More rewriting of history. At the he signed Austin was considered a coup. I remember Shearer on match of the day emploring Newcastle to sign him as he'd be a hero up there. In his early games for us fans we ridiculously overexcited about him and seemed to think he was going to score every time he got the ball. Koeman didn't really pick him that much, Puel didn't in his early games then started to when it quickly became apparent he was the only one we had who could stick the ball in the back of the net. Then of course he missed half the season with injury. Now Pellegrino seems to want to try and play anyone else but him up front. Despite all this His goalcoring record based on goals per game for us is not bad 11 in 33 appearance in all competitions and overall in his career very good, so looking like he's just got in from a night on the p*ss when he plays realistically he's our best option at the moment if we want goals. And yes u agree with about Pelle, was a good player for us and a lot better than a lot of our fans gave him credit for. I remember him being ironically cheered on his home debut and being regularly abused by fans home and away. Now he's what we need! On another note Good to see Percy still obsessing about me, second time he's name checked me in a post in a matter of weeks, this time on a thread I hadn't even posted on until now

We love a crap player who runs around a lot, even better if they clap the fans at the end. See also Steeeeeeweve De Ridder, Tanadari Lee, Bradley Wright Phillips. It's incredible the grief Pelle used to get, now all the f*ckwits are saying his type exactly what we need I don't mind Long, he a decent squad player, works hard and unsettles defences bur first choice striker for a top 10 side, do me A favour.

I was about 7 years old and got danny Wallace's autograph in mikes chippy Midanbury on a Saturday evening.

Charlie Austin has scored more times with another woman than he has for Saints this season. Alledgedly

8 Games, 4 losses, 5 goals 2 of which were penalties, out of one cup already to a lower league side. Not good at all on the face of it. Then factor in he's got a fully fit side which has been improved on from last season, no fixture pile up Puel had to deal with and the fact that our two wins came courtesy of a last minute penalty against 10 men and a narrrow win against a team who can't even score let alone get a point it's been dreadful. There will be those that will say it's too early to judge him and that is fair enough but I can't see anything so far to suggest he's even the equal of Puel let alone an upgrade.

I thought people who voted for independence were all thick, racist scum who hate their kids so surely the police giving these vile individuals a good whack round the canister with their boot or truncheon is something we should all be pleased about?

It ultimately came down to who was left. As we know the black box manager mode has an incredible ability to be tracking managers for years who all just happen to be out of work when we need one. After either we or Marco Silva decided each other wasn't right we were unsurprisingly rejected by Tuchel, Schmidt went to china and that left De Boer and Pellegrini as the only names out of work, um I mean black box recommendations left that we had honestly been tracking for like literally years and had them lined up anyway, honestly we did. It was just coincidence that just like when we appointed Puel and Koeman all the managers we had be tracking for years were all out of work then too.

Bang on pal. Puel was no where near as bad as the *****s make out, still they got what they wanted, it's be goals galore since he went

Surely all that matters is the standard of his interviews? Puel was immediately a punchbag for the dinlows because he was boring, so as long as Pellegrino performs better in front of the mic you lot will be happy.

I wouldn't say incompetence as such but I've had a long running love affair with Jimmy D, if ever someone was drunk on power Jimmy D raises the bar. Way back 6 or 7 years ago Jimmy D became my pet dancing bear, when he infracted me back then. There was a long and heated debate about if we were of not, on an unstoppable march to the champions league in our 50,000 stadium with our team packed full of academy graduates, as was common place back then. I presented a pretty compelling reason, packed full of evidence as to why this wouldn't happen, whilst the replies I got centred around it being possible because they once said man would never walk on the moon. Anyway, infraction incoming for "stamping on peoples dreams" I've received numerous other infractions and even a couple of short term bans from him over the years for the most bizarre of things, mainly the reason giving "pointless or sarcastic comments" as well as several for inventing and using the expression "mongboard" which, despite not only being an apt assessment of some of the total horses*it posted on here it's also quite amusing and has been picked up and reused by numerous other posters, who have as far as im aware, remained infraction free. He also gave me an infraction because I insulted him over PM, when I strongly pointed out that if you're going to infract people for pointless comments that every post should be infracted because afterall, it's a mongboard which no one of any importance (apart from themselves) take notice rendering every post pointless. I have this image of Jimmy D punching they air I delight when his appointment as admin on here was confirmed. I would assume on the rare occasions he speaks to people away from his computer one of the first things he drops into conversation, particularly around the ladies is that he is a administrator on saintsweb, and probably lists in on his CV under achievements alongside his 10m breaststoke award at school. Its always fun when my infractions are down a little bit to get out the stick and poke him a little bit, which benefits us both as I get to laugh at his furious reaction to the most inane of posts and he gets to flex his muscles on here and show everyone how important he is, everyones a winner. Infraction incoming. xxxxx

Get the message Les.

Why?the manager is picking the best players available to him and that isn't Jack Stephens. What's shabby about doing this? You've got serious issues fella, even using the picking of our best defenders to have a go at the club, maybe it's time for a new hobby?

The new version Romeu Lukaku he's our Belgian scoring genius We can't sing about his penis We're politically correct He's Offside when he's errect

By the looks of the them the xxl rails at tk maxx better be well stocked

I think a good place to start would be to change 90% of our fan base. Our fans look like either a mental hospitals day out or a weight watchers group that have been shop lifting at tk maxx. You'd struggle to find a bigger group of bloated, scruffy collection of dinlows anywhere in the world. It should come as no surprise from their appearance that most are incredibly thick as well. The fact that on the rare occasions when we do make any noise they can't cope with a song with more than three lines that needs clapping along like coked up seals suggests the problems runs deeper than a few clappers on seats will fix. They say football reflects society well the society sf southampton is in a pretty dark place if crowds at st Mary's are the guage.

A new song 18 goals in 19 homes games Boring football played at slow tempo Booing home fans and away fans laughing Game after game we're seeing no goals That's not entertainment I say that's not entertainment

What would your wife say if she knew you were posting on here again?

How do you propose that we firstly keep our top players when they are being offered double or more money elsewhere and remain sustainable? Where and how would you "speculate to accumulate"? What calculated risks would you have taken?

I remember one game a few years back and the northam was singing "on the pitch, on the pitch" Then when a few people ran onto the pitch they started shouting "wan*kers" at them, absolutely pathetic. We do have a very weird fan base,

If you check corteses interviews pre saints He always said should he should he ever be lucky enough to run a third tier English football club his first signing would be Dan Harding.in addition If ever he need a right back at that level no one would stand in his way of signing Jon Ostemebor. He Always admired his forays down the fight flank when he was turning out for Liverpool u21s.

Laughable. So NC can sell players and it'd okay because it was part of his strategy, yet when Reed does it it's an absolutely disgraceful lack of ambition, not part of a strategy, a strategy which was has served us well and in part forced on them by what NC did in the first place. Recruting better - Really? are Mayuka, Forren, Ramirez, Osvaldo, Gazzaniga any worse than players signed under this regime? Yes there were some fantastic player success under Cortese, but there have been under this regime too. There have also been failure, just like there were under Cortese. To glibly Cortese would have recruited better is utter BS and not based on any fact or historical performance. As for Pochetino, he may have hung onto him for a bit longer, but do you really think he'd have stayed because Cortese was a great guy and they loved each other? He'd have had a bigger club come in for him by now and would have gone as well. Managers and players don't stay at clubs because of who the chairman is. Still, you keep looking at things level headedly

Believe what you want I don't give a sh*t. What I will say is they aren't rumours and there are plenty more incidents that our tiny Italian was involved in as well. As I said ask yourself this, if Katrina was happy with him why did she want a greater view of what he was doing? Why was Cortese only giving her a top line financial figure and not full access the finances which she had to get rid of him to get? Why did he take out a high interest offshore loan with Vibrac despite brashly claiming a couple of years early that the club didn't do debt, that in good times he would put money anyway for bad? Why did the training ground cost twice as much as budget and delivered 18 months later than planned? Why were there multiple court cases involving the club and everyone one of them settled at the last minute out of court? Why, despite successive promotions did the corporate boxes stay empty, why was a midsize premier league clubs commercial income smaller than a midsized championship club despite playing in the richest league in the world. How despite playing in this league was the best shirt sponsorship deal he could deliver being with the largest recruitment company in Chillworth Business Park? Not rumours, all FACT, same theme here, spending money, not making it. As for delivering on the pitch, I've always said he did a good job in the lower leagues but his ego ran away with him when we got in sniffing distance of the premier league and it all started to go downhill. However do you really think an Italian banker was responsible for signing Fonte, Lambert, Hammond etc all players key to our rise through the league? He appointed a decent manager when he first arrived who built the team, do you think he knew who Pardew was when he was sitting behind his desk at his Swiss bank? Believe what you want and continue to think we'd be so much better off if he was still here, we wouldn't not rumour. FACT.

Yep, asked to stay on if he agreed to toe the line, which he didn't so he was fired, you believe what you want to believe pal, but ask yourself this, is Katrina was so happy with the work he was doing why did she want a change of policy and greater governance over what he was up to? He was supposedly doing a brilliant job after all, why change it? Here's why, he was out of control His ego was running away with him. He was spending money hand over fist, having to take out high interest loans, got bailed out once by Katrina before. He got us a £20m training ground for £40m, mainly due to his knobbish behaviour, wanting a personal lift, getting the builders to deck the toilets out in expensive tiles before demanding they take them all of and do it again as he didn't like them. Refusing to pay them so they had to down tools until he did. He is the only chairman in the history of premier league football to see commercial income go down on back to back promotion, this was his job don't forget, to make the club money. You're never going to do that when you p*ss off pretty much every local business that would spend money with you, including getting himself banned from a top City Centre restaurant for yet more knobbish behaviour Cortese was brilliant at PR for himself, a few well placed journalists happy to suck up to him, the players and managers being made to mention how great he was every time they spoke publically and of course his little stunt of the front cover of the programme. And you saps lapped it all up and sang his name, turning your back on one of the clubs greatest every players because some midget dictator told you what you wanted to hear. It's absolutely laughable people claiming we'd have been in the champions league if he was still here, the reality is we'd be more likely to be in administration again. Still I'm sure people like Fitzhugh Fella who despised him when he was here and all the other saps who lapped up his bulls*it will continue to believe we were so much better run then than now.
