Comment | Southampton V Arsenal The Preview
at 17:56:46
Contrary to popular belief, I think Championship players who were good enough to be promoted are good enough for the Premiership, provided they are supported and developed. Every player wants to be a top flight footballer and most train long and hard with that aim. A good manager will get the best out of them and if we had the results we COULD have had we would not be where we are. If a change of manager saw us finish fifteenth which I believe could be possible, we would all b
e agreeably surprised. I hope one is appointed tomorrow. |

The loanees dont want to get broken. The club players clearly don't like it here and want to go elsewhere. If they were giving blood for every yard on the pitch in order to grow into next season's premiership players, you would see it. But they don't. |

Realism? The manager hasn't worked out how other teams have rumbled him and keeps playing confusing selections in the hope that something else happens. The Keeper is not fit for purpose and RM has not heard the quote attributed (possibly apocryphally) to Einstein that repeating the same experiment and expecting a different result is stupidity. |

Comment | Let The Southampton Transfer Rumour Mill Begin
at 15:01:59
Sadly, I agree with Saintmark. Ings was a good scorer for us but although his loss was keenly felt, it was made to look far worse because he was not replaced. I don't want to see another bloody crock who is always getting broken. The current team is strong and settled. An intermittently available player unbalances that. Sometimes it can't be helped but it is not a thing you consciously work for. We need somebody fit and able. If that were to cost as much as Ings, then There is the money to buy somebody useful |

Comment | Southampton V Swansea City The Verdict
at 14:29:25
We are now closer to Ipswich than Ipswich are to Leicester. I am glad to see the goal difference eroding because goals scored is the real measure of a team's chances. Three points from a one nil win is less to me than those same from a two one win. Thumping opponents is better for morale and worse for an opposing side's than scraping a hard won win. Nothing helps more than a demoralised opposing keeper. By the time you have put three past them then they are easier to beat. Come to your next game after a five goal win and you are a yard ahead on the pitch already because confidence is King. |

Top heavy with central defenders? What planet are you on? We might as well have fielded ten men all last season for all the good any of them did. |

Managed ? you must be joking!
All of today's results are favourable and we could be off the bottom with a win; then again, it is more likely I could be doing aerobatics with the Red Arrows while riding a unicorn. |

Comment | Southampton At Leeds United The Preview
at 17:22:08
I don't think Leeds have better players than we do.
I doubt if their new manager is better than ours.
I think our players are looking forward to being allowed to play proper football.
The bookies think otherwise but I wouldn't be surprised to see a big Saints win. |

Players don't develop themselves. Let Ruben do what he can for the rest of the season and then get in a hard bastard that will work them up into a team fit for PL football. We have historically punched above our weight and made good players. With the right manager we sill could. |

Comment | Saints Said To Have Agreed Terms For Striker
at 13:29:17
I thought a striker was somebody who scored goals, not somebody who doesn't. I suppose the data says different.
Years ago, our bosses decided that we were all to be psychometrically evaluated by some onanist in red glasses. My mate came out right in the middle of all metrics. He was described as perfectly balanced and therefore unstable. |

If NJ were to manage us to three wins in a row, it would be necessary to re evaluate the need for his removal. Three defeats unfortunately looks the more likely outcome. |
