Stu Man Do

Just get the feeling that we are getting overly excited about a player based on his youtube videos! I read the guy has only started 3 games for Inter this season, is that because he's been injured or is his position just blocked by a better player? I would quite like to see us go for Ince and I've always thought Phillips has looked good when playing against us. Been quite proud of the fact our team has come up and now continued to use a good number of home based players not sure I'm keen on a future team full of overseas players like at Chelsea.

For those of you saying this is a standard business issue e.g. Negotiating knowing Nigel is still in the job I'd just like to remind you not to complain if MP ever does the dirty on us and leaves suddenly for bigger and better things. Adkins deserved better from the club no doubt about it, from what I've seen of him he comes across as a man of principals, something which I thought our club had as well. This win at all costs mentality should not be the southampton way.

Unfortunately for the new bloke we have the same tough "start" that Nigel had, both Mancs and an in form Everton, I can see this poor timing change being compounded by 3 defeats in quick succession and the crowd really getting on MPs back.

Didn't have the balls to show his face to the media when welcoming his new employee this afternoon so I'm sure he bottled telling Nigel to his face as well.

The number of times he was there to clear once the ball dropped in our area was amazing. Brilliant distribution again and its noticeable how intelligent he is at picking which tackle to go for at the end of the game there. Well done Capt Morgan ... rums all round!(Because someone had to)

2 good for us when we fail to play our best attacking players. The other week proved we really aren't strong enough to hold off Chelsea defensively I'd much rather have seen us give it a go with Gaston and Ricky. Saving them for a game against another difficult opponent in Everton might not make any difference.

No, this result won't effect the next 18 results. We lost Adam Lallana in a league game against Reading, seems more likely that will help us get relegated than this result. As others have said if we'd played a reserve team against that Chelsea team we'd have lost by 10.

Gave them too much time and space once they got the equaliser. Thought we were the better side up until then which can only bode well for us going on to the rest of the season. Just a better team than us no shame in being down at half time to a few hundred million pounds worth of talent especially with no AL, Ramirez or Lambert. Id take off jwp play Lambert up top and put Jay in behind him ala Stoke.

I'm sure I read he's available as there wasn't time to hear his appeal due to there not being a clear 2 working days between sats game and today. His appeal is tomorrow I think, no doubt it will get over turned though. Seemed to me that he was sent off more for the intent to stamp rather than the actual connection or lack of!

Personally feel we should give the stoke line up another chance, Arsenal always seem to be dire against Stoke and we've already seen how trying to out Arsenal, Arsenal ended up! Ramirez on for the last 20 if we're still in with a chance.

I'd hope that if this was going to happen its been pretty much done BEFORE the window opens. Don't want another Ramirez saga which stops us going after the other players we actually need e.g. A winger during this window. I really don't know much about this fella does anyone know if he's in or around the Italian squad?

Serious question, do you actually know he hasn't been offered a new deal or is it just something you suspect because we've heard nothing official?

Personally wouldn't mind this if his wages weren't the no doubt silly levels. Could do a good job still and as someone else said role model for the younger midfielders. Never going to happen though!

Utter mornonic behaviour o boo one of our own. Guy came on did a decent job as he has in basically every game he's played it's season only o have idiots boo him, we'll done! We as fans expect loyalty from our boys yet apparently can't give it back. Some of his goals last season have us where we are today, show some respect and support in future. Judge on his game by game play not by some silly grudge you have from the last game you happened to be there for or your daft mates explain to you.

Charlie you are talking out of your backside my friend. Lambert won the majority of his headers granted not his best ever game but far from the shambles you are projecting! This is the way we should have played reading for the title last season perfect game play by us today. As for the muppet skiving Guly crap today ... Grow up! I don't care how bad you consider a player has been every player that comes on for saints deserves our full support not to be mocked.

Adam Blackmore on twitter saying he expects Ramirez to be on the bench and mentions injuries to change the team so possibly shaw as mentioned on here? I'm half expecting to see Boruc pop up as well.

Aw fair enough! I did think it was a bit odd for us to boo Jos who IMO has been pretty unlucky!

Amazing :-D Very happy! Some of that play was Barcelona-esque ;-) That bit in the second half where we went all the way down the side line nearest the dug out with about 6 passes and had a shot looked great. Rodriguez goal looked pretty onside to me and that the Gazzinga save will not have done his confidence any trouble! Shame some idiots booed Jos as he came on I am actually pleased to see him get some minutes as hes a top bloke and we're bound to need him at some point this year. I do however wonder what Mayuka has to do to get a sub appearance at the moment!? Some of the through balls we were playing only he had a chance at getting!

Not sure you will be able to get a radio link as previous poster said. Radio Solent don't stream it over the internet due to a rights issue. If you have I swifter on your iPad though you could watch a flash stream on something like http://www.wiziwig.tv with that but I can't guarentee the quality!

Quick question ... When will the writ be coming through for the 90 minutes Guly sat on the bench away to Everton? ;D

My team for Saturday ... Boruc (if available) Clyne---------Fonte ------------ Yoshida ------------- Fox (its bound to happen) Cork------------- Schniederlin-----------Guly (I think he would toughen up the left hand side as my reasoning) Ramirez---------------Lallana Lambert I think we need to toughen up the midfield and Guly can put in a challenge on a good day and isn't a little powder puff midget. I'd like to see Morgan get forward a bit more so our mids aren't pulled right back against our defence so we have no out balls. I'd probably tell one of the CM's to sit in front of the defence so we don't end up playing a ridiculous 2-8 when we go forward and get caught out again like on Monday. I'd like to see GM and AL get a chance to show who is best in the 10 position! Gotta stick with Lambert I think as seems to be our only instinctive striker atm, a man who can take a chance if it comes about! As for Fox, utter garbage but I can't see Nige putting in Shaw for a full game. I suspect there is a key flaw in my plan that one of you cleverer people will pick out for me but hey nothing Nigels doing is coming out right either so I will be in good company ;-) My big worry is that Swansea play decent football and we'll get caught out trying to play them off the park :-( Desperately need a win COYR's!

Can I just say this is utterly, without doubt, the dumbest most stupidest and special thing I have ever heard on this forum! "Please FA let us drop out of league football (our whole purpose for which we are designed to do) and let us come back next season" Aside from the financial situation just no.

Why oh why have we made no subs? Surely Mayuka couldn't be doing any worse? Is it worth seeing if shaw can do a job?

If nothing else I hope that Adkins realises that AL is not captain material. Don't know about the players but he isn't inspiring me much! As others have said leaving us too exposed on the flanks and his crap interchanges with fox are getting embarrassing. If you're going to cross Danny do it from 10yrds further up the field at least so it won't just float nicely to foster!!!

Anyone know why it's taken more than a week to sort out this Boruc stuff? Seems that it could have been dealt with by now but hoping gazza will play a blinder.
