Lee Barnard, Barnard He's short and he's f*cking hard He's wanted by Scotland Yard Lee Barnard, Barnard best one yet

best one yet!

Saw him out on the **** in Southampton last night...could mean anything I suppose

Phil Brown - Does love a tan, and we're closer to france than most. You have to worry! Zola - I reckon he could still play, anyone have a spare pair of size 3s? Paul Hart - 3 clubs in a year, he's making Steve Coppell look good! Iain Dowie - 3rd Ugliest man in football, after Luke Chadwick and Tevez, Could scare the team into life. Chris Coleman - Something about his face annoys me, it's like too smooth?! Tony Mowbray - He's a pretty good manager to be fair, even if he did struggle with Celtic... but then they're **** Eddie Howe - Stabililty? He's that young he could manage us for the next 30 years!!! Gary Megson - Would suffer exactly the same problems he did at Bolton Alan Shearer - Always thought he'd make an exceptional manager though. If we did well he'd be off to newcastle in a flash! Kevin Blackwell -Wouldnt be the end of the world I suppose Tony Adams - Gabala FC are a much bigger club than we are... I mean they're paying him £1m a ****ing year!!! Paul Tisdale - maybe Gareth Southgate - I didnt like the Pizza Hut advert he did Chris Coleman - He's on the list twice, maybe thats why I dont like him, he's 2 faced... boomboom Paul Ince - The Guv'nor, or as I like to call him The C*nt is simply not welcome! Paul Jewell - yeah I'd take him

Martin every single day of the week. As strange as this may sound, Jaidi was one of the reasons we played so badly on Saturday. I dont doubt the need to have an absoulte unit in defence in this league, and in that respect Jaidi is perfect, but at the same time if every single time he gets the ball he just smashes it up field then it's no real advantage. Jaidi would be perfect if he done the things he done well (like throwing his body in the way) then when he wins the ball just play it short to Fonte, but it doesnt, it goes long, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! For that reason I want to see Martin there, he has the ability

He was stood right in front of a few 6 or 7 year olds in the front row, blocking their view for some of the first half, it wasnt until someone had a pop and told him to move that he got out their way.

Dont read the Sun anyway and honestly couldnt care what they say about us.

Being privy to a handful of inside information I can say I’m saddened but not concerned. I am led to believe that we weren’t going to be spending a great deal of money in this transfer window because of the previous £8 Million investment in the first team last season, from a “Southampton Fan” perspective Markus’ sad death doesn’t really change the position of the club and its strength within the division. We will continue to look at free transfers (players like Vassal & Benjani) and put faith in some very good young players as was the plan for this season. I also believe, and this is purely speculation on my part, nothing more, that Cortese will almost take a “Proxy ownership” of the club, working on behalf of the beneficiary to for fill Markus’ wish of Premier League football, and then will look in to selling the club. I think we can all make up our own minds about Cortese, and why I am absolutely positive that he does rub a few people up the wrong way, having a strong and focused leader at the helm during this difficult time will only further strengthen our position. I can only see Markus’ death as further motivation for success in that sense. This really really should serve to unite the fan base now, from a personal point of view Markus’ death was sad, but even more so it opened my eyes to the fact that my own dad (who is only 4 years younger than Markus) may not have that long left , and that’s a thought that petrifies me. Some things are more important than football, but football is very much one of the biggest things me & my dad share, and when you think about it, the best thing about going to football is the enjoyment you share with those you love and those around you. Very few things in life can bring people together like football does, and football, Southampton Football club in particular, has and will continue to bring me and my dad together. Markus’ death for me has made me realise what is important, forget about the politics, and let’s get back to enjoying the football with those we love. Let us saviour and appreciate every second of it. Life really is too short, winning the league this year for Markus will be a fitting tribute, and when god forbid I lose my own dad, it will be a moment in my life that I will be able to look back on with immense happiness as something we shared and something I will never ever forget, and I will remember, it was Markus that allowed that moment to happen because of his investment and what he has done for this club, he’ll hold a special place in my heart for doing that and I will never ever forget it, that’s the way to remember him and that, above all else, is what we should be aiming for. COYR!

I seem to remember one of our scouts mentioning that he spotted javier saviola at a very young age but they couldnt get a work permit... read it in the echo I think

I think its more to do with the fact he is dealing with footballers... and money talks! How confident should he be if we are trying t o sign a player who is also being tracked by prem clubs?

I rate Holmes and if he can stay fit "He'll be like a new signing, core blimey yes he will"

I'm not alarmed or annoyed... frustrated maybe but certainly not disappointed. I'm positive that it's every managers intention to sign the players they want as soon as they can to give them adequate time to work with them pre season, surely that’s just common sense. However, what can you do if the players you have highlighted are simply not available yet or have chosen to move to other clubs? We certainly don’t want to get into the habit of signing players "just for the sake of it" I'm sure no one is more frustrated with the way its progressed thus far than pardew... I mean it’s not like he has to wait around for frees... he has money to spend. The transfer market has been slow in all divisions up till this point, because of the world cup, and that does have a domino effect to the lower leagues, clubs are reluctant to release players until they have replacements and if we assume the majority of clubs are trying to sign players better than they already have, then no real movement will start until the big boys start selling players.

Cortese is absoultely right, the FL surrendered with a whimmper, this is another move that will just further expand the gap between the premier league/top of championship & the lower leagues. Another example of throwing money at the problem!!

According to Wiki he is off to Napoli, also already had 1 full cap for Argentina already!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Zuculini

This has cheered me up no end, we should have a joke thread every monday!

Ian Hollaway has had to say this http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11728_6235679,00.html Shortly after Tony Pulis said the same, look at what transfers have already gone ahead this summer and the answers are MINIMAL Be cool young grasshooper

Come on, they're not that bad. Dont get me wrong I wouldnt want them at St marys, but at the world cup they're alright! I would say that though, I have one

This club makes me sick - the pies are **** - one of the turnstylees last year had a chip that wasnt repainted for 3 MONTHS!!! - the pub down the road sells **** red wine - Stadiums on the bloody flight path of Eastligh airport.. great oppertunity for terrorists! - one of the big screens has had a few dead pixels for at least 2 seasons now!!! - I've seen women by yorkies at halftime (Says on the packet not for girls!) - we STILL havent signed Rudi Bloody Skacel!!

Apprentley We are after Carsten Jancker and Paul Merson

Quiet surprised there wasn't more saints goals in it this season.

Can't see this myself, but I'd love it if we signed him... Love it!!! In fact, would probably be the most exciting signing since we signed Kevin Phillips!!!

He's not a Saints fan, he's a Rangers fan. He always told me that if he had the chance to play for us again then he would, whether that's still the case I dont know I havent seen him for a few months now

Surman would be an assist at this level, what he lacks in pace he makes up with application. I think the reason he's struggled to make an impact at a high level is because the game is passing him by, if you dont play through him, then you have to play past him. However, at this level where the game is slower his quailty would show. He'll play with his head up, pick out a pass and will allow other players the freedom to create. Very similair to matthew Oakley in that respect.
