Shearer is such a tedious chap he'd bore the squad rigid. No Way.

That was also my instant reaction.

Watching a New Dawn Fade.

Dunno - I've never had any problem, or complaints!

**** knows what is going on, but remember NA made those cryptic comments hinting that his managerial mortality was short, immediately after the final whistle and promotion against Coventry. Since that moment nothing has been quite right, and I think it does cast some light at least on the way we faded last season and limped home.

we wouldn't bounce up we would default on NC/Lieberhhs 5 year plan NC/Lieberhhs would abandon ship after 2 years Saints ****ed again

Fowler slating us on Sky now. Embarrassing and awful he says we were.

So much for "The Southampton Way", passing game out from the back, a la Barca... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Best post this month. :-)

I find it incredible that players who must have dreamed of Premier league football all their lives can "lose interest" after a few poor results. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Trouble is, I don't think Adkins' vacuous, fatuous ManagmentSpeak is enough to rouse the players at half time - or at any time for that matter - when their back are against the wall. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

There appears to have been a total collapse of confidence and spirit. This season could end up an utter humiliation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatal

Lambert does fit the Stoke mould, it has to be said.

It's th reverse - we are poaching jewell.

I have to disagree. The best guide to future behaviour is past behaviour. And if he didn't want to be here from day one, who held the gun to his head?

Redknapp destroyed the last vestiges of confidence in our squad when he came in, constantly talking down the players and the chances of staying up, when he should have been making stirring Churchillian rallying cries. Then, to deliver the Coup de Grace, he signed a load of crocked mercenaries, relatives and miscellaneous journeymen. Do we really want that all over again?

Yea - trouble is we are still there defensively!

With hindsight there were warning signs pointing to our current predicament throughout the last third of last season IMHO. Too often I came away from games feeling we had ridden our luck. We struggled against our promotion rivals in particular, and just limped home second. Don't know the stats for the last third of last season but I suspect they might reveal our emerging frailties, especially defensively.
