Apologies - please show me anything to do with SFC that should give me cause for positivity.... anything..????

About 2 months ago - we have been pants all season and I see little evidence that things are going to change - we are already down...!!! I sincerely hope that I am give a chance to rue this post - but, right now, I doubt it.

Listen mate - after the pure cack that we have been most of this season even he could do a job for us...!!!

Ahhh so my idea of just giving him a good kick in the nuts is probably a non-starter then...!

What, you mean those 'wholly credible' sources...??? Lucky we don't just post rubbish that we hear from 'wholly incredible bad sources' - ain't it...!

The biggest game in our history will be when we win the Champions League. You, I and many others may not be around to see it - but others hopefully will. Watford at Vicaridge Road - errr just another game.

Sorry, what is this 'win' thing...????

Smokes fags and drinks gallons of beer then...???

Controversial to say the least..!!! Buy don't you just know that '...everybody has a soft spot for Bournemouth FC...' or words to that effect. It would seem not.

TDD is right - you're just looking for yet another cheap shot a Lowe...! (Call me a Lowe Luvvie all you like - couldn't give a toss tbh). Fairly obviously most fans on here have realised that the Dutch experiment has now failed miserably and are pretty hacked off with Total Football. Don't really want to judge anybody after 3 games, but after last nights fiasco - let's just say that it aint a great start. Which one do I want - I care not - I fear the end result would of (will) be the same no matter which one is here. See you all in League 1.

Thanks Tim - l like the card thing - just sent him one telling him he's on the Team Sheet for next week, so he had better get well soon. For those wanting to send cards I used the http://www.e-cards.com/ link and it was pretty simple to do from there, just send the card to patient@phs.org making sure you get Rons name is on the card somewhere, and they will do the rest - neat.

Thank you Once Bitterne & WE Saint..! After feeling pretty damned depressed for most of last night (not quite wrist slitting or bridge jumping time - but pretty close), I have to say that reading your posts has cheered me up no end this afternoon. It's good to see that amongst all of the shambles and chaos that is currently SFC, there are fans that are willing to pick up the peices and keep supporting. I too, have resigned myself to L1, but as you have pointed out - it's happened to clubs bigger and better than us - guess it's just time to deal with it. Many thanks.

Not so very long ago that would have been an hilarious statement, sadly though, today, I think you might be correct...

I think that all of those calling for a change of manager are probably weeing the wrong way and in danger of getting wet legs. I really can't see Lowe admitting that he has got two 'revolutionary' appointments wrong in a single season. We are going down - it is not the players fault - they were not and are not good enough, with the management that was charged to inspire them. The problem is not actually relegation - it's the fact that we will all have accepted it and believe (as we did at the start of this season) that there will then be new hope. We will believe that the manager and players will get us promoted back to the CCC. Alas, I fear with Lowe and this management - we may well leave league 1 next season - but it will be by the back door.

I think we are probably in real danger of becoming the laughing stock of the CCC - a bit like Derby did in the Prem last year. We are that bad.

Exactly - and just because he was a damn good player does not follow that he will be a good coach (deal with it). Not only that, he only has the players that are in front of him and if they are not very good - then no amount of coaching is going to make them great.

He'll be here, and no doubt we will be in the mire in that league too.

Exactly - time to abandon this total football crap and start to really go for games. I would much rather go down fighting than watch a team try and implement a plan that has little chance of working. Time to try and get a good lead in games - goals breed confidence, time to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. F u c k i t - if we are going to league one lets go cheering ffs.

If he wants to give credit to anybody - give the paying customers half of thier money back - they deserve it. They gave half a performance - yet charged full price. It has happened far too many times this season.

Saints won't go under - yes it could get worse - but I doubt that we will get to a position where they actually cease to exist. A thought that occurred to me was 'In a couple of years time, will we all look back at the last 5 or 6 years and be joking about it', al la Manchester City. They fell into the 3rd tier briefly, I wonder how their supporters felt at the time, but look at them now. Sadly though - I don't think that we are going to be so lucky and our fate could well be a lot worse than thiers. No Saints to support - f u c k i t - don't bother...!!!

New manager honeymoons are generally the first 3 game they play - after that it normally all goes downhill from there...!!! HTH

Corky the f u c k i n ' Clown could do a better job than this lot FFS...!!!

I think this probably sums up most fans feeling who fit into that over 45 category, as do I. Such a shame that we can't even stabilise ourselves in this league and at least give the fans some hope.

Sorry but not good enough any more - yes we have come back in a few matches recently, but lets be honest it is just that - a few. We should be sweating blood at SMS in front of the home supporters. Our home form is absolutely atrocious. Sorry - but we are obviously not fighting hard enough - because tonight we were at home, in front of our own fans, playing 10 men and we still blew it. OK the young lads have excuses, but as has been pointed out on here many times now this season - other teams are playing more, and younger players than ours and are getting results. We probably now have one foot in League 1 and unless the players start to roll up their sleeves and battle we will be relegation certainties.

Yeah the players were there - but it didn't make a lot of difference though...!!!
