I would have him ahead of Forte any day of the week.

This ! The benefit of a flying start is when you do have a blip then the other teams still need to catch up first, never mind building an uncatchable lead over us !

Be bloody funny if he took the job, lost a couple of games early on and all his journo mates turned on him at long last :-) Bet a fair few of them have helped keep a few skeletons in the cupboard for the saggy chopped old ****.

Bloody hell you wouldnt seriously employ him or Stuart Gray would you ? Talk about the kiss of death.......your numbers up soon Mr Cotterill :-)

A lot of the balls he was asked to chase in the first half in that searing heat was a bit unfair on him. He has great pace, if he had gotten a few decent passes he would have shown his true potential, not that he was bad I might add.

I will second that.

Really very impressive and getting better each game. I think the injuries last season really set him back but this season he has shown what a fine player he is.

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 ?
