I do recall a story that a Saints supporter was convinced we would reach the final after the 3rd round that he booked a hotel room in Cardiff. Now thats dumb crazy or just pure class.

Tony Adams will no doubt be the bookies favorite somehow, just like he was for Saints. He will talk himself yet again. I would say that Morinho (However its spelt) I've a feeling he would want the job too as he has unfinished business in England. IMHO I think Capello is going to finally deliver us the world cup if he can sort out a keeper and another striker with Rooney.

Does anyone feel after reading that book that Southampton Football Club is just a bunch of ****heads? I remember so many of those games that I attended where the team put in such lame performances. I really think it came down to the best manager who went out his way to stop this crazy drinking and the performances reflected that, WGS.... hard work and honesty which brings me to the current team, Do I trust them to really care anymore? Also how much of that book was written by Hiley and it cones across as 75% him and Le Tiss just added his own personal comments IMHO of course.

Yep it's a glorious morning as I'm out with the dogs at Colbury listening to Shakin Stevens on the Ipod ;-)

I had it when we beat everton in the great escape, I had it in the quarter final versus Wolves 2003, and the 3-0 at the dell versus the skates (Magilton2) I also had it when we beat charlton 1-0 for our first St Marys victory and now I have it again. I'm talking victory...! I'm so convinced that I have put a beer in the fridge :-) what about you, have you had a feeling that Saints was going to deliver for once? Stockport 1 Saints 3 Lambert, Lallana and Thomas.

Too much hype me thinks... Loads more talent in the premiership other than Theo and I feel he is not delivering so much these days as defenders have sussed him out more.

You two should get a room. ;-)

Thanks for the advice, However the thought of losing to him fullstop will hurt me too much so I will go for it first game and see what happens out of that before I add a weaker team for the return game.

Help needed please. I have marsielle in the cup and league which is managed by my good mate. Do I put out a weak team to kick lumps out of his team and then roll him over in the league or do i try to win both games and hope the fitness holds up? comments?

Yesss at last Kelvin Davis is leaving! ;-)

Mickey Mouse league! The real fun is division 2 ;-)

Please don't add it as many of us are waiting for a copy, Maybe PM it?

He would say 'Smoke a Butlers'

A better idea me thinks. What would Kelvin Davis think if the stands was named after ex players and that he stayed on with us till he was 40 before becomming our manager for the next 20 years. Any room for him? IMHO we will have another legend at our club within the next decade so lets honour them another way?

Probably Ronaldo or Rooney? ;-) Our club is not about one man so I guess Lbert does what he does best and score us loads of goals, hopefully one day he will get a good striker alongside him.

I'm a believer in giving people a chance but Im becomming worried that the method AP gets his message across to the players in training is not helping them at all. At first I thought YESSss shove a rocket up there arses AP but on 2nd thoughts these players need serious confidence help not screaming like I witnessed non stop when I attended his first one.

This really is a must win game otherwise the depression will sink in with us 10 points adrift again... (DING) 'My dinner is ready byeeeee'

Oh good, You're a ***t....... ;-)

Been looking at Swindons recent performances and all our away games since the friendlies and it really does point to a Swindon victory, However after looking at the squads we come out 7 nil winners. Bizarre or wot?

Don't understand why we don't put saga & Gobern in midfield as they would run a whole 45 minutes to close down which then would leave the creators to spray the ball across the park.

Well said Dubai.... I reckon there is only one football man in that club and that's AP. I'm not surprised he wants a sporting director in to organise the team spy network and talent spotting network. I bet AP has other duties he is having to sort out as cortese is clearly learning the trade.

Well said and very true! I remember those that used to rip into Matt Oakley and how he never offered us anything. It's amazing how we miss a decent passing midfielder since he left. I let the manager judge how a player is, If the team are crap then the buck stops with him.

Talking of Le Tiss, I was watching sky sports yesterday when I heard a groan from the side of Jeff Stelling, I said to my girlfriend I hate that big nosed ***** (thinking it was Phil Thompson) then the camera went to Le Tiss. My lady said ' Yes he does look abit of a ****** with a big hooter' I was so embaressed to tell her that this so called big nosed ****** is my all time hero. Forgive me :-(

People talk about getting new players in but what I wanna know is why is the current lot crap? Compare them on paper to anything in this division and we are streets ahead. Davis - The very best in this league Harding - Experienced left back Murty - A top championship player with Reading Perry - seen it and done it in all levels Thomas - was a star championship centre back 3 years back Morgan - First came looking the dogs******s James - Welsh u21 player Thompson - Was putting in star performances for Bournemouth last season Gillet - A tough Blackpool midfielder two years ago Rasiak - A very proven striker Saga - Champions league striker recently Lambert - The best striker in this division Wotton - Was a star Plymouth player only 3 years ago I really find it sad that we are looking for even more players when we can't fix the current squad.

The problem we have is attracting championship players, With the start we've had the task has got so much harder.
