Stu Man Do

Did well to make it to 246 after that start but seems like anything that was in the pitch has disappeared with Essex currently 70-1. What has happened to our form in the last few weeks? Also does anyone know why Shah seems to have been ditched from the T20 team? Thought he did well when he played and having that experience in the middle overs ala Mckenzie is sorely missed at the moment.

Read on a Cardiff forum they we're debating whether or not they would accept 10 million plus Fonte for Marshall ... Deluded much!? Good keeper but if we pay anywhere north of 8 million for a keeper especially a just relegated one we've been mugged!

Some of the helmets tweeting him about going with pretty flimsy evidence need to have a word with themselves. Telling him to F off is hardly going to want to make him to stay now is it?

People keep trotting this out with regards to players including Shaw and Lallana on here and now Fonte? If he is easily replaceable with better why has he survived here for 4 years as a first team player despite a number of other CB's coming in?! Madness, deserves a new contract as does Cork. Sort it out board!

Perhaps I'm being thick but I was under the impression that you could only discuss personal terms with a club once a deal has been agreed with the selling club? Be nice if all the "ITK" Journo's talked United into a tapping up charge though ;-) If he does go for 30 million we have to ensure its not based on appearances etc. Money now or see you later Louis!

That Blackmore tweet makes this even more annoying! We've been forced into selling someone under value because Liverpool say they'd move on otherwise? I'm more concerned though about the impact selling Rickie has on the dressing room team spirit that seems to have been our trademark over the last few years. All well and good talking of boyhood teams but it's barely a month since Lambert was talking of being a saints fan.

4 million for a club legend? What price relegation if this is what we have to look forward to with this board.

I'd say the Keegan boost would be moderate with this bunch of players most of which would have still been at school the last time he actually managed anyone! Think we need to be looking for, dare I say it "the next mopo" style manager. Who he is though I'm not entirely sure!

Not sure you can go that far, he showed flashes of a half decent player, spurs at home as well as villa he looked alright. Not sure he'll make it here though, bit of an odd signing really.

So it's looking a lot like Liverpool will be the new owners of the southampton team next season then right? What's that now 70 odd million of spending on saints players!?

How did we not get a penalty for that handball?! The shout at the end with Clyne looked worth a replay at the very least! On another note was that co-commentator the most one sided one of the season?! Today goes to show just how important J-Rod has been to us in recent times, surely a valid case for bringing through one of the youth team boys with a bit of pace? Rowe, Simms or Sinclair for a bench spot maybe?

Congrats to both the guys but I have a sneaky feeling it'll be either Gerrard if they win the league or Suarez otherwise and I think Barkley will win the young player on the basis that he seems to be getting even more hype than Luke

Glasgow if you know all the answers why bother asking the questions? You sneer at every suggestion of aiming above our "natural"level yet surely that's part of being a professional sports team? If we didn't aim to be top of every league we were in whats the point of taking part?! Let's hope we do seriously try and make the top four and if it does happen by being an organically grown team all the better!

Instead of just being the clichéd troll why not actually respond to the question I asked you? Utterly arrogant and hardly saintly response from your good self.

What exactly would you have done differently then Alps? We were disappointing but with what we had on the bench I'm not sure what else we could have changed. Think we probably have to put this down to "one of them days" and be grateful that its a game that essentially had nothing riding on it. Thought Lovren had a funny 10 mins and along with Clynes error that rocked us badly. JWP as a centre mid? Not sure on that one myself but how many people would have been happy with Reed playing the 90 mins?

Don't know if this is helpful to any one else but this site was pretty useful for me. They deal with many of the different companies such as parking eye with ideas on how to appeal and win ... Apparently. http://www.parkingcowboys.co.uk/popla/

And you'd take Begovic despite the fact he allowed a cross shot to bounce over him?

Surprised any Saints fans would bother to follow him. Constantly hours behind any half decent hacks or in fact completely wrong! Lets not forget just a couple of weeks ago his headline was that we were in melt down! How's that story working out Alex?

How exciting not. 4 times against them this season! Yawn.

Almost as bad as that Alex Crook guy. What a poor standard of journalism there is about nowadays! "I assume this" , "My source tells me that". Just report the facts chaps , we're all capable of having a guess!

Serious question can you think of ONE example of where you have actually seen one of our players call the ref anything like that, somewhere in the recent past if you will! Can think of plenty of Rooney occasions on Motd but can't remember a saints player ever getting caught out swearing directly at the ref.

Apart from the fact the saints press officer tweeted that Clattenburg had told him he'd seen it and had decided it wasn't a peno? If he didn't see it that's just part of the game but you'd have to question why an official of the club would lie about something like that. If what's been reported is accurate though it does sound a bit weak for the club to argue the toss over, much better to have highlighted the numerous poor decisions the refs made in our games in the last year or so.

I thought they started to record referees conversations during games after his last problem with the Chelsea game. Can imagine this should be cleared up pretty quickly! Surely if whatever Adam said to The ref was that bad he could have simply booked him again?!

Would reckon that if fit, Guly will most definitely get on the bench again before the year is out. Handy squad player if nothing else and although people moan about *THAT* "challenge" at FP he's been decent for us.

I will always remember that one time where his long throw actually worked for us vs Sunderland. I was there. Heady days indeed. Oh yeah his goal vs Spurs was also pretty good!
