I hope anyone thinking there are currently 3 teams worse than us, are not using the the table as of today to make their point.
If you take SW out and insert the Skates you have 2 teams (Oxford and Norwich) who have recently given us the bum's rush and a 3rd who may well do the same to us on Sunday.
Like you I would love to think we are better than them if only "on paper"...BUT
Forget paper, the game is played on grass...and on grass we utter Gladys Knight. |

The ideas that the players performed to get Eckert the job and that Stephens wandered in to tell the Board what the players want, have the slight whiff of "never let the truth get in the way of a good story". From where I sit, SR don't listen to anyone, let alone Jack the Lad.
All that matters not. The club is in a dark place right now and the immediate outlook isn't very bright.
I can't see Solak going anywhere soon..why would he ?. He's not losing money on an operating basis. OK, it's a fair assumption the club is worth less than he paid for it but who cares ?.. it's an unrealised loss until he sells. His accountants will take care of that shit.
Depressed ?? ....Yep. |

A1079's post came from the heart and caught today's mood perfectly. I agree it should be published.
Being a Saints fan ,though, is like being in Hotel California....you might check out now and again but you can never leave. |

That poster's opinion on JWP's "engine" would be fun to read.
My guess is he likens it to a 1961 Triumph Herald with 235k on the clock. |

The Saganowski one is comedy gold.
As for being dodgy, forget it. I know plenty of Poles and they would all think that was hilarious. They also have plenty of jokes up their sleeve concerning English stereotypes.
Here's one we did in early 1968 that disappeared in a tsunami of tumbleweed after one rendition...(silver lining)
Hi ho Jimmy Melia
He's our midfield nonce, now baby
Look out boys he'll try to feel ya
Worst signing ever made by us
That's fu**ing obvious
Widely considered less funny than Melia himself...a low bar. |

Reply | Who Is Your Favourite Ever Southampton Keeper

For me, the word " favourite " in this question just means "which one was likely to be the most memorable to watch when entering the ground".
So my vote goes to Ron Reynolds from the early 60's.
Reliable enough on the basics...was our PFA rep and generally batshit crazy.
Played a part in a game I saw as a boy vs Leeds in the league cup. Today it would have been talked about as the game of the century for Saints.
Reynolds went off injured very early after planting his head on the Leeds CF's boot. Cliff Huxford went in goal (no subs) and let in 4 goals.
Step forward Derek Reeves who scored all 5 in a 5-4 win.
Reynolds was the first keeper to wear contact lenses and could regularly be found on all fours on the edge of his 6 yard box looking for one of them.
Under lights they rendered him effectively blind with the inevitable hilarious outcomes.
Yep.. fits the " favourite " tag for me. |

Big up to George Long ...never conceded in a Saints jersey.
Should get a 97th minute cameo tomorrow if only to bolster the meagre list of " played for Saints and Hull" |

Talking to an old Milton Rd pal last night who swears the following had some limited air time back when.
Down at the Dell when we score a goal
Chivers kicks the ball up the referee's hole
They call for the Doctor but he's stuck in Paris
And the ref is left with the ball up his 'arris
I told him he must have done some bad acid back then cos it's a new one on me.... |

Aye,
Did you ever see the Simpsons episode where Homer says to Bart " boy, you must never rely on hope alone. If you want something badly, do your homework, make your plan and work like a dog to achieve your ambitions. Now shut up , they're about to announce the lottery numbers."
I'm sure you, me and most others wish him all the luck in the world. |

One thing clear...back 4 an absolute requirement.
Selling Edwards probably a mistake. Need to replace in this window for sure.
Recruiting more than one CB in this window is not happening.
THB and Quarshie are the CB's...Stephens binned for good.
Just about got the FB cover to start binning Manning.
Downes game time can be reduced when Charles back.
Win next 3...game on
Lose to Skates plus one other with keeper errors and conceding from set pieces...put a fork in the whole set up..it's done.
Oh...we do need a goal scorer...4 goals in the last 6 league games...if maintained would mean 13 more in the last 20 games..not quite up to muster methinks. |

Article is by one George Rees-Julien.
Sounds like a bloke who should be the bridge correspondent for the Eton College in-house magazine.
I was going to suggest he go in a room with a revolver and a bottle of Glenmorangie and give himself an uppercut...then I looked at his profile picture and realised he is not yet of legal drinking age.
"whole new defence in the next two weeks"...come on George. .lighten up..at your age you've got at least another 55 years of this shit to go.
What about just one whole new goal scorer in the next 2 weeks...that wd be nice. |

Peretz is a complete and utter punt...a " swing hard in case you hit it" move.
The problem I have is that, as a mere fan, it brings me no expectation. It doesn't make me sit up and say "well that's one of our 3 key requirements in the window ticked off". It's more like slipping into a tepid bath and thinking it's" better than nothing"
Let's wish the lad well on Saturday...Of course if he doesn't start, this Forum will be compulsory reading later in the day. |

Wally Foot...the legendary one limbed net minder for The Heath pub in Dibden Purlieu.
Recently celebrated his 75th birthday on the pitch at half time during their 7-0 drubbing by the local RNIB Charity team. |

The JWP thing is getting a bit of traction in a few quarters,
Prodigal Son...Club Legend...Captain Fantastic...Romantic Return...all trotted out.
I saw the question asked" should we pounce on him ?"
I like the word "pounce" as much as the next man, but it would normally describe a wily fox leaping onto a tasty plump farmyard chicken.
So before" pouncing" SR need to decide is he a plump chicken or a 3 week old, half eaten, mouldy KFC chicken nugget. |

Trump always reminds me of Blutarski (played by John Belushi) in the movie Animal House.
Bluto delivers a motivational speech to his depressed flat mates as follows...
"Come on guys, it's not over...was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? Hell, no, and it ain't over now either "
One flat mate says to another "Germans??? "...the second flat mate says "leave him, he's on a roll !! " |
