I'm not quite as alarmist-thinking as Alps, no need to panic yet, but I do think his sentiment is essentially correct. We need to reinforce to ensure that promotion is indeed ours. I hope we have the ability (Cortese's reputation to package an attractive deal in the market is of course one of our weaknesses) to attract some serious quality to reinforce ourselves not just for promotion but to bolster our chances of staying in the Premiership in 12/13. Again, no need to panic yet, but we need to become the CCC team of choice the best wish to come to in every department. We need to bolster. We need to improve our squad robustness to see this brilliant campaign out to its rightful conclusion - promotion. We therefore need strength in depth to cope without the Lamberts and Chaplows. I share the sentiment, though not the panic!

Sounds like a combination of sour grapes and a complete lack of interest in a player who is League 1 standard at best. Why would we want him? He's simply not good enough for the Premiership!

To be fair to the original Ted Bates statue it was never as embarrassing as this….

Anyone remember when it was brought down by coalition forces?

Oh god Farmer that made me laugh too. Brilliant! Even Lowe must've found that funny!!

BRILLIANT! Absolutely brilliant.

I love threads on 'statue'. God it was funny at the time…. and a massive loss to civilisation when the original unveiling thread was lost on here! God that was real tears in the eyes laughter stuff. Golden thread of all time on here frankly. But, I was so pleased that Crouch paid for a replacement to be proud of. What ever happened to the original?

Bristol 1 Saints 4

Poyet: "Do you know the jokey, 'pull my finger' ? I den makey a farty noise like my teams performance. Its very fanny."

I thought that was quite funny… and to be fair it was ever so slightly accurate at one stage!

Brilliant! Although his cock-ups did even out to be fair.

We'll hammer them. Adkins hates Brighton. The more they wind us up the more we'll score against them at SMS. I'm going for an easy Saints win to be honest.

Sounds like they're trying to replicate Lowe's 5 years plan more like…. going down! Going down… going down (etc)

What a mad thread! lol Premier League s only a bit naff if we're crap in it. But the Club's ambition is to not settle for Premiership mediocrity but to push on and 'become the Barcelona of the South' as I recall. Bring on the prawn sandwiches if that's the case!!! COYRs!!!

My first thoughts too!

2 footed tackle = minimum of yellow which when added to another yellow = OFF Fergie junior tut tut tut. Anyway, we then gave them a chance when we could have properly humiliated them!

I'm not sure which I hate more… Ian Holloway or Leeds. Frankly a mundane draw of 0-0 would probably have satisfied me more!

We chilled out, but to be fair…. we done good again!!!

Coyr!

10 man posh against the champions-elect! EASY! EASY! EASY!

We are Southampton, we're top of the league

2 in 2 mins. EASY! EASY! EASY!

2-0!!!

Come on Chappers!!! YESSSSSSSSS!

Are we 'w00ting' or 'tearing them a new one' tonight?
