It gave me a lift. A win gives a much lovelier feel. Shame AMN is not able to play against Arsenal, I thought he did ok although a bit behind the pace at times,but will provide some steel.

If he is this disloyal it may be best he's gone. I recall Harry saying that while managing Saints he told Spurs to buy Curtis Davies (he was very young at the time) as he had massive potential. Also when Pep was talking about him, he didnt seem to actually know who he was, well that was my impression when listening

Of course his role in getting Lavia here to sell to Chelsea is a masterstroke......ohhhh City have a £40m buy back clause

If you read the match thread on game day you would like that we hadn't passed to our own player all match. I read it on saturday and it seemed that we were terrible and had no fight. I watched the game on Sky (full match) and whilst we were not great it was not as bad as it seemed on here!! It was interesting how duirng the game Man City get their body position in such a way that they funnel players to the side-lines where they can then win the ball.

Delp cant score so no loss IMO. Tella is learning so good, Broja is too expensive. None would have scored for us today. You actually have to get the ball up the pitch to score

His mind doesnt seem to be on playing

It is so sad that we cant really say who else in our squad who is fit should have played!! Pretty concerning

I knew my week end was going to be rubbish as Saints were going to lose. So not as bad as I feel sometimes Cherries winning FFS

its depressing enough don't rub it in lol

Tempting fate BP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all Redmonds fault

Perhaps Ralph wants to see a new record as he gets pushed

I feel we are a bit of a laboratory test, see if a team of kids can stay up while increasing their value. As I posted a couple of days go, please tell me which player has improved under RH? The board are hoping the kids will do so under his stewardship, a lot of faith to want that!!!

Oldham home in the League Cup I assume?

Or Long at Anfield.

Whilst my father was a Saints fan, it was my older brother who took me to the Dell when I was about 7. It's all his fault.

I haven't yet had a reply of 'well go and support another team' that is a surprise. (I know what posts will now follow lol) Seems there is a silent swathe of fans who have lost/losing faith in the club. The lift we had signing the players has gone, as the obvious priority was missed of getting a goalscorer.

I felt very uneasy posting that as it was a feeling of betrayal in a strange way. It really is pathetic that a business has become so ingrained into my soul that I have these feelings. Gone are the days of the kid who spent his whole-time worshipping Ron Davies and could never understand how Saints weren't classed as the best team in the world lol.

I have got to the stage after following Saints for over 55 years that I now regret letting them become so important in my life. At times I dislike them so much as it really puts me in a poor mood for the weekend, I even try and avoid checking our score until the game has finished, but never manage to. I put the curse onto my 2 daughters and one granddaughter. My grandson whose father is a tepid Arsenal fan (now they are doing well) has bought him an Arsenal kit, in the past I would have made my displeasure of this very obvious, but now I am going to wave it through, as why should he have most of his weekends ruined by a club that really has no ambition, who are using us as an experiment and expect us to be happy with mediocrity. (not just the present owners)

Well whatever back post Harland decides to go for a headed will be easy meat for him

So are you implying that they can't improve their finishing? Whilst I understand that there are natural finishers, but perhaps there could/should be a way of coaching ones without the natural ability to enhance what they have. Perhaps spending hours after training using the right foot to try and be double footed, to spend hours one on one with a keeper learning how to do so. I read with a bit of surprise sometime back that JWP said he doesn't spend hours practising his free kicks, but just does 10 or so at the end of a training session. Perhaps that is a reason why he is not quite so sharp as he was with them.

I do agree but he is so close to being the next level up, getting a little cuter would perhaps make a difference.

It would work if you have a nuclear missile under your arm

Have we a specialist coach for the strikers? We have one for set pieces and goalkeepers, why not have somebody coaching the striker to score, to get their mindset right and focus for shooting

So sad, only now are the Brexiteers seeing the error of their vote. Sadly they will not admit it and will see their dream of an independent UK become, and Independent England that will be miniscule in the big world picture as France and Germany become the real powers the world listen to. All was done with the best intentions in mind but foolhardy. Having the world market sounds great, but try and export to say Brazil and see their import duties and tariffs that are eye watering. I know this from my own experience recently
