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.

I would have Guly in for Kachloul but otherwise yeah. Seems a shortage in foreign left backs tho !

Possibly but assuming its in todays newspaper and more people will read that than an article on the internet its a bit unlikely.

He does NOW yes.

Yesss......you have to admit lads, I'm fkin good at this !!! :-)

ahem, as I was saying, Leeds are crap, they wont get anything down there !

I think it was a missed opportunity yes, but why oh why he chose Brighton is totally beyond me !

Dont you think it shows how healthy and good things are at the moment that the only bad player we can obsess about is the 3rd choice goalkeeper ?

Glad to see my praise of Leeds abilities has worked the usual magic. While on a roll I predict Burnley to beat us tomorrow.....there that takes care of that then :-)

Cant see Leeds doing anything down there, they are crap !

I think its a shame when all these big money bids were knocked back we didnt take a punt on Adam Le Fondre. Didnt cost Reading a fortune and just the sort of player NA and co, could have bought on.

Connolly was also an international, for Eire. Its hard to judge because of Connolly's bad luck with injuries, who is to say that a fully fit Connolly wouldnt have banged in 30 goals in a season ? Whilst because of all the long lay offs his record may not come close I cant agree that he is behind Phillips on ability. Connolly is the cleverest forward I have seen in a Saints shirt for many a year. I would take Connolly any day for his all round play.

He isn't.
