Give it to Ron

Have you ever thought of having therapy you are obsessed....what do you hope to achieve by your constant posting of what is not the truth? Yes there were a minority that voiced their displeasure but it was the board and Lowe who never ever in any other circumstance let anything stop him making a decision decided not to go ahead. How do you know he wouldn't of done a Spurs or Wolves...you don't so FFS stop posting that crap over and over again. FYI I wasn't one of them...did I want him back..not on your nelly as it hardly ever works out going back. Did I want Sturrock, Gray, Dutch experiments, Wigley......no but they are a long line of wrong decisions made by the same people that you fail to accept didn't bring back your idol yet you can't see that.

I have always thought you deluded by not listening to the reasons why your messiah was never re-appointed but this proves you are actually deranged!!! Can you explain when he was 'successful'? Certainly not at Spurs or Wolves!!! As a player manager Chelsea * FA Cup runner-up: 1994 [edit] As a manager Tottenham Hotspur * Worthington Cup runner-up: 2001–02

My lad is on a cricketing course run by HCC and Dimi was there coaching. What a great role model for the kids ...nothing was too much trouble. He is having an op on his achilles soon so will be out for about 6 months - ready for start of next season.

I thought McKenzies innings last night was superb, he knew there wasn't much batting to come so took no chances but just placed the ball around the ground. He took a while to settle but has been brilliant and hope he comes back next year. Good cameo's from Razza and Dawson.

We look in a bit of trouble at the moment...not much batting left. 45-3 chasing 177.

Rowan Vine. Also why does he have to be a back up....why cant we play 2 big lumps up front in some games?

It can be done for new ones then as we have the roads around the Dell and County Cricket ground - rename Staplewood academy as suggested is a great idea.

Agreed not a statue - rename the roads, stand or even the Liebherr Stadium.

I know am sat here watching it trying to care but to be honest at the moment its hard to watch without thinking about Saints and Markus. He played for us under Wotte.

Absolutely stunned and shocked....RIP Marcus and thank you my deepest condolences.

Omg

Not if you had watched Ward play on Friday night for Norwich....he was atrocious.

Davis. Butterfield, Fonte, Seaborne, Dickson. Wotton, Hammond©, Puncheon. Chamberlain, Barnard, Lallana

No KP again...must say I whole heartedly agree....why should players like Vince lose out when he has done so well this season. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/cricket/8321825.Hants_set_to_ignore_KP___again/?ref=twt

Apologies...the quoting fooled this old fool.

Its funny how people see different things watching the same game, I have read many things on here how poor Jaidi was but for me he never lost a header and dominated our area from set pieces and open play. Ok his distribution is very poor but I just want him to defend. Mind you after watching Davenport, Jacobbsen, Lancashire, Powell and even 50p head Thomas I am easily pleased.

You really are a blind fool aren't you!!! Norm has been posting on this and the old site since you were just a twinkle in your dad's eye!

Weston....are there many more youngsters about to come through as good as those mentioned above? Since we turned to youth I think we have blossomed rather than rely on the overseas players. Mackenzie after a slow start has added valuable runs, Christian for me is just OK nothing special. It was good to see Simon Jones bowl today, I wouldn't call his run up and action smooth but he bowled at a fair pace today.

Childish backbiting and you then accuse me of having an ego....2,000 posts in 4 years...what a plum!! Apologies to Chapel as least you had the decency to accept my views differed from yours without getting personal. I was pleased at half-time with the way we played but very concerned that we had not scored after all that possession and felt we never would. Hopefully Lambert won't miss many more games and give us that edge we missed yesterday but still want another big forward...shame we missed out on someone like Ben Burgess but maybe Rowan Vine woul be worth a shot.

Just back and a very good performance from Hampshire. Some very good fielding set the tone, we have some very good youngsters in Briggs. Woods, Vince and the brilliant wicketkeeping of Bates. Adams and Lumb batted superbly although at times I thought we were playing Pakistan not Durham by the fielding display they were shocking! Durham were handicapped by losing Harmison who pulled up chasing a big hit from Adams that sailed over the line. Enjoyable afternoon apart from the prices of the food....how can you justify £4.50 for a pie and £5 for a cheeseburger? I have to applaud the parking now as it was so easy getting in and out - well done the attendants.

Continue as in future.....try reading what written before jumping. Its my belief that if we continue with that forward line we will lose more points

What a pathetic comment "go and support"....shows how much you feel for this club if you believe there is a choice in which team you support. I am not buckling at all I just want us to succeed and feel we are very close to getting it right but don't understand why we have wasted pre-season again. If you cannot understand others points of views perhaps you should go on other forums.

Sorry am missing your point here...could be due to all the alcohol I drank trying to get over yesterday being an uber fan ST holder that I am. Working on signings and getting them are 2 totally different thimgs...christ we have only had since May...but call me impatient if it suits. Meanwhile lets continue throwing 3 points away.

Really...to be honest I have not read that many but then again its hard to pick out amidst all the childish in fighting and trolls that infest this board. Our squad is not that good in depth or quality and needs strengthening badly and TBH if we are waiting for the Prem players to be loaned it maybe too late as Pardew may be gone. Lambert won't be fit for Tuesday and if he is injured then he shouldn't be risked for a a cup game that is not our main goal this season so same forwards and same issue in th enext game. The Cherries will be a tough game and MK Dons away won't be easy either. Competition for places is good...how many players actually have to fight for their place? Our bench was lacking in quality yesterday..Lallana apart so why haven't we recruited the players we so obviously have needed?

How can we expect to get promotion without a striker on the bench? Its a 46 game season and to think we can get by with the injury prone Connolly, Lambert and Barnard is foolish.
