A true great who deserves a special prayer and place in the heart of Saints fans who remember the 1960's.(Both at The Dell,and often after hours at The Testwood Hotel).

Don't care if it was fluked or deserved.Its three important points. Have to build on it though,and I'd like to see some experienced decent players coming in,we know we can't rely on McGoldrick between now and the end of the season despite his goal today.

Is the Bin Lowedin ? Worthy of a poster,or printable download to match the 'Hope you die soon' picture.

Doubt it.The spirit of Southampton as we refer to it was a success as we had a combination of The Dell crowd (vocal and close to the pitch) creating an atmosphere,and players who really cared and were totally committed. It was infectious.Remember Hassan Kachloul in our great escape year.Despite everything said about him later he responded magnificently to the crowd and the drive of Dodd-Benali-MLT. Now we have more 'paying customers' at 'The Rupertdome',a team of inexperienced youngsters without a guiding figure on or off the pitch,mixed with some transient loans and imports who are probably already thinking of where they want to play next season.

You should have said that snippet was,like most on here , straight from the horse's mouth

Tisdale might bring them in the summer then

The new Lee Holmes,mark my words.

St Marys Southampton,or Southampton St Marys as its name.

New manager effect. Just that we don't believe in it,or it goes in the opposite direction when we appoint and it gets worse.

John McGrath as after dinner speaker. Around the table : Ball Channon WGS Lawrie. Or to nip out for a quiet pint: Dennis O'Neil Steele Big Ron during his 60's heyday

Interesting as a post from Ladysaint I think,after the AGM said the Echo editor had pulled the rug from under his sports editor,and declined to run a Lawrie feature about Lowe. He may of course considered it potentially libelous,but at the time I assumed it was merely not wanting to sour their relationship with the club ( or Lowe,who as we know regards himself AS the club.)

Perhaps we did not want him to be cup-tied.A couple of good games,a bout of "home sickness" and he'll be off to Wigan for £2.5m by the close of the transfer window.

Almost as original as : "would anyone like a War Cry ?" "yes,please" "right,...Geronimo......"

Likelihood of planning permission for Staplewood = nil.

The notion of Shearer demonstrates how fanciful this Fulthorpe deal is.Its all sorted in Fulthorpes mind of course but the one essential ingredient that is lacking is the £serious dosh.

You can judge Lawrie entirely on his own record. Not everyone who holds that view of our club will be a 'serial non-achiever' because of their view,its just that both Claridge and Holloway are (IMO)in that category. My point was more to do with them passing judgement as if it were gospel in the media,(and people lapping it up as it suits a purpose).I've also added,that they are right on this issue.

or throwing down a gauntlet to Rupert.

Bizarre how serial non-achievers Claridge and Holloway can be considered fonts of knowledge to sit in judgement.* I'd prefer Cotterill to either of those two.Or even Dowie who has ballsed up at his last two clubs.Adams,I thought was at Brighton. *even if they are correct on this issue

It will be too late by the summer to make any difference IMO.

Just realised Matt Smith has the same hairstyle as Edward Scissorhands and Cherie Blair.

0-5.

I can't help but thinking the mileage in this rumour is that it has travelled from a Southampton forum to a Birmingham newspaper. Hope its true as he'd be an improvement on DG but would have expected other lower prem/better placed CCC clubs to be ahead of us in the que. Also, wages ?

Same profile as for a prospective Pariamentary Labour Party candidate then ?

I wonder how closely the OS will be allowed to follow and publicise her progress. If for example she and Ulrika start talking about footie and Lucy says "Well,I'm a Southampton supporter,always have been and would be again if the arsehole of a chairman Lowe were to leave.." will they run that story ?

..as my border collie is a *****,she is far too ladylike to fart. My labrador a few years ago however liked to let rip!
