I seem to recall a lot of moaning about him saying he was too lightweight and form dipped after a good start and so on. Personally i think Cork and Morgan make a good pair, difficult to say who is the better player as they both bring a lot to the table and he's been a big loss.

Didnt a lot of people think Cork was sh*te last season?

I'm proud when I see them play for Saints. I'm not proud when i see them play for other teams and wonder what might have been. Once they leave them mean nothing to me, just another player who thought they were better off elsewhere. I remember Jamie Redknapps comments last season talking about the Arsenal v Spurs game which he described as a "good dsy for Southampton" because 3 players on the pitch played for us once. How is it s good day for Southampton? Yeah, it's great we produce great players, it's only great if they play for us. Was I overjoyed that Blackburn won the league with 3 players who stated life at Saints? No I couldn't give a toss. Same as when i see Bale, Chamberlian or Walcott playing for England or in the champions league. Just players playing for clubs I don't really care about.

: Great post.

Yep. I remember about 10 years ago an ex player saying all of the very top players of that type play 'on the edge' full of fire and aggression that from time to time will spill over but take that away and you have an average player.

The Polish Cantona?

If you think I'm getting shirty then fine. Like i said, if you find a thread boring post something interesting rather than slagging off the posters?

We did, it was to over load ourselves with attacking players.

To be fair, Niemi was playing behind a terrible back 4 he clearly had no confidence in.

That's the problem with panic signings. Without wishing to go over old ground again, You have to again question our transfer policy, if he is good enough for us now why wasn't he good enough for us in July when he became a free agent? Instead we gambled on Kelvin being good enough and a kid with a season in L2 under his belt. When it soon became evident that we were lacking quality in this department we signed a player who is out of shape and match practice, instead of one that could have has a full preseason with us.

I really arent getting sh*tty. You're moaning about threads being ruined yet your sole contribution to a lot of them, including this one, is to moan about them or slag off the posters on the thread. Heres a tip, try contributing something interesting if you want the thread to be more interesting.

Are you auditioning for a mod role?

It does make me laugh after so many people are writing him off after TWO games. This guy have got quality and experience. He hasn't played or trained since May So it's understandable that he's going to take a while to get in shape and his sharpness back.

Why, does he comment on my every post and has made up a hilarious pet name for me?

Quite. It's utterly pathetic.

I see it's been reported in a couple of places that CCTV has been studied and the comment made that its clear Boruc threw the bottle at the advertising boards not the fans, yet some of the poor little souls are complaining that he swore at them, bless them. I hope they get over the trauma of this and are proud of all the fuss theyve caused over nothing.

I presume this means Leadbitter wont have been paid then?

I'm not and I know it wasnt to be funny. I'm admiring your input into a board you say is boring, it's quite brilliant. I'm looking st posters like you to being this forum back to its former glories.

Great post. Keep it up.

Does that mean I can sue Pap fro saying I was racist? According to a mongboard rumour he's been in full training this week. This will undoubtedly be 100% true because it's a postive rumour. Although to be fair Essruu is a good mate of mine and I know who he knows so I'm sure it is true. Although maybe, he's just sttnetion seeking and making stuff up? Who knows..........

Jsut to clarify, I'm not saying it lies or made up. I'm just questioning why some people are saying its true, or more likely to be true and looking for all sorts of ways to justify it and intepreting things the way they want to to convince themselvess it true. Yet are quick to dismiss other rumours, particularly ones that might be negative as attention seeking mongboard ramblings from people who know nothing.

He must be on breakfast duties this week.

Nixon implied in his tweet that is wasnt good. Don't you remember how the tweet was dismissed, particularly by Wes Ender, the words of a clueless journalist making up stories? Your interpretation of it is that we were deciding on a number of targets, mines that it don't look good that 6 weeks after Nige saying we were bring one or two centre backs in as a priority a week before the window shut we hadn't brought in any and still hadn't indentified which one we wanted to pursue. I think it's a fair enough conclusion to come to is it not?

Yep, I did say tht and we were. But I've since been corrected on that as I've been told I make rumours up to get attention on here and the only person that knows anything is th VM Man so on that basis I'm withdrawing the Phillips thing as a lie which wa was simply attention seeking from me. Yep he did say that, he also posted that we didn't know what centre back wanted and implied that it was a bit of a mess. As I said above this was six weeks after Nige had said we were going to bring them in as a matter of priority, I recall this comment being discussed on here and Wes Ender was particularly dismissive of the comment in his usual sneering style, saying that Nixon is just a journalist who knows nothing. So to summarise, this rumour is true because of a post on a mongboard and a tweet from Nixon over two months ago. But the rumour that we didn't prioritise centre backs or know which one we wanted isn't true because it's only a post on a mongboard and tweet from Nixon over two months ago.

So now its a FACT we had huge amounts of money set aside for a CB, based on a mongboard post and we are taking everything Nixon says as gospel, i guess we must also take it as gospel that he said we didnt know which centre back we wanted, something he said a week before the window shuts and 6 weeks after Adkins said we were looking to bring in one or two centre backs as a priority. This does really suggest to me that we were "going big time for a CB" or we had the same priorities as the manager. More that it was a bit of shambles. Does it to you?
