Auto every time. I would be very concerned about us choking the playoffs and can vividly visualise what would happen with the clock at 88 minutes and the score at 1-1...

I think it is because BHA never expected to be in this position, like the bookies and the rest of Division Three the expectation was that Saints would have a cakewalk. You have to admire the way that they keep grinding out the results whilst we flatter and stutter - it's a smaller club enjoying rubbing the big boy's nose in it...

His new business is located close to Charlton's stadium. It's the Sherpa van parked in the layby behind the home end, selling high end hot dogs. The operation is called 'Burger Me it's Rupert Lowe Esquire' - Andrew Cowan is in charge of corporate finance and Bovril...

What this does tell us, as if we didn't know already, is that our potential play off credentials are not great - particularly given Charlton's recent form against ours, something like 60% of the play this evening, and 3000 travelling fans. The other obvious concern is the rapidly depleting midfield as we are currently losing two players per game - time to bring in some serious loanees and pronto...

Joey Deacon...

Dons to win and Mackerel-Smyth to Norwich on Tuesday morning as we go second later the same day...

If it is the Axis of Evil must consist of Mike Osman and Jimmy Cricket...

And there I was praying for the Manzil Tandoori! Adkins out...

Pizza Clarke Graham Baker Painer Golac Budgie Flymo Hughie...

I would go for a mafioso theme in honour of Nicola 'Teflon-Don' Cortese...

Howard would be an excellent signing, a vastly experienced player and a solid pro (quality in the Murty mould) - could just give us that cool head in the middle of the park for the run in that we have been crying out for. Would love it if this happens...

We can't win, they lost 3-1 at home ffs! We have played them three times this season and the aggregate score is 7-1 - what do they want us to do, beat them 10-0 with gusto and guile to rival Brazil 1970, and then apologise? This is not journalism, it is blind hated, the kind of blind hatred that winds people up and can result in violence after a few pints and some mis-timed provocation, for that these stupid hacks should be reported to the PCC. When we got beaten by united in the cup, it was a case of the better side having better players and consequently another gear, and I think that has been the case when we have played Bournemouth this season. Had we treated united with such animosity after that match (and after all they put the nail in the coffin of almost three decades of top flight football for us), we would have looked ridiculous, just as Bournemouth and large elements of their small-minded, ill-informed fan base do now!...

Measured and reasonable in the circumstances, well done Daren!...

This tick turd of a provincial journalist is an agitator, pure and simple. Football history is rather more sophisticated than making rash assumptions and unsubstantiated comments, every statistic of the past 50 years shows Southampton as a mid sized top flight club, whether it's tenure, attendance, or international players. As far as I am aware mis-management, administration and the Taylor report were not Saints choice - have a look at Birmingham, Sunderland and Middlesborough for comparison - are they small arrogant clubs too? There seems to be a collective mental illness effecting our seaside friends...

Reminds me a lot of Richard Hall, a really good prospect who could be our first choice in the Prem. Grounded too, so that won't be lost on the lad...

I think that it's a misprint, it's supposed to be Laura Ashley!...

Spot on...

Need Paul Tisdale to fire his boys up now!...

The south coast survival battle next season will be Portsmuff FC V PricewaterhouseCoopers...

I think it would be tolerable for a novelty season, an amusing stepping stone on our march back to our rightful place in the Pantheon of world footballing excellence! Assuming we beat Yeovil this evening...

If we could get MB on loan and then permanent in the summer on promotion, perhaps he could recreate this dainty interception when we play the blue few:

I thought the original post summed it up very well, but as usual it is likely that what is glaringly obvious from the stand will not translate to the dugout. We need that seasoned pro who has seen it and done it to b*llock and nurture in equal measure - also to provide a positive focal point for the supporters. The problem I fear is that this type of player does not fit into the SFC blueprint, as a big profile / ego, on potentially big wages with no sell on value is not likely to appeal to the Chairman...

To be fair, had we got the 'housewives choice' Martin O'Neill (he was in the penthouse at the De Vere for a week waiting by the phone ffs...), we would have beaten Oldham 16-0 and be in the quarter final of cup. Also, all of the players would have been shown him respect, and be happy to pay their own fare to sit on the bus with a smile on their faces...

What was a mere seven points now looks like the f*cking Grand Canyon once more ;-)

I think an implosion is more likely than a blip for the Punch & Judy crew at this stage in the season (and dearly hope so), if the next set of results see the gap closed to four points it's tally-ho. The best case scenario would be for us, Brighton and Bournemouth all to be promoted this season. Then next season us to get promoted to the Premiership with Brighton, Bournemouth and Portsmouth being relegated to Division three and to remain there for ten years until Milan Mandic buys out all three for 500 euros to form Spartak Brightmuff with home games at Lee-on-Solent...
