Block 5

Hammond or Wotton? Hammond or Wotton? Hammond or Wotton? The words 'no' and 'brainer' spring to mind.

You are factually incorrect. However you are right, of course it's not acceptable. But if you think that you can do better.......etc etc. The fact is that we have a new manager and 8 new players who have never played together, coupled with a bunch of kids who only know how to lose because some sick, twisted individual thought he could pay two Dutch clowns a pittance to manage a team of infants. That kind of f*ckup takes time to fix.

I thought today was an improvement. We looked pretty tight at the back, even at set pieces, which have been our undoing for far too long. When we used the width we looked threatening, but the hoofball just isn't working. It may do if someone can build a good understanding with Lambert. I thought AP's substitutions were astute today; Mills on for Mellis (who hadn't done much), Thomson for Patterson (who never looked like scoring) was a good move, with Lallana moving upfront, but by far the best sub was Morgan for Perry, with Lloyd dropping to RB, Thomas to CB and Schneiderlin in MF. Unfortunately MS didn't quite cut it..... the whole point of bringing him on was to add an attacking edge, but his first touch was to turn round and pass back into our defence. This set the tone for the rest of the game and he simply wasn't attacking enough. Mills gave their RB some problems when he came on, but didn't manage to provide the killer ball into the box. I think we will turn the corner when we start utilising the width of the pitch and getting down the wings with pace...... but of course for that to work you need a fast forward to get on the receiving end of the ball..... which is where Papa will be used (IMHO) because Lambert, Pogo Patterson and Saga have no pace. Overall I am encouraged enough to go to Charlton next week rather than stay at home like far too many (regular) posters on this forum who seem to revel in their doom-mongering and nay-saying. I agree with St Marco and Weston Saint that we are improving and wins are coming our way soon.

Same here....... Shame it was all for nothing.

No thanks.

I watched "13 Tzameti" last night. This is one of the most tense thrillers I've ever seen. It is superbly shot and directed; and the story, although simple will have you on the edge of your seat. Here's a trailer to whet your appetite: http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2226323737/

Oh dear.

Serie A striker in division 3........ I must be dreaming!

Subject to work permit clearance. The deal will be done when he is given the green light.

He'll do.......

20th if we're lucky.

I reckon you're right. Striker announced tomorrow with Jaidi to follow by the end of the week? Hopefully in time for the U's game........they will be on a 'bounce' with a new manager by the look of it. By the way....what happened to our 'bounce'?

Just how worse off would we have been? Bottom of division 3? Oh.....

Agreed.

Do the club have to wait for league approval before announcing?

Chortle!

Pony & trap.

You are quite clearly a 'positroll'.

I think we all know that anyway.

You have until Friday 4th to email the club and tell them. Send your comments via post or email to ksouthwell@saintsfc.co.uk or to Kelly Southwell, The Ticket Office, St. Mary's Stadium, Britannia Road, Southampton, SO14 5FP by Friday 4th September 2009.

Not much really.

Source?

Agreed. A fiver is pretty reasonable. £10 for a family of 4 is a bargain. Maybe if we all email them they'll reduce it to £2 for anyone.

According to the OS... we decide the pricing. The Ticket Office has drawn up proposals for ticket pricing as follows: • Adult tickets to cost just £5 • Concessions at £2 • Family of four for £10 • Group discounts applicable upon request (20+ people) We would very likely run with just two stands but have reserved seating. Let us know what you think. Any final pricing structure will need to be agreed with the opposing club but we'd like to hear your views on the proposed prices, or any other ideas you may have to help maximize attendances. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1767276,00.html Pretty good IMO.

Stay chilled Tac..... tis only the Stevo being a cheeky wum.
