Haha that's good!

That's my point. COACHED!!! can't think of the last manager we had that coached a player other than Strachan.

Got talking to a steward last night and the 'head' steward is gunning for W******d because he got off lightly from the urine incident. They can't stop his arrival for the Saturday game which is a shame really. What ideas or suggestions can we help them with to see if they can make it a hattrick in throwing him out! Ps I believe he got kicked out before after he smuggled his bell in and the 2nd time was for standing on his seat I believe?

There are plenty of managers that get results in our league with so much less. The one worried I have had for a few years now is when we buy a great player they start off so well and then they turn average. Noting Hammond here and my fears are Puncheon/forge too, we miss the George Prost method of coaching I guess

Love the top as my stomach muscles would look good in that kit but I must object to the shorts as I would hate to see Wayne Thomas flashing off his tackle!

Cortese is fair on what he made public on Solent, If the team was playing well and was unlucky with results then patience would be the word. Struggling against teams like Exeter by producing another lame performance is not good enough. On our recent performances since the beginning of December, I fear Cortese is worried it will continue next season. Another worry Cortese should have is, IF we go out the F A cup then our gates will drop to 15k because the fans know we won't reach the playoffs.

Reading the guardian article this morning tells me that Pardew is under pressure to deliver now because NC and ML are not in this for fun. Come on Pardew no more excuses about another draw and get '****ing' stuck in for 3 points.

I'm with you Fitzhugh on this, I know a manager should be given time but when you are winning games quite easily around October and November and then a constant struggle since then and yet he has brought in about 2 million of talent, you would expect even more improvements on the performances.

If you reach 1,000 I will give you mine as a gift! not.... keep trying tactics as you will get one.

Awesome Len, phoned 241 times on the 0800 number but once on that one :-) Spoke to Ian who was a star.

What time does the office open and plus what's the best number to call?

maybe they can now as it's been named as the Pompey boss. Any tasty songs? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2838279/Avram-Grant-is-the-Premier-League-manager-who-visited-a-brothel.html

Let us know when it's bacon and egg!

You the one that did the Dann signs last week? tutt tutt

I knew about that but if you had a signal for 30 seconds only on top of a mountain then I would choose this thread because it would have Saints gossip too. Keep it coming guys :-)

I know Pardew said that's it but I still guess he will bring one more in that's not cup tied. Hopefully this thread can be updated with all our speculation and other deals that are happening so I don't have to visit so many websites to get the latest info on any team like Portsmuff. Off out for a all day walk in the Mid Wales countryside. So I predict 1 permantely out 1 out on loan + 1 in.

Pass them a cheque over but make sure it's bounces so they know what it feels like.

Get this one in and plus one more if you can offload 3 players, then throw the bloody cheque book away and build for next season. Get a right back in then unless Jon (whatever the name) is any good and watch us not only win the league by 13 points but another trip to wembley with a bloody good cup run where we could beat anyone. After that we keep the team in the championship because stability will take us even further up the league.

We was ****e at millwall so let's hope we get our usual 3-1's back. IMHO I would prefer Jaidi with Fonte so that they can start to form a good partnership. 3-1 me thinks with a Barnard double and a lallana wonder goal.

Erm, It was on Radio Solent at 7.20 this morning with the comments, This is Pardew's reaction to the draw. I agree he could be playing it down but it would of been nice for him to say 'We will crush those skate *******s but in the mean time we are only focussed on the league now.'

It's just another game to us vs Portsmuff and that our main task is the league. I'm slightly worried by those comments as he needs to know the score here. Anyway my points is this. Which current Saints players know the passion of the Southampton people? The current squad leaves me with just Lallana & Mills, do you think the rest will have the passion or bottle to want it badly?

'Get your hand off the back of my head, I can do it myself?'

Every team has them!

If that's the case then the last 3 signings could be a waste as we should of got 3 of forte's standards which would of flew us to the championships. I hate the thought of a squad of 50 odd players as it would make us a joke.

we won't hear nothing until after training and I bet you a tenner that the officail website will show a photo of him training. I'm stranded at Colbury but i'm pondering over a trip to staplewood.
