9-3

All gone quiet on the take over, either done deal or not? It's been so quiet, or secret because of due diligence. Done I think. Will they deliver?!!

R.I.P

Watch Saints v Middlesborough match day uncovered (Saints Youtube). On the way out for the prematch warm up Forster purposely throws the ball at Fontes head at the mural on the wall, couple of other players smirked. Whats that all about?

To think where we were then and where we are now......??? I saw Denis Hollywood outside St Mays few weeks back, nobody noticed him. I did, and smiled at him, he knew someone knew him! Bill Beeney is always outside the ground, alas, with a walking frame now.

Why were there approx 100 Be-er Sheva seated together in the Itchen Stand to the left, all jumped up and celebrated when they scored. They were obviously block booked.

That was my first game. Hence my user name!!

After today, lets give McCarthy a go. Frazer needs competition, he has been poor of late.

I'm trying so hard to like Puel!!

Can I say....I'm starting to like him.......???!!!

Who the f--- is laughing now??

Brave decision to play Sam right midfield, same as Bale. This is the new Bale, Sam for Real Madrid. He will be world class.

What was Shane Long's reaction Fitz? My big worry is that we have not got a goal scorer. Big Charlie is too slow and will not be here next season, Redmond talks the talk, Long, Jay have never been goal scorers. Oh for another SRL....

After watching Saints v Chelsea and Liverpool, we just have no pace or runners in the team, watched Charlie race after a 50/50 ball against Liverpool, he was way in front and got over taken. No pace.

Lambert, Pelle? Charlie no legs, Redmond, Jay Rod, Shane?

i always think this was a side step for Koeman, he was never going to be a Southampton man, same as Poch we were just a stepping stone. this will always be the case. Unless we build a 50000 capacity stadium and fill it, we will never ever compete, fact.

i'm in two minds on this one.

I was so happy for a draw!!

Please Tadic no more pens you are crap

Pure skill. This will forever be replayed.

Great result. Sam McQueen shows promise. Redmond best game. Charlie is such a character! Great welcome for Franny. Who were the ex players there? Kevin Bond, Andrew Surman, Tommy Widdrington, Flash Gordon, Kelvin Davis, Big Lawrie....what a fantastic reception he got as he walked back to the players tunnel.

I, after all my comments.. want to like Puel!!

So where now? He must be so disappointed.

Im trying to like him!!

Im sorry Fitz. That was so unprofessional. The penalty take is decided on the training ground, with the team, management and coaching staff. He is the chosen penalty taker. Who ever it is. Whatever the situation. Much as I love Charlie Austin, he embarrassed the Club, the manager, Tadic, Van and the supporters for over ruling the his position. Watching it, I felt embarrassed. Yes great when he scored, but if he missed? Then Puel comes out and says its not a problem, sorry, but Charlie over ruled you! So unprofessional.

Just a thought. They were together for one year. What would have happened if Markus stayed alive? He would have commended Nichola with the running of SFC. as a business. The sad part was Nichola excluded all ex Saints players and all the history of the Club when Markus died. I don't think Markus would have wanted that.
