In my opinion the new broom has acted in a totally professional and competant manner. in everything they have done to date It just shows what a lot of rubbish we have been fed over the last few years by the past incumbants. I am REALLY enjoying this season and if we get to the play offs or Wembley in any other way it will be a FANTASTIC season!

All true the above statements but it is very strange that we cannot keep a clean sheet. Will Bartman assist in this as he does attempt to dominate his area more than Kelvin does..great shot stopper that he is?

Papa HE IS SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition sydney saint - do you think a form of tv technology would assist?

They are decreasing at grassroots level because people do not want to do it as at the supposed top of the game Ferguson sets the example he does.......a BAD one and then is not punished by The Football league who are just happy to roll over and let the money flow in!

What should happen is a little more respect for Ref's....yes I shout at them in the heat of the moment at games (not swearing as my son is with me!) but players and managers alike treat them with total venom. A prime example being Ferguson who I see has been let off lightly again!!!!! In Rugby Union players respect or shut up about decisions - what meassage are we portraying to our kids when the Manager of your team can use disgraceful language and berate and stamp their feet like petulant boys when they disagree with a decision. Do we ever hear Ferguson say no it was my team not playing very well........everytime he accuses this and that of cheating , when really he should be looking in his own backyard.....how many penalties are awarded against teams like Man U etc. The Football Authorities are incompetent and the way the Premiership is run as a club for the in crowd is a disgrace! I think half the enjoyment of playing League 1 (albeit that we are winning which is FANTASTIC) is that you come up against genuine teams and grounds where you can enjoy yourself! Sorry rant over!!!!!

Alpine Thomas is needed as cover for centre back or right back position - the others mentoned..........good-bye!

The worst thing about administration is that a certain element of the fan base will accept any sh*t served up with snail-paced progress because at least they've got a game to go to. I for one was always confident the club would be saved. But this lack of progress is a living death, a coma for the club anyway. quote from Alpine!!!

True....but this is a new era! We must all get used to being happy Saints fans with things to look forward to! lol

Ever the optimist alpine!

Fantastic signing! AP is doing a great job!

Is saga in squad as he is not listed on official site?

No Saga in listed squad for Charlton Game!

Lordswoodsaints what do you suggest we do ........as obviously you have the knowledge to get us out of this precarious situation!!! some fans on here need to grow up and grow up quick. We will be fine and I am pleased with everything the club is doing at the moment.Wins will come hopefully soon!

Great read & I love the quote from myself ......now waiting for my royalties!

2-2 a reasonable start Lallana & Mills for us

and further to this you misquoted the Echo anyway - 'Alan Pardew desperate to make signings for Southampton' which is somewhat different to yours 'Pardew is desperate already' which is even more contentious (look it up Kp) than the Echos!!!!

No only to you Kpturner........I am human and therefore missed the link...obviously you are not human maybe subhuman or even possibly a skate!!! Sorry but your last post was somewhat rude so go .....

Will be there and if we don't win ........AP out!

The above is total rubbish and please can we change the title of this post as AP is not desperate but doing his job in a professional manner. Something we are not used to if you think about it!

I am going home to Portugal!

Chris spoke the other day of his love of Saints and unfinished business.....I wonder?

No!

That is so harsh...a pet is for life you know!

Absolutely but done by a St bernards dog with 11 women in damp t shirts!
