Let the brainwashing of the media continue. If you repeat any rubbish often enough it will be accepted, the Skates being the largest fan owned in the country for instance.

You are right, it isn't simply a case of buy a new backup. But then, this has been done to death.... I stand by my assertion that Wayne Bridge would have been the best choice for that role. Fox is however continuing to get game time ahead of the switch you suggest. I agree with your idea and I feel we should be giving Chambers the game time at RB with Clyne at LB if Shaw is out. The remonstrations from Lovren in the Swansea game tell me that the squad know he isn't up to it so I would expect more effort in bringing in someone to cover the position better. There is no certainty that Targett will be able to come through, not every academy player will be a world beater regardless of initial promise.

I don't fear other clubs coming in for our better players. They could have left at other times, why leave when we are looking the best we have for decades and do not need to sell? Another attacking player, like a Lennon, would be excellent. I still feel we need better backup at left back, yet the club seems to have set it's stall out with Fox as the fall back.

Well. This is bizarre!!

Recommending a player that you went on to describe as one of Rupert Lowe's biggest follies?

He can ignore them for as long as he likes! Keep them focused on their club form.

I have a similar one. Love it, beautiful picture quality. Would always recommend Samsung tele's.

Right, just got home. 1-0 down but it looks as though we are playing ok. Hope we've saved the goods for the second half.

Booooo! Use my own words against me!

And here was me hoping the bandwagon would be quiet ahead of the game at old trafford.

It's an oddity to me, and can only be beneficial or detrimental. The manager is just a function of the club philosophy, yet he could be good enough for a top four club........

Either outstanding trolling or truly horrifying lolz!!

To the tune of No-Limits Morgan, Morgan Morgan. Morgan Morgan, Morgan Morgan MORGAN. If you can find anyone incapable of learning that I will give them a cookie.

Yes, that did strike me as odd. I was also drawn back to the words of Neil Warnock on the Talksport breakfast show (yes, yes...) who said that comments of this sort would generally come from someone who felt threatened, insecure.... not as valued as maybe they once were. I had wondered if it could have been Defoe, yet he has never been a key player. Lampard fits the bill.

Sadly, this. The screwing around with lunch shifts is bad, but the contracts work all ways. She doesn't sound a very good manager but call centres are absolute snake pits, skilled middle managers are not a pre-requisite. Good luck in finding a new job, in the mean time for the love of god keep your nose clean.

A few generalisations but an otherwise excellent read. I've had a few overseas colleagues ask about us knowing I am a Southampton fan, our exposure is growing and anything to put us in perspective in foreign media can only be positive.

Was also the worst player on the pitch. (My source was less then reputable)

I had heard Smalling.

Yep, Who is the rat?

Dad still gets the program, even though it no longer fits the folders (he is seething over that! Never mind Saints ale costing £4 that's his bugbear...) and he has not mentioned it.

Oh cheers!

Not sure about the costs for replacement but was it bought by credit/debit card? The ticket office can reference the seat to the card used, if you have his details I can't see why you couldn't get it for him.

I would say with cast iron certainty that there has never been a South Coast derby match without British born players featuring in the starting line ups. Even when the Skates were bloated with foreign mercenaries in that FA Cup game David James was in goal. In the last league fixtures two English players scored our goals, Lambert and Sharp.

No, there's an international break in November.

Yes, it's great enjoying the situation we are currently in but it is still early and we have a lot of work to do. I wouldn't want to risk jinxing things by being a little too over the top.
