A friend asked the council some years ago how much of his council tax was for historic pensions, it came back if I recall correctly, as around 40%.

Apparently he likes to play from the back and so Russball II, hence Bazunu and his passing out. Personally Im not convinced, playing the last 20 minutes with backs to the wall is not good for my health. We were edgy with both Jay and THB giving nedless corners away.

I feel you are being unfair. It was the first performance from Downs that showed a little promise. He won headers up top and in our box. He is not yet a top player but Armstrong was inneffective for most of the game apart from the one pass to Jay.

The last 25 minutes I thought Simon Rusk had been parachuted in

Well when the ref has his hand in the air counting it down from 5, thats a bit of a clue. No excuse for not knowing the rules, and the reason its not happening is that all the other keepers release the ball

A terrible judgement error picking him. A real conundrum for the manager as he cant go ack to the less flappable Macca. I nearly smashed the TV up when he held onto the ball for more than 8 secs. I was shouting kick it !!! Let alone letting go of the weak shot my Chair than was simple. Yes he did save the header but the defence nervy enough let alone with him behind them. He also kicked into touch somethng gets pointed at Macca.

Fair point,

You only have to read the Match thread to work that out lol

I thought it was you

He has put himself into harms way . bravely on many occasions this season. No wonder he was offended

yes but I cant see any manager sorting out the forward line. Still was so unlucky that we created numerous chances game on game and AA or Archer failed to take them. The chance that the BC forward had one on one, I doubt either of our would have put it in the corner like he did. How many points has the proflogate finishing cost us this season??

I did wonder if it was one from here

I thinkwe paid him out for the length of contract left and so itwouldnt matter if he had gone elsewhere

I was thinking this morning how sad Iam to have this bloody football club so ingrained in me that I had trouble sleeping the last couple of nights, as I was fretting who was to be the next manager, or how we turn it around. 57 years of going / supporting this bunch of overpaid blokes kicking a bag of air around!! If only the club had been called McDonalds, or SOfa Direct Icould have left them years ago, but my civic pride and it being called Southampton has imprisoned me !!

I saw that ,Chewton Glen apparently

Hes already in the boardroom

The profile of player we purchase has been mad for a long time. We need tall athletic footballs who can getaround the pitch and not be bullied like our lot seem to be.

If the Turkish side has notkept up with the payment schedule perhaps we could bring back Tall Paul. Im told hes the top scorer inTurkey at present. Surely hed score loads in th Championship

If Spors is selecting the manager he might not need to worry about the result as he could be at Juve by then!!

Fairbut whoever it is, has the clout to stop him coming back!

To me if I was the owner Id be happy with Parsons for the way he was developing the commercial side

well at present hes a long way from playing with the players in front of him in the pecking order. To me it seems pretty obvious that he is not cut out being away from his safe environment (my opinion) A young lad having many different opinions guiding for their own agendas. If im correct some of his best football was under Juric (Man Utd away, I think Juric was maanger then)

Of course whoever is the manager doesnt get over the fact that we have no target man.

I dont rate Gerrard but I wonder if he has the clout that the players would respect and would we get some goodwill from Liverpool to get loans in.

An impressional young kid being guided I assume by an agent whose eyes I feel were not looking at what was best for the young lad. We knew he had trouble coping at Chelsea and came back, sadly that door is closed as we wouldnt be in position to give £10m back for him plus his ridiculous wages
