does she bleed?

and theres me thinking Upson was crap!

at last, someone quick!

which one??

norwich at home is my guess

quality!!

are you 'actually' being serious with this???

sorry, but am i the only one here not overly excited by this. Sorry, but the last few times i saw him play (for us), he was ****ing ****!

His original post asked "what makes Southampton so unattractive..."? So he is asking the question about players coming here, is he not? If so, please point me in the direction of any player that looks on the clubs fans' website forum, because everyone across the whole footballing world would be a near damn mirror reflection of this, every forum has its Alpines and Dunes etc, they haven't got anything better to do! As for support? Our support (for some second rate country bumpkin city) is pretty damned good at home, a few idiots booed, yeah, out of frustration more than anything no doubt, you can't judge us on that and show me a player who would. Basically its "how much a week?" and "where do I sign?". Thats why the post was ridiculous.

Everyone in football knows that this window is a nightmare to sign players, we will have to pay over the odds if we really want the player and that is the same for everyone else. There will be the usual last minute, deadline faxes etc. and hopefully we will be part of that. If not, then, barring injuries, we still have the same set of players that took us to the top of the league.

pROPER ASSESSMENT

what a ridiculous post!

and Perry Groves

David Hurst, Mark Hughes and Peter Reid, oh, and Stuart Ripley, Kerry Dixon and David Speedie

he'd have to be like one of those dead pirates in the jonny depp films then!

We finished 7th in 89/90, needs to get his facts right eh!

you're fu cking deluded mate - get a life!

I went there back in `98, a long story involving getting back to Brashov with a priest and pretending to me French!

He was able to make a judgement about football affairs on the BBC though...

my point really being is that he could carry himself okay on Football Focus, be with it as such (probably a better way of putting it), so, to me that suggests something. I utterly stand by the term 'selfish', that doesn't neccessarily take anything away from the tragedy and the man himself, its not being dismissive of his obviousl problems, but clearly, he was not an 'off his head nutter', he could think, he probably knew what he was doing, and what it would do to his family, if thats not a case of being selfish, then what it is?

Since when was it established that mental illness was the reason that GS took his life? Maybe it has and i have missed it. However, even if that was the case, it clearly wasn't a mental illness that affected his decision making and basic rationale. So, i would still stand by that anyone who takes their own life, leaving behind a family, and especially kids, is being somewhat selfish, as tragic as their circumstances might be. At the end of the day, the bloke was fit enough for Football Focus less than 12 hours earlier. I take nothing away from from GS as a player, God knows every team would have loved him in their side, and no doubt a top bloke, but you cannot deny that there is a slight on someone who does that to his family, but in saying that, there by the grace of God go I. Back to the main point, are we still going on about it? If the club do it, it wont inconvenience anyone, if they dont, then you can (if you are bothered) go to some memorial service somewhere else in the city. Football is football.

neither, if they want to do it, fine, it wont make a big difference either way. i just dont think it is something that needs to be campaigned for.

Its not because any same and rational person would see past it. My point being, are we having a minutes (whatever is trendy) for Gary Ablett, who has as much in common with Saints as Gary Speed? Two great blokes probably, but one selfish man who left a wife and kids gets unprecedented media coverage and the whole footballing nation clapping him to heaven, and one who died of bad luck basically. The point about The Titanic is where do you stop? There will be numerous opportunities within the city to recognise and remember those who died, anyone that can be bothered will probably be able to go to some church service or another. If you are not that bothered, then a minutes silence at SMS is inappropriate to you anyway.

SeaFrance have gone bust, a minutes silenced perhaps?

getting to the point whereby every pre match entertainment will be a minutes silence or clapping for anything that has moved then died...
