The Netherlands will be at SMS for the Newcastle and Norwich game COYR

Supporting Saints means taking time of work, flying over to the UK and standing in the Northam singing my heart out. Started supporting Saints at 16, after Strachan took over and we finished 8th and that amazing cup run (I know, I am glory hunter ), my mother would always watch the Final Score to see how Saints were doing and that got me involved, growing up in the Netherlands that was the only way we got to see the Saints. My granddad (RIP) and mother supported Saints all their life and have to keep the tradition going. Hope to move back to the UK next year and get a season ticket for the first time.

Nigel Pearson in some kind of way? His contract wasn't extended, though most fans wanted him to stay. Pleased that Cortese is supporting Nigel, but he and the players have to improve their performances! And like said before, we need to improve the backroom staff with new experienced coaches to assist Nigel and Crosby

I really want Nigel to succeed at the club, he has been one the best managers we have had in years and the football we played last season was the best I have seen us play (been a fan since 2002). However its obvious its not working this season, after a good start, and with the players we have we should be higher in the rankings. If the club decide to change manager this is the time, we aren't far of mid table and a new manager will need to get to know the squad and decide were he wants to strengthen the team, before the transfer market opens.

0-2 for the mighty Saints, first clean sheet of the season with goals from Lambert and Mayuka. COYR

The defence is weak, but I think our major problem is the positions all our players get in when we lose possession. When our opponents get the ball the players look lost and don't have a clue where to go or who to follow. What we need is an assistant for Nigel with Premier league experience, someone like Lee Carsley, Ledley King or some Italian coach (they usually know how to set up a team) to work with the players and assist the staff.

A leftback and a two decent centre backs! Bruno Martins Indi from Feyenoord would be a good shout, young strong CB who at 20 has already been capped for the Dutch national side, only problem could be that he signed a new 4 year contract in Februari, though Feyenoord do need money.

In Holland players from outside the EU don't need a work permit to sign for a club, where as in the UK the player has to be an exceptional talent or have played something like 75% of the last international games for his country. The problem they have in the Netherlands is that they cant give players a contract until they are 18, that's why clubs in the UK often buy 16/17 year old players from Eredivisie clubs (who to date have all failed to make it into the first team of there respected clubs (I might have missed one though), with Jordy Brouwer and Vincent van den Berg the best example of how wrong your career can go) Ajax nowadays get lots of their youth players from Denmark (Christian Eriksson, Viktor Fischer, Nicolai Boileson, Lucas Anderson)

This! Nigel might have made some mistakes this season, but so have the players and whoever decided to buy strikers and attacking midfielders instead of a leftback and CB's.

No, we need pictures of Hannah Minx! could someone post some? (I don't know how to post pictures )

Would like to see this line up tonight: --------------- Boruc* ------------ Clyne ---- Hooiveld ---- Seaborne ---- Reeves ----------- Cork ------- JWP ------------ De Ridder ------ Guly -------- Lee -------------- Mayuka ------------- Subs: Davis, Chaplow, Yoshida, Shaw, Lallana, Rodriquez, Chambers or Moore * Boruc to play to get more match fit, however depending on the ''bottle incident'', if the club decide to take action against Boruc then have Gazzaniga play.

And keep a clean sheet (though that might be a little to much to ask for, a win will be enough)

Nigel's team talk should be: Lose this one and you all will be having a bare knuckle boxing match with Jaidi after the match.

Good to hear the fans chanting Nigel's name, we are the best fans on the South Coast.

I see she also likes to spend time with her dog on days off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfQfhfLHlDg

What do people think our strongest line-up, subs bench and formation is? (when everyone's fit and in form) I would go with: 4-2-3-1 ------------ Boruc -------- Clyne --- Fonte --- Yoshida --- Fox ------- Schneiderlin --- Davis --- Puncheon ----- Ramirez ----- Lallana ----------- Lambert ---------- Subs: Gazzaniga, Hooiveld, Richardson, Cork, Rodriquez, Mayuka, Lee

Would love to see Pahars back here, however I think he might just be a little to inexperienced to manage in the PL. He would also have to come in mid-season and will have to get results almost instantly. Pahars joining the coaching set up and working under Adkins would be a good move, though I would rather have another coach to work with the defence and who is used to playing 4-3-3 join Adkins and Crosby.

Guardiola has been mentioned, so could it be Bert Van Marwijk?

I would like Nigel to stay as he has shown he can do the job and get us to play some good football. However something has to change and we have all known the defence is our weakness. Would like us to have a manager for a period of time instead of just a year or 3, like United, Arsenal and Everton.

What's Simon Clifford up to these days? He knows how to get a team play Brazilian style football...

Thought Gazza did well the games he played, strange decision to drop him (unless he is injured)

According to her Wikipedia page she is 21. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MissHannahMinx

After seeing all these negative posts and threads, lets look at the positives of this season so far. For me the positives are: Gazzaniga showing he is a good goalie at a young age. Lambert scoring and giving defenders a hard time in this league Ward-Prowse making the step up to the first team Puncheon showing great form and skill Clyne at right back Schneiderlin being a great PL midfielder.

Gazza MOTM for me, kept us in at times with some great saves. Schneiderlin, Puncheon and Rodriquez also had good a game, really missed Ramirez and Clyne today.

Would like to see all these hate preachers arrested, deported and refused entry to our country (like that weird Christian family from the US), but sadly our government hasn't got any backbone. Don't get me wrong, I am all for free speech, but to a certain extent and these people don't contribute anything to our society.
