So do I but I wish he would be a little more adventurous and not keep tinkering with the team

But Connolly and Murty are constantly injured which has probably cost us dear this year in the League. Not Sure Fonte and Jaidi complement each other but as it was the first time they played together we will have to wait and see.

Sorry dont agree he does not have the skills to be a very good RB. He also gets booked too often because he cant control his temper. He should play football and let the Ref control the match Hero to you Pratt to me and others in the Chapel last night. He could easily have been sent off last night making our defence weak for Saturday's game

We thought he was very good lots of pace and commitment.

Thomas is not that good as a RB his ball control and distribution is poor he did virtually nothing in attack compared with Harding. But as a defender he is OK

Papa I thought was quite good running and putting pressure on the defence. Not sure about Antonio though but his long throws were boring and a waste of time after the 20th one why not do something different

We all thought he would be sent off and would not have played on saturday. There is a difference between passion and stupidity and Thomas was looking for a fight continually arguing with the ref

We were not very good and MK Dons were a lot worse

We were OK for half an hour or so up to the second goal I thought but after that pretty dire

Very good result but poor game. Somebody behind me said we were **** after an hour I disagreed with him but at the end agreed with him. Thomas was a disgrace arguing all the time lucky not to get a second yellow

Like Charlie George Stan Bowles etc

Yes that is what I have always thought but Cortese's statement reinforces it

I thought he was just sorting out the best way to play as the Club were consolidating for promotion next season but that appears not to be the case So you are right to question what Pardew is trying to achieve.

Makes me think ML/NC are in it for financial gain and not just a hobby as many have suggested

Yes I could have said that but I am not the chairman and it puts pressure on AP who surely must be given time

I think it is only since Christmas our form has dipped but that happens to all teams but I was hoping for some better pergformances. I shall be at St Mary's tomorrow so I hope to see a good game

That is exactly how I see it too. If we were a top team we would be beating lower teams easily we only beat Luton 1 0 from apparently a lucky free kick. It was so boring that I left my seat missed the foul but saw the free kick

I dont think anybody can disagree with that statement . But what it means to Pardew's future is open to discussion . We just need to get good results against the top teams in the next few weeks but away to Norwich next game is not the best game for fortunes to change

Yes I think it is as you are not a full member

I think you have summed up my feelings too. Except with regard to the Echo where I dont think the press should be forced to agree to whatever a third party wants if it is not in its best interests. I still dont know why they are banned and why it cannot be sorted out or how important the situation really is

I think it is totally niave to believe that everything that comes out of an organisation like the Echo or SFC does not contain some PR and Spin. I agree that like you I do not know why the Echo was banned but would like to. I dont think banning any paper by SFC is good idea in anyway. I just have an open mind thats all I must admit I did not know that being a Saints supporter was like being in a political party where you had to be on message all the time. I have said many times that the ML takeover was the best thing to have happened to SFC for sometime but getting back to the Premiership is going to be hard work and possibly take some time because other clubs are trying to do the same thing as well. But we are doing OK on the field for a change and hope with the new players that we start playing well and start beating teams who are our promotion rivals

I just want to know the facts so if the Echo want to tell me more that is OK However we dont really know much do we except the information the Echo printed was known the day before,

So what if the Echo is putting information on here do you want them banned from the forum too.

But how big a mess is it really I wonder not living in southampton I dont really know its affect

Well I thought it was a good point you were making and now for the first time I can see why the Echo could have been banned
