What do you expect he's a Hibs fan, he's not going to be having a love in with Rangers is he.

Look at Rocky Balboa. He was a south paw but to fool Apollo Creed he learnt to fight right handed. I reckon we should make players train for hours and hour where they are only allowed to play using their wrong foot. If some illiterate Itie who started life in a meat factory can do it it should be easy for highly paid and pampered soccerballists.

It's true you know. Most people I know learnt to write at the age of about 5 and have been writing all their lives, some are In their 60s and 70s. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people with 50 years writing experience that can only write with one hand. It's outrageous.

I wish the likes of Welbeck were Scottish!

And don't expect one. It's club policy not to respond to complaints. It's the Southampton way Apparantly.

I thought he was okay as well. The trouble is he is closing in on Guly status where even when he plays well everyone will be on his back and highlighting even the slightest error.

Quiz nights?

What did it cost you in terms of running costs, repairs etc?

What views would they be?

Sorry, how many other players and who are saying it is an issue in this country? And what's your view on the managers? Do you agree with David James or is he lying?

If this thread had been David James saying racism was an issue there would have been hundreds of posts on it by now. Isn't it great that a former England international and well respected figure in the game has come out and said this? It certainly is a break through that a black player feels he can come out and say he doesn't feel discrimated against and say with confidence that if black mangers aren't getting jobs its their own fault not because football is racist. It's great news for equality and hopefully the beginning of the end for this ridiculous positive discrimation we are seeing everywhere and people who fail being able to blame everything but themselves. I'm applaud David James for his comments and am glad to see common sense and self responsibility are being championed by influential figures in the game.

I honestly think against Fulham we were unlucky with injuries. If we'd have had a proper right back we'd have won. Yoshida wasn't comfortable there, not his fault he isn't a full back, but Fulham targeted that weakness. Plus Hooliveld wouldn't have come on and he's really struggled this season.

I'm saying Reid seems to be a good influence on Cortese. I'm agreeing with you you plank! Mockles says Reid saved Adkins job as well, unless you think him doing that is a negative thing?

As proven by him persuading Cortese to keep Adkins, which Mockles clearly says. I know he has Cortese ear and I know that in the past he persuaded Cortese to keep Adkins, not this season, but in the past. Overall I think he's a good influence and Cortese listens to him, he calms Cortese down when he flies off the handle, which he does regularly. Still, I'm sure all, of what I'm saying will be dismissed as bulls*it.

Can someone do a poll on pompey online and ask them who is planning on coming to St Mary's if Pompey are to be liquidated. Then Les will have some figures to back up his arguement of the legions of skates who will switch sides to support us. Just like there were legions of Saints fans who did the same when we were in admin and they were in the premier league.

He didn't say that at all. He said Reid persuaded Cortese to keep Adkins. Do you consider doing this a bad influence?

The football manager Generation.

You've got it bear! The penny has dropped with me too and it all makes sense now. We won't need to give extra tickets to away fans for Man U and Chelsea etc as we'll sell them ourselves. But when Wigan and Fulham and those sort of clubs come to town we give them the extra tickets for theirs fans for the inevitable empty seats there will be in the home end for those ones. They can fill the groud with thier massive travelling army! Another piece of genius from the visionaries!

I think Luke Shaw is the only one that could do that.

Yep I remember Saha and Malbranque. Strachan said we could get them for about £10m or something and Lowe refused to do the deal because he didn't want to make Fulham financially stronger and us financially richer. I think it was Marcus Bent and not Darren Bent BTW.

The most effective left sided threat we have in a decade or more. Apart from Bale and Bridge you mean?

Yet Delgados attitude was clearly spot on. Especially when he would return to fitness just in time to play for Ecuador and then get injured on the flight home.

Of course its bulls*it, it's not happy clappy positivity claiming everyone involved at SFC is the greatest person whoever lived.
