We didnt mate we won at home...but get your point. How many games over the years have we lost like this one? A win is a win...I would rather us win 3-2 each week then see us go out ultra defensive and get 0-0's. Yes a clean sheet would be nice but whilst we are winning I don't give a dam. Nice positive post Alps keep it up.

Chance of a signing before the loan window closes?
Give it to Ron replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Saints
Is that lorry full of Liebherr's money you keep wanting to spunk away? -
Can you send John Westwood your seat number so he knows which one to urinate on. I agree it makes sense but this is England and 'every mans home is his castle' and we are a mental territorial lot and would never be able to get past those prejudices you mentioned. The West Ham - Millwall riots this year showed this country still has a long way to go before we could even consider ground sharing unless its with another sport like Rugby(but who wants a ruined pitch!)

Are you being serious or is this another one of your wind up posts? Last time I looked Sheff Weds were a division higher.....tough choice for Feeney! "Ok Max....Leeds who look like walking the league this year are interested in you or there is Southampton who are in the relegation zone"....you decide! -
Probably because he didn't want to dislocate his shoulder again ;-)

Whilst I think Adam has a talent I am not so sure he is Premiership material, he lacks the one thing that you need at that level and thats pace. Yes he has fantastic ability on the ball at this level but can that be transferred up 2 levels against far better quality defenders...mostly internationals? I think he will move on in the summer but can see it being to one of the top CCC not Premiership it just may be a recently promoted CCC side though.

Yep must of been abysmal training and getting an apprenticeship from one of the best footballers in the world at that time Thierry Henry. He has been unlucky with injuries....that doesn't mean he hasn't learnt anything watching, training and being coached by some of the best. Afterall he could of turned down the chance of a Wenger for a Wotte!
-
Totally agree....now just how do we get rid of that trumped up tart Jordan who I cannot tolerate.
-
I heard on the radio this morning that they are clamouring to sign up Jedward for their autobiography! At a price so far of £250k....wtf!! I hate the way society now triumphs talentless numpties just because they appear on a 2nd rate reality TV.
-
2 sloppy goals from mistakes which are happening far too free frequent but the one big positive I take is that now at long last from set pieces we actually compete and win headers. After watching season upon season of forwards having free headers in our area this is one positive we can take....if you want to.

A Lance Corporal being charged with desertion
Give it to Ron replied to Thedelldays's topic in The Lounge
As I have never served HM forces being the coward that I am its difficult to criticise him. Without knowing the conditions he was asked to work in either BUT there are many soldiers especially in the 1st WW that served in far worse conditions who didnt run. He did sign up knowing full well what a ****e place the world is and us being the lapdog of the US getting drawn into their wars that there was a huge possibility he would face action. As you say when you sign up you sign away all freedom of speech. When I left school a few mates joined up..I didn't as I didn't want to go to N Ireland to be shot at or blown up was NI far worse than Afghanistan? This war is far more political than any other I have known and everyday you hear stories of under equipped soldiers fighting a war that many feel we should not be involved in and to that the reason those groups are all too willing to use him as a hero for desertion to get one back at Brown. I have nothing but admiration for the forces that are serving, however it was their choice to sign up and should carry out whatever is being asked. Charged for desertion is where I come down on here. -
The point about 10 point penalties is that we had to go full tilt at every game with the best available and no chance to rotate. Also the fact that we didnt exactly have the best of squads to start with or at least settled like a number of others. No excuses today just didn't want it enough ...whereas Brighton did.
-
What changed the game was when Poyet switched Cox from left to their right to exploit the gap behind Lallana - the first goal came from his cross about 2 minutes after the change. Up until then Antonio had been tearing them apart Poyet doubled up with someone else freeing up Cox to supply the forwards. Connoly should be sub....if you are going to play Lallana then you need 5 in midfield to accomodate him.
-
How many had a -10 penalty that needed wiping out before they could start? Sorry they are pro footballers and should be able to handle playing twice a week. We had an extra days rest as well - we were just plainly beaten by a team that wanted it more today.
-
To be honest nor was he....I can't understand why we kept Connolly on and didn't put Papa on at h/t. We would of had someone with pace at them instead of the cross-cross-cross not competing. When you are losing why not throw on another forward like Paterson instead of Mills who brings what difference? Poor on the pitch today and off it for me but beaten by a team that wanted it more.
-
That was mine as well. Sat in amongst the great unwashed and cheered every Saints goal. Well you could then.

Who really cares about England v Brazil

Hallelujah I thought it was just me! He was shocking jut look how many times Wes Brown overlapped and put out of position by his ****e play. -
Who really cares about England v Brazil
Give it to Ron replied to John Boy Saint's topic in The Lounge
That must be the biggest understatement ever! How the hell does SWP get picked? Bent is static but no support ....massive gap between strikers and midfield. When we get the ball we go back....and back and back....they have no left back and a masive gap to exploit. Brazil might just up the tempo in a bit and swat us away. Forecast 2-0 Brazil if we carry on like this. -
I think some of us have so been used to having lightweight, non-committed. small, useless centre halves since Killer that we may be going over the top. He wins so many headers though and its brilliant that from set pieces we now compete rather than conceding almost everytime like last season.

I am getting worried...I have watched us since 1963...had Big Ron as my schoolboy hero, Paine, Sydenham and the great Brian O'Neill. I was ther through the Keegan, Ball, Channon and Le Tiss years. I am now 50 and find it mental that I am idolising a giant of a centre back in Jaidi who is immense at the back with his towering headers. Lambert is becoming a particular hero as his all round game is superb, great in the air, leads the line, actually passes to teammates and scores goals. OK last night he wasn't as good as previous games but think that was due to getting clobbered early on - still scored though ;-) After watching the dross of the last few years I am trying not to get carried away but gosh its great at the moment!!!! I just want us up the table and away from the relegation zone. Very professional performance - thought Papa did well when he came on - good defensively as well.
-
But some players just need a change of team, style or pattern of play or in fact area of the country. Take Gary Monk who I see has extended his contract at Swansea and done really well there - yet here he just looked slow, cumbersome and way off the pace. Ok we were a few divisions higher but he looked light years away - just like Olly does now when he is near the 1st team.

Thanks for those I had contacted Ipaq already but wondered if anyone knew anything in Southampton.
-
I lost £100 didnt buy them to make money and agree fully with FF and Janet. I am just glad we have cleared the deadwood and SMS is now great onmatchday just concentrating on the footie and the crap beer ;-)

Does anyone know of any PSP repair shops in Southampton - we have tried the usual game, Gamestation etc. My nippers PSP yellow ac adapter has broken I have taken casing off to see if I can repair but getting screen off is a bit of a git. These are not made for easy repair.
