YOU sound sh1t.

Indeed, brought the Missus alarm clock in to use, traditional radio's are difficult to come by in mi casa...

Radio Solent has it on 96.1...

Could not agree more. We need to collate all the sensible, rational posts and put them in one thread for people to refer to.

What is ironic about it? He was praising fans for going. That's not irony.

Big hand all round. Fair play mate, you've summed it up B-E-A-Utifully.

I haven't stopped going, and never will. those that have are not proper fans. Proper fans go to games and support the team. End of. You can sit there and puff out your chests, cross your arms and shake your head like toddlers, and you can use all the arguments in the book, but if you don't go because of Lowe, personally (and you probably won't care),I look down on you. It's like trying to take something seriously from someone like Rbert Kilroy Silk. They sat it authoritatively, but you still smile, shake your head and take no notice.

I'm not just throwing insults around. Not really insulting either, I know it, he knows it.

You just don't get it do you? We go into administration Lowe buys the club for nothing and owns 100%. Long term good of the club. Yeh right.

I don't support Lowe. In fact, I want him and Wilde out I just fail to see the alternatives.

Then if I choose to call you a **** supporter that's my business.

Alright man, it just really is killing me now. It is a situation that is past blame, and all we need to do is get behind the team. I used to think SF was bad but this forum is a different kettle of fish.

I think people have misunderstood my point. I’m not saying everyone who opposes Lowe is a a bad supporter. However, I believe that those who decided not to renew this year because of Lowe and are purposefully hurting the club to remove him are way out of line, and I feel I have the right to call them bad fans because of this. If we no longer have a club to support no amount of ‘I told you so’s. Get in. smily face cartoon etc’ will be good enough, which is what I feel they are doing. I’m not saying that Wilde isn’t to blame, in fact he is more to blame in my eyes than anyone else. However, I see him as a non-entity now, he is in a job where he does nothing, and will be disposed of at some point. The problem I have with Crouch is he continued to spend unwisely, and increased the wages to an unsustainable level. As far as I can see he doesn’t have the financial savvy and has made some big mistakes with that as well. And to be fair, if you like being the underdog, then there is no better time than the present. To those of you who oppose Lowe and still go I say fairplay, but I am finding it so damn difficult coming on here and reading crap from people who don’t even bother going to the matches. Frustrates the living hell out of me.

When I said meatheads I meant the ones that stay away due to Lowe...

Slow hand clap for you, you've succesfully managed to win that discussion with your well put, well thought out, accurate and downright damning argument. Does anyone else on this board read posts from all these anyone but Lowe posters, and just shake their head in disbelief at the pureile, inconsistent and factually incorrect clap trap they spout. Personally, I don't want Lowe here but ****ing hell guys, this is a joke. People are entitled to their own opinions but only if the opinions are led by fact, otherwise you just make yourself look stupid.

Lowe didn't solely get us relegated, let's dispell that myth. There are many reasons we got relegated, the 3 managers (Lowe's fault) was one as well as poor player acquisitions for the previous 2 seasons. Maybe it was the fact that it was just our time (look at Charlton, they spent £14m and then got relegated the same season)... Little money? They spent £7m, without even looking at wages. That's not little money and that is what we're currently paying for. Using an inexperienced manager (thank god Pearson's been a manager for the last 15 years) What mistakes is Lowe making now that he made before? Trying a little bit of spin to try to win over the meat heads who can't tell their @rse from their elbow and continue to hurt the club by using the fact that he's back to make them feel less guilty about being **** fans. It's pathetic. You support the club, not the board.

Smily faces. You're a ****ing ***** mate. Are you one of those who wanted us to lose at the weekend. I think it is unbelieveable that we have people in the fanbase who take joy at this because of Rupert Lowe. How can you hold that much against someone, when (and you can't deny this because if you do the whole, he's trying to save his money etc argument doesn't work) he is trying his best to save the club from administration, which would be, without doubt an unmitigated disaster (trust me).

This is a ridiculous thread, you can see that people who dislike Lowe are making things up. The agenda's on here is utterly ridiculous. Personally, I'm somewhere in the middle of the debate, but I am getting pushed more and more towards the like Lowe 'faction' because the Lowe haters talk absolute bull. It's ridiculous. I know 2 Leicester fans, and they are non-plussed about Pearson. The football is sh!t (as expected with Pearson), but they're grinding out results. If they start to lose a couple there will be calls for Pearsons head.

Personally, I see a lot of people saying that they 'can't be bothered' to go down to protest, but I honestly feel that there aren't enough to make a decent stand. If someone can actually quantify the amount of people who aren't going every week solely because of Lowe (circa 500 imo), then perhaps if it is nearer the 10000 that people think it is something can be done. I think everyone just likes to sit behind a desk and complain, but don't actually believe what they say, instead they just decide to regurgitate what the more 'expressive' people on this forum say to align themselves under someone who has sway.

I think it's a case of most educated fans realise that nothing much will change with or without him, so what's the point when you can use the game to get behind the team.

Yep, **** them all. I'm going. UTS!!!

Do you know what, when we beat Preston a couple of weeks ago we were pretty much in the same position. But that didn't stop me jumping around the room punching the air (when Le Tissier was looking at the score on Sky Sports and not concentrating on the game) when I saw Mcgoldrick had scored. And do you know what, if you can't get excited by this type of thing, and if you couldn't get excited if Saints won tomorrow, then you are no fan of my club, and as such should not post on this board. Pathetic. UTS!!!

I have to agree, that's why I don't post anymore, people are so set in their own agenda's to find blame in what has happened to us, and will not listen to anyone else. When it used to be Saints Forever and even TSF it was better, but now this place is a graveyard for the most over the top down beat posters Southampton (or Austria) has. It's a shame.

And we won so many games under Pearson? What is your point? Are you saying that you don't think that he has made any decent signings then, and that all the signings we've made over the past 3 years have been better? Because if you are you are a) a liar, and b) an idiot. Last post of the day...

If we hadn't had so many injuries to key players like Schneiderlin, or Holmes, then yes, I don't believe we'd be in the bottom 3, or even the bottom 4, which is where the 'mercurial' Nigel Pearson got us to...
