Toomer

Not so!

The manager, players and coaching staff need to have a good long hard look at themselves over the next 48 hours or so, you owe the fans a performance after last night nothing less than a win by a two or three goal margin will be exceptable against a very poor Villa side.

Mike (Jim ) had a fantastic send off today with what must have been over 500 people in attendance, it was nice to see a lot of old faces from back in the day shame about the circumstances. Nick Illingsworth gave a good eulogy which brought a few smiles on a sad occasion, tonight's result was not what you ordered Jim. R.I.P Jim.

Been home 15 minutes tonight was the first time in over 50 years supporting Saints I have left early, when the 5th went in. I posted after the City game I was starting to get concerned about Koeman's tactics and tonight did nothing to change my mind . He has got two days to sort that shambolic performance out and get them right and ready for the Villa game.

I thought that was common knowledge Duncan but it would seem others think otherwise.

Starting to get a little concerned with some of Koeman's team selections and tactics at times.

I was there the day the sub got subbed and I still see the odd shirt with his name on.

Every time Bennett opened his mouth my mate would say O do shut up, I know Mike Osman could be a bit cringe worthy at times but if you cut him he would bleed red and white.

He might get a bit more game time from the bench at City with Pelle being out.

In the Chapel there was just the usual bag checks and there was a tennage female steward with a scanner just stood there doing nothing with it.

Three sat in front of us upped and left on 80 minutes as they do every game.

City away next weekend.

Quality of the passing was poor it was a lazy pass by Tadic that started the build up to Stokes goal , the crossing into the box was pretty poor as well. Overall it was a frustrating afternoon and if we were out there till midnight I don't think we would have scored.

Will be interesting at the Liverpool game as I know that the club has sold a box to a load of local Liverpool fans.

Does anyone know if the funeral arrangements have been announced yet as I am sure there are a good number of people who would like to go and pay their respects.

Agree with this 100% a minute's silence would be a much better way to mark the sad and tragic loss of life.

I was just about to say it would be the translation.

RIP Mike, when ever I saw him he was always good company.

A news agent in Eastleigh who is a Liverpool supporter told me this morning when I called into pick up a paper that he has got a box along with a load of other Liverpool supporters.

And one of them took the charity box with them as well.

Not that fussed about the early leavers but if they are going, go don't stand at the top of the stairs so that the people who stay till the end can't see and some of them give it large when they are shouted at to get out the way.

The one thing that winds me up is when their arrogant fans start singing you know what we are champions of England ect, in the hope they win nothing this season I think it would be great if every clubs fans sang we know what you are champions of feck all when they play them.

I have a six month old grandson, son and daughter in law live in Ringwood you know what the grandson is getting from me for his first Christmas, get him early before he can be influenced by anyone else, once a Saint always a Saint.

Only watched the high lights on match of the day and from what I saw we should have at least three. From the Sunderland kick off at the start of the game ball passed back to midfield and then hoooooooooooooof and that was all they did for most of the game from what I saw.
