Torbay Saint Posted 2 January, 2009 Share Posted 2 January, 2009 On the BBC Saints 1976 article it says that Channon could not believe the odds for Saints winning the cup final. He thought 5-1 was long in a two horse race. The Ladbrokes website currently has us at 11/1 for Sunday. By interesting do you think he means a 'stuffing'.

United will arrive at St Mary’s on Sunday without Rio Ferdinand and Carlos Tevez for the Reds’ FA Cup third round tie against Southampton. Sir Alex told press on Friday that Ferdinand is still struggling with the back injury he sustained in the warm-up at Stoke on Boxing Day, while Carlos Tevez will not return from Argentina in time for kick-off. “Unfortunately Rio's still not training and we’re trying to give it time to settle," the boss said. "We’re managing it the best we can. He certainly won’t be playing in the next two games but hopefully we’ll have him ready for Chelsea next Sunday. By that time it will have hopefully settled down and he’ll be available for the big one against Chelsea. The work we’re doing at the moment is geared towards making his back more supple and there’s more resilience to the problem. The work he does in the gym is important.” Ferguson also admitted he had not yet decided whether Cristiano Ronaldo would face Southampton. “I may not play him on Sunday,” Sir Alex said. “We’ll see. We’ve got a big month in January and we’ll navigate that month with the 23 players I have. Those 23 are going to have to play a part, particularly in the game against Southampton and the two legs against Derby [in the Carling Cup semi-final]. The teams at Southampton and Derby will be different, for example.” Southampton may be languishing towards the bottom of the Championship table, but Sir Alex says his side won’t take victory for granted on Sunday. The FA Cup is, after all, renowned for throwing up surprises. “It’s a different kind of competition and one that requires luck too, you have to remember that”, he said. You can be dominating a game and get one break against you, as we did last year against Portsmouth in the quarter-final. There was a breakaway and a penalty kick, our keeper was sent off and we’re out of the cup. That’s what cup football is. It’s sudden death and anything can happen. We always say: ‘Give us a home draw against anyone’. We’ve not got a home draw, Southampton have got that and it’s an advantage to them. But it’s a good stadium and a nice pitch. They’re a young team, their coach has done a great job considering he’s not got any money to work with and he’s having to make do with young players.

Should give food for thought to those who would make JP the scapegoat for the ****ty situation we're in. He HAS done a pretty good job with practically bugger all to work with. Sorry to tell you but JP has certainly not done a great job, in fact he's done a very bad job so far. 1 home win all season, nuff said As for what Fergie says, all managers say something good about the other team before games. In fact if he said in his pre-match interview that we are total **** and will be a complete walkover then everyone would be saying his comments were out of order.

We do too... but they're not coming. Why? Patience has ended. Now this makes for an important discussion point. I think you are right John - Lowe's plan will take time... alot of time... infact so much time potentially that our grandchildren may see the benefit. How long? Forever? But, I think it has already failed because the supporters have lost patience. And you can never get it back whilst failure continues. And it will. So, I think its time for all of us to admit it wont work as we've all lost patience and its time to revert to running the Club as a football club again and rebuilding the tried and tested way with new strategic leadership.

We are not in a very good position and it is just not possible to get into the position you crave immediately. I am more than willing to listen to alternative solutions so what can be done We are currently buying third rate players if any players at all. There is a way. We put a team together to sell the Club. I have described my idea numerous times. It requires a unified approach that goes out to find an owner and promote the club. If it fails it goes out again... and again and again. Its constructive, unifying and with media & council support is a viable alternative to doing nothing.

Marsdinho Posted 3 January, 2009 Share Posted 3 January, 2009 Start your own site up then, if you cant handle discussing things affecting Southampton Football Club and want to talk about nice, fluffy clouds and pretty tippy-tappy triangles instead... Well said that man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Share Posted 3 January, 2009 (edited) Can I ask someone with a betting mind to please tell me...? How much would I need to place on a bet in Ladbrookes tomorrow to gain the price of my ticket back when I bet on a Man Utd win? Ta.... that's using Man Utd as a realistic opportunity!

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 3 January, 2009 Share Posted 3 January, 2009 Fabio - Left back Wellbeck - Striker Possebon - Attacking Midfielder Tbh I think most good young United reserves would not want to come to SMS. I think they probably set their sights on Championship sides who are pushing for promotion. Borrowing from Millwall is more our scene right now - unfortunately.

Mr X Posted 3 January, 2009 Share Posted 3 January, 2009 Firstly it was p**s off, not f*** off. A small but semantic difference. Secondly it was prefixed by "in the nicest possible way, please". Thirdly it was suffixed by a smiley. Forthly it wasn't intended to cause offence (sorry to Mr X if it did). To be honest I can't be arsed to accept your challenge. I've no doubt that your posts are impeccably polite, tolerant of others, always on topic and never intend to cause offence.... You've kind of proved my point about this forum though, 30+ responses and very few related to the question posed. Until we stop arguing about the problem and start looking for a solution, this club will carry on destroying itself - in the boardroom and in the fan base. To be honest the only place people are trying to fix the club is on the pitch, with meagre resources but (usually) lots of effort. It's not working, but at least they're not sitting on their arses being pedantic arguing about "what's the point in playing if we've loaned out player X" or "how dare RL come and talk to Jan on the pitch before the game etc." I'm still waiting for a constructive response to my original post. In the spirit of New Year and all that, why not try and answer it as the question intended? I didn't offend me exactly just annoyed. But apology accepted and I accept my share of the blame for going off topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
