I thought this was going to be a prescient thread : " On this day in history..." Jan Poortvliet had his last match as Southampton manager.

Why ? As it is, we are not reliant on youngsters, we have a mix which currently includes Davis, Perry, Skacel, and Euell, and until this week also had Wotton, and may yet get Saga back. Most of the teams in this division are a mixture of youth and experience. It wouldn't be so bad if the youngsters were all ours, but alongside Peckhart, Pearce, and Robertson, (none of whom are ours ), we have even got a loanee in from a League 1 club ffs. It's the reliance on crap tactics, a poor manager, and D McG as the lone striker that have got us into this mess.

With Forest 3-0 down at home to Donny, we stay out of the bottom three

Given your location, and the effect that US emissions are having on the ice caps, I wouldn't gloat too much

Some of them would never have got picked by NP; can you imagine DMcG's big-headed attitude fitting in with NP's work ethic, yet he's the first name on Jan's team sheet.

Aren't we now up to three dutchies ?

Bottom three by the final whistle :(

And Wotton is apparently on the way out.

Cocaine overdose is not nice: convulsions, heart failure, or the depression of vital brain centres controlling respiration. Result: usually death. The other main physical danger you face is damaging or perforating the septum, the thin membrane that separates the nostrils at the top of the nose. Regular coke snorters often suffer instant nosebleeds when snorting the drug. Occasional users may detect next-day bloodied mucus and congestion. Heavy users have their septums dissolved by corrosive effects of cocaine. It does not grow back

We will never know whether NP would have made a difference, my opinion, and those of others on here are that he would have done. You are entitled to a different view. One thing we do know, however, is that the 'experiment' is floundering; there is no sign that Jan has the slightest clue how to turn things around, and Rupes will not admit his mistake in appointing him The whole exercise is about RL's ego and vanity.

Maybe we can ensure the Rupert does not have the opportunity to buy the club back. All we need is a couple of peeps on here to get together; one with connections to a cement works, and the other with Sicilian relatives

Friday evening by my reckoning :mad:

Phil Spector's "A Christmas Gift For You".

You are such a one trick pony.

The easiest start to getting out of our current position is to score some bl00dy goals !

There are emergenshy exitsh at the front of de plane and at de rear of de plane.

True, but Dalek is a tad predictable.

Davis, Perry, Skacel, Euell :confused::confused::confused:

Yes it is; it's the 'total football' ****** we are supposed to have bought into.

On Boxing Day we are away at Plymouth and Forest are at home to Donny. They are currently 1 point below us with a better GD. Do the math.

If I thought for a second this team and manager knew how to fight for survival it would help. The problem is they seem incapable of 'giving it a go' and will meekly surrender each and every home game with the same 'positive' drivel being spouted by Jan the man.

Nick, by the end of Boxing Day we will most likely be in the bottom three, and heading for the abyss anyway.

Nice to know that standards off the pitch haven't slipped in line with those on it

All I can say to the team is "Thanks a lot for the wedding anniversary present". :(:(! On the day we got married Saints were 9th in the top flight, and our home form was Won Drawn Lost For Against 8 2 2 29 17 Happy days:)
