Don't worry everyone, certain posters will be on here to tell us how much better direct running is than players with craft and guile playing in an effective system.

Hang on, he's just scored both goals to give you the result you wanted. I thought you'd have his picture as your avatar.

Rooney is a c*nt and is f*cking ah*t and Glen Johnson is the worst player I've ever seen.

Well they both threaten to leave their club every few years, maybe that's what he meant

I just hope England don't look at what Les Reed has achieved with us and try to recruit him for themselves.

Should have scored. Hit it straight at the keeper.

But you want us to lose so you should be happy.

20 minutes in and the whinging starts.

The Uruguay national anthem is the worst one I've ever heard.

But you're hoping we lose anyway?

Apologies for the late reply. I had to leave it a bit as if I reply after sue whistle has posted, even if it's hours later, she thinks it's about her and accuses me of stalking her. Anyway, no one can question my support pal, more than earnt my stripes and been there through all the sh*t times and most of the good. These days it's a 600 mile and 9 hour round trip for a home game so don't make many anymore. I'm certainly not renewing due to hysterical tart reaction due to short rocky period like some on here.

You're so stuck in the 80s. The atmosphere at football isn't crap, it's simply evolved from childish,lager swilling thugs leaping about to a more measured approach where we can show our delight of despair with a quick tweet or Facebook update. The atmosphere at matches theses days is not measured by how many decibels but by how many internet connections. Football has changed it's a shame some of our thuggish fans can't.

Okay, I'll rephrase my point. The technology, ie WIFI, was available, what wasn't there and was too expensive for it to show an ROI for clubs in England was people not using it all week, then 30-50,000 all wanting to be connected for 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon. Even now only a few vendors have got it right. As i said above Liverpool spent a fortune of xirrus wifi kit and it didn't work properly. Cisco and Ruckus have got it about right now but the rest are still lagging behind. So yes you probably could have connected to a baseball stadiums WIFI 5 years ago, but if 10000 others had tried to do it during a break in play it would have fallen on it's arse. That's what I'm referring too. A scalable solution for bursty environments so clubs aren't paying top whack for access points, licences etc that are only being used for for three hours once a fortnight.

If I was Les Reed is Skype Lovren, Lallana and all and show me ripping up the bids for them and throwing them in the bin whilst proclaiming 'that is what I think of that' Is the Southampton way

Let's get on it guys, let's show them horrible scousers that we won't be be messed with. This poll will show them and when the players see it no one will leave!

Like a football club version of Made In Chelsea?

Let's hope like All good coaches he has more than one trick up his sleeve. I'm sure he will and we'll use more than one system.

something about a crappy seaside B&B

http://m.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2266642/manchester-city-signs-cisco-and-o2-for-stadium-wifi-rollout Big fanfare from Cisco when this was announced. Liverpool spent nearly £250k on theirs and it didn't work properly.

You'll have 20000 fans inside the stadium on their phones racing to be the first to post 'corner to saints'

You'll be able to post on the match thread whilst at the match, yes ?

There are technologies available for bursty environments like sports stadium where scalability is needed. Cisco use their connect the crowd at man city. Liverpool spend a fortune of xirrus and it didn't work properly. Ruckus do a few stadiums in the states and are getting a foothold in the UK. The technology is there now, it wasn't 2 years ago. Clubs get ROI by advertising, downloadable programmes rather than paper copies, in game betting etc. Working as a 'printer cartridge telesalesist' I am involved in this regularly.

Keep it away. There are enough helmets on Facebook/twitter etc during games as it is.

Les is clearly proving himself to be the mastermind behind our rise up through the leagues. It's good to see him taking a role with the profile that a man of his talent deserves. It's pretty evident that the new board recognise what a significant role he has at this club. I think in the future fans will see him as a kind of modern day Ted Bates. Obviously without the same length of service, but with an impact just as productive.
