I think he needs to be told he's playing QPR every week..he definately had a chip on his shoulder and was proving a point to there fans. More of the same please...then talk about an extension.

Agreed, i do not understand the fascination !!

Looks like the mail have caught wind of somthing ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2228682/Nigel-Adkins-Southampton-talks-future.html

Was talking to the chap in the saints shop when buying another shirt and he said we are in the last year of our contract with umbro and they will not be renewing. Nike brought the umbro rights a year or so ago but continued with them. Umbro are now making Nike a loss and rumour is Mike Ashley (Sports Direct) will buy it and continue to sell the umbro and donnay brands. Makes sense really as England will finish with Umbro soon and switch to Nike, Personally, i fancy a bit of Adidas. But there you go...

And ?

Got to admit, after watching the first game from the weekend and the first half from last nights game, im a touch worried about the lack of pace from our centre backs, especially with the likes of Aguero/Tevez ect.. Anyway, we are not expected to get anything from the game are we !! (Saints are 14-1 to beat City, worth a few quid in my eyes)

Agreed but not taking the premiership for granted, as i think when we were there last we were part of the furniture. Good wake up call (7 years) and thoroughly enjoyed my time watching the lads in the lower leagues, Wev'e got more than enough in our locker to stay with the big boys.

"They love me here" Easy Tiger !!! Good read tho...

Had to chuckle at Jack Corks tweet earlier thanking the lads who nicked his boot during the pitch invasion. They keep sending him pictures of the lads drinking out of it ! Quality..

Not at all mate, Player cant view flash video, need to buy iswifter app and all will be fine !!

Who cares ? Enjoy promotion

Good shout about Richardson, we really need an overlap as thats not Gulys game. Keep Calm And Finish The Job !

So, now Chappers is out, who is going to fill the right midfield slot ? Guly, Punch or Steve De Ridder ? I'd like to see punch given a start, but can't see it and the boss will play safe with Guly and SDR coming off the bench. Thoughts ?

Third best in the league for stats (i think) so not bad for a club as south as we are.. dirty Leeds and West Ham in front.

http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showthread.php/277307-Championship-Away-Following-2011-12 Interesting read, We have an average of 2,364 fans per away game, and this didnt include the Hull and Skate games. Well done Saints Fans !! Oh and by the way that's over a thousand more than the skates..

Interesting listening to Billy's interviw on saints player where he does say he wasnt as fit as the other lads when he joined at that was the reason he was left out of the proceeding games, very honest and hard working bloke tho. Looking forward to a "saints fit" Billy Sharp after a good pre-season behind him. Also, interesting to hear him say about the game against the boro, he said he's looking forward to it but not happy with it being on the tele as they havnt done to well recently !!, it does get to all of us then..very confident saturdays our day tho. coyr's

The Echo claim it will be a weeks trial. Hold on to your hat Mr Barnard it's gonna be a long week !

Christ, i'd like to see your'e missus then mate !!

I think Morgan provides something different to Deano and Jack Cork in the middle, When he got injured by the skates some of our creativity went out the window, Deano and Jack Cork (especially) are very good ball winners and passers of the ball. The palace game was a physical battle in the middle of the park which suited them both, thats why we all said they had a good game, Against Reading at times we looked one dimensional and needed something different, thats what Morgan gives a touch of class maybe or he see's a pass that the other 2 doesnt. But hey what do i know, we still should have beaten the skates three times over and scored at least 3 times againts Reading. Still, lots to be positive about....It's a funny old game....!!

For me it's got to be Watford, absolutely boring as hell atmosphere this season, i didnt here one song all game. it's a nothing club IMO.

Got mine this morning on Internet, it said you can only purchase if you bought the other previous 2 games. Pressed ok even tho I didn't and it still let me buy them so hopefully they will come thru !

Lallana made a great tackle for lambert to dispatch his second, but agree its good to see others pulling there weight today. Well done lads and and done saints fans, we were great today.

Totally agree about Guly. It's a tough life being a pro footballer, earning lots of money isn't it ? Crosby got hold of and gave him a cuddle, ah bless...get a life, take your criticism and make a difference when you come on, rant over !

Ditto, I'd like a little word with them as well

Cant remember what year but during early 90's we sang k Sara Sara put the champagne on ice were' going to wembley twice k sara Sara. pretty bad I know ! That was under the east stand by the tap !
