BARCELONASAINT

got a Christening midday and providing the do afterwards doesn't go on all afternoon i should be there with my nemesis Mini me

Have to admitt i'm i am now seriously worried for the forthcoming season. We start on -10 points with a squad wholley inadequate as it currently stands. We play QPR on Saturday which would have been the last chance for any new players to get a chance to gel! The earlier optimism i had for this season is fast receeding. Don't get me wrong i'm happy to still have a team to support but typically Saints i think our hopes were all raised when this new owner came in.

Sorry for any shouting at the back, i'm so used to barking orders to the Saturday side i play for, still very well done everyone on my side for defending really well and putting in so much effort.

Opps sorry about that

well thats 1004 now going, i got my tickets

I'm in this week, could you oblige with another pinpoint corner and i'll do my best to put it in the corner again

I hope when he says we will need one or two new faces he actually means 5 or 6 new faces at the very least, otherwise we are in for another long hard season.

Really enjoyed it today, very even match. Was amazed it was still 0-0 after 40 minutes but goes to show how much effort was being put in. Was pleased to get a couple of goals, especially the header from the corner. Looking forward to next week already

thats not even remotely funny :mad:

I won't miss him.

Totally agree. I havent got overly excited about our new rich owner, just mighty glad the club is alive and kicking. I expect us to survive in this league this season and if lucky maybe even get to the playoffs.....but realistically i expect next season would be the one to look for promotion.

Just need the correct choice of manager now!

cheers guys, much appreciated

Have they announced the prices for the Ajax game yet. Want to go with my 2 sons but can't seem to find the ticket info???

lol, next time i'll refrain from predicting time scales

I will **** myself laughing if he does get appointed

Bloody hell these new guys don't mess about do they. They obviously knew Wotte would not be kept on and must have someone lined up or a bloody good idea about who they want!! Personally i believe this is the right choice. Feel sorry for him and he must be gutted because his lunchtime interview at Staplewood showed he did not even have an inclining this was coming! How long before the new manager is announced then...the rate these new guys are going then i would not be surprised to see the new manager unveiled within the next 72 hours

Life just gets better and better after months of crap. Welcome back KD

Like everyone else on here i have been following the events of our soap saga of a takeover on a daily if not hourly basis, i believe i have worn out my refresh button and worn out my better half with my constant ramblings about failed bids etc. When the news came through yesterday afternoon that we had all been waiting for i was elated as the next Saints fan but rather than type away at my keyboard and join in the celebrations i went and id some gardening and simply reflected on being a Saints fan. Without our club and without our history and all the ups and downs we have had to endure it just would not be the same. We are Southampton no matter what life chucks at us. You can keep you Chelski's, Manure and the rest, there is only one club that gives a fan every emotion under the sun and that SFC. Here's to a bright new future and a united Southampton on and off the pitch

I can't believe no one on here hasnt managed to find out something this morning about the takeover being finally announced today...whats the matter with you all ITKpeople out there

It is bloody ridiculous, one minute we cant find anyone remotely interested in buying us and are virtually at deaths door and then come along two loaded parties that are desperate to buy us. It beggars belief that this overseas group are now complaining....if they had wanted us that badly they should have pulled their bloody finger out weeks if not months ago :mad: Come on Swiss just complete today and let this be an end to it!!

Thats sick...lmao

yeh not too bad mate, keep having nightmares about the car rolling down the embankment with the kids all in it though! Hence i'm on here at silly o'clock instead of sleeping

LOL, his pic just does not inspire inspiration at all. He looks like he would have difficulty selling Lego to kids let alone a football club!

Some of you are just really trying to **** me off suggesting RL would ever dare come back now......please, please tell me there is no ducking chance this will happen :mad:
