Pat’s funeral is at St Boniface Church in Shirley at 12 noon on Tuesday, 11 February.

No not at all - when we have actually sold him, then maybe yes

Listen I am a glass half empty sort of chap however no way will we go down but...... I am slightly underwhelmed we have shown no ambition in the market though. The FA Cup should be a goal for us but we don't really seem bothered.

I think that unfair criticism. I just didn't think he would be up to leading the line against the best team (ish) in the country. However I was quite pleasantly surprised and thought that miss was not as bad as it looked as not only did the ball come quickly it came across him and his timing had to be 100%. Don't get me wrong I am all for youngsters coming through and would prefer him to Do Prado but I remember a young full back we had called Phil Warner who got ripped to shreds by a rampant Overmars at Highbury and never played in the Premiership again. He needs to be nurtured and not relied upon.

And the next one off the wage bill is......

If we have serious intentions on winning the FA Cup - which I hope we do - then we do need another striker, assuming the mad Italian leaves. -
Pat Parker, Saints centre-half between 1951 and 1959 has sadly passed away on Tuesday 28th. He played 145 games for Saints and despite being a Devonian remained in Southampton after football. The last time I saw Pat was the summer before last when despite being in a wheelchair he came to West Quay for one of Terry Paine's "Suited and Booted" signings. He was so pleased to see his ex-playing colleague. A lovely approachable gentleman, my thoughts go out to his family.

looks like it I am afraid

With Lambert out for a few more weeks we do need someone in up front. Gallagher did well but it is too much to ask a nipper to lead the line

Just waiting for a few Hagiology books to be stocked now? -
Has our interim CEO resigned already?
Fitzhugh Fella replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
Yes that was the mix-up, sorry Gareth Rogers is still there -
Has our interim CEO resigned already?
Fitzhugh Fella replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
No I have been told he has left the club, I am not saying it is 100% but the source is genuine and reliable -
Hearing from a good source that our interim CEO has stepped down which has left us without a CFO and a CEO. Anyone else heard any whispers? Update - my source was wrong - happy to say Gareth is still there I have now been told. Apologies to everyone inc him. I think my source was referring to another departure last week. Mods please close this thread

We once had two right backs (Ellerington and Ramsey) not only vying for places in the Saints team but the England team too.
-
Cracking performance. Chambers awesome Rodriguez too easily "out muscled" both defensively and when he plays through the middle Gallagher a real prospect, that chance was very hard as it came very quick, very promising Cork, no way can he be dropped Shaw cracking cross for Fonte's first goal Good atmosphere, one of those special SMS nights. Should have won but happy with a point, now we just need to sign a striker imo.
-
It really is not great to play Arsenal and rely on a rookie no matter how promising he is. Can't see us finding the net tonight.
-
You don't seem to have grasped Osvaldo simply can't be allowed back - he is history but we do need to replace him you are right on that score
-
Absolute re-writing of history. He was the most negative manager we ever had. Have you ever read what Mick Channon wrote about him in his biographies?

Fitzhugh Fella replied to rickylambert's topic in The Saints
I love this post, really made me laugh -
How do you know he apologised (Eng sp) privately if it was private?
-
I like this article and admit I can't truly enjoy a Saints win unless it is coupled with a P*mpey loss - even better when we win away and they lose at home.
-
One thing I do know Pinnacle were nothing but a sham and one fact I have recently learned is they tried to tap Liebherr up for a few bob by offering to drop out of contention. Could explain why NC was so anti.

Spot on - it is in the correct place without a doubt -

Would love to write something and I am sure Lowe would be prepared to talk but not sure everyone would tell the whole truth. Plus am I objective enough? Manji would certainly say NO to that.
