I hope the 290486 in your username isnt your birthdate ;-)

Another vote for Harding here. Fox just cannot defend, is very rarely within a country mile of the player he should be marking and so far has not looked worth £1.8m. He will need time to settle in I suppose but I agree that Harding and Lallana's understanding is very strong and benefits the team.

Cannot believe how that has all worked out....and Poopey providing the icing on the cake :-) What a fabulous chance we have in the next two games to open up a gap ! Come On You Saints, take your chances boys !

Cyril Regis, Bryan Robson, Ian Wallace, Adrian Heath (and unlike Um I am still bloody bitter about 1984), Ian Wright, Dion Dublin...the list is almost bloody endless !!! Oh and Alan Brazil.

Best post I have read on here in ages.

Somehow i just knew that would be the case. Surprised he hasnt been on South Today telling us all about it.

I do so hope this is just ironic humour......otherwise WTF ?

Not sure its so much that as wether Chaplow or Morgan have earned a starting place with their recent performances. We have got 4 top central midfield players remember and Cork is/should be a definite so its then 1 from 3.

Claridge does seem to rate us, bet that upsets the blue few down the road ! I dont know what that Bashir guy was on about saying our players are inexperienced in this League. Eight of the starters have played there or higher before and ten of the finishing line up have !

Oi Wenger, can we at least see this kid play before you come knocking ? In all honesty after the way NC ensured Arsenal paid far far more than they wanted or expected to with Alex I would imagine they will tread very carefully with us in the future. But its The Mirror so it must be true....

Matt is not being slagged off, Some can see this issue from his point of view, some can see it from NC's. Most are tired of the whole bloody thing.

Thats absolutely correct, he did not link Matts name with freebies.

My support pal does not waiver from Southampton Football Club. The club is the issue, not former players, managers, chairman, anyone.

Hang on, you told him to **** off in an earlier post. Make up your bloody mind. Thats not criticising thats telling him to, well, **** off !

Oh come on, some people on here dont want facts to get in the way of an all out assult on NC's character. If you are gonna be sensible and post factual content like that you have no place here sir :-)

Oh Good lord.......

I doubt we will !

please tell us you dont seriously believe that, or at very least share your thinking behind that. What possible reason would the man who is currently running the club and trying to steer it back into the Premiership have or be even remotely concerned with trying to turn the fans against a player who retired nearly 10 years ago ? Seriously, why ?

Well I'm a bad fan then cos i dont share your version of Utopia.

How and where is he doing that ?

What a shame a hugely positive article about the club has been turned into a ****ing contest between a club legend and the man currently steering the good ship Southampton into pleasant waters. Now perhaps those who clamour for Cortese to respond to every half baked story about the club can see why he doesnt. The article/interview has been dissected to death and the way it has been worded by the reporter puts 2 + 2 together and is making 5. Matt is NOT directly mentioned with regard to free tickets yet it has been blown up into something its not. And quite frankly quotes like that one above from dune that "Clotese" can **** off is just pathetic. He saved the club you support idiot, it probably wouldn't be here without him and Markus and you tell him to eff off ?? Fkin hell, with supporters like that we dont need the skates do we ? If you dont like him then fine, but get ALL the facts and make an informed and sensible opinion, not a fkin soundbite like that !

A striker who according to Matt Le Tiss on Sky completely screwed up a one on one with the keeper by shooting far far too early !

No, he isnt. And before anyone starts this business about being in a "Theo is crap" brigade nobody is saying he is crap, some of us however dont think he is as good as some do. Big difference. Theo is a good player, on his day, but they are quite spread out.

Amazing isn't it ? And quite sad too.

IF true and I was Theo i would sign the contract bloody quick. As peacey says he aint that great and i wouldnt be surprised if Alex doesnt end up having his place in the team. I know which one I would prefer.
