OfficialSaints Adam and Nigel Adkins have been speaking to press ahead of the trip to West Bromwich Albion. The gaffer has revealed that Gastón Ramírez and Jack Cork are back from injury and in contention for Monday's game. Full comments on saintsfc.co.uk soon.

Yeah we were quiet first half, they outsung us from where I sit (Chapel/ Itchen corner). But we shaded it for put downs... " We are southampton, we sing our own song" ... They didn't sing OWTS for ages after that

Clearly thats what they are trying to address. They might be on to something, cheap prices will attract plenty and create a good atmosphere for the game.

Useful going forward, similar to Danny Fox? Not that Ive noticed. Good set peice delivery and thats it

This reminds me of a Harry quote actually.... talking about dodgy people taking over football clubs and fans reactions... he said that football fans are fickle by nature. If Saddam Hussein became chairman and spent loads of money, theyd all be singing "theres only one Saddam" So I guess, utimately the vast majority would return to SMS and sing his name if we win 6 on the bounce, its a law of football. Really hope it doen't happen though, going down again with him, we'd be the laughing stock of football (and pompey) forever more

Embarrasing isn't it, the amount of people on here who suffer from paranoia. Convinced something is true without a shred of reliable evidence

Dont let common sense get in the way of the conspiracy theories!!!

Disagree with that. The team is set up correctly, even Gary Neville had said so. Individual errors are costing us. Take Sat for example... goal 1- foul on Carroll. Nothing to do with formations etc. goal 2- team in possession and moving up field, Yoshi tried to backheal (??) the ball over the attackers head, lost possession, goal. Nothing to do with formations. goal 3- Fonte handballed it, defence is complete control. Nothing to do with formations. goal 4- 3 men backing off one attacker. Ridiculous decision making, nothing to do with formations. Stick with it Nige

I vote we don't have these kind of polls until AT LEAST 48 hours after a game, positve or negative result. That way, we don't have the knee jerk reactions. Loyalty is one thing (not convinced Adkins would stay if Liverpool offered him a job) but more importantly, the facts backup that Adkins remains the best man for the job. 8 games is not enough to judge him on either, even if we had lost them all. But things do need to improve and he no doubt knows that more than most, its his job we're talking about after all. I think we should run the poll again now. My money would be on 80%+ approval ratings, with the 20% being the more vocal minority that we've always taken too much notice of in society.

Dont agree with the Adkins knee jerk reactions, but he does need to explain what he said to the team at half time, awful 2nd half. Yoshida was awful today. two school boy errors that caused the 2nd and 4th. Looks the panic buy he was to me. West Ham must be thinking how the f**k did we win that 4-1. Embarrasing

In fairness, my little boy is an under 11 and they always look round when the amber light goes off.

Quite right. Probably because we are the most culturally diverse countries in the world. We understand that not all Latvians are rascist or all Poles are not nice, because we probably know a few ourselves

Sadly, although he was immense second half, there was nothing pinpoint about his passing first half. Plenty of misplaced passes and poor decisions

Terrifying thread title!!!

No Dean, not the same. We never won the league 1 title. Like Gus says..They'll always be remembered for that. We've just got two poxy promotions and playing the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea each week

The most uncelebrated player we have- so glad he stayed, Saint for life

Well dererved and pleased for him. But why do I have a sinking feeling in my stomach? :\

Gaston Ramirez- Bologna to Southampton- £14 million With the ink seemingly about to dry on this one it is easy to see way-and this is meant with the greatest of respect to Southampton- there is an element of surprise to this move. Ramirez has been coveted by a whole host of Europe’s elite; he has everything to his game. His elegant playing style is a joy to watch, his intelligence when in possession belies his age (21), and his all round technique is fantastic. In a world where the diminutive playmaker is now all the rage, at 6ft Ramirez is far more physically imposing, which would stand him in good stead should he move to a more laboriously demanding league. Whilst the success rate of players moving from Italy to England over the past decade is far from impressive, those that do go on to impress are generally not players who have come up through the Italian youth system, but rather made their name in Serie A before moving to the Premiership. 8.5/10 (Chances of it happening today) http://www.sabotagetimes.com/reportage/bendtner-to-juve-and-4-other-transfers-that-will-definitely-maybe-happen-today/ He sounds perfect

place your bets now.... Yoshi

2 points ... He was top scorer at the last African cup of nations, Id say that means he's good enough. And he has an amazing back flip goal celebration, we need more back flips at st marys

Youre not sure????

poor

Disagree. Cortese was offered the CEO position at Milan a few years ago. I doubt that would've happened if he lacked credibility. Well he certainly doesn't in Italy anyway
