or wants to join us;)

And they cost money too Although Nillson has had a long international career he was particularly bad in The european championships before joining us.

I think your 75% record is very good so far I wonder what your record will be at the end of the season. By the way i think you have been hard on Swindon We used to do a Sweepstake at work for European and World Cup Finals forecasting the scores - Even getting the right results never mind the scores was hard enough

I doubt whether the average Skate could recognise a Pompey player either.

Just dont think he left the club in good shape and seemed to be a bit negative perhaps I should have said I think he was overated. Would Rate Hoddle better who left the team in good shape and seemed to get the best out of his players.

I think Pardew is the sort of manager we need at the moment not sure about him long term Never really rated WGS although he brought us some success Mind you we have not had that many good ones recently although Pearson may turn into one as he is doing well at Leicester at the moment

He has given us a good write up here http://www.tribalfootball.com/portsmouth-no1-james-southampton%E2%80%99s-lambert-big-lump-dangerous-648811

But Pardew is not a really top manager is he

That might be true for most clubs in League 1 but Southampton are a big club with a Billionaire owner so I would have thought Pardew is being well paid

Yes you are right but the Poster was pointing out that Norwich are getting better results with players that cost less than SFC which I think is true. He was suggesting that our team should be performing better in the League. In theory he is right but in practice I am not so sure

A win for Carlisle tonight would be good I think although Huddersfield have a lot of tough games coming up but 5:30 GOAL - Lee Novak: Carlisle 0 - 1 Huddersfield

Hope he does not play well http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wycombe_wanderers/8517930.stm

Obviously you dont have any standards in your personal life others do

Only know a couple of sensible ones

I think you watched the better half;) So I would not bother with the second

However there seem to be some ITKs who think that AP is under pressure from NC anyway

The play off season was as let down for me as I was expecting more as we only luckily scraped into them

I agree 2003 and 2010 have been the best two seasons in the last twenty for me that is apart from Pardew's first few games

So what was your prediction for Bristol Rovers v Charlton and tomorrows three matches

Of course we are going to beat some but usually there will be a few draws along the way to kick us in the goollies And with the Pressure mounting the team may not perform as we hope

I thought we had to play some of these teams 16 Southend 30 -9 32 17 Hartlepool 30 -10 32 18 Oldham 28 -10 32 19 Exeter 31 -12 31 20 Gillingham 31 -12 30 21 Brighton 30 -14 30 22 Tranmere 30 -22 30 23 Wycombe 31 -25 24 24 Stockport 29 -31 17

Some of these lower clubs will be fighting to stay in League 1 as well In 1966 when we got promoted our results were English Division 2 (old) Huddersfield 2-0 Southampton 08-01-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 3-1 Derby 29-01-1966 English Division 2 (old) Portsmouth 2-5 Southampton 05-02-1966 English Division 2 (old) Bury 1-3 Southampton 19-02-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 2-2 Norwich 26-02-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 0-1 Birmingham 05-03-1966 English Division 2 (old) Wolves 1-1 Southampton 12-03-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 1-1 Rotherham 19-03-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 3-1 Middlesbro 02-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Bristol C 0-1 Southampton 08-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 2-2 Bristol C 11-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 1-0 C Palace 16-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 3-2 Cardiff 20-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Preston 1-1 Southampton 23-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 1-0 Charlton 30-04-1966 English Division 2 (old) Plymouth 2-3 Southampton 07-05-1966 English Division 2 (old) Leyton Orient 1-1 Southampton 09-05-1966 English Division 2 (old) Man City 0-0 Southampton 18-05-1966 18 Games 9 Wins 7 Draws 2 Losses Points 34 with 3 for a win and again in 1978 English Division 2 (old) Mansfield 1-2 Southampton 14-01-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 3-1 Notts Co 21-01-1978 English Division 2 (old) Burnley 3-3 Southampton 04-02-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 2-3 Millwall 11-02-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 2-1 Sheff Utd 25-02-1978 English Division 2 (old) Sunderland 0-0 Southampton 04-03-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 2-0 C Palace 11-03-1978 English Division 2 (old) Bolton 0-0 Southampton 18-03-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 4-1 Charlton 25-03-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 3-1 Bristol R 27-03-1978 English Division 2 (old) Cardiff 1-0 Southampton 29-03-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 5-0 Blackburn 01-04-1978 English Division 2 (old) Fulham 1-1 Southampton 07-04-1978 English Division 2 (old) Hull 0-3 Southampton 11-04-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 2-2 Oldham 15-04-1978 English Division 2 (old) Luton 1-2 Southampton 22-04-1978 English Division 2 (old) Leyton Orient 1-1 Southampton 25-04-1978 English Division 2 (old) Southampton 0-0 Tottenham 29-04-1978 18 Games 9 Wins 7 Draws 2 losses So if we got the same this season we would be on 78 - 10 Which would be reasonable considering our awful start 34 Points and that was automatic promotion form

You would have thought so but the obvious does not happen all the time

Although performances have not been good recently we have not lost many in the League recently but the Main reason we may not get to the play offs is the very poor start that we had not that we are not winning away games at the moment .
