I probably should know but how many goals has he scored for the under 23's?

Really? Fraser Forster went from England to third choice. Redmond was so deflated that Pep Guardiola felt the need to have a word with him as he left the field. I don't think it reflects well on our club.

I just don't like watching good footballers who have demonstrated ability being drained of confidence be negative fans. Fraser Forster is a good example and so too was Nathan Redmond. If they were encouraged and not criticised I think it would be better for the club. It would make us a nicer place.

Quite true. He is clearly a good guy and has plenty to offer on the field. The people that slag off our players are the ones that are responsible for a rapid downturn in the atmosphere and spirit of the club when things don't go well.

Romeu is one of the best players I have seen in a Saints shirt. He is also intelligent and I would imagine a good influence around the camp. Boufal is a fabulously skillful player who needed an arm put around him. I am never quick to criticise managers but Hughes is guilty of bad man management.

Based on the last year, those taking up this exciting opportunity will have a fifty fifty chance of seeing a home win.

We had some good times under him and I thank him for that. I think things just went stale like they did at Aston Villa, Swansea, Stoke and West Brom. That is modern football. you get good players and managers and other people want them and they want the money. I wish him well. Things are unlikely to be fixed just like that.

Would be fantastic to be able to support a domestically reared team. The team would need to be blended with older positive influences like Oriel, Davis, Yoshi and Bertrand. Make Southampton Great Again#

Comes across as a great guy to have around the club. He is not top notch but nor are we. I thought he had an impact when he came on against Newcastle. It is players like him that make me support Saints. Wish he would get a run in the team.

I remember it well. We got thumped that night and if that goal had counted it would have changed the course of the game

I am not arguing that we would win the Championship just that there would be more if a reason to support the team.

We had no money then but maybe if we could have a financially controlled landing it might work.

Thank you. Part of me would like to see us reassemble our loanees and have a go in the Championship. It would provide more of an incentive to support a team made up of a lot of our youth system.

You can add four season tickets to that. I must have asked a dozen people - there was limited appetite to see us get beaten.

Quite right. It was not that long ago that you could beat anyone in the league and all the big games were fiercely competed and you would be excited about them having a ago. But now it is simply not the case. I had to miss today and surprised myself by not being irritated. I just knew we would be beaten. Very sad but I am not sure how you can change it.

Well said. What a great guy to have around the club.

Disagree. He has valuable insight and the right voice for it.

Iain Dowie?

Frankie Bennett - tipped by the News of the World as one to watch after his goal against Chelsea! What dish could you once order on the menu of curry house Kutis that was named after an investor and ex Saints player Francis Benali

Very interesting thank you. I remember Fonte saying a few years back how much they rated him.

As I understand it you suggested that intensive farming has meant that hedgerows and stonewalls were being lost. I pointed out that they were built and planted for sheep and cattle but not pigs and chickens because in the 18 and 19th century when all the hedgerows and walls were built they were built for cattle and sheep but not for pigs and chickens which were generally farmyard animals. When pigs became more intensive they did move out onto the fields but no hedgerows or walls were built for them so they will not be lost. That really is me done.

I don't know you Buctotim, I am sure you are very nice guy. The trouble is Google makes you think that you are a lot cleverer than you are. You will probably notice that when it comes to farming, pubs and drinks I might join a debate on here. That is because I have or have had interests in all of them. When it comes to pigs, I have a business that I run which fattens pigs through a bed and breakfast system. On that note I will leave the debate and leave you to google bed and breakfast pigs.

I have invested in lots of things, some work out others don't but yes I am still involved in the drinks industry. I am genuinely embarrassed that I have wasted so much time arguing about whether a hedge was ever planted to keep a pig in. You?

Yes I never thought I would be squandering time on a football forum arguing that the pig is not an animal that roams in fields! The irony is that I run a pig business.

I am sorry but you seemed to be suggesting that by bringing pigs indoors that has an impact on stone walls and hedgerows numbers. It does not because the pig was always a back yard animal. That is why when farming became more intensive and they were put in small fenced pens in outdoor fields they needed the Arks you pointed out. There are still a lot of pigs outdoors because they are a different welfare standard and you get a better price for them from the supermarkets.
