In 1976 I saw us win the FA Cup with this team Ian Turner Peter Rodrigues David Peach Nick Holmes Mel Blyth Jim Steele Paul Gilchrist Mick Channon Peter Osgood Jim McCalliog Bobby Stokes and almost two years later at the Dell against Spurs we returned to Div 1 with this team Peter Wells Manny Andruszewski David Peach Steve Williams Chris Nicholl Malcolm Waldron Alan Ball Phil Boyer Ted MacDougall Nick Holmes Tony Funnell After winning the Cup Lawrie Mac dismantled the team got in a few proven older players and with a few home grown players got us promoted I know we are in a different age and players like Ball Boyer MacDougal are unlikely to come to St Mary's so I feel we should rebuild by getting rid of players who are not going to shine in the PL and transfer in players who may do. Of course we need some new younger players who are likely to perform well in the PL from the academy if possible. I know we have bought lots of young players recently, mostly it seemed to sell on, not to enhance our team for the length of their contract. We need a team that has the potential to stay in the PL like we did in 1978 and with Adkins team not so long ago I just do not feel that Flynn is PL player especially as his position in midfield is so key. It maybe wishful thinking of an old git but I am sure most of us do not wish to experience this seasons fiasco again.

Why not he is unlikely ever be a decent PL player if we are to progress back to the PL we need better than him

Zero?

Not a fan I see but read this Rangers on verge of appointing Russell Martin as new manager - BBC Sport

Unsupring really as outside Southampton he is thought to be a decent and articulate manager

I thought Edwards and Abbott were our overseas players

My mates non Saints supporters think Martin is a decent manager

It is results that count no matter what system or systems he uses that is apart from Puel who got us to 8th if I remember Lets hope he stays for sometime I just want us not to lose so many games

I think the standard of the PL was the highest ever just look at Man U they had a decent squad put finished in a very low position

If you agree about the first part why not tax the super rich in my case it has nothing to do with envy I

We are still losing so what is your point

I have been following the match on England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) - The Official Website of the ECB Over in three days at was made for seam bowlers and we won pretty easily although Albert and Fuller threw their wickets away in the second innings Despite the Fuller and Abbott getting the plaudits it was Middleton and Albert who helped us to victory eventually as scoring was not easy with the pitch having variable bounce with Brown and Dawson dismised with real wicket taking deliveries It was a great cricket wicket and we won pretty easily dropping catches especially in the slips did not help apparently Dawson does not want to field in the slips at the moment Back to the bowl at the weekend with probably the same team we know the team needs a couple of standout players but it is doing OK I feel

You and so many others are fucking deluded and not particularly bright to succeed in the PL we need decent players how many do we have three or four and results have not improved since Martin left

Yes you are right he got us promoted only to find the club was not able to get in a few decent players
