Dominic is Captain of Saints under 18's, plays midfield. Parents still live in Bridport I believe but played his football for one of the Weymouth Youth teams before joining Saints. He has given a good interview on Saints Player last Friday in the post Man U build up for the under 18's. Seems a bright and intelligent young man.

When did you previously wash your hands in the Chapel John Boy? We have had cold water coming out of the hot tap for the last 3 seasons!

I guess NC fell into Saints FC because of Markus. We do not know if football has got to him like it did Markus as we do not know much about him. I do not think the Leibherr family are all that interested as NC always seems to be on his own at matches. On this basis, a sale is a distinct possibility but that may be 2 or 3 years away yet. In the meantime, in my view, a large part of the Project will be developing top class players via the Academy,as this comes out in inteviews very regularly. We are also spending a fortune at Staplewood for the now and the future.

A poor performamce by the ref. Why he did not give the Man City player a yellow card for diving on the edge of the penalty area at Chapel end bemuses me. He was only a few feet away too.

Best performamnce from a midfielder I have seen at SMS yesterday from Jack Cork. He did not stop running and his determination to win every ball was superb. MOTM for me.

It must be the best team performance I can remember at SMS since we beat Tottenham in the League and the Cup two Saturday's running. Everybody played superbly but I thought that Jack Cork was absolutely outstanding, One of the best performances from a Central Midfielder that I can recall.

and that is the crux of the whole business case for stadium expansion. If NC can sell 25K season tickets each year for 3/5 years at SMS, then we may be in business.

Agree-these people are not ITK although they like to think they are. I heard similar when I went around SMS after first year it was opened. I enjoyed the tour though.

NC knows that when the Football Fair Play Rules kick in fully, we shall have a much better chance of competing with the current top four in the premiership.

Nigel Quashie

0-1 to Saints with Ramirez nutmegging Rio just as Marians did to Stam all those years ago.

Trouble is, one cannot believe him. He said he would have a referendum on Europe in this Parliment before the last General Election. Said the same about a free vote in Parliament on Fox Hunting and culling badgers . How many U-turns to date--36 is it?

It is great listening to him--so knowledgeable. I can understnd now why Roy wanted him in the England set up.

How could you have someone at SMS who cannot read or write.

The fans reaction is because most fans are decent people too.

Cannot understand why anybody should get upset by being called an Argie as surely this is no different to me being called a Brit. I do not find this offensive in the least. Does anybody else?

Sorry to hear the news Nigel and good luck for the future. You have been a success at our club and brought us back to where I did not think I would see us again. I liked your style.

Shamefull.A black day in the history of Southampton Football Club. Mr C you have made us a laughing stock. Feel sorry for Nigel Adkins and feel sorry for the new bloke too. Can only hope the Argies do not invade the Faulklands again as we shall be looking for another manager too. NC has made a big, big decision and I only hope it does not take us down.

He s a strong player and that is what we wanted when he came on.

Why do these papers write such rubbish, when anybody with a modicum of intelligence would never believe it.

Maybe but I thought Rory Delap objected to that.

To have a manager who is a very good tactition that most do not understand and agree with others re Shaw and Puncheon.

Guly lacks quality as evidenced by those two awful corner kicks he took last night. We just cannot afford to give away potential scoring chances like that in the Premiership.

Tactically superb, Rickies header and Jason's little flick up before he volleyed were pure class.Great credit to our midfield and defence who never gave up.
