Of course, but the cost needs to be addressed. Billions extra is being poured into the NHS, has it improved? No, the budgets get biger and the need for really making it efficient is looked over. Even people in the NHS admit to the massive waste. I want the NHS to be good for us all but constant putting money in isnt the answer.

Its a difficult subject, as soon as you say teacher or nurse people get all precious. As i say Im not so concerned bout those at the lower levels but the management structure where it seems to be very much over done

Its not jealousy, it is common sense. Workers in the private sector are paying for lavish pensions and early retirement, Im not talking about pensios for the lower earners but the higher echelons

I agree, for the first ime he actually got involved a tad. He won hearers at both ends of thee pitch and did try to be more forceful. I hope its a sign of better things

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
