Stu Man Do

Cant be any worse than mcgoldrick really can he! Personally id go for Davis James Perry New Dutch dude Skacel BWP Euell Surman Holmes Lallana Saganowski Subs: Bart Moleyneux White Smith Gasmi

Nice to see our vaunted young "stars" of the future have been tied down to long term deals :-p

No one ... how about we all put in a couple of quid at the next home game should pay off his contract. After all he is the cheap option right!

Only mentions he "might not" play Ronaldo but as already known tevez, ferdinand and evra definately not playing. I wouldnt be suprised to see utd with a mix of 1st teamers and youngsters who have already been around the 1st team like silva or wellbeck, with an extra strong bench on the off chance DMG manages to blag us a goal in off his arse! Id go for; Davis James Lancashire Perry Molyneux Holmes Surman Spiderman Skacel DMG BWP

Just to hijack this thread ... Anyone know which pubs, if any, are showing the game in the town centre? Thanks :-D

Hate to be a pedant ... but the Leicester cup game was a 3-2 win. They came back from 2-0 down. Ive no idea how well or badly smith played though!

Surely it would have been a percentage of any further profit chelsea made on bridgey? So lets say 10% on 5 million, even so yes a useful amount of money but seeing as we got million up front for him + Le saux's wages subsidised I imagine we've sort of had our moneys worth out of them. Does anyone know if Chelsea funded any of Cork's wages?

I noticed Duffy (Right back) at Portsmouth is supposedly off on a free, had lots of championship experience with various loans and played at Swansea before that. Can't comment on how good he is anyone else got any idea?

Wanting administration? Yep that seems like a reasonable thing to say, nothing would stop Lowe buying back in on the cheap ala Ken Bates at Leeds and then we're back to square one except on minus points and in a lower division. I appreciate your right to an opinion Stanley but at least have a considered one! Lets face it can you see saints doing a leeds and knocking off those 15 points in quick time or doing a bournemouth and taking till xmas leading to another inevitable relegation?

Fortunately were not on Sky heart says we could up it and shock everyone with a draw head says anything that doesnt start Southampton nil will be a good result! Lets hope they treat us in a complacent manner and we have spiderman back!

Don't think he has the fans either any longer which IMO is probably worse and should lead to him getting the boot ... it wont though, but would be nice to think that if you do a crap job for OUR team you shouldn't be kept on! The team for today was a complete joke and if that clown comes on after sundays defeat and bleats about too many games in a few days he should be laughed off the air. I thought we'd seen the last of stupid excuses and dumb team selections when we brought in Pearson, cracking job on his non renewal Mr Lowe! I see something like 8 of our players today have less than 10 games at League standard, can't say I was suprised to see us lose, I dont expect us to steam roll anyone really but some heart, effort and passion would be nice.

Cant say I agree on Thompson seems abit of a waste of a team place but frankly at the moment who isnt?!

Feckin hell ... there are people in the Chapel end ... it all went wrong once they stopped going! :-( happy memory there though!

Some people on here do talk some crap ... http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/attendance?league=ENG.2&year=2008&&cc=5739 Average attendance for us is 16,000 odd overall for the league its 17,000 and a bit.

Personally I think AL is a bit overated by many on here ... 2 million plus? have a word he hasnt even performed as well as Drew this season. Drifts in from his wide position, loses the ball lots and seems to faff around to a great extent. I see it this way KD - 1 million tops hes not going to be going for much more than we brought him certainly AS - 2.5 million - 3 million saying that if Ledley is supposedly worth 6 million drew isnt far short of him and IS scoring goals this season (5 so far) AL- I think we'd be lucky to take anything near 2 million for him as he is no doubt seen as a gamble by any top flight side e.g. not ready yet with no guarentee he would push on.

Really? I'm pretty certain he'd just promote Mark Wotte, lets not forget he was going to appoint him as boss before we signed up the messiah, sorry no I mean George Burley.

What is this 4 man midfield and 2 men up front combination you speak of?

Granted but you'd expect him with a team who create a majority of chances or at least in a team where most chances fall to him he should have scored more. Lets not forget this guy scored 40 something goals a season in youth team football,Chances dont get harder just because hes moved up to the first team!

a "**** lazy" so an so with an end product though! No one cares how hard you work if you're banging the goals in, look at Stern or Rasiak no one was really moaning when they were scoring one of their 5 chances a game. MCG just doesnt have anywhere near that ratio in fact hes had something like 50 shots and scored what? 8 goals? Doyle has 15 goals from something like 38 shots this term.

****age, yeah the last thing we possibly need is extra money for the club so that we cant afford to not sell our players. Administration would also be good ... maybe to be announced just after we lose 25-0 with wayne wooooooooney scoring 20 idiot

If Scott Carson can get a game ...

Would it not make more sense to offer those on general sale in blocks, say for example if you go to the Sheff Weds game you could buy first if you buy Sheff Weds and Another you get the first tickets after members? May be a better way to attract some extra people through the turnstiles as im not sure THAT many people would really shell out their 15 quid or whatever it is for membership just for one game against a team that will pretty damn certainly will wallop us.

Actually I think thats a fook up by the beeb we had 19 points before this game and now have 21 according to them ... old style football points system? lol Well we are still above Watford I think and 4 points away from Charlton Id take that at the end of the season though I'd like to hope we can end mid table at least.

during the germany game i kept telling myself shaun was bradley ... maybe it was the duck waddle run or the shots that kept missing but with form like this lets get carried away ... All English southampton players for england =]

You can honestly see results leading to us getting rid of Lowe? Relegation didnt seem to get rid of him, face facts were stuck with him as long as he keeps his buddies on his good side. The only person we will get rid of anytime soon is JP and based on the fact we cant really afford a new manager even he is pretty close to bullet proof atm.
