Surman at left mid, Skacel at left back. Holmes won't be missed, very poor IMO.

Itchen bridge over Troubled Wotte.... Sorry, **** poor

Wotte Load of B0ll0cks Wotte's the Point Wotte Happened Next Wotte's it like in League 1

Lowe doesn't want to be seen as firing another manager so he got Wilde to do it. This is the only reason Wilde has spoken IMO. If Lowe speaks up about JP leaving then it's obvious (as if it isn't anyway) that Wilde does sweet f.all and Lowe does everything.

The reasons given for Pearson leaving were of course pure B U L L S H I T !!! (as are the reasons given for Jan leaving, Sturrock leaving, WGS leaving etc etc) It wasn't.... because Pearson didn't work with youth because Pearson was too expensive (did they offer him a contract on reduced money ? No) It was because he was not appointed by Lowe because Lowe wanted to dazzle the world with his Dutch dream. How I miss Scooby with his Bootboy vs The Golden Duo stuff...

Actually thinking about it... it's a Wigleyesque, Dodd and Gormanesque appointment. Promote from within - proabably waste another 5 games and then get in a proper manager as a last throw...

Wotte may indeed be worse but we were 100% nailed on going down with Poortvliet in charge. I agree with you that Wilde and Lowe are useless. I disagree and say that this isn't anything other than Lowe's decision. IMO, Wilde does sweet f.all except have his name on the Boardroom door - oh yeah... and he puts his name to a statement whenever there something that the Football Club Chairman really should be doing.

Thank **** for that. I am of the opinion that a relatively competent manager could just about keep us up this season. We have no idea that Wotte will be a competent manager but nothing else was ever going to happen - we were never going to abandon the Dutch experiment.

-----------Davis James---Perry-----Saeijs-----Molyneux lallana---Wotton---Skacel----Surman ---------Saga-----Euell subs: Smith, McGoldrick, schneiderlin, Lancashire, Bart No where near it: BWP, Holmes

93 mins, Ken Monkou, Norwich away, 5-4, retrieves ball from net, boots it out the ground.

Waste of space. Not a defensive midfeilder, not an attacking one either. contributed nothing at all today. Some nice skills and some decent passing. That's it. never gets forward enough to create a goal / have a shot and can't tackle for sh!t. Propaganda player. wehen surman plays in the middle he's not much better either though he at least breaks forward occasionally.

Every time he's on the radio, Jan talks a load of inintelligible, meaningless sh!te. There is no way that his changes when he's on the sideline or at the training ground.

Why doesn't any radio interviewer ask why he played Holmes and ****-Phillips on the wrong sides

I see no evidence whatsoever that Jan does great work on the trining ground. No one can understand the *** so how can he be a great coach. He needs to be gone as he is useless.

Top post. I was going to write this but I was going to put lots of ****s, ****s and ****s in it.

Smith did more in 10 mins than Holmes has done since he signed.

Davis 7 - Did all he could, some good catches and blocks, one ill-advised rush from the line James 5 - Some good tackles but just gets bullied too often. didn't have a clue where to play when Perry went off, more JP's fault than his. Molyneux 5 - Swung wildly between very good and very poor... have to remember it's his 2nd league game ever. Perry 7 - Solid match until sacrificed by tactical genius Saeijs 7 - Good game, solid, took no sh!t. Shame he'll be gone after we go down. Holmes 1 - Waste of space. Is rated by some and he does have some skil but a lack of pace kills him. Totally ineffective and played on wrong wing by tactical genius. Schneiderlin 2 - The definition of 'propaganda' footballer. Nice skill, some nice passing, contributes s0d all in the final analysis. Holding midfielder who can't tackle for sh!t. Wotton would be more effective. Surman 2 - See Schneiderlin. Wright-Philips 2 - Average in first half, pitiful in 2nd. Couldn't be bothered. Totally ineffective and played on wrong wing by tactical genius. 3 years we've had this useless fucq. McGoldrick 6 - Thought he tried his best given the appalling service from midfield. Saganowski 7 - Well taken goal and worked well to make the most of pitiful service. Smith 7 - I groaned when he came on but he did more in 15 minutes than Surman, Schneiderlin, Holmes and BWP managed between them. Played on wrong wing by tactical genius. Lallana 4 - The usual, looked pretty, delivered not a lot. Poortvliet 0.5 Wingers on the wrong wing. Wingers too far forward given that McGoldrick was playing right up front. This left the 'human shield' (PMSL) of Surman and Schneiderlin with too much to do and they didn;t even try. The substitution of Perry is the sort of thing you try when there is 10 mins to go and you're 2-0 down... not half an hour and 1-0 and it was ****ing obvious that the 3 at the back formation had never been practised from the look on the faces of the players. The radio explanation of 'getting Schneiderlin to play in front of the back 4' was just shiit as that's where he is supposed to play anyway FFS. The midfield was appalling from the 1st whistle and we had Gillett and Wotton on the bench who could have come on and at least made it competitive. Jan, you are the weakest link... now f*ck off.

I've been saying this for months. He's ****ing clueless.... He'll be gone by Monday... that's wht Lowe does... fans call for Lowe Out and he sacks the manager to deflect attention.

I wonder if he'll get a game. Plays same position as Robinho

depends if we play 'as well' as we did v Forest

I expect he'd seen Jordan Robertson play loads... like he said.... B O L L O C K S !!!!

Bitterne Bowl, 1989ish with my mates, I was about to bowl when a rogue ball came bouncing across and hit me on the ankle. Much hilarity from the lane two away from me from Alan Shearer. His mate, who had bowled the offending ball come over and apologised, saying the ball had slipped out of his hand and he'd accidentally chucked it backwards. No worries Franny...

Spot on. IMO he's not been playing because of appearance money in his contract which interestingly, was not published in the Echo. I see no other reason why JP wouldn't pick him, not because he's brilliant or anything but because he's obviously better than Gobern, Gillett etc. Also, Paterson has been picked up front when Euell would have been a better option... Maybe appearance money wasn't leaked to the Echo because it would show that JP had his hands tied to a degree when picking the side...

I know that the current St.Mary's site kind of fell into SFC's lap. Coincidentally, I was working at British Gas at the time of the sale and as far as I know, St Mary's is built ont he site of the old Brittania Road depot. Stoneham had fallen through and it was all dead in the water. I always had the feeling that Lowe was happy to take the credit for St.mary's when in fact, all he really did was purchase a site that fell into his lap, got a mortgage and called in Barr's Construction. Call me a cynic but I reckon any reasonably competent man could have sorted that one out. I heard there was a lot of opposition to the retail schemes from the retailers in Eastleigh. Also, there were problems Eastleigh Council being a pain because the stadium wasn't to be inside Southampton. IMO, these objections are not the sort of stop a football stadium on their own. I don't what else caused it to be shelved.

Worst.... Wigley, Gray, Merrington (harsh but he was complete cack)... oh hang on... Burley was sh!te Best.... Lawrie, WGS, Bally, Hoddle Nicholl did well for a while
