In these days of Internet, e mails, texts, chat rooms, tv and radio i wonder who needs who more ? I doubt Saints need the Echo quite as much as the other way round. And bearing in mind NC and ML have yet to do much wrong I would like to know NC's side of the story first. I think the Echo would be wise to tread carefully and eat a little Humble Pie......just bringing Lowe's name into it is hardly going to help their case as far as the man in the street is concerned either.

In fairness everyone was pretty poor against Bournemouth

YES ! Congratulations, you have finally said something we can all agree with !

Bugger it ! Its all very well people making statements about "the usual suspects" having a pop at Lloyd James playing right back but its not a pop it is a blatant fact - the boy is NOT a right back and if up against anyone who is half decent that is shown up big time. Why do you think that AP put Murty back at the earliest opportunity ? Its not fair on James to play him there. If the opposition dont play with much width then we get away with it, if they do they have a lovely old time against him. The biggest shame is the Murty / James partnership down the right had promise. I would leave James in midfield and play Wayne Thomas at right back myself.....but what do I know ?

Supporters being treated like human beings ! Whatever next ?

Garry - as a postie, or Royal Mail worker, can you tell me why the last two or three postmen we have had in our road are totally incapable of posting a bloody letter THROUGH a letterbox and would rather leave it sticking out of said letterbox to get soaked when it rains ?

Why not ? Look where most of them come from...same old poster just a different ex player/manager/director to have a go at. At least he is broadening his range and moving away from the usual 3 he has it in for. I do wonder if he knows that the "infamous" game at Hull to which he refers was "one of those days" that happen in football, where nothing goes right, including having to play the third choice keeper who has spent most of his time since at non-league then League 2 Torquay !! But I guess he wasn't there and its another stick to beat another ex-manager around the head with. Boring isn't he ?

I assume if it is Luton at St Marys that the Chairman of The Football League will not be attending then ?

Tend to agree with all that except your view on Alan Curtis. He was a good player, far far from crap

Draw Man Utd/Aresenal/Chelsea in the next round of the FA Cup. If the last league match of the season needed a win to get into the play-offs then it might get close but otheriwse its down to the luck of the Cup I think.

Is put a stamp on an envelope and pop it in a post box addressed to him c/o St Marys too obvious an answer ? Or hand it in at reception.......

Season ticket holder in the Kingsland, as is my old man. Stand closed. I have bought us a pair of tickets in the centre of the Itchen. Simples

I think some people are getting confused and adding the one he scored for Bristol Rovers twice

no you missed my point haven't you ? I am saying IF it was up to people on this board to pick the team..... FFS

However many Lambert gets, if he stays fit, I expect Connolly to be on more or less the same total as Ricky. 6 goals in 6 starts plus 3 as sub is a hell of a ratio, especially for a man who hasn't played for nearly two years. What a strike force.....then add in Lallana for good measure and oh boy !! Rejoice

David Connolly is a class act......I still maintain all those people who wanted to drop him to the bench in order to change the formation must be out of their minds. Le Tiss would never have stood a chance with that kind of logic.

Doesn't make sense does it ? We lost 3-1 to Brightoon and they were far from being the best team we have played so it means nothing. Just a look at the current form indicates we are one of the 3 best teams in this league with Leeds and........just a look at the current form indicates we are one of the 2 best teams in this league

You are right, that is negative Lets put it this way - 2 weeks ago we were 13 points of a play-off place, now we are 9 and not even at the half way stage yet. This really is a possibility.....lets not get too carried away but after years of dross and crap lets, just for a little while, be allowed to hope and dream......cos we aint had too much of either recently.

Has any team in England got a better record than that ?

The humiliation will be if they dont beat Burnley at home today. Looking at their upcoming fixtures their next win could be 16 January - not including the FA Cup !

For the first time I can ever recall there are no details of that ilk in the matchday programme this season. It does not even list Pardew and his coaching staff/Assistant Manager.

Thats a good call......fits 19C's qualification of a non free loader too since she and her family have always paid for their season tickets.

As you are perfectly aware I was referring to your flippant "i nominate Derry" remark. Perhaps, as font of all knowledge you could answer the question I asked earlier - is the role of President applicable at most clubs these days or is it an out of date title ? If it is from a by-gone day then I agree that things are best left as they are, if we are in the minority and just about the only club that hasn't got a President then I again refer to my opinion which is that a list of names is compiled and supporters/club staff etc vote on it. There would be no reason this could not extend to a supporter of many years standing such as Herbie Taylor, but I do think if its an ambassador type role it should be someone well known in football who people would instantly associate with Southampton. Remember they would have no power or say in the running of the club after all.

Would he ever be fit ?
