So who should have closed down Scholesy ?

Well if thats true (if, why should ADPs wage demands be in the pubilc domain...), it is indeed not OTT.

Presumably those who have never heard of The Southampton Way..

I have never posted about Rampant Rabbits before.... G_S suffers humour bypass. Well, he is in the dourest city on the planet.

Maybe Jos is panicking because he doesnt feel comfortable with Fontes reliability. I will never forget Niemi's Nightmare at Krapp Notarf, which I blame on a dire season from Lundekvam.

What would you call that formation ? Funnel Formation ? Concorde Formation ? Upside-Down Rampant Rabbit Formation ?

And it keeps Fonte and Fox off the pitch

One last hurrah in the English Premier League, or going to play with the kangaroos. It cant even be about money....

We're going for a 0-4-6 formation against the Wenger Boys. Do keep up...

FWIW I am too, but it wont take too many more rounds of null point before I start having my doubts. Anyhoo, I fancy us to upset L'Arse.

According to the Tw*tting going on, hes going to Olympiakos. And to Sydney. And to Liverpool. Amazing guy - can split himself in 4...

Two words - Jamie Redknapp

Have we sneaked Burley in the back door ?

Thats very optimistic. You dont think the likes of Morgan, Rickie, and Adam having tasted the big time, will be keen to continue cutting their teeth in the PL ? Or do you think by then we will want rid of them ?

I wonder what hes looking for in wages.

Hmmmm. Are we just seeking newspaper and media headlines now ??? How about 3 points ?

Did the player quality last season really permit it to be implemented properly ? This is why I view it as starting now. Of course if we are relegated not only will the players change, but the quality will go down, making it even harder to re-start.

On what basis ? Competition ? In fairness, you could argue that Jos, Jose and Kelvin are the cosiest players in the team. So maybe you have a point. I wonder what Fox is thinking ? Is he aware that Shaw is breathing down his neck ?

Aw, thats rubbish. Puncheon's rehabillitation seems nearly complete.

Thanks for that. Not everybody is as intelligent and mature as you to admit that they've mis-read what I've written, I think. They are too busy going off on one.

What does that mean, FFS ? Does he make costly mistakes or not ?

Yeah well that is the English game, and the greatest exponents of that are the England team, composed of players who have played at league level with players from around Europe and the world who are supposed to know a thing or two about posession. Not a Southampton disease, imo.

Bobby, no CB (or CB/LB pair, even) in the world is going to cost us 120million Why should we "mend and make do" after a 3 month transfer window ? Also what do we do if one of the 3 gets injured (highly likely, to be fair)

The problem with the "Southampton Way" is that if it takes too long to get off the ground, we are facing NPC football again next year and probably such a significant personnel change, as the better players find other clubs for PL football, that we face starting it again with a new set of players. I remember back in the summer of 2005 really willing the players to give us until Xmas to show signs of getting back to the PL, only for a massive exodus to be started by Kevin Phillips, the c**t. I personally think small deliberate steps are better than a big unfocused leap

Well, not in terms of money at least.
