I totally agree but in our relegation season we surely should have beaten Middlesboro Everton Aston Villa with a more astute manager

I know this is not the correct thread to discuss this topic but I thought the problem was there were no suitable candidates who were out of work but it was sometime ago. I did not want Hoddle back but it was probably the right shout at the time.

47% think he was although I dont Micky Channon was the best although he did miss a penalty on Boxing Day 1973 which started our decline that season

Well I whats your point then. Mine is I would have thought that Hoddle would have done a better job than Sturrock Wigley and Redknapp

But he did very well for us at the Dell

Make it two I thought Svensson was poor against Blackpool especially in the second half. Surely he must have been injured he must have played better against Cardiff and Birmingham

Surely he could have done better than Sturrock Wigley and Redknapp and organised our defence.

Yes I had someone like that on another site never mind. Do you feel any better about the CB situation . I agree not the best of situations but mangeable. But we can only hope for the best but I do fear the worst nothing has gone right on a regular basis at SFC for near five years.

What about Chivers Date of birth 27 April 1945 (1945-04-27) (age 63) Place of birth Southampton, England A true Sotonian like me

I dont understand what you are complaining about now please can you explain

I am not sure about Burley his team always try to play good football. The only problem I had with him was that he brought in a lot of highly paid players who did not perform as well as their price indicated.

I think he is just injury prone

Another three wickets today for Tahir I think we should give a contract for the whole season for the whole season in the Championship With Tremlett unlikely to play for England next season I do not see the need for an overseas fast bowler although Bond did well when he was not injured

Dont you mean Judas

Yes I saw that game too it was one of Keegan's first games was it not we won easily at home and got slaughtered at Vicarage Road

Unfortunately a loss of some kind

Raccine is injured but JP said he was not ready

What about Kyle Davies?

Of course you are right about Lallana - Last Years side was the worst in living memory . After Schneiderlin's performance last week no. Branfoot's team had some good players but played a crap system and it was in the First Division. We are now in the Second Division and no player appears to be really good at the moment but of course this will hopefully change in the next few years

Tony Godfrey could not catch he was for ever punching the ball from what I remember. Yes I agree with your other comment but not on a regular basis

Yes I remember him saying that when Cork Arrived. He said we needed cover at CB Because Lancashire was not match fit but we also had Wooton and Schneiderlin for emergencies. However if Alpine is really saying we have a poor squad in comparison to years gone by I totally agree but there is nothing we can do about at the present time.

Yes so what I would say 45 years . I do not see any of our players which we currently have except for Davis getting in to any of the teams I have watched since 1962 on a regular basis Davis is better than Tony Godfrey I would have thought. However some of the youngsters could develop into fine footballers We are where we are you cannot do anything about it

Yes I saw that too As a matter of interest does Davis's contract end in the summer if so Bart or Tommy will probably replace him

I dont think you are really right . Some people just see the worse scenario at every possible occassion.

Knee jerk very funny
