Saint Fan CaM

Can I be the first on this thread to suggest a 2nd statue outside SMS of Markus is an absolute must. Or at least something named after the great man like a stand or something? This summer is the time for the club to really do something permanent at SMS to celebrate what Markus did for us all - he didn't spend many years with the club like Ted did - he never got that opportunity bless him - but he did invest his time and money to make the lives of all Saints supporters (and the City of Southampton in general) so much richer. March on Saints for Markus!

Brilliant!

Solent just said NC is on the field with the players at Home Park celebrating - now that's great to hear...he'd rather be with Nigel and the boys than being in the boardroom. Mind you, I bet the sandwiches are not much to speak about with their budget! (;

Well done Nigel Adkins. It will be interesting to see how you cope in the NPC - I truly hope you are able to stay right the way through the journey and seal a place in Saints hall of legends. We'll be right behind you - I hope NC and the family are too.

Yep - I was confused about the decision to fire Pardew and unsure about Adkins appointment, but always sure of Nicola's right to make those decisions because he saved us by bringing the club to Markus' attention and then agreeing to sort the mess out that Lowe left. Everything is coming together nicely at all levels of the club - I just hope that Nicola recognises the contribution the long standing ST holders have made - I really don't want to be shafted with stupid pricing just because we're climbing back up the leagues.

Connolly hits the woodwork from 40 yards out!

Morgan back onto the field of play. Great news all round. Lallana has run his socks off today - fantastic player.

Anyone else feel like this is a bit of a surreal moment? Saints not scrapping for relegation - not scrapping to get into the play-offs - not holding on for dear-life. It's just not Saints! We are renewed...this really feels like the re-birth of our great football club!

Come you Saints .... 0-2 up and coasting into the Championship! Pity the service on this forum is so damn poor. Can't even get the 2nd half thread open in time/atall!

What the hell is the matter with this forum? Rubbish.

I hope the old bill is out in force around the pitch to stop the mongs from going on the pitch at the end. Really don't want to see Saints name dragged through the mud and don't want to see Plymouth fans faces rubbed in it...they might not have a club left to support.

45 minutes away from the Championship...this is it!

Come on Kelvin...don't let us down here....

****ing yeeeeessss!!!!!b get in you beauty!!!!!

Sounds like we're sticking to the game plan....wear them down and they'll tire.

Corner Saints - here we go.

Amazingly the server is pants and yet only 24 odd posts?!?!?

COY ******* Saints!!!

Sing whatever - just don't act like complete mongs and invade the pitch. Total disrespect for the Plymouth lot.

Quite hyped in anticipation, but strangely not nervous really. I actually think Nigel has changed the mindset of the team to one that doesn't cave in under pressure - look at the number of times recently that we've come back into the game. Plymouth are reportedly not getting it together at the moment and their need to open the game up will play right into our hands. A draw will still be pretty OK as it will put huge pressure on Hudders to win on Saturday. It's ours for the taking today though and I do hope we'll be celebrating tonight - I don't think I can stand a nervy Saturday! I bought my first season ticket as we started the slide down the leagues. I am looking forward to my committment being repayed by seeing the club starting the climb back up again. Even playing in the Championship against good quality opposition will be refreshing change. Please Saints - make it happen today! COME ON YOU SAINTS!!! WIFM!!!

Any chance of an update on how far the donations have got please Mike? Thanks - Dave

Sure, but do we care where JP ends up?

Donation made...not a fortune, but every little helps. Good luck with the whole venture - can't wait to see that flag.

this! and this!

BT + £250k for JP would be good business.
