Just watched most of first half.......... Burnley do everything that Saints don't do...........play with passion , heart, commitment, belief, team spirit, drive, enthusiasm and a will to win.............in fact its hard to believe Saints are playing in same league.............I see Derby are playing Man U tomorrow night............. wonder if they will roll over with their legs in the air like the sorry bunch of losers that play at SMS??.......will be interesting!!

Lol...... given the options of those clubs I doubt if he will be opting to come amywhere near Saints!!..........Why would he?......in fact........why would anyone??

Needed 7........expected NIL

The terminology ........."light years away" comes to mind with this thread

Frankly, the whole situation is dire beyond imagination..........I do not see that the bank will continue to support this scenario for much longer.........its not a popular move for a bank to force administration and in the case of a football club it does affect the whole community and thus is very sensitive, but when the situation becomes hopeless they will do so, and Saints are probably about 3 defeats away from that. Come end of January, unless a metamorphosis occurs and many points are won, I feel that day will come and the bitter bullet will be bitten............there seems no way of changing it on or off the field!!

The team has no spirit, ......they do their best against one of the world's top sides....but it lacks the passion, commitment, guile, determination and basic will to win that may other clubs in Championship or below would have shown today...........these guys are going through the motions and the club is in freefall.....stopped lettimg it bother me a long time ago, but nevertheless ....sad to watch it happening

Administration is the next big let down, but to be honest I've stopped letting it bother me,..................... the farce continues and most, like me, shrug their shoulders and get on with more important things in life!!

Saints 0 (and that bit is guaranteed with our powder puff strike force)...Man U 8..........at which point they will just play keep ball for as long as possible and make the whole thing seem what it is............a one sided farce showing how far Saints have slumped in 5 yrs

The whole thing is rotten and falling apart........I can't see anyone wothwhile wanting to join Saints.....with all the angst going on off the field........... poisoned chalice I would say.......... will struggle to bring anyone in of decent level of play

Ummmmmmmmmmmm no

No.........

they will wheel out some drivel about it being a base to turn things around......the new year being a fresh start .........when we all know whichever lackey says it, that in reality it will be just more weak lame pointless football under the present administration

Nil points I'm afraid..........the Reading result is the high point of the festive season.....not a prayer against these 3 teams

Transfer widow is irrelevant for Saints......new manager or not.......nobody wants to play for just a shambolic organisation......so Div 3 beckons........its inevitable.....there is no plan B!!

Fact is....... Southampton FC is a poisoned chalice within the football world...........nobody will want to play for such a disjointed shambolic regime......so its Div 3 with every chance of falling further .......just the way it is I'm afraid......sad but true, but when in perspective of life no big deal really!!

It is actually nor longer serious...........it has reached the level of total farce....... Farcical AGM with total discord....... Farcical performances on the field........ Farcical utterances from the management and the poor stooge they wheel out on the OS every week to say how good things are in the camp!........ Farce in that there is nobody in the game that would want to manage this shower of losers.........or work for a board that is in total upheaval...... Farce that the bank keep supporting the club as gates dwindle and hope goes out with the tide... Maybe the ManU cup game has staved off the day of administration, but it is coming soon........... Sooner the better.............it literally cannot be worse than the farce that portrays itself as Southampton Football Club today!!..............Happy 2009!!

Who is miserable?........just realists...this shower have no hope, no passion, no fight, no guts and the club behind the scenes is in total turmoil..........frankly I'm just viewing from afar and waiting for the next debacle on and off the field.......its a joke and should be treated as such.........that way everyone stays cheerful!!........no point in letting it get you down!!..........lol

He is a decent guy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time and is on a one way ticket back to the Netherlands............its a shame but it would take a miracle worker to get results with Saints useless bunch of non performers

Every team that has an ounce of drive, commitment and will to win is too good for Saints munch of hapless no hopers!!

The guy is quite simply the most shockingly poor player to play for Saints for decades......he encompasses all the problems Saints have in one body! Useless, disinterested, and lazy..........and YET the OS have him spouting off about how great things are!!.........the joke is now complete..........watch the club implode!

My prediction was almost right!!....they scored and extra goal......but surprisingly Saints jettisoned the pretty pointless football for pure dross football........perhaps this is a new policy!! However, its so predictable and there is simply no light........ no leadership, .........no clue,...........no will to win........... just a "pay me my wages and let me go home" attitude with two fingers to the fools who pay hard earned cash in the current economic scenario..........let the whole thing slump into administration........ at least the outcome CANNOT be any worse than this crop of total wasters...........there actually MIGHT end up with one or two individuals who have a vague idea how to run a football club in charge!!

Saints 0.........plenty of pretty football..........Forest 1.........no pretty football but late winner followed by the sadly monotonous wailing and gnashing of teeth......... Oh.... and the Forest manager saying Saints play the best football in the league!! lol

I would expect max of 3 or 4 points from that list......... sadly!!

No............

Can't afford him...... wouldn't want him..end of
