Shearer and Dowie

Hyped up too soon, believed the hype, one of the dangers of bringing in young players too soon. He will bounce back, but probably needs some time out of the team and out of the spotlight. I didn't see him do anything yesterday.

Was it Motty? He was at the game today, being fawned all over. Perhaps he is going to take us over now that he has given up commentating...

Still at least they were there for 70 minutes, the team didn't turn up at all. Noice in the Itchen North was pretty good, especially in the first half. Quite honestly the atmosphere was dead adfter Charlton scored the second. Did the Northam make any noise today, cos we didn't hear much of them. Course it could just be the acoustics.

Sounded like it was quite full when I booked my ticket a few minutes ago in Block 2. I guess because I'm going "Billy No Mates" tomorrow they fitted me in.

No, no, no, thats like an invitation to Lowe to come back:mad:

Didn't know they were literate

You are wrong as noted already, but we could be Southampton County Seriously though Southampton St Marys it should be, and we should play in red and white as per the original team. I think our nickname ought to be Saints. I like history. Please whatever else, not AFC Southampton.

Hope not, we could get those Cash in the Attic folks round and auction it for a tenner, every little helps

LOL. Club goes into administration due to the fans. You are joking right? Nothing to do with the appalling football, the results, the terrible decisions made by board and semi-pro coach. We are customers, as your lord and master has made clear many times, as customers we have a right to be treated reasonably and be provided with goods/services of merchantable quality. If customers have deserted Saints temporarily then the blame sits fairly and squarely on the sloping shoulders of Wilde and Lowe. The Bank has finally seen the light and realised that 2 failed business men are not fit to run this Club.

Are we in Administration now then? The Echo says we are so I guess we must be. As for Wilde, try to show some sense of contrition, you are the main reason why we are in the **** now, not just for what you did after Lowe lead us to relegation but by compunding the error by letting Lowe back in. You are a bigger problem in my view than even Lowe.

It was on BBC Breakfast News on TV this morning just after 8am, it was only the web site that had nothing until a little while ago. Their source is evidently the Skegness Standard

To be pedantic, its not the FA, its the Football league that have the Admin rules. Eikther way it will amount to the same thing, 10 points this season and at least 10 points next as well. Why didn't the 2 idiots force this last week, nothing has changed since last Thursday.

Exactly why business experts should not run football clubs. If they were football experts they would see otherwise.

Is Exeter any more inland than Southampton? Theres not a lot of difference. Exeter is also further south than Southampton. You cannot really argue with geography.

No they didn't. It was 2 years ago. They lost out in the play-ofss last season. Pedantic about them not being south coast, they are as much south coast as Weymouth. The "south coast" means that, the southern coast of England. Agree that Plymouth should count as well, and they aren't doing too well either.

Torquay are doing OK, though they missed the chance to go 2nd today.

I see Dexter has joined Forest, could be somewhat galling to have him score against us on the last day

Doesn't really imply that, it could more accurately suggest it is the last one. Could be that we staged the payments, and we still owe 100k.

Sort of feel insulted that MLT is considered a maverick because he played for Saints all his career. He wouldn't have been thus if he had played for Manure or Arse from start to end. The article is almost saying that MLT must be a bit of a plonker to have stayed at Saints. Tripe.

Doubt it, with the possible exception of Chester the 10 point deductioin would not make much difference to the others. Stockport are comfortable mid table, Charlton and Cheltenham are as good as down, Darlo are mid-table, Bournemouth are already in admin.

Depending on what he was shouting at the ref then it could be a crime. We all shout at refs to some extent I'm sure, I know I do, but its not usually as pointed as this seems to have been. One of the reasons why the game is dying at grass roots level in this country is because of the abuse referees (and linos) are given. So even if its not a crime perhaps some people need to at least understand about Respect.

No to mention Aldershot...

Wonder if the ego on legs will ever reach 107 league goals (ok, some were for Accrington Stanley before they rejoined the League) - another 80 to go, maybe he will. Given Brett's horrendous injuries over the years thats not a bad tally for someone who is crap. Made a lot of goals for Beatts when he was with us, even if he didn't score many himself. I see he is quoted on wiki (from the BBC) as saying "I had some of the best years of my career at Southampton. Its a big club with great supporters." Pity some "supporters" don't have the grace to at least acknowledge his contribution

Don't know, but would guess we'll have a better idea next season
