dont worry mike ashleys supposed to be intrested

players have glow in the dark shirts on maybe?......whatever next the need for video evidence?

Wow yes didnt see that at this stage of the season..........i think their mentality is one of lets be strong and battle for the team. They dont seem to have any thing different to the model of squad they had in the championship. I remember when we got promoted we just tinkered about abit but it wasnt until i think the following season we started to try and establish bigger named players. I still think Les Reid and the other idiots we had, that were on a good whack on the gravey train got lucky early on with Koeman ,but thereafter its all gone terribly wrong throughout the whole of the club and not just players. Uncle Les as some call him was and should have been accountable for over seeing the bigger picture of whats in the future and not offered such ludicrous contracts just to make a splash headline for himself and unwanted claims that were doing it the Southampton way. What way? .What we are left with now is the legacy of inept miss management and lack of ambition ,and HEART. Theres no more passion or atmosphere at St Marys on home games anymore .Theres nothing inspiring to want the fans to cheer about.Dreary side to side pass back, side to side pass back side to side oppps been intercepted tackle panic foul hoof ball. Its just dreeadful to contemplate right now and there seems very little in the way of getting excited by or about,sad really, still angry and passionate but ,maybe its an age thing im 59 been a Saints fan since my uncles took me to home games from Basingstoke in the 60s ,cried when we got relegated alongside Manchester United and cried again when we won the cup in 76.Been through tough times supporting the Saints but im now finding myself numb to these sort of results ,not sure what season ticket holders must be thinking. Whats the solution?....is there one? or are we just going through the inevitable this season?.........rant over,seems Chelsea do have some talented players who can be trusted afterall good to see,where are ours?

Do we not have another left back at our club other than sulky bertrand? ....whats happend to McQueen?.......square pegs round holes yet again ........all week you look at the smilling faces and fun they all seem to be having on the trainning pitches and suddenly when it comes to match day they freeze. Dont see any formation that we could possibly use to stave of the seemigly enevitable atm. We are now 3 wins away from saftey and its looking very grim indeed no positives for the fans to take away with them today apart from a complimantary scarf....wow.We show no pressure and were at home .

Its going to be the same result saturday.just depends on whether or not Man city want to score for fun,we are still bang awful no spirit at all. City put out some reserve players for sure and we still couldnt get anywhere near them. Tbh not looking forward to the next home game against an inconsistant everton,who unlike us on thier day could be very difficult to beat because we lack confidence. Btw do we have another left back?...thought McQueen was good enough for the spot , or is he still injured?

Hey he saw history in top flight english football

And we were at home thats all i keep thinking on today ,our home form over the last few seasons is well,absolutly appauling. How do you season ticket holders put up with it ,watching millionaire footballers of our club turn in at best average performances hoping to intise the crowd to participate in come on you Saints etc....but how do you motivate yourself to beat your chest and try to motivate the players likewise when they dont seem to enjoy themselves making a living chassing a leather object around the park. We as fans should not have to endure such rubbish churned out week in week out for the last 3-4 managers is there any wonder why theres no bloody atmosphere? whats to get excited about................... on the positive side of things.................................................................................................................................there arnt non sadly.

Just hope all your thoughts about the forthcoming season are true and we servive,but get back to sensible team selections and ditch Gunn.

If i was RH id go with your pick .....makes sense but why dosent the manager think so ?............comes up with square peg teams that seem to loose their way.

Well if there was any room for thinking we arent in trouble think again ....with **** poor planning and all week to do it we just shoot ourselves in the foot once more. Phuck were in the ****e now and that to be fair was a winnable game as should have been the Spurs one .Lack of leadership on the field again ...oh for a Steve Davies type player now.Admitidly the games changed alot again as for the physical side of things but we are too soft and nice to play against.

here here well said ...stop making stupid team placements and do the job properly and not trying to be cleaver for the crack of it.

he came on with 11 mins left what were you hoping for?............our squad is slowly settling down for abumpy close to relegation season again i think we lack decisive movement up front subs made no impact and no options for those already on the pitch.woeful tbf.

yes exactly the line up apart from gunn surley hes too flat footed like forster.

and so the other 17000 also got battered

Wow 15 out of 60 and theres the reason for the lack of atmosphere at St .Marys right there.

Our goalscoring issues arise when the opertunity seem to be pressented to the wrong player ,who for whatever reason seems to loose composure at the wrong time ,or they choose the wrong type of finishing technique. Its so frustrating that the few good ones we get are often wasted.

They will out sing us throughout the entire match and we will be like good quite church mice , just like at St Marys nothing here to sing about ............uummmm.

I made a post about how useless Carrillio was ,was i right?.........i got slated for it uuummmm ..tick for me i think,but i do think Che will prove a good buy, my other concern is theres a lack of depth in the attackers, atm Obafemi seems to be very injury prone himself atm not looking to promissing for the lad atm, having been out since Arsenal game last season,dosent seem to be able to shrug of hamstrings.

it was Fulhams second string ffs dont get carried away there.....we gave plenty of early chances ....

lol we had to buy him aswell.......

how do you know this?............

Nice viewpoint.....too much money for players at clubs like ours to really appreciate the home fan too much,and corperate fans well its just a tax deduction and a day out surley?

So when our fans start singing "when i was just a boy "etc etc....the part where it says "shoot the P.....S" should we now delete those words?.... or is it just directed at players?

yes theres one in basingstoke........
