It's in the article, a typo for "campaign", I expect the Blue Phew to make errors like that but not the Echo!

A reasonable article, but why did you have to single Gazza out again?

It can't be denied that his mistakes have proved costly, but be fair, he has made some decent saves in those games as well.

It is just as likely that Davis or Boruc would also have made errors during those games that might also have led to goals going in and matches being lost.

Given that, then while the stark facts do show that Gazza's errors have cost us, the actual truth is that we could well have lost those games anyway, so why keep harping on about it in what is starting to look like a campaign to try to crush a young keeper who, potentially, has the makings of a top class number 1.

If anyone feels the need to abuse players until their confidence is crushed then perhaps they should switch to supporting Spurs. Their crowd are masters at doing that, (and very nearly stopped Gareth Bale from becoming the player he is now.)

COYR - TOGETHER as ONE

As you say, it can't be denied that his mistakes have proved costly and as it is still a very big talking point amongst fans, why shouldn't the Echo mention it?

What is questionable is your assertion that it is just as likely that Davis or Boruc would have made errors during those games.

On what do you base that opinion?
Are you not aware that for the last two seasons Davis was rated (by his own peers) the best goal keeper in the league he was playing in, something he would not have achieved if he was as error prone as Gaaza has been in the last 4 games.

Some people need to take a reality check and accept that Gazza has not yet even been called upon to make anything other than routine saves, saves that we would expect any other keeper at this level to make.

"That" save he made against Newcastle, although decent and important, was a routine save, for a top flight goal keeper.


I saw him make 3 routine saves, at Anfield, yet on each occasion the ball got away from him and ran free in front of his goal.
Potentially, he turned 3 routine saves into a Liverpool tap in, being rescued twice by his defenders.

In the same game, he allowed a long kick from Reina to bounce in the penalty area, almost level with the penalty spot, yet still allowed Suarez to get to the ball before him.
Look at the highlights and check out his "attempt" to get to the ball, or should that be his attempt not to get clattered by Suarez.

It was shockingly bad goal keeping.

If he is the best we have, then God knows what level Davis has sunk to to be considered inferior to him.

As for your comment about people abusing players, undermining their confidence, I am not abusing him.

I have looked at the facts and given my honest opinion, based on what I have seen him do.

Now it's up to him to prove me wrong.

We all want him to do well but he does appear a tad flaky. Maybe Kelv should be given a run. Why was Boruc brought in and why is he still around? He's crud.

I think pron is way too easily available these days. There was a certain romance about the old system whereby people used to just find it lying under a hedge in their local park. No one knows who put it there and the 'models' weren't always the best, but it made teenage boys think of women as being like magical sprites that just appeared with the morning mist and I think that gave us a lot more respect for women.

These days, your average nine-year-old is probably already bored by footage of ladies being made air-tight. It can hardly encourage them to respect their female counterparts as their intellectual and social equals.

I saw him make 3 routine saves, at Anfield, yet on each occasion the ball got away from him and ran free in front of his goal.
Potentially, he turned 3 routine saves into a Liverpool tap in, being rescued twice by his defenders.

In the same game, he allowed a long kick from Reina to bounce in the penalty area, almost level with the penalty spot, yet still allowed Suarez to get to the ball before him.
Look at the highlights and check out his "attempt" to get to the ball, or should that be his attempt not to get clattered by Suarez.

It was shockingly bad goal keeping.

If he is the best we have, then God knows what level Davis has sunk to to be considered inferior to him.

As for your comment about people abusing players, undermining their confidence, I am not abusing him.

I have looked at the facts and given my honest opinion, based on what I have seen him do.

Now it's up to him to prove me wrong.

Oh, looks like I've upset one of the Stepford Wives.

Perhaps when someone has told you what your opinion should be, (you know who I mean) you'll be able to explain it on here.

Strange how someone you and the other wives look up to (Seedhouse) voices similar concerns over Gazza, you all say nothing against him.

Is it because he's given some of you free access to Saints Hospitality in the past, and you don't want to queer it in the future?

It can't be denied that his mistakes have proved costly, but be fair, he has made some decent saves in those games as well.

It is just as likely that Davis or Boruc would also have made errors during those games that might also have led to goals going in and matches being lost.

Given that, then while the stark facts do show that Gazza's errors have cost us, the actual truth is that we could well have lost those games anyway, so why keep harping on about it in what is starting to look like a campaign to try to crush a young keeper who, potentially, has the makings of a top class number 1.

If anyone feels the need to abuse players until their confidence is crushed then perhaps they should switch to supporting Spurs. Their crowd are masters at doing that, (and very nearly stopped Gareth Bale from becoming the player he is now.)

As you say, it can't be denied that his mistakes have proved costly and as it is still a very big talking point amongst fans, why shouldn't the Echo mention it?

What is questionable is your assertion that it is just as likely that Davis or Boruc would have made errors during those games.

On what do you base that opinion?
Are you not aware that for the last two seasons Davis was rated (by his own peers) the best goal keeper in the league he was playing in, something he would not have achieved if he was as error prone as Gaaza has been in the last 4 games.

As you say, it can't be denied that his mistakes have proved costly and as it is still a very big talking point amongst fans, why shouldn't the Echo mention it? What is questionable is your assertion that it is just as likely that Davis or Boruc would have made errors during those games. On what do you base that opinion? Are you not aware that for the last two seasons Davis was rated (by his own peers) the best goal keeper in the league he was playing in, something he would not have achieved if he was as error prone as Gaaza has been in the last 4 games. Some people need to take a reality check and accept that Gazza has not yet even been called upon to make anything other than routine saves, saves that we would expect any other keeper at this level to make. "That" save he made against Newcastle, although decent and important, was a routine save, for a top flight goal keeper. I saw him make 3 routine saves, at Anfield, yet on each occasion the ball got away from him and ran free in front of his goal. Potentially, he turned 3 routine saves into a Liverpool tap in, being rescued twice by his defenders. In the same game, he allowed a long kick from Reina to bounce in the penalty area, almost level with the penalty spot, yet still allowed Suarez to get to the ball before him. Look at the highlights and check out his "attempt" to get to the ball, or should that be his attempt not to get clattered by Suarez. It was shockingly bad goal keeping. If he is the best we have, then God knows what level Davis has sunk to to be considered inferior to him. As for your comment about people abusing players, undermining their confidence, I am not abusing him. I have looked at the facts and given my honest opinion, based on what I have seen him do. Now it's up to him to prove me wrong.

Oh, looks like I've upset one of the Stepford Wives. Perhaps when someone has told you what your opinion should be, (you know who I mean) you'll be able to explain it on here. Strange how someone you and the other wives look up to (Seedhouse) voices similar concerns over Gazza, you all say nothing against him. Is it because he's given some of you free access to Saints Hospitality in the past, and you don't want to queer it in the future?

Why do you feel the need to be rude to people who disagree with you?

Stepford Wives, brilliant! That's a keeper!

Agree. Quote of the day or week. They are all clones, and are a bit dizzy, and totally controlled by you know who? Maybe they all get poisoned down the Joshua Tree pub every week. Haha The film was released in 1975, and would have played on to 1976. Brilliant!!!! When is Seed gonna nick their children, and their car keys?? Laughin my arse off here. Hahahahahahahaha

So who comprise the Stepford Wives? Bill,Valliety (odds on that they are same person!) Slugger, Rising, Mush, pup, Mack Chin, little hitler, saintshorse. Any more takers?

I am quite sure Nigel Adkins sees a lot more of Gazza in practice and knows his capabilities a lot better than his critics. The last thing he wants to do is to destroy his confidence and more power to Nigel for keeping the 20 year old in goal against Liverpool. At least the Echo is giving the lad credit for this
something the Echo needed to do.
People have been questioning why Tad Lee is conspicuously absent this season but the fact of the matter he has underperformed in practices
We all know that on form the Saints can take on anyone but they dont need so much of the negativity you read from both the Echo and posters who dont give credit to Adkins for what he is achieving and his faith in Gazza to become vour number one goalie.
Why do people have to put undue stress on Adkins & Gazza? Adkins is the best manager the club have had in years and we should all get behind him....sure he and Gazza will make mistakes but lets focus on their successes rather than the few mistakes they make.

You are dead right that we need to get behind the manager and the players - who ever gets picked - and we do.

Sacking Nigel would be a disaster for the club as we have debated at great length recently.

All some are questioning is whether playing a 20 year old in goal when we are scrapping at the bottom of the Prem the right thing to do?

IMO none of Nigel's signings are outstanding.
With £19m they could have bought 4 or 5 experienced quality players who combined with the stalwarts of the last two or three seasons and the academy youngsters, could have made a team fit for the PL and we would now be where West Ham are.
Unless NA and NC are prepared to accept that they need experienced advice in bringing in the right players and getting shot of the wrong ones we could have a repeat of bad signings in in January and I can't see Saints surviving.
Maybe Nigel is beginning to realise he can't survive for ever in the house that Alan built 3 years ago, without carrying out constant repair and renewal, taking the old and worn out to the tip and getting in new and better from Homebase.
Look how often Fergie visits the tip and Homebase.

By the way, never let the facts get in the way of your tedious rants. If you look at the squad when Adkins took over in 2010/11 (let's call this "Alan's squad) and look at today's squad (Let's call this Nigel's squad) then there were 35 players in Alan's squad, of whom 9 are left two years later. Hardly a man missing his trips down to Homebase or the tip, is it?

Source of squad info: http://en.wikipedia.

org/wiki/2010%E2%80%

9311_Southampton_F.C

._season

You must learn to make arguments that have some basis in reality, Tebourba, old chap.

You're so desperate to attack NA and NC that you don't even look at the facts, do you?

Looking forward to your next flight of fancy.

Afternoon, Bill!

I'm currently checking Solent Interiors out. I quote: 'credit rating is suspended' and 'This Company appears financially valueless.' They have £100 issued share capital and a negative net worth. Two of my friends own partitioning companies and another is an installer. None have heard of this company and question their ability to do a job of this quality. Theborer should check his facts before gobbing off.

And they'll then be left with no money to appeal the decision, whereas Chinny will. The road will then be cleared for Chinny to take back the club, and I should imagine all that will go brilliantly. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Given that, then while the stark facts do show that Gazza's errors have cost us, the actual truth is that we could well have lost those games anyway, so why keep harping on about it in what is starting to look like a campaign to try to crush a young keeper who, potentially, has the makings of a top class number 1.

As you say, it can't be denied that his mistakes have proved costly and as it is still a very big talking point amongst fans, why shouldn't the Echo mention it? What is questionable is your assertion that it is just as likely that Davis or Boruc would have made errors during those games. On what do you base that opinion? Are you not aware that for the last two seasons Davis was rated (by his own peers) the best goal keeper in the league he was playing in, something he would not have achieved if he was as error prone as Gaaza has been in the last 4 games. Some people need to take a reality check and accept that Gazza has not yet even been called upon to make anything other than routine saves, saves that we would expect any other keeper at this level to make. "That" save he made against Newcastle, although decent and important, was a routine save, for a top flight goal keeper. I saw him make 3 routine saves, at Anfield, yet on each occasion the ball got away from him and ran free in front of his goal. Potentially, he turned 3 routine saves into a Liverpool tap in, being rescued twice by his defenders. In the same game, he allowed a long kick from Reina to bounce in the penalty area, almost level with the penalty spot, yet still allowed Suarez to get to the ball before him. Look at the highlights and check out his "attempt" to get to the ball, or should that be his attempt not to get clattered by Suarez. It was shockingly bad goal keeping. If he is the best we have, then God knows what level Davis has sunk to to be considered inferior to him. As for your comment about people abusing players, undermining their confidence, I am not abusing him. I have looked at the facts and given my honest opinion, based on what I have seen him do. Now it's up to him to prove me wrong.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh, looks like I've upset one of the Stepford Wives. Perhaps when someone has told you what your opinion should be, (you know who I mean) you'll be able to explain it on here. Strange how someone you and the other wives look up to (Seedhouse) voices similar concerns over Gazza, you all say nothing against him. Is it because he's given some of you free access to Saints Hospitality in the past, and you don't want to queer it in the future?

Why do you feel the need to be rude to people who disagree with you?

Stepford Wives, brilliant! That's a keeper!

Agree. Quote of the day or week. They are all clones, and are a bit dizzy, and totally controlled by you know who? Maybe they all get poisoned down the Joshua Tree pub every week. Haha The film was released in 1975, and would have played on to 1976. Brilliant!!!! When is Seed gonna nick their children, and their car keys?? Laughin my arse off here. Hahahahahahahaha

So who comprise the Stepford Wives? Bill,Valliety (odds on that they are same person!) Slugger, Rising, Mush, pup, Mack Chin, little hitler, saintshorse. Any more takers?

I think there's only 4 of them. The others are sub clones.

Wahahhhhhaaa.

Bill = Velleity
Mush = Slugger
Angus - haven't sussed his out yet
Seed = Seventh day adventist - spaghetti junction of the mind
Puppy
Osprey = Don (He's quite cuddly though)

Are they gonna invite Village Bob..get it. Stepford Bob. Wahaha


Regular poisening down the Joshua Tree Pub.


WaaaHahahahaHAHAHAHA


HAHAHAHA

I don't need any more valium today. Waahahhahaha

A good list! Forgot about Angus. Osprey rules!

Sorry SO50. Tell me you still have control of your own mind. Please. I have discovered the HAHAH technique recently, and the task in hand today was a bit monotonous, so the HA's have taken over. I got the technique from Sheila, and Seventh Junction aka Seed Its great for the soul WOAHH HAHAHAHAH Where have Stepford's 2,3,4 and 5 gone?

I offered him £1000 bet that I'm not The Realist but despite being too scared to take it he continues to insist that I am.

It's good that he admits that my posts as Return of The Seed are of a nicer tone. They are my only posts!

I don't understand all the support for NA and that is not to say I want him out; there is a lot to admire - the peformance against Newcstel was the best Saints performance in years reminiscient of Armstrong Keegan Moran et al. But our transfers business has been calamitous and the faith shown in this keeper who will continue to cost us points if selected can only be down to a lack of decisiveness.

It seems to me that if your partitioning friends are correct about Solent Interiors, then Cortese showed the same poor judgement in selecting them to do the contracting work as he did in wasting £19m in the transfer market.
If what you say about the finances of Solent Interiors is correct it makes me very sad, although I prefer to accept the word of their lawyer that they were a well maaged, profitable company.
Many good companies have gone to the wall and many good workers have been made redundant,causing their families to suffer, not because they were inefficient or lazy but because the shysters at the top of big companies refused to pay them on time.
In the case of that shyster Cortese, having to be taken to Court TWICE!
Anyone who condones the action of these shysters are as guilty as they are and IMO beneath content.
I hope you are never thrown out of work by the actions of the likes of shyster Cortese --- maybe if you were you would take a different view.
I may have my critics but at least I can distinguish between right and wrong, the Court decided TWICE Solent Interiors were RIGHT and shyster Cortese was WRONG and with right on my side I will never stop banging the drum exposing him for the shyster he is.

It's classic Echo 'reporting' tactics. They pick up on a talking point that gets divided opinions from the posters and they shoe-horn it into every article. That way more people post and their reader figures look better, which in turn improves their advertising revenue. They did it with the "Adkins might be sacked" talking point and wedged it into every article, and they'll do the same with Gazza until he's either dropped or some other controversial topic comes up. It's all about making money, not journalism.

I can assure you the debts shown by their last filed accounts are not going to be resolved by a £60k payment. You can accept the word of their lawyer or you can check them out yourself. If you don't have access to one of the credit checking companies online then go to Companies House and download their accounts for £1.

I have my reservations about the way NC handles certain things - one of my friends who was asked to do the refit the previous summer pulled out after a few meetings as he could see where it was going - but I can also see and appreciate the great things he has achieved.

Your view is not balanced. You see no good in the man despite back to back promotions, smashing our transfer record twice and investing very heavily in our youth academy. I have not seen investment like that in SFC before.

Ah, how can you claim to be fair minded when you posted this before the Newcastle game:

"I hope the Geordies' depleted side stuff Cortese, for Alan, MLT, Solent Interiors, the ex programme sellers and all the other decent people Cortese has sh*t on!"

That, I'm afraid, is just bile and hatred, wishing for the team you purport to support to lose in pursuit of your obsessive hatred of one man.

They will continue to pour out their four letter personal abuse -- which shows the low level of their intelligence and is like water off a duck's back to me.

It is so ridiculous those that bash Gazza. and blame him for points lost. Yes he did make a mistake against Norwich but he also made some excellent saves against both QPR and Newcastle ,games that we might have lost had he not not performed well.
I am quite sure Nigel Adkins sees a lot more of Gazza in practice and knows his capabilities a lot better than his critics. The last thing he wants to do is to destroy his confidence and more power to Nigel for keeping the 20 year old in goal against Liverpool. At least the Echo is giving the lad credit for this
something the Echo needed to do.
People have been questioning why Tad Lee is conspicuously absent this season but the fact of the matter he has underperformed in practices
We all know that on form the Saints can take on anyone but they dont need so much of the negativity you read from both the Echo and posters who dont give credit to Adkins for what he is achieving and his faith in Gazza to become vour number one goalie.
Why do people have to put undue stress on Adkins & Gazza? Adkins is the best manager the club have had in years and we should all get behind him....sure he and Gazza will make mistakes but lets focus on their successes rather than the few mistakes they make.

It's true,my earlier post about the "realist " working for the portsmouth news.the more posts and responses from the punters, leads to more revenue from advertising and allows the news to up the price of any advertisment that runs on that site.

I have this on good authority.

Ah, how can you claim to be fair minded when you posted this before the Newcastle game:

"I hope the Geordies' depleted side stuff Cortese, for Alan, MLT, Solent Interiors, the ex programme sellers and all the other decent people Cortese has sh*t on!"

That, I'm afraid, is just bile and hatred, wishing for the team you purport to support to lose in pursuit of your obsessive hatred of one man.

tebourba Is a skate mush,he posts to get reaction.he's found a subject that
garners that response,so he just recyles the same old sh!t day after day.
It's all garbage,he knows that.he gets off on the reponses. In other words he winding people up.

I'm not so sure.

It's only recently that he's developed his mental illness (I'm serious) that manifests itself as an irrational hatred of Nicola Cortese. Before that he was just a slightly self-important twit who thought he was perfect.

I know he isn't perfect (because I AM perfect, so I know everything - ask Mrs Velleity).

He was once a Saints fan and will be once again if he ever takes my advice and sees his GP about his problems. Once he stops seeing everything as black or white, perfect or horrific, he'll begin again to see the beauty in the world and particularly in the Saints.

I must take one of my tablets now.

I wonder, if he weighed up the pros and cons, whose side Jesus would be on --- NC's or mine?? --- clearly not NC's --- otherwise Saints wouldn't be second from rock bottom!!

I think we are better than Reading and QPR. We need to find another one to be better than and there are some good candidates with Villa, Wigan and Sunderland. I think we'll do it.

Velleity, please can you trawl through a few recent threads and find my original reference? I can't be 4rsed.

Who knows, I might even be able to sue the g!ts under some obsure copyright law.

I think the Trust bid is dead in the water. They're realising the best fans in the world have basically lied to them about how much money they could afford to pledge and now they're absolutely shittting themselves about a court case they can't afford in which the judge will more than likely set a price for the stadium they can't afford to pay. And they'll then be left with no money to appeal the decision, whereas Chinny will.

The road will then be cleared for Chinny to take back the club, and I should imagine all that will go brilliantly.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Seed house the unrepentant --- thanks for your response to my posting.
It seems to me that if your partitioning friends are correct about Solent Interiors, then Cortese showed the same poor judgement in selecting them to do the contracting work as he did in wasting £19m in the transfer market.
If what you say about the finances of Solent Interiors is correct it makes me very sad, although I prefer to accept the word of their lawyer that they were a well maaged, profitable company.
Many good companies have gone to the wall and many good workers have been made redundant,causing their families to suffer, not because they were inefficient or lazy but because the shysters at the top of big companies refused to pay them on time.
In the case of that shyster Cortese, having to be taken to Court TWICE!
Anyone who condones the action of these shysters are as guilty as they are and IMO beneath content.
I hope you are never thrown out of work by the actions of the likes of shyster Cortese --- maybe if you were you would take a different view.
I may have my critics but at least I can distinguish between right and wrong, the Court decided TWICE Solent Interiors were RIGHT and shyster Cortese was WRONG and with right on my side I will never stop banging the drum exposing him for the shyster he is.

Baddesley Bill --- thanks for pointing out my error as to Saints' position in the league, I accept I was wrong and that Saints are third from bottom and not second from bottom as I stated.
However my postings regarding NA and NC's inexperience in the transfer market, by IMO wasting £19m signing two overrated players, who we didn't need and didn't want, met with little opposition, even from the Happy Clappers.
I can only conclude that most posters on here, agree with me, that the £19m would have been far better spent on an experienced goalkeeper and 3 or 4 good midfielders /defenders.
I think Redknapp is a shyster of the highest order and the farther he stays away from SMS the better but IMO NA and NC could learn a lot from him in the transfer market.
Many posters criticise Nigel for his choice and timing of substitutions which seems to bear out my point that if Nigel has difficulty in choosing who to take off and bring on during 90 minutes, to strenghthen the team, what confidence can he engender among supporters as to his decisions who to sign and who to sell over a whole season?
I hope I am wrong but NA and NC's inexperience in spotting weaknesses in the team and signing good players to ill them, could prove to be Saints undoing this season.
January and the following couple of months will determine this one way or the other.

As far as the thread is concerned, we seem to have a general concensus of opinion that we are better than Reading at the moment, Saturday will be the judge of that, it will need all of whoever is picked, to be on their mettle, there is no way that Reading will roll over, if we can score early, just for once go for the throat, keep hitting them until they realise that we are not going to be beaten. Just for once avoid those silly errors and we can do it. COME ON YOU REDS, IT IS YOUR TURN FOR MORE GLORY, if you pardon the expression.

I skimmed over the mockery and abuse to my postings, it is a well known fact that people, particularly those not blessed with much grey matter, resort to this when losing an argument.
Strange though that few posters if any have disagreed, with my view that the £19m spent on two players was money down the drain.
Reading the truth often hurts ---- sorry Happy Clappers!

I agree with Veillety - if you do take his earlier advice, then take a copy of this, and your other communique's to your GP and explain to him that you think you have garnered an avid readership that keeps correcting you.

You do need help.
