Give it to Ron

Compared to last season yes....he won loads more headers today than he has been - still not doing enough at times though. He is not helping himself - Guly flicked the ball up the line and I looked across to see Lambert jogging forward when he should of been busting a gut to get in the box. Its coming though.....

Sorry I cant believe someone above slagged Jaidi...Fonte was at fault ...one is black the other had orange boots on!!! Jaid had a great game - Fonte didnt simples. Radhi never lost a header and for once was decent on the floor. Lets criticise when a player is bad but lets just cut out the rubbish when they play well.

What complete patronising comments,....yes us English no nothing about good football, passing sides, technique or French football it all has to be 100 mph and lump it and run doesn't it ....christ. That French side are not a good side - yes they are technically good and keep the ball well but they will come totally unstuck against better teams than England. English papers say it was a good French side....well thats it then I bow down to Fleet St and their expertise....Turnip Taylor was about their level. Your post is the most arrogant ignorant thing I have read in ages - you know nothing about what I like or know about football

Yeah lets replace him with a Spanish 2nd division manager. One with such a great record of being sacked from last 2 jobs!

Not played at the Emirates???

That was an embarrassment....we are just going nowhere and learnt nothing from the WC.

So where was the midfielder who let the goalscorer run 25 yards unmarked? For the love of god how atrocious is this...hoof..give it away.... no direction, control, formation or ability against a poor French side.

hahaha snap...

How abysmal are we.... what sort of challenge from Ferdinand was it for their goal. Englands tactics are back to the 60's...well thats if we have any apart from aim for Carroll.

What age range...I help out at youth level but have contacts in clubs that have all age ranges. We have 14 sides.

If he was that unhappy would he be putting in appearances representing the club at social functions? He turned up at Mountbatten school last week as part of the Saints team that took on the Royals in the annual sports quiz. Saints lost as usual ;-)

Gone to Villa....hardly

Totally disagree...he has been exactly what we have needed in some games - a terrier - closing down and not giving them space. He is the only midfielder I have seen go beyond the strikers in years at SMS. Ok he hasnt been as good as his previous loan spell but he didnt play much before coming here and is still getting match fitness. Sharpen up his passing and we have a gem and youngish too.

Well if anyone is sending scouts to watch him this season they will go away and say don't bother to the manager.

Fonte???? when was that as every game I have seen him he has been a rock.

Now I know why Guly went to right midfield against Shrewsbury. I am not going to join the wrist slitters on here...but I do find this an odd one. Seeing as he has been loaned out and not stayed anywhere for long it does make you wonder if its a personality clash. Puncheon has ability but he has not shown much of that this season.

He did actually....to be another example of Lowes cheap methods, if we had appointed a decent manager not a useless twonk like Hoddle we would of been fine there were loads of other choices. If we had kep Pearson and not gone for Dutch experiments etc etc etc

we would of been relegated earlier than we were....look at Spurs and Wolves.

Yep my favourite Dell goal...we had gone 1 nil down when Eric made a rare boob and dropped one in from a corner. Sydie crossed it from the half way line and Big Ron dived to header a bullet of an equaliser. Brilliant.

You never gave him 1 week

Disappointing result - I didnt like the formation at the start - hopefully Adkins has that one out of his system now and will not try that again. Beat Posh and Brighton and we are back on track.

Coventry, MK Dons 2 more?? Or alternatively look at Spurs...did they expand or get in a better manager and invest in players?

Well tell that to Leeds who have a bigger stadium than any of the teams you mentioned....didn't help them much.

Am I missing something here....didn't we have gates of 31k every week? The problem was we never spent it on managers or quality players...we went for cheap options like Gray, Wigley, Dutch experiments who all failed and over inflated our squad with mediocrity. Whereas Fulham went for Hughes, Blackburn Big Sam, Everton have Moyes and no money....the most important thing at a club is the manager not the size of the stadium in isolation. We have a big enough stadium that will do us for years and don't need to expand, football will implode soon and we need to be able to survive. Look at Brighton 93m?? on a 22k stadium.

Will wait and see if we get through first.....been a fan too long to think otherwise.
