I don't know why you don't **** off and support another club which has more financial clout I don't believe you go to many games if any so you are not providing much revenue for the club to buy and pay better players. I am a realist and accept SFC are a pretty good second tier PL club where the players are not performing well at the moment but hope they will improve in the next few weeks. I have been supporting the team since the late 1950's and in general the team has been performing in general as well as it has in the last 60 years except for a period 40 years ago or so when we managed to have some seriously good players playing for the club. That Period commencing with the FA cup win was a bit of a blip really which could not be sustained especially with the advent of the PL where the big clubs buy the best players I quite enjoy following and watching the Saints but you don't seem to so why do you do it as you are always whining and whingeing ?

Does it really matter how bad we were last year What matters surely is that for the last few months we have not been very good how many goals have we scored in open play at home when opponents are usually happy to defend and hope for the best in attack

I agree but when were we last any good I feel we have been poor since the League Cup Final The manager usually gets the blame but the players most of whom are earning over a £million a year surely must take the responsibility we are pretty impotent when it comes to scoring goals

So VVD is on his way?

Don't get me wrong I think he is a great signing but it just seems too good to be true or maybe I have been brain washed by some of the knobs on here that Les Reed and his team are pretty crap and will never bring in any decent players. I get the impression he is pretty ambitious and wants to prove himself before moving on but that is only based on what he has said in the media in short interviews

Just cannot understand if he is the Dogs Bollix why he cant get into the Lazio team and nobody else wants him £15m seems cheap if he is as good as people say. It really would be great if he does develop into a top class CB but at the moment it seems too good to be true as it seems to be a really excellent signing So who is going to make way for him Yoshi or Stephens or will VVD be back after the International break I doubt he will be a starter against Huddersfield

I imagine Sam would like to go and play at Birmingham rather than stay and hope that Austin Long and Gabbi get injured

Since he has just signed a five year contract I think the club are happy with him. Just another whingeing thread moaning about our players

But we ****ing won so whats the problem Next week you will be whingeing about something else footballers like people are not perfect so just accept sometimes we will win sometimes we will lose. We have a decent squad so lets get behind and see how the season pans out . Per

The problem with your analysis is that if Stephens does not play he will not get any better he is not the finished article but eventually he will be as he has got potential it is not as if he is losing us games As supporters I thought we should encourage young players not continually find fault with them

I agree with you but West Ham do seem to have some really good players and the cross from Cresswell for the second goal was excellent

If he had to borrow £180m to buy the club it is highly unlikely he would then sanction extra spending for additional players and any new players as you suggest will be paid for by current revenues. Gao can only really succeed by getting in extra revenue through exploiting the Chinese market I would have thought he is not a property developer so it is unlikely he will redevelope Southampton

He can **** off as far as I am concerned

And so she should

Strange Posr

. As usual your post is bigoted and lacks any evidence as well as being stupid as how can 45 years of EU membership be the cause as the comparison is with other countries who are in the EU One of the problems with the UK appears to be that large sections of the population are not interested in education and from what I have learned from my wife loads of pupils disrupt lessons and cause many other problems. Her school has a large exclusion department and numerous pupils are suspended every month which shows me that there is not the desire for some to learn and find a decent job. I agree with your comment 'if the indigenous British working populous finally come to terms with rolling their sleeves up and doing a proper shift, in terms of either mental or physical activity again, valuing work for its own sake' but that is likely to be a lot more difficult if jobs disappear because foreign companies relocate to the Single Market countries like they will. You seem to blame everything on the EU whereas I blame UK governments for all our problems as the EU just provides the tools and facilities for our country to prosper for the good economically politically environmentally and socially and leaving it is a disaster. I am 71 but I care for youngsters and how leaving the UK is going to affect them but as I have no idea who you are I don't know what your outlook on life is the only two things I know is that you are passionately against the EU not entirely based on facts and you support the Saints and I am fully supportive the content of nearly all your posts So there are more than 20 countries who are in the EU and have better literacy, numeracy and technological skills than the UK

Nine out of the ten poorest areas within the EU are located within the UK. UK 16-24 year olds have the fourth lowest ability in the EU in terms of literacy, numeracy and technological skills. . In summary, the UK is poor and stupid and voted accordingly, well 52% of the UK did

I agree a very good player but not a great one

but each spring SFC are in the top 8 of the PL been in the Europa League twice unlucky in the Final of the League Cup. Not bad for a club of our size

I don't think the club are a laughing stock in any situation. The whole situation is down to VVD for being a greedy knob. If he wont play for SFC and wants to leave it is hardly likely he will perform well if he actually played and would disrupt the whole team. So I say as you do he should make a formal request and we should sell him for at least £50m hopefully more but I am not sure he is worth £60m plus as defenders never seem to be sold for huge amounts The fullback who joined Man City went for £52m I think

No he is a disgrace The whole situation is likely to end badly

It is nothing to do with holding their nerve it is whether it is to the advantage of SFC to keep VVD against his will or bring in somebody who is pretty decent and wants to play for the club. I don't see the point of keeping a player who wants to leave and we get loads of dosh and a top class replacement

Of course by scoring the only goal of the season against Liverpool who would then be relegated if the other team drew all their matches
