I'll be shouted down for this but Cortese has f*cked off a lot of local businesses who aren't prepared to put money into SFC anymore. Those on here won't like it, but it's true.

He was the man of the moment because he scored a good goal and ran around a lot. Totally unproven and amazing that so many think he is the answer to all our prayers.

Don't be a mug. The point I'm making is that dull days says that for new formation to succeed 2 of the 3 players need to be new and as a result will have to be signed in the next week or 1 of them does and the other Is someone who has never played there and we have no idea if he can. Does that sound promising to you? .

Weren't tickets massively difficult to come by last time we were in the premier league? Doesn't seem to be the case now. It seems our fan base has shrunk despite the ambition and resources we've never had before and access to the massive catchment area which has only just materialised.

Talking about challenging Man City for the title is pathetic and embarassing when you are buying players from the championship and are out of your depth at home to Wigan. Talking about expand the stadium when on your glorious return to the premier league after 7 years over 10% of the stadium us empty despite Apparantly having the most ambitious and well funded chairman in our history, being the best time ever to be a Saints fan and being told you have a catchment area which covers most of England and are going to be welcoming thousands of new fans here to see Premeir league football ever week is pathetic and embaassing. HTH.

All in the same area as well. What a coincidence that all the people that bought tickets but couldnt be arsed to go should all sit in the same place!

What happened to all the fans from Warwick, Cirencester, Weymouth, Ashford, Lewes and Newquay you told us would be coming to Southampton on Saturdays to watch premier league football?

I wanted to fit in with everyone else.

So pulling it off depends on spending £20m on two new players and/on relying on another new player who has never played there and is totally unproven in England, let alone in the PL. sounds promising.

Why? We were 1-0 down after an hour and not looking threatening. If the players are f****** off them maybe they need to ask themselves why for 2/3rd of the game they threatened little with the formation they seem to prefer.

I agree. We were toothless up front. Needed Sharp on from the start of RL and JR up front.

If only miles run won matches.

Loads of similarities. They've scored 8 conceded 0 in 2 games and won 2, we've scored 2 and won 0. They've signed a free scoring, highly rated attacking midfielder from a top european league, we haven't. They look class and capable of Tearing teams in the PL apart. Yep, loads of similarities.

This. It was sh*t. From the crowd to the performance a massive let down.

It's not Adkins. He's on record as saying we need to strengthen and where. The CoC won't like it but if we don't strengthen then only one person is accountable. Fana love to sing his praises and do far all has gone well. What happens when we go on a bad run? We shall soon see. I we are in the bottom 4-5 at Xmas Adkins will be gone

I don't know why some of you clowns think I'm enjoying paying £575 to see us come up well short against Wigan FFS! I hate seeing us lose. All I'm doing is asking for the views now of the views now of the self title intelligent posters that predicted The premier league would be a walk in the park and we'd play champions league football in front of a packed stadium. I'm yet to see a view from the intellegent posters. I await their input.

Everyone said that when we got relegated in 2004. Don't worry only 2 games etc. it not the result it's the performance. Make no Mistake we were outclassed today and shown up. Wigs did to us what we've done to teams so Many time in the last 2 seasons. Got the goal then picked us off. I hope today was a wake up call for a lot of the mongs on here that think we are on an unstoppable march to the champions league. Today is proof we aren't.

Not at all. Just after some opinions. I gave mine a few months ago and was told I was negative and had a dell sized mentality.

How could i forget the this the best team we've ever had comments! BTW don't worry about what you say for a bit all the mods are on a night out in the corriander lounge. It's open season for a while.

We will finish midtable. Davis, Lallana and Lambert should play for England. You get more Time on the ball in the premier league oh and we need a bigger ground. Discuss

Its nothing personal Dr Who and i respect what you are doing. It's very strange when the mods are locking threads and deleting posts left right and centre, many of which are Saints related and related to players, even if they do go off topic at times. Yet this one has remained on the main board despite it not having anything to do with Saints at all apart from a Saints fan is doing the race. It seems the thread has turned into a log of your training. As interesting as that might be it's got bugger all to do with Saints.

another thread locked i see.

He's stamping his authority on the forum. Like the referee that gives an early yellow for an inocuous challenge to let the players know not to mess with him.
