But a few weeks ago you and others were saying he is so much better than Walcott, partly due to his great decision making. Which one is it??

A child? He is big enough to come out and mug you off in the press he's big enough to deal with the consequences. He knew what he was doing, dont delude yourself. He said all the right things, SFC is a great club, the fans are great but now it's time, i'm good enough etc etc. That was a well thought out, manipulative statement.

Some people seem to think it's acceptable for a player to come out to the press and say he wants to leave. Some people are making excuses that he's been badly advised, been pushed into it by his dad, his agent etc. Everyone is going on about what a lovely, intellegent, level headed lad he is. Dont fool yourself, he knew what he was doing. He knew he was risking upsetting the club, management and fans. It is not on for any player to mug off the club and fans that pay their wages like that, regardless of their age. I wont boo him, i dont boo our own players, it's pathetic. But f*ck Alex Chamberlain, f*ck Mark Chamberlain. He obviously wants to leave so f*ck him. SFC is bigger than one player, lets go and get players that do want to be here. If he wants to go let him and his ego f*ck off and try and make it where so many others have failed. I know some of you think singing his name and cheering him will change his mind. He'll stand there and think "they love me here, sod it, i'll stay" No amount of clapping or singing his name if going to make him stay. He obviously thinks he is too good for us now. I for one dont want anyone at this club that thinks that way.

not really, the tickets with some removed are for direct debit payers, who will recieve 8 then the rest when they have paid up the full amount by November. If they had just issued them i full like they used to no need for labels or arsing about. Fan wants season ticket, fan gets season ticket, simple.

Sh*t. Congratulations though mate.

What an absolute shambles. It seems that the paranoia that a couple of people might default on their direct debits has caused this mess. Dear oh Dear.

very good revolution, very good. I would hope to win this poll each week, as it seems the most respected posters on here have a blind faith, belief, optimism call it what you will. Anyone with any ounce of realism is shouted down as being negative. I would consider it a badge of honour to be considered by most of our forum superstars the biggest Div on here.

If anyone thinks a polite round of applause and singing his name a little bit in a half empty stadium during a preseason game is going to make him turn down the chance of trebbling his wages and premier league and champions league football then you are bigger divs than i though.

Was that the game when Spurs gave Young Boys a spanking?

Was that the game when Spurs came from behind against Young Boys?

If you wish to assume this, then be my guest. It helps that said sh*tter is also very good looking

could he be the new Alledine Yahia??

I take it you didn't read this part of my last post then; "For the sake of SFC he'd be best off selling AOC to the higest bidder, the best deal for Saints, not the best club for AOC, he has pinned his colours to the mast so f*ck him and all the stuff about selling him to the right club for him that was spouted in January."

THe work toilet after a certain bloke from marketing has taken a sh*t. The worst one is the sewage works on Thomas Lewis Way.

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

You need to increase your beer intake mate. If you up this so you drink so much you puke all the next morning then you'll be able to eat and drink what you want within reason.

Seriously? When you have Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham competing for 3rd and 4th do you really think a club such as Saints will get there? Tottenham cant keep hold of Modric, Arsenal cant keep hold of Fabregas & Nasri, Man U couldn't keep hold of Ronaldo. Players are always looking for the bigger, better deal. Just look at Villa, a club bigger than Saints cant keep hold of Downing, Young, Barry and Milner. Newcastle couldn't keep Andy Carroll. What we need to do is make sure we milk as much money as possible for their transfers and have a great youth set up and scouting network that means when these players do move on we have good other players lined up to replace them. The same way as the likes of Lyon do in France. NC's stance against not being bullied by the big boys is admirable, but it's one mans crusade to change an entire sport, it's a battle he cant win. For the sake of SFC he'd be best off selling AOC to the higest bidder, the best deal for Saints, not the best club for AOC, he has pinned his colours to the mast so f*ck him and all the stuff about selling him to the right club for him that was spouted in January. And FWIW i agree with you about the press and i agree that for AOC as a footballer he'd be best off playing first team football for us next season. But that is football in 2011, money rules. Some of you lot need to stop dreaming and realise that.

Interesting quote from Chamberlain, he appears to agree with my analogy... "It's the same with anyone in any line of work. If you can better yourself, it's silly not to want to move on and do it." You go back to your little comfort blanket (well put Jackonory) that all newspaper reporters are liars.

Spot on Squid. People might want to bury their heads in the sand but any young English player that shows a glimpse of promise is off to a top half premier league club quicker than you can say "the new Jermaine Pennant". That is modern football i am afraid. Maybe now all those on here dreaming of playing the champions league with a team of academy graduates will wake up.

No, no the articles are wrong aren't they, MLG and so on say so.

plenty of direct quoteds on here saying he wants off. I know some of you will try to spin it that he is really saying he wants to play for us in the champions league though. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3703856/Southamptons-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-has-stated-his-desire-to-join-a-top-four-club-like-Arsenal.html

especially if there an no XXXXLs in stock.

and it matters not if we think he should stay or not, he'll do what he wants. I just wish if he does go they'd get on with it and we spend them money on players that do want to be here.

I thought you had me on ignore you clown?

Update from outside SMS. great night with jack and maureen from Shirley. Nothing like a rendition of your favourite saints songs at 2.30am. We played guess the crowd for 2 hours with jack able to remember every attendance from the 89/90 season. At the moment we are just sitting here is a state of perpetual excitement, sweating, flushed and chomping at to get what we are here for. We were hoping to see the 9 but it appears he isn't a true loyal fan or else he'd be here with us other fanatics. Reporters from SSN, fox sports, ESPN, BBC are all here and rumour has it 10,000 Japanese fans have just arrived at Eastleigh airport by charter jumbo. Back of the queue people!! I hope Nicky hurries up with the teas we're parched!!!
