Bad Wolf

Do we? Because Jones and his coaching staff had just signed 5 year contracts only a few months before coming to us. We'd have had to have stump up for compensation for them all. Whether you like Jones or not, the notion that he's somehow the cheap option is total crap.

We could win the quadruple and our fans would be whinging about our "lack of ambition" and "cheap board"

Pop to ivybridge for a game!

Never thought I'd see the day (tomorrow) where Saints enter a major league cup semi final and it not isn't even the most crucial activity of said day.

Edouard is doing okay at Palace isn't he?

Dembele would be an outstanding signing. Possibly one of our best since promotion when relative to the situation we were in at the time.

I get that but I got into football the summer of 2005. Just after we were relegated. I longed to see us in the top flight just once and I was elated when we did it...Now I'm sick to the back teeth of it. I grew up with stories from older relatives about where they were when we won the cup etc and memories of the day and I'd love to have that as my own. I can't envisage saying to my grandchildren; "Come here, let me tell you a story about the time we stayed up". I want the cup so badly. Either one.

Moura would be an incredible signing but surely he can do better than us or Everton. He can probably do better than Palace too.

PA stuff is awful across every stadium tbh

I disagree. I'd happily win a cup and go down.

I doubt it. Did he have the audacity to cheer when we scored or something? Don't tell me he said "Well done" at any point?!

Oh yeah, you're right. He should have played the full first team, gone all out for a 5-0 win and knackered everyone out. Everyone knows it's all about the cups and we need to take them seriously to build confidence....Not like we have a cup semi final on Tuesday or anything is it?

Yes alright, fair point, well made.

Never seen someone so angry at winning a football match. Who hurt you?

Indeed but what if he'd played KWP and then he wasn't ready to go for Tuesday. The cup game that matters. Then THAT would have been wrong and it would have been "WHY DIDN'T HE WASTE AMN ON THIS GAME SINCE IT'S NOT IMPORTANT?!"

We're going down regardless. Almost like the players aren't good enough isn't it? 50% win ratio...

50% win percentage...? And one of those defeats was away at Liverpool where he'd been in charge about 2 days and another one isn't technically a defeat yet.

I didn't even know they'd had a new manager. Last I heard, Lee Bradbury was favourite. I don't tend to look that far down.

Pompey lost too. Didn't even know they had a new manager - John Mousinho - First ever management job and previously chairman of the players' association or something. I can only imagine they misread "John Mousinho" for someone else...

A win's a win. Couldn't care less how we played, there's only one stat I care about.

Fans doing their bit...

"Just as Southampton were threatening to overwhelm Southampton...I mean Blackpool..." - Nope you were right the first time mate.

Wasn't everyone wetting themselves at the prospect of signing him and slitting their wrists when Everton nearly got in?

LOL
