  1. Good old David Peach..full of heart..When he did his London Marathon for charity in the late 80s about 88/89, stayed with my family in North London. My son and I, got him to start at Greenwich on Blackheath and ran down to Cutty Sark in order to cheer him on.We then ran through to Isle Dogs in the foot tunnel and cheered him on coming on the Island and running off to go to Catherine Dock to Tower of London..At this stage he had done about 20 miles and looked all in..We were able to remind him of all his charity sponsors and that all Saints fans thought he was a legend...Good old Peachey not only kept going but made it to the finish. We had caught him up by getting tube from tower hill to Westminster.We had the easy job but on that day he showed what a true Saint and lots and lots of guts...I kept telling everyone he was a Saint, a legend,cup final and all that...A great player for Saints...Yes I know many others have achieved this but this was Peachey..great man..great memories. I'm not sure he did another one after that.
  2. You have picked up on some of the problems..Surely the coach JP will soon. May I respectfully request that you get down to Staplewood and have a word in his ear..A little help may go a long way..Please, before it is too late.
  3. Agboola more right back? or even sweeper?
  4. Apart from Gabriel/McGrath, Dennis Hollywood probably one of the hardest on the field but a nice guy away from football...we could do with some of these players now to stiffen up the back line.
  5. Some sensible accurate and constructive view of a very talented lad who will flourish in the big time and play many games for England. As you say he is a class act.....Thank you.
  6. Grew up watching Tommy Traynor and then Dennis Hollywood. Very much like Wayne Bridge for my greatest saints side with David Peach a close second. Wayne BRIDGE for LB.
  7. Maybe problems with age soon..as Terry Paine is on his way soon re his book? He will be required on the right for crosses for Ron... Wait John Sydenham is coming back from oZ for the left..by xmas the average age will be 100..then again we might get some goals and win some games. You have to have a larf with the good old boys.
  8. Sorry about the dots bad habit with morse code.....managed to get rid of the -----just the.....to work on eliminating....... Round in circles with your team of buddies...Lowey is God no matter what happens and there in lies the answer until we go over the edge and then blame everyone else... Keep up the good work nick....The Mob are proud of the support....The real fans will hope for one last attempt at Emegency action very soon...Even an attempt might be worth a go...Off to work, keep plugging away with your best.
  9. As you know and your buddies state time and time again...too late he has gone and whatever you say is doing a good job at The foxes....BUT unfortunately the replacements are sadly not up to it and you and The Lavender Hill Mob know this...So new Director of Football and First team coach now.....Emegency treatment now not when it is too late.....No good talking about what might have been...Please do not leave this group in place to slowly slide down the cliff face...It needs real business people in place to-day with real football people even to attempt a late recovery...No use meandering on through to xmas with Lowey navigate.
  10. What a load of Tosh...Pearson is and always will be streets ahead of anything we have to-day.....It has been a terrible example of a personal game for Lowey and how he plays with his little toy. He is not a good business man and that is proved ever day he points the ship towards the rocks. He got rid of Pearson for one reason and one reason alone, to play with his toy on his own and in his own way......He was never going to keep Pearson...Lowey has a massive ego and we all know it...Considered decisions my foot. This Lavender Hill Mob around him must owe him big time. Those on this forum who are mates associates or business buddies or have been entertained at the top table should stop this nonsense and come clean..That includes those who on here appear to work for some sort of agency .. All brothers together with this support of the saviour as we slide over the cliff. Pearson being shoved through the door highlighted lowey for his lack of leadership for the 58th time...A joke and now we are a Dutch joke...
  11. Ron Davies is on his way back.....Time to get your boots out Matt. Your club needs you.
  12. Good news arriving just goes to show that we can all see hope for the coming years. Very pleased to hear about Chris and Ron and their improved situation...Look forward to hearing the result of the second op..Hope all goes well for them both in the future... I have a very good mate who is a Norwich fan and he was also delighted to hear the good news. It would appear that Ron is required to play for The Canaries as well as the Saints when he is fully fit. Best Wishes Ottery
  13. I wish some one would pay him off and the rest of the mob....Put him in the chair..your Lowey must be having a larf..Get rid of the lot...There a laughing stock.. Business men....No chance. Football men.....No chance. The end is nigh...and if this has any legs...then Lowey really is having his final revenge on the real fans.
  14. To be fair the powers to be and 4/5 posters on here thought it right he get at least 3 years to bring about total football.......Give him and Lowey Time.......No chance.. He will not have the same side in Jan if he is still here let alone the end of the season.. As each game goes by it really becomes too late to attempt to save us from the big fall.
  15. Lowey taken a few million onions from this club, in his time, for very little return...One big expensive ego that onion.
  16. Forgot The Great Tony Godfrey........Great Little Un..
  17. Not forgetting Ethel The Tea Lady......Cost us a fortune and it has never been the same. Bring Back Woggy.
  18. John Hollowbread..God Bless Him.....Because he ran our local pub for years AND A GREAT BLOKE..... But For this team The Best has to be Shilts... Peter SHILTON.
  19. Lowey to have full and total control of all team matters....He is being restricted by these wanabees Wotte and JP....Give the young Lowey some room....He is a real future continental coach.......Preferably in Bulgaria or Albania, starting Monday morning....
  20. Correct me if I am wrong but a few Managers have said similar nice things about the Saints side......The nice side that we are at times needs to start winning, as all the nice things said will not count and we will be in the lower leagues playing some of those really not so nice teams......We have to get better at winning and that is where we seem to be going in the wrong direction.
  21. Good old Fred...His wife was a reasonable ref as well.....Plus the son....A family of officials....I think they all refereed me at times around Southampton parks.......By the sound of it all three better than to-days ref.
  22. I think we might have to adopt some other strategy...like coaching the team to win some games...Tactics/team selection/formations......Even if the ref was rubbish to-0day...which by all accounts, he was.. We can not keep saying this all season...Back to a football team and win some games..regardless of the rub of the green.....But I have to admit I have had a real go at some refs over the years....So I know how some of you must have felt to-0day.
  23. I think Lowey pays out for both sides in order that he can stay in the limelight at all costs........He is the real Luvvie.......The old ham.
  24. I really have to say some of the supporters that come on this forum and give us match reports/there own personal take on aspects of the whole package a big thank you....Others appear to come on here to attack other posters and do not really contribute zilch.....we are all supporters of the team...and whatever some of you so full of yourselves think..deep down even Alpine and others like me really want us to win.... At least be constructive about events and ignore me.....Oh! You already have... But once again thank you for many others with their thoughts on matches.... Let us hope our luck and some better refs appear over the horizon soooon. Up the Saints.. Ps It is just my opinion about some of you being right up yourself.....Even I am sometimes.
  25. Nick yours are still the best points.
