The Saint

I think all games are covered but from reading other posts, it may be a regional thing. I've watched every game so far this season, together with some Italian, French and Spanish games

Watched the game on AlJazeera today, very stable and even HD at times...!!

Doe this finally dispel the myth that MP doesn't speak English. Will the doubters now concede...?? Spoken like a true mush.......!!

I read the report saying Krueger was addressing a gathering on the subject of leadership.

A dozen posts in and the slanging match has started already..... I'm feeling positive about him, but I'd really like to know what his remit is. Has KL stated what precisely his job will be? And how will he work with Les Read? He's saying all the right things at the moment and has, on paper, all the right qualities needed for the coming years. Let's welcome him into the Southampton Way. I for one will be keen to see what he can do.

Whoopie... Result..!! On the next bus down the M27 I assume...

So PP has gone... Who else?

We're in just about the highest position we can reasonably expect to be. Apart from maybe Everton, who can we look forward to overtaking next season...? I seriously wonder how some posters get through their week with such negativity in their lives...

How do I know...?? Of course I don't know that any more than you do... I'm replying to the OP, who asked if I would care if MP left the club. The answer is clear to me, yes I would care. We have some incredible talent coming through and watch us today it's clear that we are 80% of a very, very good PL side. Would we win the PL with the extra 20%. No, of course not unless the owners put up some serious cash. And then you would ask, would I want that and the answer is no, I don't want to be a Chelsea or Man City. No we didn't win these games. But how much higher up the PL should we be aiming? To win it is the ultimate aim but you have to take a step back and ask what is a realistic target. We're not the finished article by any means, but we're getting there. What do you really expect from MP, or any other manager you can name, in the time that he's been here? I just hope he doesn't read this forum. I was as hacked off as everybody else after the last two games. But get real....

I really, really (no, really..!) want to ignore the likes of the OP.... Why do I focus on these idiots instead listening to my head and heart.. MP is just one of the best things to happen to this club in years. We've lost two game that we were expecting to win. The last few years have given us an opportunity to go into a lot of games actually expecting to win. That hasn't happened a lot of time in my 50 years of watching Saints. Maybe I'm easily pleased but at the moment, I'm actually enjoying the moment. Yes, we could/should have won these games, but overall I'm not complaining.....

I am still able to log in without a problem, hopefully it will still be ok for Saturday. My local bar was showing the PSG Champions League game the other night. Full HD without that annoying message telling you the channel is only licensed for Middle east countries. Fingers crossed...

You beat me to it.... The emphasis will be on younger players though, so we won't see the old guys coming to an end of their players days huffing and puffing their way around...

My initial thoughts are that it would provide our youngsters (of whom we have plenty) with a real competitive league, playing against other PL sides. At the moment we seem to have a rather ad-hoc system nationally and the new B League would raise the status of players who are not quite ready for regular first team action. I remember the old 'Combination League' of reserve players, which gave game time to players who didn't fill the one substitute place on the bench. Times change and hopefully this new league will be an important part of the pyramid form non-league to the England national squad.

Remember it well. Drove up with three mates, couldn't really believe it was all happening. One of the few times I've gone onto the pitch at an away game. Shook Lawrie's hand and promised to have his babies...

Don't think he'd had an altercation with Jos. I saw him walking into West Quay yesterday, no black eye and he wasn't limping. Hope that helps with the investigation.....

Born in Southampton and lived close by for most of my life. Had a few years in Vietnam and now living in the south of France. Watch all games on streaming but managed to get to the last few home games...

Cheers Eric.. Thought as much. I also remember that after going top against Middlesborough we never really played as well as we had done up to that point. T'was a bloody good feeling though....

Think we might be able to manage on our own, but support from any angle helps... https://scontent-a-cdg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1461745_10201925658316246_1050136405_n.jpg

I don't remember it being a "brief stay at the top" as reported.. Weren't we top for longer than Liverpool during that season?

Nothing we didn't already know, but it's nice to to be reminded... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25045079

Les Reed..?

I had a brief chat with him at Palafrugell on the pre season tour. He was quite fluent and chatted happily about the tour. Adam Blackmore has also stated on air that MoPo can speak English quite well. When he feels confident about talking to journo's who quite often ask questions that are 'dressed up' (even for experienced English speaking managers) then he will handle the interviews himself. As to the original question in the OP, I would take a guess at 5pm on April 5th, just after our win at the Etihad pips City for the last Champions League spot...

Reading back a few pages, just noticed that people are having problems with Overplay. Working fine here..

Overall I'm very happy with the AJS service. Sometimes it gives me the geoblocked runaround and rebooting often works. I had real problems a few weeks back so I started a 'live chat' with them to try and resolve the problem. My bad... They started asking where I was living, am I using a VPN and so on. I pleaded ignorance and just watched a stream instead. I only signed up for three months but think I'll extend it now I know what to expect.
