Ummmm but Docker won't be joining the chants though....!!! Wonder if he will join in if the chants are for 'Wotte out'.....????

Cardiff highlights here.... http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/Football/Championship/VideoIndex/0,,12555,00.html?mvnAssetId=3748994 Enjoy...

Interesting stance - you obviously don't do man management then. Your original post states that there is no way you will be singing his name at SMS - but in the same sentence calls for him to continue the winning ways. It does indeed prove though - that fans are indeed very, very fickle...!! P.S. I take it it's safe to say you're not enamoured with Rupert either then..???

Aye - it is that lad..... yeeeeesssssss....!

So just how long do you want him to keep it going for you before you will acknowledge him. Seems to me you want him to do the business - but you wont be acknowledging his achievements. Nothing like having your cake and eating it is there. BTW - Did you ever consider that due to the language barrier or perhaps cultural differences that you may have taken, whatever remarks he made, out of context and perhaps grasped the wrong end of the stick?

It is a good feeling, but I still think that we are still some way off recovering the true Spirit of Southampton. I last really felt like that when we were regularly turning over the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd - and just generally being the little club that could hold their own. We are still a long way from that - and there is still a very good chance that we could go down. So whilst there is an inevitable optimistic air about the club right now - I still wouldn't say that the Spirit of Southampton is yet fully recovered.

So you want him to do a job for you, but you don't want to acknowledge him if he does it well. Never heard of the good old saying - credit where credit is due..?

Doooh - not being a betting man myself I don't know (or understand for that matter) the odds - but methinks you probably missed out on a fair few quid tonight...!!! Nay matter - 3 points are priceless anyway...!

Rest properly, train properly, play properly - 1st rules of good coaching programme.

Can't believe you called that - I hope you are a gambling man and had a few quid on it as well....

Continue to win games - simple to say - harder to do. But that is the crux of the matter - the bottom teams will all fancy their chances of getting out while they are in touch with the team around them. With the exeption of probably Charlton, it's a lottery down there at the moment. Therefore - the only solution is to win games...!

Here you go.... in·cor·ri·gi·ble (n-kôr-j-bl, -kr-) adj. 1. Incapable of being corrected or reformed: an incorrigible criminal. 2. Firmly rooted; ineradicable: incorrigible faults. 3. Difficult or impossible to control or manage: an incorrigible, spoiled child. n. One that cannot be corrected or reformed HTH

The only thing that takes a little of the gloss of for me is the other results - other than that all I can say is brilliant result - let's just keep it going. Chuffed to bits....

Good news - hope it's the start of a full recovery for the lad.

You're incorrigible ...!!

Gotta say it's very slow for me at the moment. I dont think it is down to my ISP either (SKY) as all other url's load fine. That said - I rarely find too many problems with the forum - generally works well - obviously there are gremlins about tonite...!

Brave post - nice to hear a balanced view and argument instead of the usual 'Lowe is bad, shoot him on sight, kill the 'bar steward'' rhetoric which is so prevalent here these days. Mind you - I guess we are now both in danger of being labelled as 'Lowe Luvvies' - stand by...!

Ohhh FFS - If the cap fits - wear it....!!!

Made me chuckle....!

Not sure - tell you in 12 games time though...

It was an honest, open and forthright question UP. I'm not knocking people for it and I agree with you - at the start of the season I had us down for automatic promotion and an FA Cup win - I dream just as much as the rest of us. But it just seems a little biggotted now to rubbish those exponents of the experiment - having seen it fail - when in reality, many on here were probably optimistic and supporters of it when it was announced. My only real critisism would be the amount of time the failing experiment was allowed to run - before common sence, normal football and hence, 'normal service' was resumed.

Agree with that Nick - but in our postition, I will only breath easily once we are mathimatically safe - not before. All I'm saying is lets not get into a false sence of security on the back of good results until that security is guaranteed - let's not give the fat lass a chance to break into song. You know what it's like on here with the 'We'll walk this leaguers...!'

I agree - time to keep our feet on the ground. I hope that the euphoria that appears to have broken out here is not evident in the squad. They players need to know that there is still an awful lot of work to be done to turn this one around. Let's put the champagne on ice until the end of the season - if there is cause to break it out - it will taste that much sweeter. Now - sleeves up - lets work!

Whilst I accept that the 'Total Young Guns Football' experiment was an unmitigated disaster, I cannot but help think back to pre-season when many on here appeared to be in favour of it. Not only were people saying that we were going to survive in the league, but the lads could even be looking at a play off position. Was that you - and are you now all posting in hindsight?

Who knows if we have passed the lowest point - we will only really know at the end of the season. If we are relegated, and there is still a very really posibility of that, then things could get decidedly worse. If we survive however - then I think people at the club need to take a long hard look at last season, and this season and learn. The real crime would be staying up and failing to learn from this seasons mistakes - there are some very stark lessons that are very evident.
