Yes I agree with You I think we are getting too optimistic I dont expect us to be in the top half of the table for a couple of years yet

It is nothing new though is it

Well I would be surprised if we were in the top ten Probably in the bottom ten

Cardiff 2 Southampton 1

Yes Very True we need to cut the wage bill in order to survive

Should it not be jcbs as its really diggers

Yes I agree a takeover without mega millions being involved would be of no real benefit

I have read most of the posts to this thread but do not understand what is going on. Is there any real evidence there is an imminent takeover and how did this thread start

It was all Matthew Le Tissier's Fault if he had not in my opinion kept us up for many seasons at the Dell we would have already been relegated and would not be having this sensless debate. However the main reasons to relegationwere injuries to key players are the start of the relegation season and the inability to appointment a suitable manager after Strachan's departure I and many others did not want Hoddle but in hindsight his appointment may well have kept us in the Premiership as realistically there were not any outstanding canidates that is why Wigley was eventually appointed. The main reason for us not being promoted were that other teams were better than us Derby deserved promotion they won more games than us. We never had a settled team so how could we really compete I feel Jan P understands this and we will do better this season

Yes I was thinking the same and No Davies or Svennson

Sorry No I didnt There has been so much negative stuff being posted I assummed you were doing the same I apologise for my stupidity

Are you happier now it is 1 1 at half time I once saw Wolves score an own goal by Saints Skipper Tony Knapp within the First Minute 2 2 after ten minutes 9 to Saints 3 to Wolves at the end so anything can happen

Rupert Lowe Cant

I thnk Saints are playing like a team this year and I quite like I hear from Jan P although I have yet to master the spelling of his name

My Wife Thinks I am mad jumping up and down Whats the score how are we playing Its 1 1 McGoldrick According to many posters McGoldrick is crap but he does score a lot of goals

I was Not expecting to win tonight even before we went behind

Exactly if he played for a top club I think he would be an international like dare I say it Beattie

Kitson is not a good player he is a very good player

why?

DAVIS in GOAL apparently

I think we should have had a poll to agree what should be in the Poll because there is no mention of play offs or relegation places

OK what about Play Offs

Doesn't seem to be a very good argument to me. The youngsters were not good enough for the Premiership and Lowe only worked with Burley for a few months

I agree with you but with the Forum Down I was logging on to the Echo Site and there was a great deal of comment about not going to St Mary's whilst Lowe is there. But any negativity surely will eventually affect the players and I thought Wilde's Interview came across quite well.
