BARCELONASAINT

oh crap that is the worst possible news

To some degree i have to agree with Alps and say we MUST win tonight. If we dont it is far from over but what it does do is put even more pressure on us with each passing game if we fail to win tonight against a very poor Charlton side who's own fans expect to get tonked. Unlike Alps I can base my judgement on seeing Saints regularly and i must admit that i have not been overly confident this season. In patches we have played some very entertaining and very good football but i think we have almost adapted to this horrible league and changed into a side that grinds out results without looking particularly good. (If this gets us promoted i for one will be very happy) The one think that really worries me and i dont think i'm alone in this is we only seem to play in the second half of games recently and this could be our undoing if NA doesnt get the boys fired up from the very off. We should be at Charltons throats from the very off tonight. CMON YOU REDS!!

yours is the pathetic comment trying to turn Alpines post into a racist comment. He is factaul in his comments, the article states ARAB interest, we are owned by a EUROPEAN family....where is his racism,get a life, political correctness gone mad!!!

Awful Awful defending. We were totally in control and i honestly thought we would get a third and then we get caught ball watching for both their goals. This is why so many question our ability to be an automatic promotion team!

Dont believe the Ricky rumour, the Newcastle flight was over an hour ago!!!

Totally agree, so pleased to see the way we have played, honour is served!

Have to agree with Alps on this one to some point. Punch is obviously on his way or he would be in the squad (barring an unknown injury) Not so sure about it being a message to Davis, more a message to Bart, your very much part of the squad and you deserve a game in a match we are not expected to win, so go enjoy!

Le Tiss just asked on Sky Sports about his problem getting tickets for his children......he was very diplomatic but obviously upset that a loyal servant and our greatest player of modern times had to wait over 3 weeks to get tickets and then only after the national press got involved. I support NC totally, i think we have made leaps and bounds with him at the helm, but this was a PR disaster!

I'm sure some posters start these idiotic threads purely for a reaction. This and Trousers yawning thread deserve the golden Turkey award of the month.

I am struggling to feel very positive at the moment. Brighton have been very consistent and you have to give full credit to them and their manager. At the moment i can not see us catching them aand to be honest i think we will do well to finish second. I think alot depends on the next 5 days...will we lose AOC this window, is Lallana out for long, is Punch staying, is Bernard about to be sent down....will we sign anyone to potentially replace any if not all of these!!

speaking to someone who speaks to the player himself on a daily basis .....he states Oxo is going nowhere during this window and is very happy at Saints. I Have every reason to believe this is true.

Have to agree with you Nick, can't see anything more sinister than as you have put it........not that it will stop others putting a completely different spin on it!!

I'm beginning to think we might win this one!

I have done some digging re Guly's partner and her potential visa problems. I have it on good authority that neither Guly or his partner should have any problems with the paperwork needed and it should all be pretty straight forward. Fully expect to hear Guly has signed permanent contract later this month.

Think OXO would have a very close run for his money as the mean machine got going

lol, made me laugh, would like to see him and OXO in a hundred yard sprint, would be interesting

Brilliant news, feels like a new signing and has made my weekend. Thxs Jordan for the facebook alert.

2 for punch now!!

I agree with your sentiments......i am appalled how football stars, tv personalities or those generally in the limelight DO GET TREATED differently when they appear before a judge. The average guy in the street would have gone down for this, it sends an appalling message!

and many guilty people have escaped being sent down although totally guilty .....it works both ways!!!

Probably the wrong attitude but hey the team cant be bothered and i work hard for my money...guess what i cant be bothered today either. Obviously hope they win but i won't hold my breath, i'm out enjoying the sun with my lad and i wont even think about Saints until about 5pm. Sad because i have remained patient and supportive of what was happening at Saints but my patience and more importantly my cash have run out!!

seriously, did you see him play Tuesday night?? He is the worst player i have seen in a Saints shirt, how he lasted 70 minutes i can't fathom. So out of his depth it was unreal. So glad he's a lone and not been purchased.

thank god Guly is not playing!

I was at the game last night and i'm sorry but this guy was horrendous, he looked so out of his depth. He recieved the ball and immediately passed it backwards 9/10. For a big bloke he looks like he's made of China. And yes he did lose possesion loads, the first goal came about because he lost possesion on the wing and they subsequently scored. How the hell he lasted 70 odd minutes god only knows. Our 17 year old kid Chamberlain is miles better than this Guly....thank god he is only on loan and we can send him back. I'll give him the benifit of the doubt that he was played out of position, he hasnt had much time to settle and doesnt speak a word of English.....but that was a horrendous start!!

Just back from the game and i am appalled by that horror show, absolutely clueless performance throughout. There is no excuses, they are well paid proffessionals who live a privallaged lifestyle for kicking a ball about and yet they could not be arsed. Please never play that Brazillean again he was horrendous and i'm not being unfair on him, he was totally out of his depth. He doesn't speak a word of English, i'm sorry but who was responsible for bringing him here??? I hope you have some sort of master plan Cortesse because the players didnt want to play for Wilkins and some of the more senior players were having a right go at him during the first half...something is seriously wrong. I havent got involved in the Pardew sacking debate and i'm sure there must be a bloody good reason for it but i just hope a new guy and a bloody good one at that is in place soon before we kiss this season goodbye!!!
