John B

They have offered Cork a Contract so why do you think they are selling him? I would expect that they have someone lined up

But Chelsea are winning 1 0

Ah John Sydenham I used to fill up his A40 Car when I worked in a Petrol Station in West End Road not far from the then Bitterne Brewery about 4/6 a Gallon. How times have changed wonder what sort of Car he would have today

]Went to St Marys College too Was one of many who did not have a trial for Southampton Boys with Ted Bates. Supported them for over 50 years

Well I do JWP is becoming a very good player. Not sure Crystal Palace will be up for the Cup may want to concentrate on PL

They have a really easy set of home fixtures for the remainder of the season except for the final one. But do not see them meeting Middlesborough though

I would have agreed with you at the end of last season as I think he was one of our best ever signings but if we get to the CL I may change my mind to Fonte

What a fantastic few weeks after our little stutter

Although CL is important I would have thought that loads of money is more important

Too much class for Ipswich who never threatened

Perhaps he had a dodgy hamstring which was going to be a problem anyway but it is unlucky I thought Harrison played well but losing Victor Toby and Morgan is not going to hrlp us to the CL

And of course we have two players away on International Duty so it is a lot different from last season

We won 1 0 who cares We also won 1 0 in 1976 I cared best day of my life

Let him go we are doing well without him

Me too may make 5th

I think we should invest in a striker we are very lucky to have 4 CBs there is a general shortage of them so I think we will not get one perhaps a loan may happen

Very True we obviously have some A players but on average I would have thought B+ Great result today but I am still not really confident we will be in the top 4 at the end of the season but time will tell I still think 5th or 6th

Nice Comment from Robbie Savage "I don't want to hear how bad Manchester United were, Southampton were great They were tactically immense and defensively solid. A well-deserved three points. What a fantastic performance and Southampton were disciplined throughout." Must be one of our best away wins in the PL ever

Hope Spurs lose tonight them and Liverpool seem to be getting some good results recently especially Liverpool who dont have any ex Saints starting

Of course they are B+ players we could never afford A+ ones We will probably finish in a B+ position better than last season

Dont remember Burnside getting much stick he was always a favorite of mine as he scored the final goal in the great FA Cup fight back against Forest in 1963 Melia did because he did not look like a Footballer but he helped us get promotion in 1966 and played every game the following season and I think was a good buy. Lew Chatterley was rubbish did not realise he was Lawrie Mac's brother in law. These days people are too critical after a couple of poor games players are castigated even though they must be pretty good to be chosen to player in a PL team in the first place

I agree MLT was a fine player probably the most skillful player ever he did keep us in the PL but the years he played were not that successful for the club. Paine and Lambert got us two promotions played in World Cups played in European Competitions so that is why I think overall they have contributed more to the club in a positive way. We are now an established PL and were when MLT joined but 50 years ago we were far from that until Bates Paine Chivers Sydenham Knapp et al got us into Div 1

Terry Paine from Winchester and Rickie Lambert from Bristol Rovers were in my opinion the best two signings the Saints ever bought in both England Internationals one a World Cup Winner the other a player in the last World Cup were largely responsible for our rises from the third tier to the top tear. They will always be club legends lets leave it at that

I dont really understand why people are particularly worried about Jack Cork he is a decent player but not outstanding If the Club think that the youngsters are better than him I support them if they want to buy a better player than him I support them too. Of course if they re-sign him I accept that too but I doubt he will be first choice . The club does know what it is doing so lets see what happens

As we are in fourth position I think we should spend big on a Striker to increase our chances of European Football I will be interested in what the Club does like Koemann says our GK Defence and Midfield are excellent but we do miss a lot of goal chances
