 | News Comment | Southampton Announce Appeal Fails at 11:11:12
The true implications and fall out will become clear when we look at the Championship table come Christmas next season. In the mean time, SFC should start doing the decent thing and sack everyone responsible for gross misconduct as soon as possible. |

The final is a £ 200 M game. Boro should have been out of sight in the first half at the Riverside. But....they weren't. Expect this to get nasty. The bottom line is we were caught and there have to be consequences. Let us forget the crocodile tears and the murdered innocence complexes. This is now all down to hard cash....as always in football |

If Bazuno had not made that wonder save, can we honestly say we would have come back from it? TE does not seem to have the answers. Also worrying, we have a visit to the dark side looming in a few weeks. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Portsmouth The Verdict at 11:27:33
Yes, it was an eagerly awaited derby. Yes, we wanted the bragging rights. But, the main thing was a get three points to get our season kick started. Judging by our first half performance, we were lucky this game was not played at Fratton Park, as that could have been embarrassing. Will Still has a lot of thinking and work to do to get us anywhere near promotion. Very, very disappointing afternoon. Improvement called for sharpish. |
 | News Comment | Sky Sports Reports Ivan Juric Sacked at 12:40:00
The worrying thing with SR is, they had this man as their first choice after Ralph was sacked. They then settled on the Welsh wizard. SR have got every major decision wrong and I hope and pray some joined up thinking prevails. If not, god help us. What an absolute joke their tenure has been. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Crystal Palace The Preview at 09:38:09
I don't think alarm bells will ring because of 2000 empty seats. I thought the last relegation was bad enough but this time round is pure comedy. Total ineptitude on top of total ignorance and buffoonery. I think our situation is now critical. These clowns are going to have to do some serious thinking and come up with workable solutions...starting with a suitable manager who is there for the long term. Have I got faith in this regime? On this showing, I fear for next season.... |
 | News Comment | Southampton At Chelsea The Verdict at 10:56:35
Solak and his board are the ones who need a good look at themselves. They have turned this club into a joke. If they are allowed to continue on this destructive path, league one seems a more likely outcome. The sooner they are gone the better. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Bournemouth The Verdict at 10:42:58
The big fear for me are the first 8 - 10 games in the Championship. It could be argued every big decision SR have made has been wrong. This manager has no knowledge of what it takes to get out the Championship at the first attempt. Next October, we could be well adrift from the top in the Championship if this manger stays in position. It is now mid February and we are relegated already. Let us hope our board change their habit of their lifetime and start treating SFC as a professional football club and use the remainder of the season wisely and start planning for a successful campaign in the Championship. I am not holding my breath. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Liverpool The Verdict at 10:44:14
AM made exactly the same mistake at Newcastle on our first outing this season. Did it cost us a point then? AM is an experienced goalie and should and does know better. RM's extreme possession football is suicidal. He is not willing to compromise, that is clear now. Is he now doing this on purpose so he can have his huge payout? Is he now holding SR to ransom? SR deserve this btw, even though the fans are treated like the proverbial by both SR and an extremely arrogant manager. |
 | News Comment | Sources Say Southampton Have Made Decision About Russell Martin at 15:36:36
Unfortunately, RM is only part of the problem. SR have not exactly covered themselves in glory during their tumultuous tenure. I have no insight into their thinking but, should we go down as looks more likely by the week, do they really think we can bounce straight back up? Our squad is Championship at best with about 3 or 4 Premiership quality players. I sincerely hope our board can finally muster some common sense and guile and use this international break to try and salvage this season as best as they can and at least give the manager next season something to work with. As for RM, I have stopped listening. |
 | News Comment | Southampton At Manchester City The Preview at 11:38:24
The likes of Citeeh, Arse and Liverhampton are way beyond our financial reach and yes, a level playing field can only be achieved when they enter their swamp of greed and avarice, ie a superleague, But, once we have stopped bellyaching about the unfairness of the top echelons of the Premiership teams, the big question for me is....WHY SR seem incapable of running a football club which is at least capable of competing against the lower echelons of the Prem? Why do they keep appointing second rate managers? Why do we shop in the basement bargain shop when it comes to players? Are they not interested in our club having Premiership status? |
 | News Comment | Where Will Russell Martin's Thinking Be For Leicester Game at 11:04:33
Leicester, Wolves and Everton are games which he has surely targetted. Man City is a free hit where I suggest keeping the goal difference down is paramount. SR appointed Nathan Jones knowing we were playing 7 or 8 games mainly against teams around us. This turned out to be a huge disaster and consequent relegation. The next 4 games are now the same. I have no insight in SR's thinking but, by leaving RM in charge for these games is more or less an admission they have no clear plan (was there ever one?) and are hoping for the best. All we can hope is that RM has used this international break to adopt a huge dose of pragmatism. His arrogance and pig headedness are grating beyond measure. |
 | News Comment | Southampton V Arsenal The Preview at 15:52:40
After sitting through the infamous night against Leicester, I also went to the next away game at Arsenal, where we came away with a draw when we should have won. Different circumstances but same scenario. I just hope RM, for once, looks up the word pragmatism in the dictionary and takes in the information. A bit defeat tomorrow will see the end of RM but, it will also destroy what is left of the squad's morale and the supporters come to think of it. |
 | News Comment | Southampton Manager Admits Striker Omission Error At Bournemouth at 09:37:18
After the Arsenal game, the board are going to have to act. If they don't, we are doomed. If the appoint like for like, we are probably doomed. If they appoint a proven Prem manager, we might stand a chance. RM's arrogance got us here. What is more baffling is, why the board have stood by it for so long. After losing the first game to NF, alarm bells should have started ringing. |
 | News Comment | Southampton At Bournemouth The Verdict at 11:34:57
If SR go out and gets someone like Eustice, we'll know they are not taking our survival in the Prem seriously. You do wonder whether RM is doing this on purpose so he can walk off with a tidy sum. |
