Ha ha - I don't get many compliments so will frame that one (You were half right... I don't read a newspaper these days...)

I wonder how Moyles' preparations for the game are coming on...

TalkSport just about to discuss the "Situation at Southampton"

MLT hates Cortese. Should we caveat his words too?

People from both 'sides' have been latching onto the media bun fight. Six of one and half a dozen of the other. Just an opinion mind you so discard as you see fit

'Reason' is merely a human concept so fill your boots...

But let me guess which reason a lot of people will latch onto and blow out of proportion....

A significant portion of the posts on here in the last 48 hours have been latching onto what the media have been saying so I would venture a fair few "give a f***' how the club is portrayed. Just a hunch.

I hear what people are saying in that chanting Nigel's name is a mark of respect for the man rather than anyone having a pop at the new manager. You get that, I get that, we all get that. However, you can bet your bottom dollar that Sky and the rest of the media will spin it to create a "Fans don't get behind the new manager" sensationalist storyline. It's what the media does best...whipping up storms....

If I can lay my hands on a time machine any chance you can pop back to the 80s and have a chin wag with Arthur Scargill for me? Cheers

Who's this Grant geezer...? Amid rumours of possible protests, Saints fan Steve Grant, who runs SaintsWeb, Southampton's largest internet forum, said Pochettino could expect it to be a far from straight-forward start. Grant warned: 'As far as I am concerned he will have my support but there will be a lot of fans who will take the view that he has got to earn their support. It is going to be difficult given the run of games we have coming up.

Anyone else thinking that Pompey missed a trick on Friday....? They had a superb opportunity to liquidate without us obsessed nutjobs noticing and they blew it....

I'll do what Nigel Adkins himself would advocate fans should do in this situation...

The same wall-to-wall positivity we used to get from Adkins and the players over the last 2 years then? Plus ca change.

Are we talking team selection here or overall club strategy?

I've not seen (m)any people posting that it was handled well.

Yep, agree with that

Very good read. Does what the press have failed to do - look beneath the surface.

Fair enough

No one knows if it's the right decision....yet

Head of company has ego shocker....
