Arlott born and bred in Hampshire was originally a Policeman in Basingstoke I think Used to live in Alresford before moving to the Channel Isles

Ted Bates was my favorite manager by a long way.

So Lowe may have been right?

I agree

We have only had one striker this season and he is learning his trade. The others Pekhart and Robertson have not been good.

What bribe the ref to give a lucky penalty?

You could say it was unlucky to miss two penalties

Saints were lucky to get lower division teams in the Cup Semi Finals when we progressed to the final . In the 80s i think we failed twice against top division teams in the Semi Finals

We may if they can get a two or three year contract on the wages they are currently getting. Viafara was released from his contract

Yes I saw Saga last summer he looked quite good But where did this Revolutionary New Experiment term come from. I thought owing to lack of money we had to play with a lot of youngsters who hopefully would develop into good players in the future. I thought it was a commonsense approach getting in old pros on high wages had failed and caused us serious financial harm Of course the person who writes the Saints Web Pages may have as usual put a different spin on it

Yes I agree defenders will be marking SAGA and perhaps McGoldrick will get less attention

Of course luck plays a part in all aspects of life and we are not having much at the moment.

Probably right although hindsight is a wonderful gift in these situations But getting the right CB is important and there seems to be more available in the window than at other times

Yes it would appear so but in general our luck has not been good this season

Yes Sorry I always think a tinker is a change for no real valid reason Of course JP may have had the odd tinker but most of his changes are because of injuries and suspensions as you said. Apart from the right wing where like me JP appears to have no idea who should be there. I would like a winger but we dont seem to have one

So he made a change not a tinker I thought it was difficult to tinker with a losing team anyway

I disagree we need a forward who can score goals whether experienced or not Goal Scoring Forwards cost loads of money where do we get one from? If they are scoring goals their clubs will not release them. Surely if Rudi or Rasiak was sold we would have kept Stern John

I thought most people thought Surman was not a full back

I totally agree we do not seem to have had much this season

Yes but injuries and suspensions have not helped. Also if the team had been winning there would be no need to change it either. Should Lallana play on Saturday ? Does BWP justify a place I agree with Andy above

I think he will stay if we go down too

I thought Perry was ill with a virus which took along time to shake off.

I think the blend was similar at the start of the season Svensson was playing Saijis was not Gillett was playing Molyneux was not Lallana was playing Saga was not. but I maybe wrong but injuries to Svennson and Holmes and others together with the requirement to save money has contributed to the problem especially with the strikers

I agree with what do are saying especially regarding flexibility although I do not understand how you know what both JP and Lowe are thinking because they may agree with you
