I agree totally with this....the number of times I was waiting for someone to pull the trigger.....are we trying to pass the ball into the net???

good to get the rub of the green once in a while

anyone know when the draw takes place??

true, but the thread title refers to whether we're sending out a marker, not to whether we're going to win the league....after 4 games, we're unbeaten, playing attractive football, are top of the table, and are winning plaudits for our style of play and attitude towards the game from neutrals and opponents alike.... by these tenets, we are indeed laying down a marker.....I'm not presuming for one second that we are going to win this league, but so far, so good, and a lot of things in this club seem to be going right.....after all we've endured in the last 5 years, where is the harm in enjoying the moment??
