French Connection

Has it ever occurred to the more dense amongst you that Noah read this board and if he reported back the rude and insulting comments made about Kat could have had an adverse feeling for the Club that her Dad loved , it has been quite unpleasant on occasions and I'm sure not all of you are beautiful or perfect so have a bit of respect and class , I have supported this club since 1947 so have been through most situations with it but this is just plain nasty and not our profile at all .

Some of the businesses near the stadium do parking for £10 which for older supporters is helpful .

JWP has always been most loyal to the Club , that counted once , I remember a quote from him many moon's ago when he said his dream was one day to Captain Saints , you don't get many to the pound like that nowadays , please stop knocking him he is one of our own , a phrase much lauded at another club doing rather better than ours !

Bednerak is a kid in defenders terms , he is playing in the premier league as a beginner , learning his trade , called up for his country in the World Cup and his team is woeful , shall we all give him a chance to improve or shall we agree with the jaded old has been doing the commentary ?

He put in a shift yesterday , and felt the loss badly by his reaction , he lives near the Chelsea training ground , was on their books , so why would he not have a word with friends afterwards because he plays for us , pretty odd if he didn't . He has an unusual demeanour , but so do a lot of our supporters!

Promised premier league football , playing for his mentor in a new country , club in meltdown , sliding down the greasy pole , mentor sacked , give him a chance I think with good coaching he could be a fine player , I have watched him play in the flesh and I won't write him off , not a great position for the lad to be in is it ?

The last person we would need is Brendan Rodgers ! He plays in a league with no competition and falls apart when playing anyone of note , and Liverpool , who did he have playing for him ? And never forget his comments about our Club , I won't and neither should you .

I so hope it won't be Hughes , the players need a lift and some respect for the person coming in and I have never liked him , his tactics or his game , and I can't see that they will suddenly galvanize for him, he is a bad fit for us both in the short and long term , please no .

Sorry if I missed the big announcement of our new replacements for Black , who is the small hairy person next to the manager and an even smaller person who was in evidence at the last home match talking to the manager during the game . Watson and Kelvin I recognise of course but who are the others ?

There are seeds of a good player there , support him and he will get better quite quickly , love not negativity will do it just watch .

Whatever happens between now and the end of the season , this is our club and our team , our family have supported since the beginning as an old Southampton family with close ties to the club over the generations , now just season ticket holders who go to games with a great love for our club and our boys and although the levels of disappointment we have felt over the last year or so has been enormous , nothing we can do will change the situation we find ourselves in but full support for the players on the pitch who are the only ones who can make a difference to our results is vital , so please feel negative about the owners , board and manager but stay with the team to the end and then regroup and face a happier future or let your bile rip if it will make you feel better .

My son sacked him after 1 st league game and every other game has proved him right .... how could the club stick their fingers in their ears , sing lalalalala and let this state of affairs happen , so very sad for all concerned .

I get the impression that if there was a Club cat it would have great trouble dragging a small mouse through a large cat flap .

I thought he showed power and awareness of where he should be on the pitch and I have hopes that he will rub a few glasses half full noses in it . I wish him well and I hope you all do as well .

Are you sure you were at the game ? Pied in my opinion had a very good game , brave and ran his socks off , like Cedric ", my sort of players .

' We stumble on ' perhaps a little more accurate !

Much better to ignore him , big ego , nil response far more effective . He doesn't matter anymore to us , yesterday's man get behind the ones still here , some of them do care and are trying against the odds .

I love the snippets and suspense ! Please keep them coming , it brightens up this newly *****y website with hair straighteners at dawn.

I can't see our players working for some has been English manager or a younger one coming up through the ranks . They need to be in awe of a name and wanting to show they are the next big thing . Names that have been mentioned are not us or the Southampton way and the very thought of ghashers Rodgers is horrific .

Have you got your calendar yet ? Guess who is our February star ? Ye gods .........

So who is the football genius at the top to sack Reed ? We have too few football men in positions of power , only the blind leading the blind from the owner down to the pitch , such a bad situation which will be very difficult to resolve .

Sadly all that will lift the players and the fans is a so called 'sexy' new manager which as we stand will be next to impossible to attract , I am very sad to say that I think with the ownership , board and our uncertain financial position we are facing a bleak season and possible future . I am usually an upbeat fan who can find some good and rays of sunshine to hold on to during the season but even that is evading me at the moment and I can't see our way out of our predicament , really wish I could .

What is this love in with Rodgers ? He really isn't very good , think back who made him look good , Celtic has been a doddle with no opposition to speak of and I personally would hate to have him here , so please Les not even in desperation give him a moments thought .

When Morgan was with us he was so proud to be called up for France and was not unhappy at Saints , the rush of all our young stars to find pastures ( and riches ) new seems to stem from the exit of Cortese and Poch , I have always wondered what scare stories they were told , and have they now come true because of the loss of the players we felt attachment to when we had an identity ?

I do not understand the love in with Austin , even if he was not injured I would not play him if anyone else was available , he is well past his sell by date with too many distractions outside the game . Time to say thank you and good - bye I feel .
