Big Bad Bob

I do, I remember Beattie coming back a defending quite a bit. He was also very good at defending from the front too....Pub player he may have been but he did do his part.

Maybe JP is trying to change the system, it's just the players can't understand it when directed from the touchline. Maybe that's why we seem a different team in the second half because the Chalkboard tlks the talk??

when will we sign Benson and Hedges FFS.

Yep, someone who could make losing bearable..

Thought I'd post these as got reminded about them on the Tin Man thread. We should make it a caveat that all our managers are as dry as WGS was.. Southampton manager Gordon Strachan on Wayne Rooney : " Its an incredible rise to stardom, but at 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson" Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad? Strachan: I dont care, I'm Scottish Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?" Strachan: "Velocity" [walks off] Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around? Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, "No, I think they should have got George Graham because I'm useless." Reporter: Is that your best start to a season? Strachan: Well I've still got a job so it's far better than the Coventry one, that's for sure. Reporter: Are you getting where you want to be with this team? Strachan: We're not doing bad. What do you expect us to be like? We were eighth in the league last year, in the cup final and we got into Europe. I don't know where you expect me to get to. Do you expect us to win the Champions League? On Augustine Delgado: Strachan: I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado. Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you'll be happy to get your first win under your belt, won't you? Strachan: You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you're spot on there. Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it? Strachan: No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah. Reporter: where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up? Strachan: Not telling you! It's a secret. Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon? Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either. Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today? Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there.

I've just been reminded of this quote from WGS about the TinMan

Can't they have a 'default' value of 'Yes we want to delist' for a resolution to delist. So that the people who def don't want to delist HAVE to vote!! But if it's only going to save us money is 2/3 years time then is it worth doing it now??

I think you'll find most of the arguments here

If you've read any of JS' posts over the last couple of days you'll notice how ironic he's being. Because he sits on one side of the fence he's just clumping all the posts that oppose his view together and putting them into one contraire viewpoint to get his point over

You really have let this forum get to you haven't you??

I'm sorry, but at the mo, KD is priceless, we should do everything to not sell him..

I think he was being ironic!!

I think it's more important that we have a sticky about :- o The proper use of punctuation o double negatives o Their, there and they're o it's and its o parasite or paracite? These are all very important issues that could drag this forum down!!

Nice thought, but other teams are going to have to want them first.

What is this 'football' you talk of, I have not heard of it before..

Why are they sending them out, with the money they can save by not sending them out we could afford the wages of [insert favoured striker here]

Youe office overlook the training ground now does it??

Personally I can't believe that it won't be capped

Trouble is Throbs, I think it's a bit limp

May I suggest you wait until players are sold before you start dripping into your negativity about whayt players might be sold. FFS we might, finally, offload Rasiak, Saga, Stern and Dyer to not only drop our wage bill but to get some other funds in to. We won't then have to offload the kids that you've been whinging about for the past 6 months. And whilst you suggest someone stuffs his head up his arse, may I, respectfulyl suggest, you get yours out of yours :smt002

You should have read to the end of the Echo article

25% of any fee! Feck me, surely that can be disputed... this quote made me laugh, esp considering ****flaps disdain of our youngsters when he was here..

Have you been down the pub drinking again MB, and so early in the day too tut tut

1965Onwards and Derry for the new Saints management team. After all they know it all!!

Right, we delist, the same people hold the same amount of shares, just now (for some reason) they are worth less! Now there's no transparency, no accounts need to be published, no-one telling us how much wages people earnt etc. etc. etc. Who would that please the most? Fans? I think not!
