Garry Monk is the new Tim Sherwood

Time to bring back Hummel then...?

I find it baffling that anyone stills thinks Saints would be in the market for a player like this. Firstly, he doesn't fit the profile of the type of "young & hungry" player we sign. Secondly, if Mopo and the club didn't think we had sufficient cover then they would not let Fox go without lining up a replacement. Thirdly, if this bloke's not good enough for WHU then why would we want him?!

Done. Got a lot of time for Cov fans. Good luck.

Spot on

In every career people move jobs for more money and better prospects, it doesn't mean they don't have good & happy memories of a former employer.

OK, so if you compare expectation of him with what he has returned, there's no denying he's been disappointing. Hopefully he will still deliver and meet those expectations. But even if he never does, I will always LOVE the fact that we signed him. Remember Liverpool fans up in arms that a player of his calibre would chose us over them? Remember Lawrenson on MOTD declaring "Ramirez to Southampton will never happen"? It was the first signing we had made in a very long time that made fans of the top clubs jealous of us - and that was brilliant.

Give one of the Champions League places to the FA cup winners, that'd revive it overnight

The article this links to appears to have been written by Sinead O'Connor...

I quite like watching games via internet stream that have foreign commentary. Despite being able to understand very little of what's being said, it still makes about as much sense as the some of the utter nonsense that the likes of Andy Townsend comes out with. (Townsend is my personal, stand-out hate figure in any commentary box, despite his Saints background) You obviously still get the crowd noise and atmosphere through the commentators voice - and if you buy some cheap lager and use a bit of imagination it has the added advantage of feeling like you're in a bar on holiday somewhere.

Isn't he simply saying that he believes 'Britishness' is defined by the general public being happy to watch a local sporting event where none of the participants are British? OK - so he's got his facts wrong in that there was not an 'all-foreign' south coast derby, but there's nothing derogatory implied in his comments at all, if anything he's using it in a positive way to paint a picture of a cosmopolitan and multi-cultural society. Had he said all people who watch football on the south coast have no teeth, play the banjo and enjoy the company of sheep I could understand people getting upset, but whilst his facts are incorrect they aren't exactly anything to worry about! Maybe he meant to say 80% of the players were non-british, or maybe he meant to say Arsenal v Chelsea.

Mate please come them coming, they're tremendous

You forgot Cisse!

You forgot Cisse!

Absolutely love it

You're absolutely right, I have totally failed to spot this due to it's extreme subtlety. Mind you, I'm terrible for that. This reminds me of the time I failed to spot my own sweat in the ocean. Thanks for picking me up on it though!

Yep, 3-1 for me too. I would love to say 3-0 but can't quite allow myself to believe we're capable of consecutive clean sheets just yet!

OK... The OP has a better user name than you (I'm guessing this is a game, right?)

Cheers mate!

Mine is quoted pretty much directly from Stewart Lee

*Yes, first the coloureds and now the gays! Soon they'll be nobody left to be prejudiced against will there? What's society coming to?! They'll be telling us we can't be sexist next, you mark my words. (*and just in case there’s anyone from the Mail on Sunday reading this, that's not what I think, I was using an exaggerated form of the rhetoric and the implied values of the OP to satirise the rhetoric and the implied values of the OP.)

Opening this thread took 3 seconds of my life that I'll never get back

Lambert even after he's missed one.

Crikey, I didn't realise a contingent of our fans were eating glory hunters!
