Good.

Good idea. I feel the poll will be rather one sided. He may be a ruthless bastard, but he's our bastard. Would far rather have him on side.

I'll have what you're having.....

We cannot comment based on the West Brom game. Was still funny though.

Touché.

Has he been drinking!?

Hardly a shock. Domestically a great manager but has achieved nothing at European level. For their ambitions to push forward it makes perfect sense.

Well blow me down. Palace are winning!

I only have one concern here. Nicola Cortese has always claimed that he wants Saints to be a self sustaining going concern. If this is about investment funds to push forward then that statement is somewhat redundant. Cortese has always been ambitious, he wants success, a raised profile for Southampton... and therefore his reputation being viewed in glowing terms. He needs money to do it and we havn't got the funds ourselves. Equally Markus' estate now see us as an asset and may be looking for control, when things are going well people will come out of the woodwork and want to be a part of things.... where were they directly after Markus' death? This is a game. Sit back and try to enjoy the view. At least the family do not want to sell us on this basis.

From a fellow city resident, I wish you luck. What has happened to Coventry City FC is a total disgrace.

He needs money for his ambitions. The family do not wish to fully meet the sums....

It would be a disaster if he went. Never dull being a Saints fan!

I see no issue with this....

Fo-real!! Common in ti-fo's yo!!!

You obviously don't remember the Walsall game where we used them then.......

No, there was a thread on here before the game where those travelling contacted each other and sent PM's to introduce themselves ahead of it. Met a couple of other forum members too, was a good evening all in.

Are they learning? The early signs are no....

Sir, I salute you. Get yourself a drink....

He was excellent v Kettering in a pre-season game two summers ago, where Paul Ifil played for the home team. (Met Dune at that game, not what I would otherwise have expected....) He isn't the youngest now (20)... Would love to see him break through but I fear his chance has passed, has now broken into the Wales u21's mind. Maybe a chance off the bench v Stoke?

This is true. I don't fancy our chances in the scrumage. The weight of their pack against our nippers? Looks like we are in for it....

Ebay and Alcohol has resulted in a few randoms. Imagine my surprise when a Skate beany baby turned up one morning. On bonfire night it made an excellent guy.

Oh get a beer and start dancing you silly Bear

It would need a thirteen goal swing at home to Stoke (0-13) AND Wigan winning Twice AND Villa not losing by more then one goal at home to Wigan AND Fulham and Sunderland also winning. #Safe

How about Rickie on indirect free-kicks/corners? Best dead-ball player we have, and thanks to his reputation he is marked out on most of the ones we have currently (not that the deliveries are good enough to find him.....)

The swing required to see us down if Wigan win twice is so improbable that I will happily sing Danny Boy, naked, in the centre circle at half time in our first game next season (probably v Brighton knowing my luck....) if it comes to pass. Stoke play very crude Rugby-esque football, but 0-13 is not going to happen. For what it's worth, I want Wigan to survive.
