Will be great to get back to League 1 again won't it... all those 4 goal thrashings of minnows... Loved it!

So the owner's want to get rid of Saints, NC is in a sulk so he's off and MP won't need to bother to speak English after all. Another fine mess you've got us into. We are Southampton, we do it our way!

Here, here!

Wonderful news and what a coup if both play together in the later stages of the tournament. Well done lads and well deserved.

Really? What a quaint old world you live in. Even twenty-five years ago I knew of guys who received new company cars the day they were made redundant. People like Cortese have no sentiment in their bodies but I can live with that as long as he's the best at what he does and he is probably.

Typical of the Echo to stick the effing knife in at every opportunity. I hope Cortese stays and continues to stick two big fat ones up at them. This is one of the many reasons why I don't buy that useless rag anymore.

Spin this any way you want, it is not good news and will unsettle everyone who works at or supports the club. We must hope any issues are resolved quickly. I dread the thought of this guy walking away. Stabilty and Saints seem to have little in common except the letter 'S'

A tired display all round. This looked like typical end-of-season stuff when everyone is knackered and brain dead and fed up with being harassed by loud-mouthed know-alls in the coaching area, when all they are wanting to do is have a few lazy days getting up late with sod-all training to do and a nice warm sunny beach to lie on for a couple of months. A totally inept display that rather suggests that this squad has reached it's limits of imagination and performance. Our sudden inability to score also confirms that other teams have cracked us and we don't have any answers. Second season syndrome beginning to set in? If things aren't changed this summer we will struggle next season. We are nowhere near being the finished article.

The problem with that is what happens in the other 85 minutes as he wanders around looking for something to do. Lambert is always trying to find positions from which threats can be launched whilst Rodrigues will go after the ball and try to do something with it. Billy Sharp is great running in the channels and foxing the box but it means other people have to do extra work to set him up. This is one luxury our style of play doesn't suit or warrant. PL defences surely won't find it too difficult to read his game and stop him easily.

I sense people are getting a bit frustrated with Lallana on here. Full of promise but never seemingly quite able to deliver. I love the boy but he seems to have a tendency to flip into 'headless chicken' mode under pressure.

He's a greedy bugger isn't he, had he kept his cool and not tried to do everything on his own Wigan might have scored 4. Not the sort of player we want.

Remember those times very well. Pompey were much the better side then, won the Cup won the FL a couple of times whereas we never quite made it to the promised land and even languished for a spell in the old Div 3(S) - very much the underdogs so no real rivalry. Fratton Park looked good in those days with 50k inside and I remember the Busby babes down there with Duncan Edwards and all those lads playing good stuff and Blackpool with the twin Stan's but Pompey were a great side then and no pushover with Jim Dickinson and Jack Froggart... Nobody at the Dell or Fratton Park gave a stuff who you supported and replica kit wasn't even a germ of an idea then. We'd just been through a very nasty world war with foreigners so weren't quite ready to start domestic ones; everyone was on the same side except mods and rockers.

Anybody but Brighton I hope, couldn't stand that Poyot-idiot of a manger bigging himself up, presumably we would want Hammond back?

I hope he's not another Fox? Completely undermines Nat Clyne's position and confidence, just what he and we need going into two vital games... Nice one Tino! 9/10 for idiocy. Shall we all learn Spanish - "Hoof que fuera del campo, idiota!"

Cheap and poor and mind bogglingly insensitive. Hardly a joking matter for the families of the over 900 people that lost their lives. Try to keep a sense of decorum and decency even here on a football website.

Agree obviously. Wasn't he a second choice once Coutinho decide to go to Liverpool?

He does seem to be unsettled here, certainly doesn't give the impression that he really wants to be here. Weather too cold? Southampton just not glamorous enough? Lack of any sort of sophisticated night life? Wife / girlfriend hates the place as no decent shops etc? He's a young kid and may just be homesick, lonely and missing his mates and the lifestyle he once had. Only London has that appeal in England whereas Italy has a dozen cities with high culture great food and superb weather. Right now he's probably shivering in a thin Kagool at Staplewood trying to keep out of the rain... say no more!

Subtext: "But despite their (Saints) brilliant football, my Spurs were even better than that and won... what a really great manager I am!" Oh come on, what do you take us for?

Insight is not your strongest suit is it? I'd back Adam Lallana's opinion over yours any day of the week and probably on most things not just Rodriguez. This is the PL by the way of reminder since your fruit bowl appears to be jumbled up!

Speculative nonsense designed to make you all feel good. What matters is what takes place on the field on Sunday. The world is full of What-Ifs but facts are in the future and remain unpredictable except in hindsight. If we can't stay up by our own efforts then what's the point? What kind of team and fans settle for being less worse than their rivals?

So what exactly are you proposing that fans do to help out materially, brick up our goal against Stoke? I'm brave, very, very brave but how does that help Saints.

Nigel's getting things moving nicely at the Madjeski, great win today and if you're reading this Nigel... Nice One!

But relegation is decided on the pitch not in a bookies office so none of what you say matters a jot, if we don't get 3 more points were toast.

How long have you been supporting Saints?

or maybe two Argentians? Tevez, Aguero, Zabeleta? Not I hope Gutiérrez & Coloccini
