  1. My assessment is that our last two appointments have had to manage with a massive downgrade to the quality of our squad. My assessment is that our last two appointments appeared to be the best of those who wanted to come and manage at SFC at a salary the club can afford
  2. I think we should add Stoke to those three and they changed their manager too
  3. Please stop whingeing and get behind the team
  4. No wins for Bournemouth and Swansea Let WBA Stoke Huddersfield Newcastle Brighton fight out relegation
  5. End of the Six Nations that Day could have some affect on TV Scheduling
  6. The April 1963 Replay at White Hart Lane was the best Saints game I have ever seen 30000 or so Saints Fans supporting the team which played so we won 5 0. Ken Wimshurst was out standing that night
  7. 22 November 1971: The longest-ever FA Cup tie finally finishes Graham Allner played every minute of the six matches it took for Alvechurch to beat Oxford City
  8. Why don't you believe they are waiting for the replays what makes you think like that. I would have thought more people care about the outcome of the Swansea Sheffield match than those interested in which day we go to Wigan
  9. Why? There is still a replay to come
  10. Yes he signed a three year contract
  11. I have often thought the same but I don't have a any idea it would be interested if Posters like SKD above and Batman could explain their whinging whining attitude because the best players and coaches don't see playing for Saints as a fantastic idea. Most new players seem to be rubbish after a couple of games despite being internationals . So I don't understand why they bother to be involved with SFC if they think most players coaches and management are ****. I realise the squad is not full of top class players and the manager is unproven but hope in every game we play we win but that cannot happen and sometimes we get into a run of really bad results but eventually things will get better and things will improve like they have done before

    If we had some decent strikers we would score more goals and win more games. Recruiting decent strikers for clubs our size are very difficult

    This does not make sense as Hojbjerg, Redmond, McCarthy, Lemina, Hoedt, Carillo; did play on Saturday and Boufal was injured All of these seem to be first team regulars to me except for Redmond so what is your point. SFC is replacing players who have left with players from top class European Clubs such as Munich Monaco Juventus and Lazio most of whom are Internationals
  14. No it was not We are away to Man City probably one of the best PL team ever We are dross in comparison
  15. Well not what I was hoping for Man City Away
  16. Great result in the QF of FA Cup has not happened that often in the last 30 years I remember 2003 but cannot remember many more I do remember 1963 when we beat Sheff Utd 1-0 perhaps we could beat Sheff Wed this time
  17. That's complete nonsense the current strikers are equivalent of Norman Dean .Brett Ormerod Keith Cassells and Kerry Dixon who hardly ever scored I suppose you never saw Derek Reeves George O'Brien Terry Paine Phil Boyer Ted McDougal Ron Davies Martin Chivers Steve Moran Kevin Keegan MLT Rickie Lambert Pelle Alan Shearer and Mane they were top class players who scored literally hundreds of goals for Saints there is no one of their calibre at SFC now . Although Derek Reeves probably missed more clear cut chances than he scored Of course there we many top class midfielders the Wallace Brothers David Armstrong Stevie Williams who scored regularly as well. We have had some really top class attacking players at SFC who played consistently well which we don't have now
  18. You maybe right but Poch is one of the really top managers in the world and it would be unlikely to attract someone of his calibre again. Having followed SFC for over sixty years there is not one of the our current players in my opinion would get into an eighteen team squad containing all the Saints players I have seen. It is the players which count the most I think but of course a decent manager does help but scoring goals helps too - how many goals have the strikers and attacking midfielders scored in the PL this year
  19. If Kane and Toby played for us and Long and Hoedt played for Spurs probably there would not be much difference between our League Positions. It is because we have not outstanding players that we are in the position we find ourselves
  20. Sorry should have said we could be in the relegation zone this afternoon
  21. But we could be in the relegation drop zone this evening
  22. You have no idea what happened have you. I have no idea either but know we bid £25m which appears to me we wanted him but not at £30m

    Very true a good Championship player who helped us to the PL
  24. It is pretty worrying if people like you reject evidence http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11229172/southampton-have-quincy-promes-bid-rejected-by-spartak-moscow and believe what ever they think is the reality of the situation. We bid but were not successful
  25. Why would we waste time in trying to sign him if we did not want him. How do you think all the VVD money is going to get into GAO's pocket? Surely the club is audited and pays taxes on profits. I doubt he wanders in to the club shop to grab a few quid from the till to buy some Sweet and Sour Pork in a local Takeaway but of course I maybe wrong
