buctootim Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 There's no doubt that Lowe is an arrogant, conceited individual unable to take any form of criticism, with delusions of granduer and an inflated idea of his own self worth.... I can see why Steve hates him so much, they always say people who are far too similar never get on. I haven't a shadow of doubt that if, instead of telling him to "shut up", Lowe had in fact pandered to Godwin's ego and given him the 'tea boy on the board' position he so desperatly wanted/wants to gain through his ill fated forrays into the 'True Saints' (LOL) and Saints Trust then Mr Godwin would now be such a staunch 'Lowe Luvvie' that even Scooby would pale in comparison. Instead we have what FC correctly identified, a carefully calculated PR war where Um never wastes a single post. If only Lowe had employed PR plants as thorough as you eh Steve? I'll be awaiting my ultra-patronisng and condescending reply and if he doesn't use at least 23 smiley's I will be feeling short changed.

If you're back to stalking me, then me old mucker Tim will be upset. He much prefers you as his pet (I've got Frank you see). I think you can only do ten smilies (and i'll let Tim give you those) LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um pahars Posted 18 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 February, 2009 Think someone has mentioned that Monk was bought from Torquay so dont think he came through our acadamy so looks like Cranie and Mills in the middle. You're right. We signed him at 18 and he had already played 5 times for Torquay, so probably not fair to include him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again more patronising and condesending! From what I've read he more than holds his own against you! So is it true that you changed career from a painfully average accountant to a painfuly average school teacher in order to try and boost the massive Godwin ego by engendering some hero worship amongst the impressional youth of Southampton? Sadly I'm sure the talk around the back of the bike sheds is that Mr Godwin is a complete and utter cu...... Are you sure you and Roops aren't related? I can just imagine him bellowing 'Behave yourself you fool" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Tel49 Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 Replace Monk with Mills and McDonald with Best and you have a decent team! Don't agree with that. McDonald has been scoring regularly for Celtic even against top continental teams. Best only scores sporadically for Coventry. SPL is as good as CCC.

St_Tel49 Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 I've got Oakley, but you're quite right with Phillips. Not sure we can include Wise (unless of course you're putting him forward as manager). It's getting a bit stronger now and maybe it could hold it's own in the top flight: -------------------Flahavan------------------- Cranie---------Monk----Baird--------------Bale Walcott------Oakley-------Howard-------Bridge ------------McDonald-----Phillips---------- Still think we need another keeper (definitely weak), centre half (neither really Prem standard) and maybe centre mid (although Oaks did the business and Howard was being tapped up). There's definitely some talent in there though. Flowers? - Edit - just realised that he predated the era you are interested in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 Tim really will be upset, I just hope he doesn't see this thread (quick, Mods delete it) LOL. Timmy Mumford does seem to get upset far too easily tho Steve! I fear the awful truth maybe that he is my rather faithfull but dopey pet. He never fails to bite at a single insult to the good old U S of A and sometimes gets so upset if I say something negative that he feels it necessary to send me several hundred word PMs detailing his life and what his ex wife does for a living! More information that I could ever possibly want to know! Fetch Timmy! Fetch!! You too make a good pair. I bet it's a riot when you two hit the town.

um pahars Posted 18 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 February, 2009 Flowers? Came through Wolves Youth Set Up (although I don't think he made a first team appearance), so can't really include him (PS plus as you've just said, he isn't playing anymore). We haven't been that good on keepers, although it's not really a position a player can grow into as you're straight in at the deep end, so imagine that's why we probably just bought them all in. The ones I can think of Granger, Poke etc only ever stepped in as an emergency on the odd occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I can think of Granger, Poke etc only ever stepped in as an emergency on the odd occasion. Blayney came through our ranks but hasnt gone onto set the world alight elsewhere although was tipped for international recognition for a while. Poke is probably the one that our club has hoped would make the step up from our acadamy and although being loaned out allot there has never been talk about letting him go. So I guess the club see his future with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 (edited) I was wondering the other day if we can make a team of reasonably big name signings (albeit well past their best) who played fewer than ten league matches for us. I thought of Sammy Lee, Petrescu, Chris Woods, Kanchelskis, Peter Reid and Kerry Dixon. Can we make eleven without scraping the barrel any lower? Perry Groves and David Howells.

sidthesquid Posted 19 February, 2009 Share Posted 19 February, 2009 Dennis Wise, Agostin Delgado, John Beresford, Barry Venison, Mark Walters, Uwe Rosler, Stuart Gray to name but a few For a while it was like an elephants' graveyard at Southampton as all these big-name players came to die (career-wise, at least) as we signed them up just as their knees gave way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
