Tell me about it. I remember in his last match at home to Port Vale in the Cup we equalized and I couldnt even force myself to stand up and applaud the goal. A very miserable time indeed.

The only decent player the useless ***** actually did sign. I hated, literally hated going to The Dell that last half season he was in charge, it was rubbish, plain and simple. What a nightmare combination Branfoot as manager and Lowe as Chairman would have made. Thank Christ we were spared that. And for anyone who thinks things wouldnt have been different if Hoddle had come back when Lowe for the only time I can remember bottled it, well they must be mad. There is no way we would have been relegated with Hoddle in charge.

Providing he is fit I'm not sure that would be true in Connolly's case. He is proven at this level after all.

You never can tell with some people on here in my defence ! :-)

He did ???

That would do !

Yeah, bet the Police just love Sky right now !!

Oh right, that makes more sense, not like Solent to find out unaided !

There isnt anything saying any such thing on Huddersfield's OS. No one in their right mind would post that about a 20 year old who has barely played a dozen games. Soelnt is the only place the news has broke so far. Good luck to him, he was ok but never ready for Championship football.

We cannot sign anyone cos of the bloody high level security surrounding the new home shirt. They would have nothing to hold up for the cameras, so expect no signings until 21 July

Can I be first to say I am looking forward to reading Mike Osman's article.....and yes I really mean it. Top bloke IMO.

You forgot Anders Svensson for a start :-)

Niemi Monkou Svensson Fonte Golac Ekelund Morgan Berkovic Fernandes Pahars Ostenstad

Bit desperate counting the Scots, Irish and Welsh as foreign isnt it ? We are all from Britain dont you know :-)

Marian, with Ivan Golac a very close second.

Its not just strange, its bloody stupid ! And as I asked earlier if the home kit is being launched 2 weeks before the season starts when is the away kit launch likely to be ?

Wouldn't they have done that with the 125 year kit and incorporate the names in the sash ?

So with the home shirt being unveiled 2 weeks before the season starts when the hell are they releasing the away shirt ?

You would want it even more if they showed you what the bloody thing will look like.......I cant believe they will start taking orders and still not have shown customers what the design is. That is just crazy.....its a football shirt FFS not a secret blue print for a nuclear war submarine !

Exactly......why dont they just show us what the bloody thing will look like ? Surely they arent going to keep it a closely guarded secret up until 20 July, thats just crazy and begs the question what kit will they play pre season friendlies in that come before 20 July, ie in Switzerland ?

GK - Peter Shilton RB - Ivan Golac LB - Mark Dennis CB - Chris Nicholl CB - Mark Wright MID - Matt Le Tissier MID - Steve Williams MID - Jimmy Case MID - Rod Wallace STR - Kevin Keegan STR - Alan Shearer SUBS - Niemi, Mick Mills, Ken Monkou, Alan Ball, Mike Channon, Phil Boyer, Adam Lallana Manager - Lawrie McMenemy Quite frankly watching the Saints since just before the 76 Cup Final I could probably have picked 3 teams......**** I haven't got Marian Pahars or Danny Wallace in there !!

That would not surprise me in the slightest if that were to happen.

Bloody disgrace. This is what happens when you dont sign anyone

The Tranmere lad ? When journalists says outside the Prem they mean clubs who will be in the Championship next season. League 1 and 2 dont count for the journo's remember !

Totally agree with all that. Southampton FC and its continued rise back to the Premiership is more important than one player, and if that money realises the vision sooner then I'm all for it.
