Dan Johnson

+1 would love to see him here

I've played for Southampton Junior 1 side Compton for the last 12 years so my attendance to St Marys on Saturdays depends whether I have a game/kick off time/weather. Share a season ticket with my little brother. Also powerlift/bodybuild naturally and once my body gives up football will throw myself into that a little more. Big into my cars, bit of a grease monkey and love boxing so tend to watch allot of that when football season finishes

Is being reported on SSN in there transfer round up that he's joining Arsenal for £12m, source for them is the Daily Mirror

He'll get some serious banter from me if he joins Pompey, I forgave him for puking all over my room when we were watching fun house when we were like 10... dont think I could forgive him for this ;-)

Not only do I feel this is a real signing of intent, I'm also proud that we're targetting young english players

Connolly - Yes if only just for backup. We're short on experience strikers at the level. Gully seems to be deployed as a winger these days. Keep Connolly, get another striker in. Jaidi - Yes/No - I'm not Jaidi's biggest fan, if we're looking to improve the starting 11 then he is certainly where we should start. HOWEVER that all depends on what players are availble, get 1 CB in and we'd probably need to keep him as cover, get 2 in and we can let him go. Harding - Has certainly been improving, although again I think if we're looking to progress then we could probably do better. Butterfield - Same as above really, has been solid although if we want quailty in Gobern - undecided, not seen enough of him to comment really. Martin - Yes and loan him out

I hope they stay up, what a party all the fans would have at SMS :-)

I think we should be looking towards the play offs, if we finish the season just outside them then I'd count that as a good season. I'm really not too fussed about where we finish next season though, I'd say we need at least 2 seasons in the champ to prepare if we're really aiming for the prem

I'm going in 3 weeks... providing there is no more bombings of course, I will report back

...with the keith Lemon Tattoo!! He's on the bus!!!!

I thought Brighton might have been a play off side this season, but all credit to them they've been exceptional! with 14,000 season tickets sold in their new stadium for next season already and a really good manager in charge they can push on next season. A far cry from their dark days. I expect us to finish above them next season if we both get promoted though...

Damn, I'll be in Morroco... next year

Brighton have the same amount of games to play, and we have a bigger squad.

booooooooooooooo

I told a utd supporting friend when Bale first pulled on a Saints shirt that he'd eventually replace giggs at Utd and I think it would be a great move for him, he deserves to play for a big big club, no offense to tottenham, but he's better than that

I have never heard St Marys as loud as when Henri slammed that ball home!!

he was good on Championship manager 97/98

I was going to comment on the game, but instead I'll comment on the utter knobs that are slitting their wrists after a freak result away to a good side! 4 points from 2 tough away games at promotion chasing sides and we're in turmoil!!! FFS there really are some Muppets on this forum

Ricardo Fuller Kevin Davis (2nd time around) Stephen Crainey Paul Telfer

Was gutted when Pardew Left Was underwelmed when Adkins took over After the recent performances I'M ON THE BUS!!!! Nigel ADKINS RED & WHITE ARMY!!!!!!

I thought Holloways comments were pretty funny actually. but honestly who really cares, if he cant handle a few fans taking the **** then maybe the pressure got to him a little bit, if he didnt want it he should have played a stronger side, a side that i'm sure would have probably beaten us, but they have bigger things to worry about, like staying in the premier league. As for Brighton fans always talking about us, it's a bit odd... where has this come from, did they used to do it when we were in the prem? Or is it a jealousy thing since we've fallen from grace and they think we're throwing our weight around a little?

Agreed, he was by far their best player on the day and was the only player that looked likely to make things happen.

As already mentioned on this thread, the man utd team once stayed at the crest hotel in Eastleigh, they were training on fleming park before they began watching the kids games being played that morning. I must have been about 8 or 9? Again over fleming park, we would regularly see Jimmy Case walking his dog, we'd run up to him and talk as he walked his dog, also sometimes sat on the bench and watched us play for half hour or so. Probably about 10 or 12 years ago now. Steve Nicol was best man for a family friend so spent ages taking the **** out of Liverpool, I must have been about 8 at the time so around 1990. I remember Nicol heading to the toilet completely ****ed moaning about how **** Liverpool were... he must have been saying it in jest but I was too young to understand sarcasim at the time. I remember telling all my mates for weeks how he'd said Liverpool were ****... this was the liverpool that used to win everything. Meet James Beattie a few times, nicked a slice of David Pruttons Kebab, Ken Monkou sat next to me at an away game once, Think it may have been Tottenham!? Francis Benali used to live round the corner of a family friend and used to come to the BBQs

Shocking performance today, GULY was ****!!! Lallana couldnt hit a chuffing barn door!!! SO HACKED OFF PS: I had £10 on 5-1 ;-)

Went to the game today my thoughts... Kelvin Davis - 4 - had little to do, but what he did have to do... he did wrong. Surely didn’t help his confidence with 2 poor defenders in front of him Dickinson - 6.5 -Apart from a lazy pass towards the end, was one of our better players, tried to get forward as often as he could Jedi - 4 - he just looks so so uncomfortable on the ball, his defensive tactics just seem to be about bundling people over and being a big lump. In the first half he lost out to at least 3 heads to a guy a foot shorter than him Seaborne - 4 - Looks more composed on the ball than jedi, but defends just as badly, allows players to take a touch and turn before hustling and tackling, too many long balls forward not good enough Butterfield - 6 - solid enough I suppose Chamberlin - 5.5 - looked to use his pace as often as he could, but was marked out the game. Missed a great opportunity and went missing for large periods Spider man - 4 - offered nothing today Hammond - 4 - tried to lead by example and ran around like a headless chicken... only problem is his run is everyone else’s jog!! If you want to try and impose yourself on games you need an all action midfield that can get around the field quickly, Hammond just isn’t that midfielder. To Slow and to lethargic! Lallana – 6 - showed flashes but at times is too “Roy of the rovers” gets his head down, runs straight at goal and then into defenders. Sometimes there’s a ball to be played and he just doesn’t play it. So much still to learn De Ped – 5 – looked interested at times, and completely uninterested at others. Flat footed like most of the team today. We missed barny buzzing around and pulling defenders wide BIG TIME!! Lambert – 6 – played well today, put the running in, won most flick ons, but subsequently he doesn’t have enough pace to put defenders under pressure quick enough and when he won the headers… no one was there to collect them.
