I see to remember lots of talk on here c2001-2004 about what a great businessman Lowe was and how he had adopted the right approach, gradual progression rather than big spending. Lots of talk about the investment in the academy and bringing through the youth and how this was a fantastic philosophy for a club like ours. Of course a lot of people will have 'forgotten' they said this or deny it. The praise lavished on him in good times is only usurped by the blind faith that many have in Cortese and the cult like devotion, denying it is possible for the man to do any wrong.

Good.

Had a nice New Zealand Malborough last night.

For those who live in Southampton Cloud Wines in Bedford Place is an excellent place to go if you're not sure what you want. Just tell the lads in there what you fancy or flavours you like and they'll pick out a bottle for you. They don't rip you off either, quite often they'll chose one cheaper than the one I would have chosen. Reds and whites from around the world and not at all expensive. And don't forget the taste of wine can alter if you're having food with the wine. On several occasions we've had wine on its own and not liked it or been bland yet having it with the right food it tastes lovely.

I could have guessed that. You won't understand.

Selling ink cartridges for a living was one of the many true things I've said on here about my personal life.

Good luck to him, it was unfair dismissal. I hope he uses the quotes on here that he was the best manager we've ever had and the new Alex Ferguson to support his case.

Following your dreams is romanticised bo llocks spouted by people with no grip on reality. I agree with your final line, get a career that gives you the money to enjoy your dreams as a hobby, i've yet to meet may people who are truely happy that can't pay their bills every month.

I'm not sure, what I am sure of there will be a thread about it the next time he has a good game live on sky.

Watch Hoolivled for the second goal, terrible defending, it easy to blame the officials when in reality it was basic crap defending. It wasn't a debatable pen it was nailed on and the fourth goal was joke, when was the last time a top club condeded a goal like that? 3 goals from crap defending, no excuse as much as people like to make them. If QPR are going to score 2 goals in a game, we are the sort of defence they'd do it against. It's not t all far fetched to think it possible, despite what the divs on here say. We've conceded two or more in just under half our games.

I'd love to see a manager in one of those!! We may need to appoint Paulo Di Canio to fullfill this dream though.

A decent pair of Italian leather brogues, fitted suit and tailored shirt and then ruins the whole effect by wearing a bench jacket over the top. Surely he should go for a dark grey or black double button number if he wants to be taken seriously as a top coach. I can't ever remember seeing mourinho, guardiola or Mancini in a bench coat. If he is serious about his ambitions he needs to express this in his choice of touch line clobber. What's the verdict saintsweb style gurus?

dat wud b sick blud.

to the tune of the grand old duke of York oh Morgan Schniderlin He play in our midfield he took us up the championship and now to the premier league and when we were up we were up and we are not going down and even though we're less than half way up we're on our march to the champions league

To the tune of Ba Ba Black Sheep Morgan Schniderlin, can you score a goal? Yes sir, yes sir, i can score a goal one for the boss and one for the fan and one for our incredible, super chairman.

What nursery rhymes or disney films are there we can use?

behave. We played well for the first 10 minutes and first 15 minutes iof the second half, they were on top for the rest of the game. Didn't threaten at all after they scored their 3rd. We got beaten by a better side and crap defending cost us 3 goals.

That is quality sir! Morgan take a morgan take a bow he signed a new deal to stay here he's not going to join Arsenal you've found a club that you loves and who love you

you can hit the back boards to any tune. We are Southampton, we hit boards when we want.

duh duh duh duh Morgan Schniderlin

One Morgan Schniderlin, there's only one Morgan schniderlin Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

So his brilliant tactics worked against Barcelona and Real Madrid, but weren't to blame for us losing to Newcastle? How do you work that one out? how do you explain Newcastle dominating 70% of the match? How do you know they didn't beat Barcelona and Real due to poor defending, poor refereing or freak goals?

That's a great read, really makes you understand how competitve he was and what it takes to make it at a top club.

Freakish nature of Newcastles goals? By freakish do you mean crap defending? How far fetched is it for a premier league team to score two goals against our defence? Considering we've conceded at least two 13 times in the league this season. Is it far fetched to suggest it might happen again?
