A) "Shop window" for potential buyers B) You are very lucky

Thank you Mr Pulis Snr

THAT is the worrying bit The rest of the Team must be really Kr*p

You forget we have "lost" Antonio and Papa, both Very Good squad players

Or Rowan Atkinson ??

I have a point of view, of which some will agree, some will not Yes I have played Football, only made Hampshire League level You are right, pre season friendlies ARE to get fit, bond etc........ and also to WIN if possible Winning IS a habit, and Losing IS a habit too I agree it is better to play decent Teams instead of "crap" as you put it, but you should have a relatively "weak" Team lined up to beat , for "morale" building if nothing else I do watch cricket too, and that is just as exciting in its own right. Teams get into the habit of winning in that as well

I could not disagree more. From a morale point of view, a draw is better than a losss, and a win is better than a draw A DEFEAT is confidence draining, and HABIT forming, in the same way as WINS are No point in being the best of mates, and fit, if having crap Tactics

You mean all the Confidence sapping defeats ? "Friendly's" or not, they DO count

It was Doc Martin

Well done Alpine Smart move in reminding Nicola, who had obviously forgotten to get Butterscotch to sign the Contract

IMHO Lallana and Schneiderlin WILL move up to CCC or Prem

ANYONE should have gone in place of Heskey

Bit harsh really. It was only 5 points out of 6, at a very crucial time How on earth can people say that cost us ??? Plenty of matches left to make that up, if everyone else lost of course Get Real

Not quite, by Xmas we were close to sixth. It was AFTER January that we FELL AWAY and then had too much ground to catch up near the end

Take the tinted glasses off mate Getting out of this League will be a lot harder than most people think Ask LEEDS

A very valid post IMHO Pardew has known from day one that the situations re Waigo and Antonio were paramount, yet, apparently nothing has been done Like wise re Bart. If Forecast is our No 2, then you can say goodbye to a lot of points when he plays I know Cortese has total blackout until deals are finalised, but deals SHOULD have been done before now. At this stage, all of the GOOD Buys have been snapped up Pardew said buys would be bought early. Perhaps Cortese's Wonderful Club does not look so wonderful after all from prospective signings point of view

I disagree Cortese, on behalf of Leiberr, is driving Saints FORWARD to regain our lost status All Lowe ever did, was to drive us DOWNWARDS, to where we found ourselves BEFORE Cortese/Leibherr Rescued us BIG BIG difference IMHO

And how much of the Mortgage had been paid back by the time Administration loomed ???? I thought we owed more then than when it first started

Yes, and the way it was FUNDED meant that we owed Megabucks, because it was on the "Never Never" Leibherr PURCHASED the Cliub, and we now have NO DEBTS, unless of course you now tell me that we are in the Financial Mire ????

Sorry, am I using the wrong word ?? Has all the money for PLAYERS come from a bucket collection ??? I misguidedly thought it came from Leibherr Silly me, you will no doubt tell me that it was a donation from Lowe ??? I'm not interested in whether I have the correct technical jargon as you obviously have The stark reality is that SFC are now a viable concern, and the future looks good The future NEVER looked good under Lowe

And I don't think that there is much helping DBP, if he honestly thinks that there is any similarity between Cortese and Lowe Cortese, on behalf of Leibherr, has saved the Club, invested in the Club, and made SFC VIABLE Lowe nearly DESTROYED us And you think I need help ??? WHY exactly ???? Did you prefer us to be in Administration under Lowe ???

News to me, it must have been in a parallel universe How many millions was that then, and what Big Money players did Lowe, on behalf of Southampton Leisure Holdings, get to save us from RELEGATION Sounds like you were a High Flyer with SLH ???

You conveniently forget the fact that Cortese is WORKING FOR LEIBHERR, who, unless I am dreaming, has INVESTED in SFC Big Time

Sorry, I completely forgot about the MILLIONS that Lowe invested YOU are missing the point SFC have had INVESTMENT from Leibherr, fronted by Cortese Lowe INVESTED NOTHING, or did you forget that bit ???

I agree, very little ............... Apart from Cortese, ie Leibherr have Saved OUR Club from extinction INVESTED Millions already as opposed to Lowe INVESTING NIL Pounds, ie NOTHING, ie ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, in either of his tenures Yup, you are right ...... not a lot to choose between them PS You're post WAS a joke wasn't it ????
