More seriously - the outcome of the extra millions will be that we pay more for players and the players get paid more - but that does not actually make them better

They bought a lot of players from a mid-table team - so guess where they are!

Winchester City. I even have a hat and scarf

TBF you could only ever have seen him with a 30 ft telescope

Come back Charles Hughes - all is forgiven

If he honours his contract so should we. It would give us plenty of search time and perhaps even allow us to do a proper handover from RK to his successor.

You really don't get it do you? People make mountains out of molehills

This. Under-rated by a lot of fans but not his peers.

I think that he prefers concentrating on the job in hand.

Isn't it time to knock this thread on the head?

Thank God the decision isn't up to you

Targett was barged in the back in the area. It was a stonewall penalty. The ref gave it with no hesitation.

He was bought in a situation where we had to pay a premium to get him in that Hull did not have to sell. His fee in the modern world of the premier league is no big deal and I don't understand why people keep whinnicking on about it.

I watched live and yes he was as good you think. He and Long did not give their defence a minute's peace. But hey Ho - don't let that give any transparency to your anti-Davis blinkers. PS I agree that Romeu, Classie and VVD were also outstanding. Watford were poor but we did not let them be anything else.

He waves when he wants

The annoying thing is that when we play like we did tonight few of the teams above us are better than we are.

It is a bit of a myth that very good coaches have to have played at the highest level - Wenger?, Mourinho? MacMenemy? even Ferguson was hardly a top player. One problem with people who are outstanding is that they struggle to communicate to others things that come easily to them. Eddie Howe did not play at the top level but in my opinion is one of the best English coaches around at the moment.

Its not -but it should be

Isn't the point in Guan's post that we recruited players who would suit the "Southampton Way" but we are no longer playing that way.

Congratulations on creating the most complete non sequitur since the founding of this forum

Doesn't make it right though. All of those those examples are deeply unpleasant.

Yes it is. It is about attitude and respect for your manager and team mates. That is all part of togetherness.

He could give an 11/10 performance and Roger would still think that he was poor!

Ah! My question has already been answered

Does the journalist have control over the headline? Just asking. Perhaps one of our journo posters could tell us.
