Excellent stuff as always - much appreciated and enjoyed. Many thanks

It will always be Man Utd. for me - especially Keane and Ferguson. I dislike them with a vengeance.

I`m re-reading The Inquisitive Elf` by Eunice Close, first published in 1965 as part of Dean`s Little Poppit Series. It`s a tale of daring, danger but ultimate release and ends with a reminder of morality, much needed in the world we live in today. A classic of its time.

Just take it down.

WGS? Not that I care who the **** they get.

Agreed. There`s a word that seems out of place in football - commitment - but in my 82 years old naivete I would like to think that Ralph will show the commitment to the club that the club has showed to him over `difficult times.` Besides which I wonder if his application to join that posh golf club down Wimborne way has been approved yet. If it has, it could be a game changer.

Thanks for that - I don`t do Twitter though.

I wish he would just come out with it, say he`s flattered by the rumours but has no intention of leaving Southampton as he`s very happy here. (Maybe he already has?)

Really enjoyed that. Very many thanks.

Bugger!!!

I agree. That miss was of itself incredulous and deserves criticism. I think my main grumble on here is that it would be more acceptable to read constructive criticism than the personal abuse towards our players. But maybe each `struggling` team needs a scapegoat or two.

I don`t think he was laughing as such - just incredulous at his own ineptitude. Having said that I do not subscribe to the continual condemnation of Redmond - I still think that as `supporters` we should perhaps show less criticism and more encouragement. But maybe it`s just me.

Just started John le Carre`s last book - straight into it, the writing is superb as ever. He is missed already.

Perhaps we can now accept that Ralph knows more than we do and knows what he`s doing - time to support the team and stop the pointless moaning about individuals.

We`re running out of scapegoats - only Redmond left now.

Compulsive listening - excellent stuff. Thank you.

Agreed. Well said. Think the recruiting this window looks very bright and clever. We could do with Semmens being on a long contract.

I genuinely feel that the club is in good hands with the management team we have - there`s an air of competence and reality to them. I think we`re fortunate to have Martin, Toby and Ralph at the helm.

Given the transfer news this could be a much more positive event than first thought.

Hugely enjoyable. Welcome back and thank you.

Good luck to him. He did us well for a long period of time.

Hear hear !!!!!

Redmond obviously

I know the feeling.

This. Just leave well alone.
