So this thread is yet more drama queenism based on speculation and what could happen if all worst case senarios happen against us. FFS.

I am amazed Arsene Wenger kept his job after Arsenal lost at Ipswich two weeks ago, they really need to sign 7 more players if they are to make the champions league this season.

Eh? are you sure you are reply to the right person? Or did you totally miss the one where i said it was collective responsiblity? Adkins got it wrong tactically and the players were complacent. So no, it is not a fair assessment, totally wrong assessment. Maybe you should read posts properly before making assessments.

Actually, your post has opened my eyes to this condition and made me realise i may have it, thank you for posting it. You see even now i am suffering from it and cant help but read the content of this thread and reply to the posts on it, maybe you are suffering from it as well?

Niether, i just dont like putting meat in my mouth.

You said i never contribute anything worthwhile so i am sharing my emotional issues with the forum, like you have. Why is it when you do it it is an interesting topic, yet when i do it you sarcastically dismiss it? Maybe i was wrong and you are actually very arrogant.

If you really think i would start a thread to take the p*ss out of you then you are either very arrogant or very insecure with a persecution complex. Given your posting history i'd suggest the latter.

Why are you being a f*cktard? The manager buys the players, trains them and chooses the tactics. It's down to the players to motivate themselves, work hard and perform.

Austin, proven goal scorer at this level and £10m is a lot of money which we could do a lot with at this level.

What are you talking about? Why is it okay for you to ask for emotional support on here and not me? Now you have ruined my day FFS, why is my life so sh*t, even people on the internet hate me, i beginning to wonder if it is worth carrying on, first the remote control catastrophy and now this. This has probably been the worst weekend i've had in the last couple of weeks

he should consider himself lucky, i suggest as an alternative to here he tries Danny Dyers problem page in Zoo. This is the sort of advice he can expect, we have been positively mild in comparison. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2960344/Danny-Dyer-in-trouble-over-vicious-advice-given-in-Zoo-magazine-problem-page.html :lol:

Finally someone who puts forward a reasonable arguement. Re your comments on MS, it is horses for courses, yesterday we needed a Hammond & Chaplow midfield pair to use their extra energy and battling qualitites to match Tranmere. Morgan is good when we are at home or on top in a game, but not one to put his boot in when he has to fight for the ball in the midfield or when things aren't going our way. Chaplow was an excellent signing and just what we needed. What i fail to understand is these people that keep saying we need cover. For example in the centre of midfield we have 3 good players there, but if we sign another "cover" player there, will they be any better than Gobern or Wotton? Unlikely as what sort of player is going to come to a league one club as cover and 4th choice? However if we go out and sign a top L1 player or NPC player there which improves the standard of the squad and first team then brillaint. Same goes for every other position. What is the point of signing a "cover" player for Lallana? he wont be as good as him for sure, so why sign a poorer like for like replacement? Why not go for a good player who can play left midfield, and also centre or right? Ryan harley for example. If we got him he would give us options of 4-4-2,he could come in for Lallana when he is injured on the left or we can play 4-3-3 or an attacking 4-5-1 away from home with him, Lallana and OC all starting, that would frighten most teams at this level. People on here are so blinkered and just think 4-4-2, like for like replacements without thinking about any other tactics or formations. It is a fact that all the most successful teams dont have "cover" players, they have good squads with options. Who would be your first choice Man Utd midfield out of Nani, Anderson, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Giggs, Park, hargreaves (when fit) & Valencia (again when fit)? They've got 9 good players there all of a similar standard which enable them to adapt to the opposition, fitness and tactics. You wouldn't consider any of them "cover" players and we need to follow this example, not the one we did under Lowe and Burley of just signing player after player which lead to a massive squad full of players not good enough for the level we were playing at. If we simply sign "cover" players then when we get promoted we will have a squad full of L1 players playing in the NPC on contracts that have two or three years left to run on them and the same situation, a squad of players not good enough for the level we need.

He was on the live lounge over Christmas but not heard much from him since, great second album though, first was a bit too much gansta for me.

Right, so it's laughable that we sign players better than we have is it? It's laughable that we add to and improve to the squad, good players enabling us to play formations and tactics other than 4-4-2 and have players good enough to rotate the squad depending on which players are best suited to the opposition, conditions and tactics? If you care to read the whole thread before describing my comments as "laughable" you will see that i am advocating signing players better than we have, not "cover" players like some are. We didn't lose because of our supposedly weak bench yesterday. NA said so himself, we lost because the players that started didn't turn up until half time, by then we were already 1-0 and chasing the game, we also lost due to individual errors, shocking defending for the first goal. According the radio we also played about 5 formations with no width when we were chasing the game which is bizarre.The side we had out yesterday should have won against the team 20th in L1. To suggest we lost because of players that weren't playing is quite frankly, laughable.

F*cking Cortese, not got a clue what he is doing.

Why dont you read the rest of the thread and not the last couple of posts before commenting.

I think what he means is he hasn't turned around HIS mentality. I was sure we would win yesterday and yes it was a shock, no i am not lying.

Isn't relying on winning games what promotion is all about? Maybe i am being thick but to get promotion you have to do this, you have to win games? Although no doubt if we had played one more game than Huddersfield and Bournemouth and were two points above them you'd be moaning that we are only second because we'd played more games. So come on, we are on course for auto promotion in terms of points gained under NA, we can be where you want us to be all things being equal provided we achieve a basic requirement of promotion and win a game of football. What else do you want?

The one thing that really pis*ed me off recently was when Bale and Walcott played well for their clubs and Jamie Redknapp said on sky sports a few weeks ago "it's been a great day for SOuthampton, two players that came through their youth team playing brilliant in the PL" Sorry, how the f*ck is it a great day for SOuthampton when two of the best players in the FL are playing brilliantly for other clubs?

and if we win our game in hand we will be. SO what else do you want?

From what i have been told the players were far too complacent yesterday and as i said above it's a collective responsibility. Adkins appears to have got it wrong tactically yesterday, it souned like we played about 5 formations and the players made individual errors and were complacent and sloppy. IMO opinion i dont buy the "it's the managers job to motivate players". To a certain extent they can help, managing them properly, using them to get the best out of them but in any job if you want to be the best at your profession you need to be self motivated, motivation comes from within, do Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes etc need a manger to motivate them? No doubt they have been helped by them but at 37 years old does Ryan Giggs still have the enthusiams of a 17 year old because he manager tells him too?

What are you going on about?

Read it again, i did answer your question. the FACTs PROVE, he is doing a good job, hence my comment "this indicates he is doing a good job". So now you answer the question, his record so far is enough for promtion in each of the last 6 seasons, what more do you want?

What a wierd thing to say, if someone thought'd we'd win and didn't fit your agenda then they are lying. I thought we'd win, in fact i had money on us winning in an accumulator, but we didn't, it happens.

He has got more points since he has been here than any other team in the league, with possibly exception of Brighton but i cant be arsed to check, this indicates he is doing a good job. In all compeitions P22 W14 D3 L5; 37 points out of a possible 57, average of 1.94 a game, over a season 90 points, enough for promotion in any of the last 6 seasons, what more do you want?
