Viking Saint

Bale has just set up Crouch for 2nd goal, ex-Saint to ex-Saint....#

notice how the number of posts has dropped off sharply since Shay laren's name was posted on here!!!

SS2, The Spurs fans singing 'when the spurs go marching in'...****ing ****s, can't even generate their own song...wonder if they realise how stupid they sound...?

good call...now can I have some pics of girls with large norks please? ;0)

wonder what would happen if we got a penalty this half??? would we let Oxo take it for his hat-trick or let Rickie bury it?

marvellous...can you send me these? ;0)

Get in...SSN news there's a huge gulf between these two sides, Saints playing classy football.....WOOT!!!!

Puncheon's on the bench.....

Adkins out!!!!!

depends...has AP moved out of the area yet? ;0)

yeah, but how many 'whinging ninnies' on this forum have been appointed manager of Southampton FC??

yeah, but is he really an improvement on Pardew??? monumentally underwhelmed I'm afraid, but sincerely hope to be proved wrong....

totally ****ing unacceptable....this is what you get for ****ing about with a team that's making progress....the new appointment had better be bloody good.....

Neither Howe nor Adkins can realistically be seen as a step up from Pardew....if NC is true to his word, then AP has to be replaced with someone better/more successful/more experienced/with a proven track record of achievement.....neither Howe nor Adkins tick these boxes......this appointment has to be absolutely right...how painfully true the quote below rings..... "And a word of caution to anyone who fancies the Southampton job, particularly those already in employment. The Saints have not treated their managers well- nor given them time. This is not just down to the impatient sacking of seemingly successful Pardew- but the fact that they've had 14 permanent managers in the last decade and 6 in the last 4. The Solent is no haven for stability. Read more: http://www.s****horpe.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=212012#ixzz0yWGaK568

dear God no, anyone but.....surely NC can't really think that Wise would be a step up?!?!?!

Cortese with his long and extensive footballing experience and track record of getting teams out of League 1......???

Stunned....condolences to the Liebherr family...thank you Markus, for all you did for our club.....RIP

realistically, if Pardew was sacked, who else with a decent managerial pedigree would come to a League 1 club?? It's not a million miles away from if England had sacked Capelo, who would they get in with a better record who isn't already in a good job?

what? you mean just like last season? ;0)

On a hugely positive note, the skate bastards are 0-2 down every cloud.....;0)

having just read Bobby Robson's autobiography and read what an unbelievable amount of crap from tabloids and papers one of the decent gentlemen of English Football had to put up with, it is entirely understandable if some managers such as Ferguson decline to be associated with the press....everything they say can very easily be misconstrued and contrived by sensationalist hacks....the managers don't have the opportunity to recant or explain their comments once an article has been written without it spiralling into a plot of cover-up and counter-comment....if they don't talk to the media, they can't be put in difficult positions- simple....

who gives a ****? We as a club don't make any money out of them so frankly, why should be in any way concerned or bothered?

disappointing result, but even more disappointing reaction....the players and manager are under enough pressure carrying the tag of favourites without their own 'fans' booing them after 1 game....morons

- Decent perfomance in first half, Dickson and Puncheon did okay, some nice interplay but no end product - Barnard playing too wide, and then Connolly isolated in the box getting useless high balls in the box aren't going to be much use - no one had the bottle to shoot, desperately need a back-up for Lambert - Hammond crap as usual, uninspirational, doesn't distribute well and can't hit the target with two free headers- needs replacing with a midfielder who gets stuck in not the end of the world, long long way to go, but expected more from this afternoon....disappointing....

no intention to keep Bart then?
