These days I wish I did not support the Saints it is frustrating.
Stern John misses a Penalty one week and misses a sitter the next Davis / Wright give QPR a goal

I am worried about Relegation I cant see us beating Stoke.

I feel sorry for Gorman and Dodd

Obviously we do not need a manager Crouch?!

Start being honest with us and more importantly yourself!

An total and utter disgrace. 3-1 Down to Queens Park F*cking Rangers at Home after being 1 up, never mind the last minute John goal!!

OMFG.

Yet another season to look forward to in the chumpionship, yet another season of having to put up with them lot down the road rubbing our faces in our own sh*t.

Im just so sick and tired of giving so much of my time, money and heart into supporting this team and getting absoultly nothing in return.

DISGRACE!

I've got a lot to get off my chest.

Poor performance, started well, just went downhill after that. I was at the game, shame on those fans that left half an hour before the end, call yourself real supporters?

Our defece today was appalling, all three goals (especially the 3rd) could've been avoided. How does Jason Euell get into the starting 11 every week, he is useless.

Message to the board, lets face it, Gorman and Dodd need to be replaced. The only reason the players like them is probably because they're given an easy time in training, fitness and concentration levels out there today were at an all time low. We need a no nonsense manager to come in and tell the likes of Euell, Wright-Phillips etc to shape up or **** out.

Also, Leon Crouch, try harder to get some investment in, every rumour about being linked with a takeover seems to be a false dawn. Do your job!

Think thats it for now

This club is dying and its a slow painful death.

We are run by incompetants, we have scumbags as major shareholders and says it all when we have a moron like Leon Crouch as chairman.

What a great idea to carry on playing exactly the same way as we did under Burley, because that was working wasn't it?!?! Still playing players out of position and still seeing rubbish like Euell doing diddlysquat in a Saints shirt.

How moronic to appoint Dodd & Gorman on the back of the fact the players like them! This bunch of players are only interested in the easy life, of course they want nice people in charge of them.

The club has to appoint a new manager NOW. The new manager has to be a right hard bástard who will flog the players into the ground in training and make them fearful of playing bad.

The club really is in freefall on and off the pitch and I fear is going to get a lot worse over the coming months.

Shame on you Saints.

Perhaps if Jermain Wright wasnt on the pitch, that might help!? he is a complete waste of space. Does he/ the players not feel guilty taking home their wages every week. I am so glad I've given up on going, its bad enough listening on Radio Solent!

Come on Saints, pull your finger out!!!

I think it is a good idea to keep Dodd and Gorman as the caretaker managers. Firstly, if a takeover does go ahead, then it is likely the new chiarman will want to bring in the manager of his choice and this enables him to do that. Secondly, the performances under the current management have not been that bad. I thiink that promotion is a goal that is too ambitous for the current season but with some new investment and a new manager in the next few months, we can easily buy new players and make a decent push for the next season. COYR!!!!

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

There is NO investment coming into the club anytime soon. Just more smokescreens to keep fans from kicking up a fuss about how our club is being so poorly run.

We've won one game under Gorman & Dodd and that against Bury who are near the bottom of the 2nd division! And Bury deserved to win that game!

Now the players are under no pressure again and it showed today. Too lazy (apart from Andrew Davies) no concentration, no fitness and this is the worse Saints team I have ever seen and they have the worst attitude too.

Play the kids and get shot of Thomas, Euell, Wright, Wright-Phillips, Powell and SternJohn.

Can someone explian to me why we are playing a team with 3 passengers Euell who hasn' a clue, Wright-Phillips who simply cannot control the ball and Wright who simply isn't up to the standard of the Championship. What does this team do in training? They cannot control the ball, cannot pass the ball and don't have a clue. I am sorry to say that on recent form we will be relegated. What a mess.

Probably because they are "nice lads in training". Nice guys finish last. Can you imagine this lot in a relegation scrap? We don't have a prayer if the teams below us pick up form. This lot won't scrap.

Crouch, get a new and proper manager in now before it's too late (stop putting Saint fans through this crap). Get the investment in. Then go, you are enjoy your ego status too much! If your a Saints fan, then show in the best possible way and do the right thing for SOUTHAMPTON F.C. and not you!!

what has happened to this club? its slowly dying with the lack of investment, manager, and passion. Ive been a supporter for 47 years. Been through the highs and lows, but this has got to be the lowest point in all my time as a saints supporter

always look on the bright side of life, doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo.

Its simple with Euell Wright BWP as first choice players we are *****ed!!!!

At this rate we WILL be playing Bournemouth!!

Leave off Crouch Dodd and Gorman.

Its the players who miss goals I cannot see what really can be done

As a qpr fan I really feel sorry for you.
We've been thru this b4, and had to take the trip downhill and into divison two, as Leeds are doin now.
I sincerely hope that the owners of this club will see the warning signs b4 its too late.
QPR did not. And we almost paid the price of going into administration.
Best of luck Soton. You'll be back

Euell Wright BWP are the ones we should have loaned out,
we need 2 replace them now
we wont be in this divison next season
thats 4 sure

Well, dood and gorman said it themselves...the only way we have a chance of getting into the playoof positions is by winning our home matches. That is exactly what we are not doing and so another season it is in the fizzy pop league

if saints think 2 caretakers can get us promoted, then their having a fcking laugh

Point taken, but at least Stern can score goals.

Send Stern John in for shooting practice (6 hours worth)....stop leaning back when you f###### shoot! If we're going to attack we can't keping missing open goals. Crikey at Palace his equaliser nearly made it over the bar too. What happens in training??

We need both a strong manager and financial backers. Where are the financial backers this club needs? It's time the Southampton business community realised a club in the Premiership or even better in Europe is the best advert for the City and it's businesses. Can't you guys get on board and give the club it's financial backing. The Saints could easily be top 10 Premiership with the money and the right manager.

After Sky Sports saying Saints players are letting QPR scoring two silly goals just before half time. Saints got one goal one minute after the start thanks to a quick free kick which end with a Powell goal. Our players let us down by missing easy goals several times during the match.

In the second half Saints had tried to do well but it was impossible to get at goals during the match and when QPR scored a third, the fans starting to leave the stadium and Sky Sports News says many fans was heard booing and hissing at our team.

Even Stren John's late goal did not stop us going down! We are now 9 points from the drop in their new position of 18th and rumours were heard about the boards deciding this week whether we have to go into administration should investors fails to buy the club.

If that is the case we could drop down to bottom after a 10 points penalty deducation like our fellow southern club, Bournemouth.

what are you taliking about?

Crouch is to blame 100%, he put them there, and claimed this was best for the club.

As to the players who missed the goals, it sounds like you think all clubs should gety rid off their managers because they can not effect the result?

Ask a Palace fan , or Sunderland fan what a new manager can do! One who motivates, makes the right tactical decisions, and gives the team a good kick up the backside when needed!

This season we should be in the play offs, not fighting religation. You might be happy with at best another year in this crap fizzy league, at worst a drop. but Crouch should be giving fans what they desreve, and that is better than this crap!!

Crouch has gamble on the cheap, and I for one will not lay off him, until he delivers what all Saints supporters desreve!!

I've been going to the Dell and St Marys for the last 50 years. If I choose not to waste another half an hour of my time that is my business and it certainly doesn't make me any less of a supporter that people who spend their time singing that fellow supporters 30 miles away should be shot.

I will be back again next match, and I will be back next year when I rather suspect we may be where I came in - in the equivalent of the old third division south.

Frankly, although I really regret that fan power stopped Glen Hoddle rejoining the Saints while we still had half a team, the main problem now is not the manager or even the board. It's the fact that the players we've got are just poor. Andrew Surman is rated by many, included on this message board, as one of the best if not the best player. And that just shows how poor the standard is because once again his lack of talent and lack of corage shone like a beacon.

If we get some investment, we may be able to buy some players to improve what we see each week. But until then, I will continue to buy my season ticket and continue to hope we may win enough games to stay in the Championship. And I will continue to choose to leave early occasionally if I want (this is the third time in 50 years I have left early).

The only good thing at the moment is that (A) we don't have to be humiliated by playing Pompey twice a season (B) we won't have join in the idiotic idea of playing one game a season overseas.

Ummm on a bummer a stuffing from Stoke coming up plus the desert a loss to big Bristols followed by admin and relagation hows that.Flog the lot because Burley new this team is crap!

EVERY0NE AT THIS CLUB DESERVES A G00D KICK UP THIER LAZY FAT ARSES

All you Burley out chumps are gutted now. With him we were doing much better than the two gimps we have in charge at the moment.

Oh dear. I really hope it doesn't go ti ts up with this club. It's looking more and more likely.

If you mugs think Plodd and nomann were the right choice for this great club, then you seriously need to take your f*cking heads out of your arse.CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP like a f*cking bird.Did we not learn from past mistakes, eg Wigely,Gray, championship players replacing premiership ones etc etc.Burley may as well had been their today because they were still unfit, and how wright and ewell play week in week out is beyond most of us.

I knew we would get relegated once we left The Dell....but I did not expect a further relegation struggle...the wide open spaces of St Mary's have never suited our style of play. Maybe we can change the size of the playing area to the smallest allowed?? Then at least Wright would LOOK like he was covering some ground...

John Gorman is a happy man today- why? The Saints lose again.

Martin, my golf coach, reckons it's settle down, don't panic and wait for Glen to get his Spanish academy up and running. Come the summer he can re-link up with Gorman, no need to replace all the back room staff. We just need to keep out of the relegation mire in the meantime. No point in expecting new investors - if that happens it happens. Bring on the youngsters like McGoldrick and keep your fingers crossed for Glen.
Martin, don't drown yourself in your bath tonight, things could be worse mate.

We have an embarrasing team and an embarrassing chairman. I can't believe that clown Leon Crouch is making decisions at our club. He's not even putting any money into the club. If only he spent as much on Saints as he does on his "lady friends"

Utter rubbish. It would have been the same with Burley today as it has been all season. It was time for Burley to go, but you would expect him to be replced with a decent manager - I thought we had a queue of them all waiting to be asked!!!

No quality on the pitch, no quality in the (caretaker) management, no quality in the board or chairman.
It seems it's seems as if the whole club is like a rabbit caught in headlights, unable or unwilling to do anything except wait for disaster to strike. And the way SFC are going it will. F*cking disgraceful. I hope to God there's a sensible takeover before we go the way of Leeds (and the galling thing is we haven't shown a fraction of the ambition Leeds did).

Come on Dodd and Gorman - be a bit different and keep Euell off the pitch, and as for the Board, don't leave it too long to get things sorted. This result is a clear warning that we need a fix soon.

This afternoon's performance sums up the Club. A SHAMBLES. A Shambles at the top in the Directors Box, a Shambles in the Management with Messrs Dodd and Gorman plus Lawrie for a cup of tea and chat a cheap option and a Shambles of a teaM. We need a Manager who will give this lot a big kick up the Backside. If something isn't done soon we will be in Division 1 next season. An absolute disgrace today

It was bad enough mising two "sitters" but all heads went down and goals went in.Why stick with Brad when he is obviously out of form, Stern misses more than he scores and obviously the "management "want to keep in with the boys rather than kick ****,why did Hammell come off was he making the rest look what they are -no hopers-bring on the youth they must have more heart than this bunch. I have been and always will be a supporter but I have seen Saints in the lower leagues and DONT WANT TO AGAIN

NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON WE HAVE BEEN BEATEN BY A TEAM WHO HAS A STRONG HARD MAN LEADING THEIR ATTACK.NOT LIKE THE SAINTS WHO ONLY HAVE POWDER PUFF STRIKERS WHO NEVER WIN A BALL IN THE AIR SO ALL ATTACKS BREAK DOWN.THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE AND THERE WILL BE MORE RESULTS LIKE TODAY UNLESS WE CAN GET A GOOD TARGET MAN IN ON LOAN FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON

Based on performances this season and today in particular I can only conclude that the mothers of Saints fans advised us very badly.....

POMPEY IS J0INING U IN A FEW SEAS0NS TIME, IN LEAGUE 2

I blame saints supporters for the position we are in,I cannot get through to there thick
heads that we need a top class manager,I have tried for so long to get Glenn Hoddle back,and yet I get shouted down by saints fans that think they know better,if we don't act fast we will be down like Leeds
David Crook

If we do get someone to buy out this club,I hope they have deep pockets because they'll need them to replace the whole squad and get in a decent manager.Yet again here we are talking about survival,I think we've been here before.God help us.

I was at the game today and we had a bright start but the more the game went on QPR were always going to win as they were more organised than Saints and this is down to QPR having a manager.If we are not careful we will getting relegated as we cannot defend and Saints seem to allow loads of space for the opposition on our right wing.QPR player with shirt number 25 had so much space that it was obvious that he do an assist which happened and even Saints still had problems in the second half with this player having loads of space and it other teams have picked on this on previous games.Saints need a manager NOW!!! The board must wake up cos IF we go down whose going to invest their money with Saints.Red and White forever.

Come back Rupert, all is forgiven...

I've been saying since the end of last season. Why oh why are we not playing the young players rather than these journeymen hangers on? If Liverpool wanted Lancashire how come we're playing Powell. If Lallana is the next star midfielder we've produced, why wright/Euell? If we're not scoring goals why not McGoldrick?

At least the season wouldn't be wasted as we'd be giving them some valuable experience. I really can't see us finishing bottom three so why not play these lads who would play with passion and pride for the shirt? I have no problem with Gorman and Dodd. These players are Sh1t3. The worst I've seen since my first game. 4-2 win against Liverpool at the Dell late eighties. How we've changed. One season had more happy memories than the last five years.

Lets be honest guy,Saints struggled for years in the Premiership with Le Tiss saving us for at least 10 seasons and never left the club.
The team is now full of jonny foreigners who dont give a toss for the club and we are now reaping lack of passion for the fans or the club.They will just take the money and clear off when it suits them.

time 2 prepare 4 the fa cup next saturday,
lets give the league a rest,
hopefully we get that take0ver s00n

Thats it. I have had enough. Time for everyone involved with our great club to stand up and be counted. Leon, one undeserved win and one point from 9 doesn't mean Dodd and Gormless are doing a good job. Do they still phone Burley for team advice. 18th in the Championship is not good enough for Saints. Get someone in NOW. I will even take Billy Davies at the moment. At least he can get the players to play with a bit of fight. I work with a load of Liverpool fans who moan about Benitez. If they don't want him we'll have him. Why does Wright think he is worthy of waering a Saints shirt. And why buy Thomas and play him on the wing. I despair. Please Leon pull your finger out and make this club great again.

So the Board appoint Dozy and Gormless. These two have the worst record in the Championship with 2 losses and 1 draw.

What is worse, having Dozy and Gormless as our Managers or having as Directors people that think they are up to the job?

Crouch had plenty of warning Burley was going and FAILED to have a successor ready.

I've not been to SMS for years, I've been living abroad. So I was well up for going to today's game. Well yesterday I rang up St. Mary's to ask if you can get tickets on the day, and was told you have to be on 'the database'. I was informed that the game would be a sell out. Fair enough I thought and went down to the considerably nearer Ashton Gate, not the team I support but at least I could gwatch a game. To my amazement I see the attendance at SMS was 22,000. Unbelievable!! That seems to me 10,000 short. I used to pay about £20 to be a member in the dell days, but surely they don't expect you to pay it now just to have the right to buy tickets, not for that team?
Still love the saints but there's something wrong with that system.

Davis

Ostlund Davies Powell Vignal

Hammil Safri Viafara Surman

Saganowski John

Why the f@ck does Euell(ess), Wrong-Phillips and Wright (load of cr@p) get games every week.

Maybe I should be caretaker.

Can't do any worse than Gormless and Diddy.

WHY EUELL ??????

He is absolute ****.

WHY is John Viafara on the bench when he is clearly our best midfielder ?

Why doesn't Saga start ?

Why don't we believe that the tw@ts on the board won't do the right thing for our once great club ?

Have you only just realised that your mothers were all GOONS

So it seems that no-one at the club cares about our hard earned money that we plow into the club every year & now it seems that they don't give a toss about our safety as well as u would have seen after 2days match if u walked back to the itchen bridge, cars were allowed to try & drive both ways through thousands of fans, when i finally saw a police man outside the chapel arms pub & asked the question why ? he told me that between a meeting with themselves & the club it was decided that the traffic would no longer be stopped after the match, maybe it's to allow the 11 overpaid idiots on the pitch & the gods knows how many overpaid idiots in the board room more time to get to the bank to pay in their totally undeserved supporters cash, common sense i think not, sfc would be better off being run by homer simpson, hang on it already is

a really bad result for saints. we are not far off of a relegation scrap now and we need to pick up a few wins just to keep us in mid-table safety. the cup game against bristol rovers after stoke on tuesday is a welcome break from the misery of looking at the league table, a good cup run is the only highlight of a season which although i half suspected it anyway, it has been a really dissappointing one. what we need to do is look a QPR, and see that new investment, new chairman, a new manager and money to spend on new players has galvanised the club that has struggled for years at lower levels and they look like a team that is gonna go up!! and i wouldnt bet against them doing it this season.
this is what we've got to hope for!! we've gotta hang in there and hope that next season we'll have a new chairman with some money, a new manager and a new team and a fresh start for everyone.
it really hurts to be a saints fan right now but i wouldnt rather be a fan anywhere else.
forever saints!!

Apart From Thomas For Powell SPOT ON! and McGoldrick first change up front as it high time he wasgiven a chance up front as he scores for the reserves and lets face it we aint doing it up front just now!

NO COMMENT!!!!!!

We had a great opportunity to get Steve Cotterill to be our manager last week, he was down here last week with the England U21's! Instead we stick with Gorman and Dodds. One point out of nine, Stoke away next, that makes it one out of twelve then!
And a lucky win against Bury in the cup.

Deja vu!! Gray, then sturock best manager statistically we had,three games in comes wigley.Lots of support from players, knows the club,left to play other relegation candidates in november, then too late when harry comes and were relegated. GET REAL saints, and the board LOOK AT THE TABLE, eight (including Lundekvam) of the play off side have gone, yesterdays result means we are in a relegation dog fight. We need a manager FAST or well be in Div 1.!!!I would go with Blackwell, can use small resources, had Leeds in the play offs again and was excellent with Luton,Only trouble is wherever he goes they go into administration!!!!. Takeover maybe, Playoffs your JOKING. JR

DISGRACE!!!! SURMAN, EUELL,WRIGHT,KELVIN - RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!

The only one who played for the shirt was Andrew Davis yesterday.

WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE OUR NEXT MANAGERS HAS ALOT OF **** WORK TO DO. SELL THE LOT OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!

This team reminds me of the same team we had in our first season in the championship.

why are fans blaming wright. i think he s the only player that can pass a ball ten yards to his own player its not his fault if hes picked at left back when hes a holding midfielder. thomas at right back?? hes a centre half.do you think they want to play in these positions.why dont the two fullbacks in the reserves get a chance?? they are fullbacks for god sake !!! blame playwers like surman who is playihg poorly in his right position!! just because hes a saints boy doesnt make him immune from critism.and as for viafara am i the only one that can see he has everything a midfielder should have? gorman and dodd are supposed to be experienced pros . why cant they see these things or are just trying to be one of the boys. you can upset some players if you like boys!! we have to win games not remain POPULAR !!!

Should I be Pompey, should I be Saints, here's what she said to me: Wash your mouth out son and get your father's gun. And shoot the Pompey scum and support the Saints." Based on performances this season and today in particular I can only conclude that the mothers of Saints fans advised us very badly.....

Were you drunk when you wrote this Martin? Did you really ask your mum who you should support? I never did...it just came naturally. I am from Southampton, therefore I support the Saints, and always will, come hell or high water. End of story!

I am from Southampton too, born and bred. But your kind of blind faith just plays into the hands of a board that just takes our money, sells the best players, feeds us a load of bullsh*t and doesn't give a ****.

The fact remains we're paying roughly £25.00 a game for a thoroughly miserable experience every week. If you look at it for one moment as a consumer rather than as a fan we're getting treated very poorly. And that was the point I was making.

The loyalty of Saints fans should not be taken for granted - you may not want to defect to Fratton Park, but there are plenty of more enjoyable ways of spending a Saturday than watching the rubbish we've been served up this season.

replace all these players, their all donkeys

These restrictions were introduced to make sure all Scummer supporters were either. On the Dole A Pony fiddler A criminal Of low intelligence This was brought in to ensure no normal decent people entered SMS on match days. Coming from Bristol will qualify you also.

Former Bournemouth manager Harry Redknapp, who lives in the affluent Sandbanks area of Dorset, has been asked to help his old club, who have gone into administration.

We're all bitterly disappointed, too, Jason, you t*sser.
Let's face it, this time next week we'll be in serious sh*t, having taken one point from 12 (losing to Stoke on Tuesday) and out of the FA Cup (things always go tits up in the cup at Bristol for Saints) with no manager, no direction and a bloody stiff relegation fight looming - and not a lot of chance of getting out of it, with the fixtures left, if you look at it, especially as we have to go WBA and Wolves and we can't even beat the crap teams at home anymore.
League One, I mean Third Division here we come

100% right mate.
I have previously posted on this site many times before that when teams come to SMS they now expect to take home all three points.
Reason being....with the exception of Andrew Davies the rest of the team have no determination,no fight,no desire,no ball winners....need I go on.
Until we get players in with passion we are going nowhere.
Stop the rot and get a manager in to bring some lifeblood back into this souless squad.
Oh...and another thing whose brainless idea was it to stick the away support in the Northam end.
We need the whole end for SFC... not sharing it half and half as this will make for a more intimidating atmosphere.
Shove em in the Kingsland stand....out of sight out of mind!

I feel for you as we could have done with a few more there yesterday!

I think that the reason it was database only was because QPR had sold all their allocation and the system was put in place to stop away fans buying home tickets.

Clearly our best team....obviously Vignal has a broken arm and Ostlund is gaining match fitness again....Saga won more headrers at Palace in 20 mins than John & Wrong-Phillips do in say,what....7 or 8 matches....and sadly I'm not joking. Euell is full of effort but composure is zero..a sub at best if we need to defend away from home.

I have supported Saints for nearly 30 years and for the first time i am ashamed to admit it. I have been living outside of the UK for 9 years but i still go whenever i can and spend a fortune on anything Saints sell with their badge on it. I just don't know how far we can sink. To make it worse these so called rich life long fans keep their hands firmly in their pockets and watch us suffer. I'm glad i am here - being rocketed day to day has got to better than having a season ticket at SMS.

ive had enough, im off to support man utd!

not as depressing!!! Daily echo, can you stress in mondays headlines that the fans want a manager , and fast!! and make it billy davies, shearer or coleman

It's now Sunday morning and I still haven't got over yesterday's abject performance by the Saints. I read a quote from John Gorman that he And Jason have been told by the Board that there is no pressure. Well let me say that there is one hell of a lot of pressure because we are now in a relegation fight. Forget the play offs we need to avoid the drop and I'm afraid to say that on what I've seen recently I'm not overly optimistic.It's all well and good waiting for investment before making an appointment but who will want to invest in a League 1 team. The players are too comfy with Messrs Gorman and Dodd, they are just drifting. WE need a new Manager NOW not in 3 months time because that will be too late and please don't wait for Tony Pulis or we will just have a team of clogging 6ft 5 giants.We need a no nonsense Manager like Billy Davies ( not everyone's cup of tea ) who will give this squad of under achievers a good rollicking before it's too late. So Mr Crouch get on and do your Job as Chairman and pull your finger out before it's too late.

Saga & Viafara should be playing. Drop BWP & useless Euell. To me this just seems common sense.

In midfield for the nxt game they should play Hammill, Viafara, Idiakez, Surman.

And surely it would be better to play a left back from the youth team, or reserves rather than Wright, who for one is a right back & secondly is S***!

The proof will be the pudding next week if Euell, Wright-Phillips, and Wright are picked for next week's match. I cannot understand why we are not giving some of our reserves an outing rather than constantly selecting our lame ducks.
Another sh&t performance and we still have to read the manager's after match comments. How much is the club paying for this public relations expert to write the cr&p for them?

its the wigley days again !! we cannot promote from within we need a new man now to get rid of euell ,john and the rest of the money grabbing wasters if blackpool can get dickov surely we can do better than we have gorman and dodd are no good they are good coaches and thats as good as it gets

Might have known, the P**pey scum are on here bigging it up. Well make the most of it skate boys, your dodgy dealings will bite you in the arse soon enough and you'll fall further nad harder than we have. W@nkers.

You cannot blame this performance on Gorman and Dodd - the players let them and themselves down very badly on Saturday.
There was no passion or commitment and they could not string two passes to each other.
Heads need to roll and players need to selected who would openly give their all to the cause!
Young Lallana came on and was a breathe of fresh air - at last we have someone who can beat people in the middle of the park and have the confidence to then shoot on goal - quite a novelty for us to have a player like that!!
Team against Stoke should be:

Davis
Ostlund(if fit)
Powell
Davies
O'Halloran
Viafara
Lallana
Surman
Idiakez
John
McGoldrick

I only pick John because it looks like Saga has lost all ability and confidence!

The players are at fault, not the management team, we need to get behind Gorman and Dodds, there is no else!!

Just think Stoke away on Tuesday! great! Plus the main game on Championship this morning for all see how crap we are! Then on Saturday, on TV again, no doubt the players will show themselves up again for all to see. it can only get worse, surely?

I dont know what game Simmo has seen Jermaine Wright play well in midfield, he must be watching a different person to me, he's s**t wherever he plays!!

steve cotterill would be an ideal choice. good manager, and coach, a great motivator, and gets the maximum out of his teams. Also has good man management skills and doesn't take any nonesense. Was seen working with the England U21's last week down at Saints training grounds. Lives down the road, did a great job at Burnley (only had 8 players when he arrived there!) would be a very shrewd appointment.

When canzy move in plenty of sniff around Gas but me after the Texas Oil under your ground!

Please block the inbreds Skaters from using this site let them log on like the News Skate and Turkey Town editions,Why because they are like the M275 the best exit from Skatesville!

The only excuse for Gorman and Dodd being in charge for 'the foreseeable future' is if a takeover is going to happen in the next couple of weeks. So Crouch and Mc Menemy, either a takeover or new management by 20 February or go yourselves and let someone else take over. No more lies, excuses, half truths. And take Jermaine Wright with you.

Earlier I made "NO COMMENT" but after talking to a P**pey employee things arn`t quite so bad at Saints as they are down the M27. I will post more news shortly.

But you cant sell 18000 tickets for most prem games so what matter does the capacity mean?You are the wigan of the south,rich owner,no fans.You admit there was 10000 missing sfc fans thats because we regualy sold 31000 in that league even when we were sh*t,whats your excuse?SO SPUNKY SAM, SH*T FAN BASE WHO CANT SELL OUT EVEN WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING THEIR BEST FOOTBALL FOR YEARS,SPENDING LOADS OF MONEY AND PLAYING IN THE BEST LEAGUE.Worrying times if your sugar daddy f*cks off cause you havnt got the fan base to back it up and if the rumours are true your in trouble.

Why does everbody have something against Jason Euell? He had a reasonable game yesterday and has been the best Saints player by far over the last few weeks. I don't see all you Sados playing for Saints. He gives 110 percent every bloody week. Anyway, as for your team mullingar, if we field them we will lose more like 100-0. Davis is on good form at the moment apart from that blunder yesterday. Ostlund is injured most of the time and a waste of space the other time. Powell played ok yesterday but could be out for another two months even if he just stubs his toe. Davies is good. As for O'Halloran, he is awful. He just gives the ball away all the time on his debut and scores an own goal while playing for Ireland in the under 21's. As for Viafara he is good when he's in the mood, otherwise he just walks around the field daydreaming. He has been "ill" over the last couple of weeks but many people think he's on his way out. Lallana played very well when he came on against QPR, I agree with you on that choice. Surman tries hard but usually gives the ball away. But, I think he could improve. As for Idiakez, he is past it. Ex Derby (that can't be good) and he's another one like Powell who just sits around on his bum all day, and when he plays he gets injured straight away. Stern John missed a complete sitter on Saturday but he holds the ball up well and with a bit of support he could help us get a few goals. Finally Mcgoldrick. He is a good goalscorer but I have a feeling that he can get a bit greedy and that is not what Saints need.

I know Saints have alot of work to do but I think we should give Gorman and Dodds a bit more time. Keep Euell in! Up the Saints!!

I have berated many contributors to this site in recent weeks for their cynicism and negativism and have said that we must continue to support the Club.

I stick by that. However, yesterday's defeat was not just down to a few serious individual errors (as made out by Doddy). It was due to poor team selection - Euell is appalling and playing Wright at left back rather than O'Halloran (a left back) - and worst of all, a total lack of commitment, effort and enthusiasm by the players (Davies and Davis excepted).

In more than 50 years as a Saints supporter I have never seen such a wretched Saints team as that which took the field yesterday. They were a disgrace to the Saints shirt. They should be docked a week's wages and Saints fans should be given free tickets to a future match. We complain about fat cat investment bankers with their obscene bonuses but these footballers are just as bad. Why should we tolerate it?

We only need 12 points from 15 games to be sure of staying up. We can probably manage that. Give some other players a chance - Lallana, Licka, McGoldrick.

Let's hope we can get the new investment and clear out the dross we have in the playing staff at present. Many of those players know they will not feature for us in the Premiership if we got there, so where's the incentive for them to gain promotion? I get the impression they are not at all bothered about doing so.

As for Doddy and Gorman, they are being let down by the players. They should be given a few more games in charge, but only if they are prepared to make the team changes that are necessary and work the players, who look very unfit physically and mentally, twice as hard on the training ground.

The Board must do everything in their power to find a buyer for the Club. The big shareholders like Lowe, Crouch and Wilde, and their cronies must realise that, unless they are realistic in their expectations, they will soon be holding shares with very little value.

Season ticket sales will plummet next season if there is no progress in the next 2 months. The Club is in great danger of collapse.

We fans have to stick with it but there is a limit to our patience and loyalty. Everyone at the Club must understand that.

COYR

Glad I'm not the only one to think that only Davis and Davies are up for the cause at the back. Thomas is erratic, Powell is never fit and Wright is wrong at left back (and most other positions). Euell and BWP are wasters who ponce around and do little in return. John is ok with good service.

Time to role the sleaves up, which means bringing back Viafara, and taking the matches to the opposition as we are not good enough to sit back on leads.

For Stoke, bring in Viafara and Saga for Euell & BWP for starters, consider O'Halloran instead of Wright and maybe give Lancashire a go at the back. If only we were about to hang on to Bale, Baird, Cranie, Jones and Walcott....

In the unlikely event that our Chairman should decide to leave, you can bet your life that there would be plenty of people, WITH MONEY!!! who would want to buy a Premier League Club.

Where are 'the people with money, waiting to invest' that you gullible people were told were waiting to come onboard once Rupert & Co were shifted?

If, as you suggest, we are the Wigan of the South, may I remind you that Wigan are Still in the Premier League! For you, the Premier League is just a memory, with little prospect of a return for a decade or more.

You wonder why you have not got a new manager?
The story is that, IF one could be found to take the job, he/she would probably want their own staff, and SFC can't afford to make the redundancy pay-off to Ken Dodd and Teresa Gorman.

You can't get investors interested because they figure that it would be cheaper to pick up the pieces when the club goes 'belly up' in administration, rather than invest now, paying a Championship Club price for what could very well be a League One club next season!

I notice that you gave no reason why the fan site, 'SaintsForever.com' was closed down! Lack of interest? Lack of fans? No one believed the B S that they were being fed?

If I went to a shop and got short-changed once, I may consider it an accident.

If that shop short-changed me twice, I would think they were careless.

If they did it again on a third visit, that would be my last!

How long are you prepared to be short-changed at SMS?

They say, 'A mug and their money is soon parted'.

Are you saving for next season's season ticket?


U Mug!

Alot of question have to be asked. Why was JW playing at RB? We all know he is a CM. I feel sorry for JW.

We have Jesus who is a RB so why didn't he play? and Thomas at LB?

Looks like Gormen has been on the phone to GB.

As for Surman - about time someone dropped him. Yes, he is a Saints fan but he shouldn't be in the team for that reason.

if saints are so hard up why dont they sell the land the own,<jacksons farm west end> then invest in people who can play the game

We will beat Stoke City on Tuesday,then travel
down to Bristol Rovers in the F.A cup and win that one,we will be in the F.A cup final and win that one,I am being a loyal positive supporter, come on you saints.
God I have just woke up,Aldershot 3 Southampton 0

No wonder these players are "right behind" Dodd and Gorman. They all want the easy life! God help 'em if they ever got a manager who made them earn their wages.

Doesn't anbody realise that our troubles have got worse since Dodd has become first team coach. He didn't do any good at Eastleigh but is considered good enough for the Championship!

What really has Gorman done? The number of good players that have gone to other clubs just makes you wonder why we cannot attract them. Ifill was a typical example.

This is all very familiar - didn't the players say exactly the same about football genius Steve Wigley?
You know,the man who got us relegated by insisting that future England goal machine Peter Crouch was only good enough for Saints reserves.
Hope our next manager will be a right b*stard who will drag the Saints squad kicking and screaming out of their comfort zone.
One Billy Davies fits the bill.

Your owner has giving up on you,you aint got no money, no more.
And its quite easy to work out why he has become suddenly tight fisted.
The simple fact is that you are no longer worth the risk of investment,by your curreny owner, or anyone else for that matter.
YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE LAND TO BUILD ON,so there is NO PROFITin portsmouth fc whatsoever.
And l can also tell you that pfc HAD to BORROW £24million a couple of months ago.
Ask yourself why borrow all that money, if you have a rich owner.
As for managers,your assistant manager applied for the job,and was told thanks, but no thanks,and giving Saints got a fair whack of compensation from the SFA,money most certainly is not an issue.
This time last week there was no hope of any potential takeover, there is now,dont you read the papers pugwash.
Youve had the money,its gone,our day will come,and rest assured when it does,prepare yourself for another half a century of being dominated by Saints,history will be repeated and NORMAL SERVICE WILL BE RESUMED.
YOU AINT GOT A POT TO **** IN,FACT!

Can anyone think of any positives. I cant. Long list of negatives!!!!!!!

1. Another shocking home defeat.
2. We conceded 3 goals at home again.
3. Safri sent off.
4. Still managerless.
5. Lost 2, drawn 1 and a win in the cup (bury) is not an impressive start. (dodd/gorman)
6. No money
7. No further word on potential investors or buyers.
8. No further player purchases or loans. Mcmenemy says we have a decent squad. (clearly not, who the feck is he watching!!!)
9. 18th place in the championship.
10. 7 points, (four places) from relegation albeit 7 points from play off place.
11. JOHN and BWP only hit the target after 100 chances between them. How anyone rates BWP i dont know. He is not even a shadow of his brother and an embarrassment to Ian Wright. I know thats harsh, but deserved.
12. Saints board are uselss.
13. Chairman useless.
14. Possible/likely administration.
15. Lost all our best players. Shi! replacements. Most are loanees.

Have i forgotten anything????
Oh, the pain of being a saints fan.

Sturrock is the man you speak of and look how that worked out. Players drove him out because his answer to poor performances on the pitch is to run hard in training or get out. If Storruck had been allowed to get rid of the dead wood and bring in workers we'd still be top flight. That is one mistake Lowe made that is rarely talked of.

We went from Wigley to Sturrock. Do we bring someone hard in again? It would take time as the players would jump ship and the team would be a problem until that new man was able to completely change the first team, al but a few players that deserve to stay.

I'm going to start a website, euell out.com I'd love to see how many hits it gets. My thinking is alot!

you had me crying into my beer, but sadly i can only agree and add:

16. beaten by Stoke on Tuesday night.
17. Out of the FA Cup next weekend.
18. No decent manager wants to leap on to a sinking ship like this.

Dowie has been sacked from Coventry! Worth a phone call? Might not be a bad thing? Flowers has also been sacked! There would be no compo to pay.

Powell played ok yesterday but could be out for another two months even if he just stubs his toe. Davies is good. As for O\'Halloran, he is awful. He just gives the ball away all the time on his debut and scores an own goal while playing for Ireland in the under 21\'s. As for Viafara he is good when he\'s in the mood, otherwise he just walks around the field daydreaming. He has been \"ill\" over the last couple of weeks but many people think he\'s on his way out. Lallana played very well when he came on against QPR, I agree with you on that choice. Surman tries hard but usually gives the ball away. But, I think he could improve. As for Idiakez, he is past it. Ex Derby (that can\'t be good) and he\'s another one like Powell who just sits around on his bum all day, and when he plays he gets injured straight away. Stern John missed a complete sitter on Saturday but he holds the ball up well and with a bit of support he could help us get a few goals. Finally Mcgoldrick. He is a good goalscorer but I have a feeling that he can get a bit greedy and that is not what Saints need. I know Saints have alot of work to do but I think we should give Gorman and Dodds a bit more time. Keep Euell in! Up the Saints!!

Are you Jason Euell? Euell is consistantly rubbish, BWP is not interested at all, JW trys, but is not a good player, and when played out of position in defence, he is deplorable and just costs us goal after goal. Hammil is by far our best player and yet keeps getting subbed. Dodd and Gorman need to pick players that are interested and play with heart and passion, instead of their favorates.

P.S Why get a left back on loan for a month and not play him, especially when the 1 left back we do have is injured, he did well for Ireland (unlucky touch for own goal).

In the unlikely event that our Chairman should decide to leave, you can bet your life that there would be plenty of people, WITH MONEY!!! who would want to buy a Premier League Club. Where are \'the people with money, waiting to invest\' that you gullible people were told were waiting to come onboard once Rupert & Co were shifted? If, as you suggest, we are the Wigan of the South, may I remind you that Wigan are Still in the Premier League! For you, the Premier League is just a memory, with little prospect of a return for a decade or more. You wonder why you have not got a new manager? The story is that, IF one could be found to take the job, he/she would probably want their own staff, and SFC can\'t afford to make the redundancy pay-off to Ken Dodd and Teresa Gorman. You can\'t get investors interested because they figure that it would be cheaper to pick up the pieces when the club goes \'belly up\' in administration, rather than invest now, paying a Championship Club price for what could very well be a League One club next season! I notice that you gave no reason why the fan site, \'SaintsForever.com\' was closed down! Lack of interest? Lack of fans? No one believed the B S that they were being fed? If I went to a shop and got short-changed once, I may consider it an accident. If that shop short-changed me twice, I would think they were careless. If they did it again on a third visit, that would be my last! How long are you prepared to be short-changed at SMS? They say, \'A mug and their money is soon parted\'. Are you saving for next season\'s season ticket? U Mug!

Your owner has giving up on you,you aint got no money, no more. And its quite easy to work out why he has become suddenly tight fisted. The simple fact is that you are no longer worth the risk of investment,by your curreny owner, or anyone else for that matter. YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE LAND TO BUILD ON,so there is NO PROFITin portsmouth fc whatsoever. And l can also tell you that pfc HAD to BORROW £24million a couple of months ago. Ask yourself why borrow all that money, if you have a rich owner. As for managers,your assistant manager applied for the job,and was told thanks, but no thanks,and giving Saints got a fair whack of compensation from the SFA,money most certainly is not an issue. This time last week there was no hope of any potential takeover, there is now,dont you read the papers pugwash. Youve had the money,its gone,our day will come,and rest assured when it does,prepare yourself for another half a century of being dominated by Saints,history will be repeated and NORMAL SERVICE WILL BE RESUMED. YOU AINT GOT A POT TO **** IN,FACT!

Good morning Princess.
Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday.
It really surprises me that you know so much about the inner workings of THE ONLY PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB ON THE SOUTH COAST, and yet you obviously know precious little about what goes on at SMS!
You say that PFC have had to borrow £24m. I have seen nothing about this in the press, but the general public have certainly been made aware of the Stains' financial plight!
IF (r) IF PFC have borrowed money, in these times when borrowing is not easy, it must indicate that PFC are a good risk, and the lender must be sure of getting the money back - with interest! Also, it must mean that the security given (eg PFC) must be worth well over the £24m.

No mention of what happened to the fans site 'SaintsForever.com'! I guess your fans are not For Ever! Certainly the notes on here would tend to indicate this!

Regarding your closing dross!

We may not have a Pot to 'aim at', but after your display when you last visited THE HOME OF THE ONLY PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB ON THE SOUTH COAST, when Lua Lua exposed the frailties of 'Lurpak Nieme', we will be quite content to aim it where it leaves STAINS!!

Cleaned all that salt from your mouth yet pug,must have been cold down the docks this morning.
As l have correctly pointed out,you no longer have a pot to **** in.
I will give you more facts.
What team would sale the premierships third top scorer,and their best player for less than they actually paid for him,3.8million for Benjani,priceless.
Let me know when the next car-booty is at fratton park,sure can pick some bargains up,FAF.
And despite having to sell your best player you still cannot afford that dwarf from spurs resrves.
Surely you should be adding to your team, not replacing them with loan players.
Its becoming clearer now, aint it.
ASSET STRIPPING IS HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK PUG!
Without being able to buy land you are totally fooked as a club.
And your owner now realises that,he cannot make a profit without a new ground and he cannot make a profit without new land,FACT!
In other words, because you live on a tiny little island where land is at a premium,this will ultumately be your down-fall.
So make the most of it,and prepare yourselves as to being dominated for another half a century.
Its quite sad how you can only highlight one game in 50 years as your success against Saints,says it all really.
I have had the pleasure of watching saints in top flight football whilst producing the finest youngster this country has produced,three major cup finals, European football, attacking football a new stadium, the list goes on and on.
I would swap all that for that one 4-1 result.
You are in more debt than Saints, but wew have a state of the art stadium and training complex for our debt, and that something pompey will NEVER have,keep playinmg in your tin hut with your 14,000 supporters,because you aint going no-where!
Oh and make sure you keep picking those turds and used condoms up after training on our land.
We have plenty of land, do you?priceless

Totally agree with Saint4life - Euell is garbage and needs to be out of the team. Idiakez will fill the agp left by Safri, thanks for getting banned for 4 games, just what we needed at the monent.
Anyway, Alex you slated my selection and with your comments we won't have a team to put out!
Who else is there to select???

everthing is fine

Hi Princess! or should I say, 'Bitter from Bittern'!
It was a shame that Benjani was transferred, but football is a business, and Defoe will, I am certain, score more goals.
Selling at a loss? Yes! But we were NOT selling because we were SKINT, as some clubs have to do, but to replace a good striker with a better one.
Of course, with the vast sums that have been made by way of compensation from the SFA for your most popular manager, Burley, and the money saved by sending your players out on loan, to save on wages, you could, of course, come up with the cash and bought Benjani yourself! I wonder why Stains didn't? Could cash crisis be a reason?
What happened to the cash received from THE SOUTH COAST'S ONLY PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB for Martin Cranie? What about the cash received for Theo Walcott? I note that a certain Rasiak was playing for Bolton on Saturday, didn't a player of that name play for your lot? He was playing alongside a certain Mr Davis - does that name ring a bell?
You mention watching your team, and the best youngster produced! What happened to him? Who was it? Where is he now?
Channon? Sold!
Bridge? Sold!
Bale? Sold!
Cranie? Sold!
Walcott? Sold!
Reading a lot of the comments on recent games, I guess that you are not referring to Surman!
With all the money received from the above, and others whose names escape me, you still cannot attract investors or a manager, with Alan Shearer being the latest to distance himself from his old stamping ground!
Whoopee! You have a 'state of the art' stadium! But what a state your club and team are in! Hardly 'state of the art'!
When I go to football, I go to watch PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL, PLAYED BY A TEAM OF PREMIER QUALITY. I do not go to admire the architecture! If that is your thing, good luck! Enjoy! On saturday you would have had the choice of over 10,000 empty seats from which to admire the building! Probably a better sight than what was on display!

In Freefall without the benefit of a parachute!

Is there no end to this? Gorman and Doddsy have got a right job on, to keep things stable. They have my support if they deal with some of the player issues. Its the actual players themselves, who have got us here, and they are the ones to remedy it. G&D please pack BWP off to some amateur league where he might find his level, his concentration, fitness levels, commitment and skills are pathetic compared to some of the players to have worn a saints shirt. Drop Euell who has hit the wall in playing terms, its costing us dear with his limited playmaking in the midfield. Drop Thomas, he is no fullback. Ensure Viafara, Idiakos, Licka are involved in the rest for selection. It won't be perfect but it will promote better passing, ball winning and closing space down. Finally I'd like G&D to express real opinions on players individual performance, to embarrass the slackers into some sort of self grief.

Yes you are selling because you are skint,your owner wants out asap.
If you were not skint,why sell a 9million pound player for a fraction of that price.
Why wait until you have sold that player,in order to replace him.
Why lie about buying a player when infact it was only a loan,and you still have not brought him,check the fa website out.
You are fooked,YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE LAND,and thats the bottom line.
We will get investment, lets face it,if your shower of **** can get investment, fook me we are more than guaranteed investment, not if, but when.
As for attracting managers your assistant managers, not a problem, we have already turned Joe Jordan DOWN.
As for crowds dont even go there, check out the attendance at SMS and fratton park when both teams played at home a few weeks ago,let me remind you that Saints absolutely smashed your attendance, and you were giving free tickets away to the RN.
Giving the fact that you are watching the likes of Arsenal, manure and chelsea,are your average attendances any better than Saints for this season, pathetic.
You are above Saints because of one thing, money, now its gone,the honeymoon period is well and truly over for pfc.

Why he/she does not content him/herself with supporting Bittern Nomads beats me! They must be his/her standard!
Like you, I wish he/she would get off this site, but somehow, like the bad penny, I bet he/she turns up again!

This guy has never even been to an SFC game so why does he continuously write such drivle. It is and he is an embarrassment to SFC ! GET OFF THIS SITE YOU FOOL !

It was a shame that Benjani was transferred, but football is a business, and Defoe will, I am certain, score more goals. Selling at a loss? Yes!

Of course, with the vast sums that have been made by way of compensation from the SFA for your most popular manager, Burley, and the money saved by sending your players out on loan, to save on wages, you could, of course, come up with the cash and bought Benjani yourself!

What about the cash received for Theo Walcott? I note that a certain Rasiak was playing for Bolton on Saturday, didn\\\\\\\'t a player of that name play for your lot? He was playing alongside a certain Mr Davis - does that name ring a bell? You mention watching your team, and the best youngster produced! What happened to him? Who was it? Where is he now? Channon?

With all the money received from the above, and others whose names escape me, you still cannot attract investors or a manager, with Alan Shearer being the latest to distance himself from his old stamping ground!

When I go to football, I go to watch PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL, PLAYED BY A TEAM OF PREMIER QUALITY. I do not go to admire the architecture! If that is your thing, good luck! Enjoy! On saturday you would have had the choice of over 10,000 empty seats from which to admire the building! Probably a better sight than what was on display! In Freefall without the benefit of a parachute!

Yes you are selling because you are skint,your owner wants out asap. If you were not skint,why sell a 9million pound player for a fraction of that price. Why wait until you have sold that player,in order to replace him. Why lie about buying a player when infact it was only a loan,and you still have not brought him,check the fa website out. You are fooked,YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE LAND,and thats the bottom line. We will get investment, lets face it,if your shower of **** can get investment, fook me we are more than guaranteed investment, not if, but when. As for attracting managers your assistant managers, not a problem, we have already turned Joe Jordan DOWN. As for crowds dont even go there, check out the attendance at SMS and fratton park when both teams played at home a few weeks ago,let me remind you that Saints absolutely smashed your attendance, and you were giving free tickets away to the RN.

Hi Princess! Still 'Twitter and Bisted'!
Instead of believing your own clap trap, try reading what has been written by your colleagues, who appear to be more aware of the current situation at SMS than you are.
So our owner wants to sell asap because he is skint!
That is why he sold Benjani for less than he paid for Defoe. Diarra, Auben and Baros have also arrived to strengthen the team - not sent out on loan because we can't afford to pay their wages.
If you had a little knowledge, you would know that the process is quicker to register a loan deal than a transfer deal. Because of the time factor, Defoe was registered as a loan, then the transfer was compelted. No Lie, just knowledge.
We have not got the land! True! The club are currently in negotiation with MOD. I seem to recall that SFC tried for a number of sites before they were shunted to the gasworks site!
You will get investment! You were promised that investors would be found when Rupert got the bum's rush. They have been conspicuous by their absence!
You have turned Joe Jordan down!
IF YOU HAD, then that is another indication of your board's incompetence! I prefer to believe Joe Jordan, who has a better track record of telling the truth than your board of directors, when he says that he has never applied! (If he did, I doubt that SFC could cough up with the compensation!)
I have checked out the attendances. SFC regularly have 10,000+ unoccupied seats.
PFC may have, at max, 2000 unoccupied seats, mainly because a lot of fans think there will be a full house and they will not get tickets. Also, they know that, being a PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB, they will be able to see virtually all of the match on SKY Football First - for which PFC get a revenue, and which SFC lost when their parachute no longer opened!
Giving away tickets to the RN. Perhaps that has something to do with the proposed site of the new ground, and the current owners!
Average attendance! We cannot exceed the ground capacity. I can assure you, we have never had one third of our seats empty for a league game. As our record gate, when there were terraces, is 51,000+, I feel certain that, with the increase in population, we would have no trouble filling a 'state of the art' stadium that you boast of. We would do it because we have 'state of the art' footballers - which is what people come to see!
We are about Stains because of one thing, money! Correct! True! That's right! The money that SFC received in transfer fees over the years has evaporated, and you have nothing to show for it! Oh! The 'state of the art stadium' I hear you say! Surely that was financed by the sale of The Dell for housing, while SMS was built on an industrial site, unfit for housing - ie cheap!
PFC's money was spent on building a team - the reason we come to Fratton Park, the home of THE SOUTH COAST'S ONLY PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM!
You have a nice, new stadium with a 'rag-tag' bunch of journeymen players, who are taking the club downward instead of upwards.

If Pompey's honeymoon period is well and truly over, I guess that means we now settle down to live happily ever after.
SFC? Well, everything seems to be coming apart at the seams, so I guess that not only is the honeymoon over (if there was ever a marriage), you appear to be heading for an inevitable breakdown, with an appearance in the divorce courts (administration) a near certainty!

No wonder you are a Bitter Princess from Bittern!

Bittern:- Large wading marsh bird with a booming call!

Seems to sum you up Princess! Up to your knees in the brown and smelly, while making a lot of noise, but not a lot of sense!

SAD! SO VERY SAD!

Getting right under your skin, aint l Sam.

Bitter, no not me l only deal in facts,facts that you obviously do not want to hear.

Bitter,l bet you were one of the few-blue who smashed their own town up, not so long ago.

Thats being bitter.

what can we say but PLAY UP POMPEY

Goodnight Princess!
I just thought you should know that THE SOUTH COAST'S ONLY PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM are in Malaga, (Spain) for a break before their cup-tie on Sunday.
I just mentioned this because, actions speak louder than words! You don't take the team away for a break when you are skint.
Where has SFC gone?
Getting right under my skin? I have children of my own, so am used to juveniles being a pest.
I used to read them fairy stories, but they have grown out of that now. I must get them on here so that they can read your attempts.

Some Fairy! Some Stories!
