I think you might be right there, great player and an okay manager but as a man a complete *****. I remember rumours when he was England manager of him belittling players, including Beckham at training and also at his various clubs he would do things on the training ground to prove to he players that he thought he was better than them. I remember talking to Gary Monk and Paul Hughes in the Rhino one night and they were saying how much he thought of himself. Didn't someone once nickname him Chocolate? Apparantly because if he could he would eat himself.

i was at the game against Italy when Matt got slated by the press and even with SFC tinted glasses on, felt that it was very unfair, on another night he'd have scored a couple and been a hero, that was the end for him as an England player IMO. That Russia game, he was superb, scored a a hattrick, hit the woodwork twice and was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch, even just to have had him on the bench would have been worthwhile, the way his international career panned out was such a shame and totally Englands loss.

Well she was driving a Ford Focus, so even being generous from a ford dealer you are looking at what, £100 tops, so what did the other £700 odd go on?

i am sure all you burger munchers will be licking your big, fat, cholestrol filled lips at the thought of best in class half time snacks.

That story cant be true, they didn't say it resembled a scene from Braveheart and there was no pregenant women or 85 year old men running for their lives.

I am going to go into direct competition with Stu and the trust, you can buy shares in my new group, the Independant trust of Saints, each share is £5, for which you get access to a half finished website which never gets updated and regular social events such as meeting for a drink in the predesignated pub before games, you pay for this online at £10 a time. You also get to see your leader, me, quoted as your voice in the echo on such earth shattering subjects as 'do you think the queues for half time burgers are too long at St marys?' Cant wait to se my name in lights alongside superstar fans like Chorley, McMillan, McFeat etc...

I notice Perry Macmillan is now commenting in the echo as a member of Saints Independant Supporters trust. We've also got the saints trust, with the not so democratically elected chairman Jason Mcfeat adding his two pennies worth in, are SISA still going? What about the saints away supporters, Save our Saints? anymore anyone can think of?? I might create my own, who is in?

to be fair its not the kids fault. But what they need is not a signed football shirt but some sort of education showing that daddies example is not one that they should follow. Charity workers in this field should devot time to this, things like getting ex-cons to run workshops telling them of the pain and suffering caused by their actions and how having a criminal record makes it a lot harder to get a decent job and despite what the press will have to believe prision is not a holiday camp, rather than running around trying to get signed football shirts.

no one.

Ohh you are to late, you cant join in our game.

dave Beasant, Dennis Wise, no i didn't google it.

oh FFS sake, stop being so pedantic.

think of something more funny and original than that for starters.

Leciester, result 2-2, 2-0 down at Half time, jame Beattie scored the other, satisfied?

Name the Southampton players that have been part of the England world cup squad since and including 1966. Pointless i know because everyone will just go straight to google.

patrick Colleter.

and if they'd have won that night they would have gone up automatically.

It doesn't matter, it was my seat.

Why pay £106 when you could have nicked your own after the Brighton game, still got mine upstairs in a box.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8693088.stm When we were in admin we couldn't offer any new contracts to anyone. Its becoming a farce.

Funny you should say that, i read a story about a Man City fan a few years ago that was addicted to football, not joking, he was even banned at one point but kept on going despite this even though he got ejected every week from the game. His defence was that he was addicted to it, like a drug, I guess if people can make out to their wives they are addicted to sex when they cant stop ****ging fit birds then why cant you claim to be addicted to football?

I think it sounds okay, i remember when they played at the Dell in about 1988 they did it loudly for what seemed like about 20 minutes. Better than any song sung at 1 billion MPH with clapping to go with it.

Southampton: Bialkowski, Ostlund, Baird, Pele, Bale (Skacel 56), Belmadi, Viafara, Guthrie, Surman, Jones (Best 55), Saganowski (Rasiak 87). Subs Not Used: Davis, Cranie. Booked: Pele, Surman. Davis was on the bench, he may have been injured, but i thought he was recalled for the second leg after being dropped for the first. anyone know? Remember Saganoski hitting the bar from about 5 yards out when easier to score in the first leg?

It doesn't matter, if we dont go up its our own fault. We are the only team in the division with any real money, already have IMO the best squad which is going to be added to with better players. A challenge will come from Huddersfield, Sheff Wed, Millwall/Swindon, Plymouth and i'd expect MK Dons and Brighton to have better seasons, but if we dont go up we only have ourselves to blame.

To be fair jone and Bale both got injured in the first leg and couldn't play. Pele got shown up by the might Steve Howard and cost us both goals so played in midfield and Davis should never have been dropped for Bart in the first place. But yes, Burley never did seem to know what his best team was.
