I don't think so, we got relegated with a far better squad than we have now. This squad, with Russell managing, even with your suggested additions, would be absolute cannon fodder in the prem.

I’m looking forward to it, Cardiff have a very noisy support which should help the game and atmosphere.

The tetchy interview is nothing to do with Adam Blackmore's interview technique but everything to do with Martin's defensiveness of his football philosophy, he seems unable to comprehend the footballing world at large aren't blown away by his brand.

63% possession, yay!

I feel very self satisfied in deciding not to go tonight. Maybe I’ll regret it after the second half???

You are quite the little agitator these days Bad TWAR Wolf

I just did a google, looks like its not unique to Saints and may have been a Bristol City song, Plymouth song and Birmingham??? amongst others amongst others.

Christ on a bike, 90 mins of two teams passing around endlessly and aimlessly in their own halves, waiting for the opportunity.

I always thought that was a nod to Mick Channon, and his Wurzelese manner of speaking, I seem to recall a line "my names Mike..." but I could have dreamt hat.

I thought it was a bloke, until she spoke

I Disagree on the first point, we have been fortunate at times, games that have gone our way could easily have gone the other. I don’t know what your second point has to do with anything, we are having an “ok” season, I’ve even enjoyed the odd game, but “ok” won’t be enough at the end of the season. I think we are entitled to expect a bit more. Anyway, let’s put that one down to a post international hangover, six points to play for this week, get those points in n the bag same we’ll all feel much better.

Not just an impression. I’m pretty sure he actually said that’s exactly what he’d do when he “needed to”. He’s very much wedded to Russball, so we are stuck with unfortunately.

We have scraped a lot of wins and draws recently we didn’t especially deserve. I’ve enjoyed the ride, but I think it’s just as likely yesterday will be the start of a period of more mediocrity.

It doesn't go far enough, Portsmouth shut down with the exception of Gunwharf, which will be annexed become known as Southampton Waterfront East.

And an Obelix, it still Gauls me now!

Cool story Charles.

I think the difference in our opinions here is you are possibly basing your judgement on last season, playing in a dysfunctional team with 3 appalling managers, (having said that NJ seemed to get the best out of him). The season before his 12 goal contribution kept us up. As I said in a post above, I watch whu regularly, just to watch him. Having decent committed players around him, and players making intelligent runs is giving him the opportunity to show of his true ability. Just my opinion of course.

A tireless box to box midfielder 100% attendance record Incisive passing (A lot of his assists are not from corners) Consummate professional A lot of his assists are not from corners A ridiculously cheap acquisition in today's market

Not for me, I make a point of watching WHU games now just to watch him and I take pleasure in his success.

you have to name and shame, or at least provide some clues, you can't leave us hanging like that, its against the rules!

Nearly paid off though, if Dier's goal counted it would have been interesting.

Puel not picking his strongest team for the Europa run

As an aside, I'd be interested to know who has changed screen name from what to what? I'm sure some of the posters haven't disappeared, just re branded. Likewise who has multiple accounts.

Yes, I do. I don’t mind the championship , I’m actually enjoying it here and there, but we need to get back up asap, there is a fine line between enjoying comparative success in the championship, bolstered a sprinkling of premier league quality players, a few loans who will probably be destined for a premier league return and the benefit of the parachute payment, and the footballing oblivion that could be not too far away.

Deffo needs to shut his pie-hole and let the performances do the talking!
