Well said Duncan never could understand all the sniping about him whenever he was asked his opinion e all have our opinions but at the end of the day we all want success for SFC

It is not Six foot two eyes of Blue Jimmy Steele but apparently a fan who had a nickname of Jimmy Steele

And buying **** like Osvaldo and Ramirez

You are probably right but if they received funding like Man City they might as Leeds is a huge city the third biggest in the UK so they would have a large number of potential fans

Most people do not have agendas but views based on their understanding of things that went on at SFC during Cortese's time. Although as you say we achieved success on the football field which was hardly surprising as SFC have been a top rate club for 40 years with a quality infrastructure stadium and loyal fanbase situated in one of the largest city's in the country. I am not saying Cortese did not do a good job in getting us back to the PL but it was relatively easy because of our new financial clout and our recent history however how he achieved this feat was carried out in a way which I thought was very shoddy as well as paying himself loads of dosh especially as many SFC employees were badly paid and some badly treated too. The way he treated employees local businesses old players and the press should not have been tolerated and eventually was not. I am very glad he has gone as I feel the club is again part of the community well run with more effort being put into commercial activities which are very important if we are to consolidate as a top 8 PL club. PS He was also divisive as we would not be posting these comments if he was not

If we win all 6 I fancy us for a CL spot

Somes up Lallana for me but Poch is doing really well at Spurs much better than I thought he would do All three Sunday results were pretty good for SFC I would have thought

I am just glad he is not at SFC now

I really pleased we are no longer in Europe as we are doing so well in the League and in the League Cup too I know it is great that we qualified for the Europa Cup and to finish 7th or higher this season would be a fantastic achievement but getting back into the Europa League does not fill me with glee what do others think

Yes I think he should be dropped for the Sunderland game like Mane was for the Villa one

I will be very disappointed if we dont win as we are a much better team

We have played 16 games in all competitions this season and only lost three

Must be the most moronic thread I have seen for sometime

When I first started supporting Saints were in Div 2 with us since their record is pretty good League Champions First Division: 1963–64, 1965–66, 1972–73, 1975–76, 1976–77, 1978–79, 1979–80, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1985–86, 1987–88, 1989–90 Cups FA Cup: 7 1964–65, 1973–74, 1985–86, 1988–89, 1991–92, 2000–01, 2005–06 League Cup: 8 1980–81, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1994–95, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2011–12 FA Charity / Community Shield: 15 1964*, 1965*, 1966, 1974*, 1976, 1977*, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1986*, 1988, 1989, 1990*, 2001, 2006 (* shared) Super Cup: 1 1985–86 European European Cup / UEFA Champions League: 5 1976–77, 1977–78, 1980–81, 1983–84, 2004–05 UEFA Cup: 3 1972–73, 1975–76, 2000–01 European Super Cup / UEFA Super Cup: 3 1977, 2001, 2005 Worldwide FIFA Club World Cup Runners-up (1): 2005 They are a great club with a fine history dont understand why people here get upset with them

But never Tommy Forecast or Antony Pulis if I remember correctly

There do seem to be a few hypocrites on this forum there were loads suggesting bias towards Chelsea from the Ref

Breaking news from BBC - Mourinho charged Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been charged for misconduct in relation to media comments he made following Chelsea’s game against Southampton on Saturday.

I am not sure success on the field on the field is as important as financial success so I think they will cash in For success a club needs a huge fanbase and that fanbase spending money to pay massive wages SFC just dont have it so will never able to perform at the really top levellevel

Yes I think you are right lets hope Liverpool slip up because of the Europa League really glad we are not in it

I have been following the Saints about the same time as you in fact Derek Reeves, Terry Paine and John Sydenham all played in the first game I saw I dont really follow any other team but look out for Reading which is only a few miles from where I live and Brentford where I used to work. I also look out for the results of friends teams Bolton Ipswich Fulham QPR Man City and Man U

Perhaps Bopara

With Topley Edwards and McLaren just think we need a really good batter Avg 40+ to bat 3 or perhaps an opener with Carbs at 3

I can Notts 178 for 8

You must be joking what a ridiculous comment
