Give it to Ron

Name me a club that hasnt lost a youth team player at some time or other to a bigger club? The point is we are going to try that, this isn't new, it was Marcus's vision here I was told this a couple of years ago by the dad of one of our academy lads who met him.

I am sure he has loved playing understudy to Cole, spent nearly a year honing his golf handicap, did you miss the bit where I said am sure he has loved having the money to lavish on his bird? I only played Hampshire league standard and miss playing every day now I am old git....are you saying he wont have any regrets about his career? I am sure he never regrets leaving Saints the point was he went to a club for the money not to enhance his career being a bench man.

For every Walcott there is a Wayne Bridge...what a waste of a career - although am sure he loves spending the dosh on his fit girlfriend in 15 years time when he looks back am sure he will of loved his time at City.

So....we use that money wisely to invest in the cream thats left like the Lamberts, Fonte, Sharps to supplement the youngsters we can keep......have you learnt nothing from the debacle down the road? No academy etc and no assets. Lowe tried this but wasted the money on 10 managers and coaches and pay offs in those 10 years.

If you want bad omens....the last Friday home game was match 13 we lost - today is Friday the 13th.

We were decent against Birmingham considering the conditions.

You wait until Friday night when our lot sing Top of the League and Reading sing their naff 106 answer...now that is cringeworthy!

Wrong it was sung way back in the 60s at The Dell on the Milton terraces. We do have the most miserable fans in the world - I think there are too many on here that care too much what others think of them. If you want to sing, sing, if you don't like the song don't sing it - I refuse to sing We are Top of the league as its sounds arrogant just my view don't give a sh1t if anyone else sings it. Your macho ego won't get tarnished if you sing a naff song....honest.

It was stated on Solent who rarely get things wrong that he is out for the season.

Harding over Fox are you joking?? Did you miss Butterfield performance against Blackpool?

Exactly my thoughts I was a Guly fan but after todays performance I cannot defend him one bit. He will start on Monday. How could Puncheon or Chaplow who did ok at Blackpool be any worse? The problem is Palace have two very quick wingers and we need someone who will cover - Guly is not that person.

I didn't understand the Harding substitution...why not bring on Martin for his height at set pieces at the end? Cork my MOTM I am a Guly fan - today he was abysmal and I cannot defend him at all not that De Ridder was much better. Our problems have been since Lee got injured and our forward line is so static the midfield struggle to create anything. Sharp scored 2 - never did much else, Lambert is nowhere near fit and Lallana dive was a disgrace. We need another win and quick.

If the rain comes as forecast then it will suit the big hitters, Bubba Watson e.w

Because you are a tight git and haven't paid your £5 to be able to do so.

RIP and my deepest condolences

No but its 'my' club and do not want to see us do a Skates - its a bit hypocritical is it not otherwise?

Hhmmm ok but I am a bit of a pessimist what if we don't as we have some real tough games still and West Ham will come good IMO??? Also the rise in Prem wages for the mercenaries the agents will be pushing our way will that not rise again ?

93% is a real worry - I read once clubs should only be at about 50-60%

1. Buying shares in Saints to help get rid of Lowe 2. Throwing my hat into the Wilde corner 3. Getting really excited when Burley was appointed

Not sure if it helps us JCLs of 45 years of support home and away but saw this : SOUTHAMPTONAWAYTRAVEL BLACKPOOL V SAINTS £26.95 PALACE V SAINTS £15.95 CALL 07801867365 +U GET A FREE DRINK #SAINTSFC #SOUTHAMPTONAWAYTRAVEL

A mate of mine was going to open one where Wickes is in Winchester Road when Allders? went bust. He investigated and saw the council were planning to open in West Quay so changed his mind and bought something else.

CB Fry you could be right but having followed us for over 45 years I never take things for granted. I can see what you are saying and to think we may throw this away now feels like doing these players an injustice however, its not easy forgetting your history. Fantastic result tonight, but come Saturday I will still be nervous as hell and until mathmatics says we are up will not be able to relax. My dad still talks about the Charlie Wayman season he got injured and we never went up. Love your post though.

What I loved tonight was that Skate git Walsh through gritted teeth saying how comfortable we were. Fantastic result lets not do a usual and blow it on Saturday.

I remember when we signed him I was in the Wetherspoons in Stratford Upon Avon thnking he could be decent coming from Chelsea - I was disappointed in him far too lightweight.

So we have had a massive 2 pens difference....that is if Noble has taken them all which I couldn't find out only that he had scored all 7 he has taken. Just as well we are cheating then.
