This line is on ESPN "No matter what TV companies will lead you to believe in the build-up to this weekend's Clasico on the coast, the only genuine south coast derby in the eyes of Saints followers is against arch enemy Portsmouth. An animosity which runs so deep it makes Rangers vs. Celtic look friendly".

Liked this bit from ESPN "No matter what TV companies will lead you to believe in the build-up to this weekend's Clasico on the coast, the only genuine south coast derby in the eyes of Saints followers is against arch enemy Portsmouth. An animosity which runs so deep it makes Rangers vs. Celtic look friendly".

Him and Tadic very similar players.

For once one of your posts brought a slight wry smile to my face - still trying to forget that away match last December

Well I know quite a few who were pretty angry so his opinion is a fair one.

Clasie inclusion a big error imo, never ready for a big game. Hope I am proved wrong but Koeman has dropped one.

100% sure he is not injured.

And he is not injured, he was watching from the stands!

I hear he has become Franny's gardener

Saints charge a club a sum of money when they loan a player out and then the club doing the loaning get a bit back from Saints every time the player makes an appearance.

There are cyber warriors and there are über cyber warriors but you, mate, trump the lot you pathetic little weasel.

Woah lets write everyone off who has n't ripped up the world by the time they have turned 20 shall we?

They signed Maynard on loan a few weeks ago which means Sam has been on the bench recently but he has scored one for England U20s v Holland last week and came on yesterday v Turkey and helped turn a 1-0 deficit to a 2-1 victory.

Someone needs to look up the definition of centurion

No I agree with you questions re the size of a Mars bar etc etc are futile and embarrassing - you come up with some good points. One rumour I would like confirmed or denied is that Lowe had foundations put in at SMS when it was built that would enable an extra tier if needed. I have never seen the club comment on this but it would be nice to know one way or another.

I have no problem with the way the club is being run these days - hardly a foot out of place but I guess it would be nice to know things like "is there any chance of adding to the capacity one day or is that just pie in the sky"? On a personal level I would like to see the club devote some space in SMS for some sort of museum but I have already floated that to RK so the ball is in his court.

You got any of your own ideas?

And Platini should follow, how on earth did the FA still manage to back him replacing Blatter last week? The guy is as bent as a nine bob note.

Well done on a sensible appraisal of JWP who is slowly growing on me, but one thing on the grammar (sorry pedant alert). You say "Saints fans" with no apostrophes which is fine but then you say "Saints's triumph". I long ago stopped the comma bit because Saints fans or Saints triumph are like simple nouns being described. Does that make sense? Probably not!

Yep sums it up for me

Yep my thoughts were the same - a scramble for Klopp could well happen over the next few days

What five (off-field) changes would you make if you were the billionaire owner of SFC. Here is mine 1. Get rid of the horrendous Blue Peter club badge and replace it with the traditional City coat of arms. 2. Revert to our traditional navy blue shorts which we had until 1948 but we went to black because the navy blue cotton faded in those days. 3. I would (being very parochial now) ensure there was a museum incorporated into the stadium that was open to fans on match days. The club owns no memorabilia because previous regimes couldn't care less. There's lots out there and the fans need to have access. 4. Build some sort of train station outside the Kingsland incorporating the old tracks that went to the Docks. Expensive I know but how good would it be for al out of town fans to be able to catch a train to 50 yards of the station? 5. Buy PFC and turn it into our feeder club or alternatively close it down forever. Yea I know but seriously if you suddenly found yourself in charge at SMS what 5 things would you introduce to make this club better.

Tadic is a talented player but wastes a lot of that talent with carelessness which is incredibly frustrating

Well at least Cork never spat a dummy and refused to play (a decision that might have cost us our Europe place). I know who I would rather have next to me in a trench.
