Our boy Declan

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Moyes needs to encourage him more to have a shot..when he runs at players with the ball its like watching a Ferrari eating up the ground the control the pace he is just lacking the belief to keep going take a shot do not stop and look for a silly sideways pass.....Nothing much needs to be said really we all know just how good he is just like i say needs to be encouraged more by Moyes and the coaching staff because he is a very very special player indeed.

BFS bad loser or what

Laying into Antonio because he cannot handle the Truth...Ants never even said anything bad at all...Thought you had a thick skin Sam apparently not...and touting for a job on sky how pathetic can you get....i hope it is the last we ever hear of him....he and Lawro could always start a chat show! that would make anyone want to go out to work...Bitter and twisted or what.

Bit of perspective

Submitted by Betty Swollox on

I wasn’t a massive Moyes fan, more from his days at Everton and although results were good they weren’t that pretty on the eye. Not quite Allardice but close. However I have to say what’s grown on me is this cohesion and winning mentality. It’s so strong that we expect the team to win every week. This season has been remarkable in that Moyes’ has managed to get blood from a stone. If you look at yesterday and the personnel, we’re fairly average. The Czech boys have been brilliant but they aren’t world beaters. Lingard is a decent top 6 player or sub, Ogbonna is the wrong side of 30, Dawson is a really good Champs player as is Bowen, Fornals is ok but inconsistent and Antonio bless him is another Wanchope. Apart from Rice none of our players would get into the teams above us. So be thankful people it could’ve been a relegation battled season again. We’ve had an amazing run, we’re still mathematically in with a chance of top 4 with 2 games to go, I’d have taken that at the start.

Realistic transfer targets please

Yup thats where we need to be going and buying not at the big named over inflated over rated places.

Toney/Loftus Cheek maybe Cairney/Armstrong not outstanding individuals but good team players but much more importantly realistic players who we could afford and not pie in the sky £35/50 million players who as we know can be just as bad as any in lower leagues,Batshuai thank goodness we never got him even after we kept trying 2/3 times to loan as well.

So boys who are your realistic targets?

Forget signing Lingard

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Controversial maybe but as brilliant as he has been for us for me it will only ever be a short term thing.....he had something to prove and a point to make which he has done remarkably well but will it continue? i am not so sure and financially would it be a good deal in these current times? forget Europe because that is not the money spinner everyone thinks it is unless of course you are in the champs league....for me as a Cameo he has been unbelievable but i just do not see it lasting IMO...so a big thank you Mr Lingard but for me as a permanent signing i think not but that is only my opinion many others would say i am mad and of course they are entitled to but at the end of the day its Moyes the money men and of course the player himself to make the decision.

The Southampton Ballot

Submitted by Dartford Bhoy on

I have two season tickets and received the expected news that I wasn't lucky in the ballot for tickets for the last game of the season. I am really disappointed, loved to have been there even with a reduced gate, a few beers with bruv and mates, Honest Burger on the way home celebrating a win and Champions League football next season... Ok, maybe not the last point :o)

Just wondering, does anyone on The Org know anyone with a ticket? It looks like a Corporate Ticket stitch up and probably heading for the Popcorn munching Tour Operators (65 will love that :o) )

I have a few pals with tickets ranging from the cheap to the over priced Club London's and none were "Lucky".

Would love to hear of a genuine fan getting a ticket, the cynic in me says there wont be many!!

Womens Team Manager

Submitted by Bondsy on

Early on last year I posted on the Womens Team Manager Matt Beard, a good record but lacking in respect for the women he managed imo. Constant F words which even surprised me when watching Jack Sullivan,s program that saw the Ladies get to the FA Cup final. Not impressed at all with the way he spoke to them. Some really good summer signings in 2020 but poor results told me this man was not long for the job. Olli Harder was appointed in December 2020 and has kept them in the top womens super league, a bit like David Moyes kept us in the season before last. This guy is Norwegian and has a really good record in the Norwegian Womens league so just maybe he can do what Matt Beard failed to do.....without all the swearing and proper coaching. We have good players they just need good management and coaching to see them perform better next season. I will also now take my two young grandsons to watch them knowing I wont have to listen to foul language being shouted across the pitch.

Missing out on the champions lg

Submitted by Burkie1 on

You can sence a lot of pessimism around today after that result ,little bit of shock along with tinge of disappointment and a dollop of regret,but we've had a season like no other ,i woke up after some of those results and said " f##k it " ,poxy dreams.
We cant let this get the better of us ,we must maintain positive thoughts through the clossed season and start afresh next year,its not goin to be easy ,specially if we loose 1 or 2 players that we might be expecting to loose but we can do it all again and this time go all the way ,dont know about you but i felt great with all the comments about our journey to the top 4
