sorry couldn't listen!

lol!!! Given that they have totally failed in managing the finances - no outsiders at fault - and continued signing players even in the latest window - I think its fair to say they have f.all chance of using that

getting boring now! Administrator on solent at 9.20

they made it clear at the start postal or phone.

ok, you stick with songs about the team down the road who none of the players, manager etc care about but makes the 14 year olds feel big!

lol! and you said don't mention Charlton! Fergie has better record.

away fans view Like being in dreamland when Matty Richards scored early doors. With the class that Southampton have it was never going to last which was the case. Tempted not to slag the Walsall players off.. Sure Saints were given plenty of space and there were one or two individual errors but there's no doubt in my mind now that Southampton are the best team in the division and I agree with Zidane....had they have started with 0 points they would have led this division for some time. Alan Pardew has done a great job at St Mary's and Saints have produced a very good squad who look so comfortable on the ball. Rene Gillmartin did keep the score down with some useful saves. I don't think the scoreline will dent his confidence at all. You could argue not the ideal game to introduce him back into the fold...I don't go along with that. Biggest defeat of the season... not downhearted myself....sometimes you have to admire the quality of the opposition and say well done to them...this was one such occassion. They played us off the park at Bescot and they have done again here today. No other team will com close to putting eight past us over the two games this season.

wum

no too busy listing Schneiderlins bad games?

posted it before, but the only thing from NC I have seen is The Solent NC comment, word for word When asked by reporter for his thoughts on week ahead He said - that whilst a trip to wembley and progress in fa cup are nice things to have the reason for serious investment in the team is about getting into the league one play offs its our top priority, the latest league results have not been satisfactory against that objective and he looks forward to the team getting back to winning says against Norwich on Saturday. Not seen anything hinting that he has given AP a bollocking

that statement has been over analysed and also taken out of context /miss quoted imho

start the game, get atmosphere going and show AP, NC and everyone else that he is the right man for us at the moment.

talksport said a while ago NC goes into changing room a lot. There is very little, if any, evidence of NC giving AP a hard time - none of him giving him bollockings. I suggest that if echo were not out to get at NC, and there were no forums everyone would be happy!

disagree. Think he works hard, slows the game down when we need to, happy to look up and find a pass - even easy one - when two players on him. Tackles and closes down pretty well as well. Bloke behind me keeps going on about a great tackle by Hammond when clearly Schneiderlin! (lack of capt's armband is a clue!)

I wonder what their set up will be in CCC next year? parachute payment already gone to debts "cut to the bone" inevitably small crowds even if they don't have further points they could struggle

good to hear and big of you, but you weren't one of the ones I recalled writing him off.

winning home games and drawing away is automatic promotion standard. if Pardew continues in that vain I am sure Cortesse will be very happy with him (plus the good cup performances). it is unfortnuate that the play off teams have decided to have top form as well. I hope / suspect this is somthing and nothing and mischief making by others on here. who knows in football though! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8541183.stm doesn't sound like someone who had just been sacked / resigned?

it did really sound like a boo for first touch, I caught on after that - hope he did!

not had the benefit of seeing the video so will accept that. Mine was how it sounded on bbc web site

think interview change when started talking about the bleak disappointment (or an away 0-0!)

actually has as much factual basis as other "guesses"

from their fan site Manager Chris Hutchings recalled Rene Gilmartin in place of Clayton Ince and he had plenty to do as Walsall made their first ever trip to St Mary's. In the second minute of the game Radhi Jaidi fouled Troy Deeney just outside the box. From the direct free kick Matty Richards struck home with his left foot to give Saddlers a shock lead. Southampton hit back strongly and Gilmartin was forced to make three good saves including two from corners as the home side quickly got moving forward and they didn't have to wait very long to get back into the game as on 7 minutes Rickie Lambert found Jason Puncheon who's shot cruely hit the inside of the post and went over the line. On 22 minutes Southampton thought they had scored again but Lee Barnard's effort was ruled offside. Ten minutes later Walsall won a corner which Julian Gray took but it came to nothing. Just a minute later Southampton took the lead through Barnard thanks to a pass from Lambert. It didn't take Saints long to get their third goal as on 37 minutes Jon Otsemobor crossed for Barnard to slam home. By now it was all one way traffic and Walsall were powerless to stop Saints who were playing some good football and were in a confident mood. In the second half Richards was forced to clear off the line. Southampton were looking dangerous and it came as no suprise when they got their 4th.The hardworking Otsemobor found Lambert who cooly finished off. Hutchings made a double substitution on 67 mins with Rhys Weston and Steve Jones replacing Darryl Westlake and Darren Byfield. It was a welcome return for Jones who had been out for several weeks.He had one shot go wide and a header from the edge of the box suffered the sam fate. In the final minute Walsall's bad day was complete had they let in a fifth goal as Lallana fired home. There were no complaints regarding the scoreline as Saints really looked a good side and Walsall had great difficulty in dealing with them. Walsall often let the home side have too much space which they exploited. Westlake had a poor game by his standards and Hutchings will probably give him a rest now. There was so very little from Walsall as an attacking force and Saint gave Saddlers a lesson in how to finish

early days and playing at a lower level but looks a better defender than Claus
