  1. I doubt that we will catch Brighton and unlikely to finish second if we lose to Charlton Peterborough and Bournemouth. The team does not seem to win the pressure games which I think the next game at Exeter is so we are probably in for an interesting three months
  2. I think it is just down to the money PL League clubs are being sensible offering money up front plus addons as nobody knows how OXO will develop
  3. Yes it is a free newspaper Cannot see Arsenal paying £10m up front not sure he is worth that Dont really want Arsenal to be ****ed off with the club as they have so much talent we could loan in the future
  4. Yes I think he will be away not a bad thing if his transfer fee is spent well unlike when we sold Alan Shearer
  5. Could not give a **** We just need to win and score goals away from home
  6. At least two other Squads will be promoted in May who in theory are not as good as ours is at the moment and they wont be buying. So I wonder why that is
  7. Well if he could get the team to beat Tranmere people would be happy but a wretched performance and a bad result following the Notts County game show that he might not be that good
  8. I expect the Daily Mail contacted Lawrie regarding the game against Man U because lets face it in our 125 year history the win in 1976 at Wembley was probably our finest hour. Although Lawrie had further achievements in the subsequent years which will unlikely to be bettered for years to come if he does not feel welcome at the club I don’t think that is a good thing. It is a shame that past present and future cannot be celebrated at our club like it is done so well at many others but that I feel that is down to Cortese. It would have been nice to get the surviving members of the 1976 team to the Man U game which would have got good publicity and perhaps a good feeling within the club and its fanbase Cortese runs the club answers apparently to no one and can do what he wants whether that is good for the club we will see in the next few weeks - I was fairly confident of success this season but I am not so sure with so many away games to come
  9. Yes I see two points behind Bournemouth with a game in hand
  10. I agree with your sentiments but Cortese did not save the club he only bought it I am sure another consortium would have bought it if he did not But pleased that he did
  11. Yes I agree with what you are saying but I dont really see why MLT should be given/sold ten tickets for his mates
  12. Yes I agree with you
  13. Yes I agree with what you are saying Alpine is obviously an astute person who does not attend many games but by listening to commentaries and other fans comments as well as watching Live and on TV has a realistic understanding of how the team is performing which unfortunately is not accepted by other posters. I don’t go to that many games but I think I know pretty well what is going on too. However Alpine appears to worry a great deal and strongly wants the club to succeed and possibly posts to many aggressive replies but the forum is not the same when he is not posting. He reminds me of a fanatical Man U friend of mine who took me to the FA CUP Final Replay against Brighton nearly thirty years ago he was so up tight through out the whole game worrying that something highly unlikely would go wrong to stop Man U winning the cup. I think they were 4 0 up after an hour but he was not calm I asked him why to which he replied the floodlights might fail. Of course he may have been worried that we had both been to Cup Final before in 1976 at opposite ends of the Stadium when he obviously expected an easy Man U win - I have never seen a sicker parrot than him when finally met up after the game he still thinks Bobby Stokes was offside I agreed once but that made him worse
  14. Of course teams in possibly should enhance their squads if the management have the finances and have identified potential signings who maybe willing to join us although I am not sure that Man U will be doing so as Fergie may think his squad is good enough. SFC are in a different situation because we need to recruit high quality Championship if we are to progress next season which cost higher wages and may not at the moment be willing to join a League 1 side where promotion is highly likely but not guaranteed. So as we don’t know all the facts I think we should leave it to the Club's management as they seem to be doing a good job at the moment. Having a large squad brings its own problems but it is obviously it is better than having a small one. There will no doubt be injuries suspensions and loss of form but we have a large pool of talented footballers and we need to give our youngsters a chance to play in the first team If I was a young footballer looking for an academy I would want to go to a club where I have a chance of playing as opposed to the First Team being full of bought in players
  15. Well he does have a point as you are attempting to defend the indefensible Players are not deadwood if they lose form we are lucky in having both Dickson and Harding. If we had had another striker to replace Lambert when he was out of form I suppose he would have been deadwood too
  16. I would agree with you in normal circumstances But if the Tax Payer had not helped to bailout the banks they would not be able to earn large bonuses So for a year or two I think the bonuses should be taxed highly for large amounts

    Ed Milliband

    I will tell Ed of your concerns when I meet him at Reading tonight With regard to Cameron he may speak quite well but he has got the country in a hell of a mess in only nine months Doubt whether his Government will be a success with the buffoons he has in his Cabinet
  18. Adkins has got as much chance of becoming Liverpool Manager as you have of becoming the Pope
  19. I have been on his site and it comments seem quite reasonable on the subject But perhaps I have missed him saying that Cortese is profititeering which I dont think he is hhis approach is quite reasonable but will affect people who do not buy their own tickets
  20. Not much chance of us winning English FA Cup Southampton 0-3 Manchester United 04-01-2009 English FA Cup Southampton 0-4 Manchester United 12-03-2005 English FA Cup Manchester United 2-0 Southampton 11-03-1996 English FA Cup Manchester United 2-2 Southampton 05-02-1992 English FA Cup Southampton 0-0 Manchester United 27-01-1992 English FA Cup Manchester United 2-1 Southampton 08-03-1977 English FA Cup Southampton 2-2 Manchester United 26-02-1977 English FA Cup Southampton 1-0 Manchester United 01-05-1976 English FA Cup Manchester United 4-1 Southampton 19-01-1972 English FA Cup Southampton 1-1 Manchester United 15-01-1972 English FA Cup Southampton 2-3 Manchester United 04-01-1964 English FA Cup Manchester United 1-0 Southampton 27-04-1963 English FA Cup Manchester United 3-1 Southampton 17-02-1897 English FA Cup Southampton 1-1 Manchester United 13-02-1897
  21. Yes it was in 1986 I was in the West Stand MLT scored at the Milton Road end
  22. Well Blackpool Beaten now Man U As a teenager I remember Denis Law in 1963 and George Best in 1964 lets hope the youngsters of today will have great memories of Rooney and Ferdinand nearly fifty years later
