Give it to Ron

Well they are also selling Bassong to Norwich

But there is not a Saints fan alive that doesn't realise the defence is our achilles heel...Adkins knows it as well. Poor defending cost us and I cannot believe we will not recruit a defender before the window closes - I would of liked it weeks ago but hey our targets never came off or we wouldn't pay what was asked. Great performance. very proud but disappointed with the goals conceded.

I'll give you a few reasons IMO why: The club has lost its customer service values it had recently and gone from family orientated to just trying to make money. In the junior membership they used to attach a few vouchers for free games - that bought in a few extra lads and dads not this year they got a cheap watch that broke very quickly. Food and beer used to be reasonable - now £4 for a Marstons and £5:50 for a cheeseburger, how can you justify £5 for a cheese and onion pasty...not that I would buy one anyway :-) costly for all day and longer CB40 matches. Recently there was a game rained off after 2.5 hours - fans that paid cash had to write in for a refund....the club kept £3 to cover postage as no refunds available on the day...is that a way to treat cash payers? I love going but this season things have changed from previous seasons and that shows in the gates they are getting.

Hahhah this is brilliant: "It was a good ball that got Pietersen, pitching middle-and-leg and hitting off stump," said BBC Sport's Steve May. "But it was greeted as though Southampton had won the Champions League and the FA Cup at the same time - 50- and 60-year-old people standing up and cheering with their arms in the air." Pietersen, 32, left Hampshire in acrimonious circumstances in 2010 having played rarely for them after breaking into the England Test team in 2005.

Why don't you read what he actually posted before going all high and mighty?

Is that Rocky 3 for the good hiding.....don't worry he beats him again later and the giant Russian...oops sorry Russians are a sore subject aren't they.

Think he may be looking at a big ban after today - you can't touch an official like that and get away with it. Same ban as Prutton did the same thing.

Cheers Tim....Swansea, Fulham and WBA certainly got off to flyers and our start is pretty horrendous and we will be playing catch up but its a long season....just need a bloody defence!!

I was quite impressed with Caulker at Team GB, dominant and decent passer as well.

18th with our current squad. I think we could finish mid table with 2-3 quality players more

Good news and to clarify I wasn't saying he is a bad player..just at the moment I can't see past our poor defence and the shortage of quality in those positions. A team is built on its defence you start at the back and build your quality from there ...we haven't as yet and I don't understand why not.

I would rather have 3 defenders and Matt Phillips. Watched Ramirez v Team GB at Cardiff didn't stand out or look anything special at all.

Really? I disagree about a few things there and I certainly am no Lowe Luvvie. It wasn't Lowe that bought on Calum Davenport to play against the bully Carlton Cole, it wasn't Lowe that put in Brett Ormerod instead of Kevin Phillips. It wasn't Lowe that put out young kids in a league cup game and slaughtered them the next day a side where most of that team got thrashed in a reserve game the week before. Something isn't right...4 days to go and the main area that needs strengthening hasn't been addressed...why not as every fan, local media, ex player, ex manager etc etc thinks it.

Bale, Walcott, Oxlade-Chambelain, Blackstock, Best, Matt Mills whoooo!!

Been rubbish ever since apart from the odd game. Would you have him instead of Lallana for instance?

Its ok if they won a few games though you can just add up all the goals for and against in all the friendlies

It will give Portpin another reason along with TB fees....unless you sack Appy we won't take over etc etc Appy wants out and can only save face by being sacked.

Or a sack me please quote

Quick drive off now !

Are you from Pompey... not this end of the M27

Just as well they dont drug test the perfomers with George on now

Both still writing music ....decomposing

LOL my wife and daughter just said the same thing

First time tonight I have agreed with you...not as if we are short of bands/music in this country to have to listen to that 1D again FFS

Its Ok we have Spice Girls miming later to look forward to ;-)
