Viking Saint

what I find so hard to stomach is that we sound so flat and lacking in passion.....where's the fight gone? I don't care what team we field, but I expect some guts from my team....

at least we just managed an attempt on goal....shame it's taken us 46 minutes to muster it....

'resignation' in the players' body language is how the radio commentator puts it....

ffs...I'm going to walk the dog.....

R5L, Saints defence just switch off......heard that before??

****....

anyone got a video link??

excellent post mate.....we've had too many years of instability caused by meddling chairmen....let NA get on with it and let's get behind the boys....COYR!!!

and always nice when West Ham lose....

COYR!!!!! good mix in the team and good to see some getting a run out....no sign of Fox then?? :/

and nobody with a shred of decency was demanding HR for the same post.....the guy is a crook and a liar.....NC wouldn't touch him with a bargepole.......you don't back a manager by spending umpteen millions on his targets and then showing him the door....

always felt Schneiderlin would shine in the Premiership and really showed his class today......

looked a bit like England for the first 20, very deep and organised but no outlet once we won back possession and consistently gave it away......huge improvement throughout the game though and feel good about the way we're shaping up.....

Fonte's lack of pace was exposed cruelly as he tried to get back to atone for his mistake....who did he think he was passing it to???

did you see that grossly over-hit last pass? and it wasn't the only one.....I like the guy and am not one of those on here who have a permanent downer on him but can't convince myself that he's PL standard.....would love to be proven wrong though......

seen it, but was all over the web yesterday that it was off....wait and see I guess.....wouldn't be unhappy with Olsson instead though.....

Jagger can actually still deliver his songs and has a very tight band behind him to deliver.....I saw McCartney join Springsteen at Hyde Park and was disappointed at how poor he was, even if anybody would get blown away by The Boss......

a pretty positive afternoon all-round......think we deserved the draw and Fonte gave it away for their goal, two chances we should've taken.....like the look of Clyne and JWP....thought Gazzaniga did okay, still getting used to his defence....Guly still too inconsistent, Lambert a bit off the pace, worry whether Rodriguez has the physicality for this division??? but overall, not unhappy with the performance.....decent shape and good movement....can't get used to watching us in that kit though......:/

McCartney is actually 70, but yes, his voice is getting very weak, can't hit the tougher notes anymore....anyone else notice him being out of time with the backing track in the first verse??

and this is confusing the hell out of me.....last I heard, the deal was off and Fulham were in for him???

was a good day for the club all-round then? ;o)

“We think that we have developed one of Britain’s finest young defenders through our academy and then given him great experience playing first-team football. He’s certainly got the ability to be a very good Premier League player and we will not be accepting their offer but going to tribunal." and why, may we ask, would you go to the trouble of developing one of Britain's finest young defenders and then not make the effort to tie him in to a contract that reflects your investment????? if he opts not to stay with your club, then it is clear that he wishes to develop his game somewhere else and a fee is decided accordingly..... is this really newsworthy???

Brighton: tinpot club, no history, no nostalgia, no class, no credibility, no respect I suspect they feel that if they have a 'traditional rivalry' with someone it makes them credible and longstanding as a legit football club...... they're a comedy act orchestrated by King Clown Poyet what does stick in my mind is that Poyet was mentioned more than once on here during the wilderness years as a potential manager for us.....the thought chills me to the bone whatever happens next season, I believe NA will go down in the club and supporter records/annals for all the right reasons....I desperately hope he is successful with our club as he strikes me as an honest, decent and passionate man......personally, one of my disappointments during the dark years was that we stopped being many peoples' favourite 'second team'.......'Southampton, tucked away on the South Coast, never going to win the league but always capable of beating anybody on their day, and never an easy place to travel to.....a breeding ground for some great young players'....I loved that underdog tag.....I've had various feedback about NC, in particular from a friend who is the Chairman of a championship club, and it wasn't complimentary, but ultimately, I feel like there are standards at our club which are sadly lacking in this day and age, and that NC and NA are the men to take it forwards....please forgive the Daily Mail style rant, but it feels great to feel good about my club again after so long......COYR!!!!!

we're gonna walk this league without Forecast ;o)

looks dangerous....watching the kit made me feel quite nostalgic.....
