Redknapp set for worst welcome ever
8:00am Friday 1st March 2013 in Sport
By Simon Carter, Sports Editor
HARRY REDKNAPP
HARRY Redknapp will be greeted with a crescendo of abuse when he makes his St Mary’s return.
The QPR manager will receive the worst welcome ever afforded to a former Saints boss by home supporters tomorrow.
But fans are being urged to make sure they channel their anger towards Redknapp in a positive way – by creating the loudest St Mary’s atmosphere of the season for what is a crucial Premier League clash.
Redknapp is making his first return to Saints as an opposing manager since he controversially walked out on the club to rejoin arch rivals Pompey in early December 2005.
The seven years and three months since have done little to improve Redknapp’s standing in the eyes of a large amount of Saints followers.
“Redknapp’s reception tomorrow will be akin to the new pope making his first public appearance at a Glasgow Rangers home game,” quipped Nick Illingsworth, who runs the Uglier Inside fans website.
“I don’t know one person who thinks he did a good job during his time at Saints.
“Of all the managers we’ve had, I can think of only two who have polarised opinion to the extent that nobody has a good word to say about them.
“One is Harry Redknapp and the other is Ian Branfoot.
“With Glenn Hoddle, half of the fans don’t like him for the way he left us, but half think he did a great job here.
“Most of the fans I speak to blame Harry Redknapp for taking us down in 2005.
“He had a squad of over 20 players who were tried and tested in the Premier League.
“He should have been able to pick a squad each week to keep us up.
“After we won at Middlesbrough in the March, we were out of the bottom three. There were enough chances left after that to stay up.
“Hopefully we can use Redknapp’s return tomorrow positively to create a great atmosphere.
“Boo him when he appears before the start, but there’s no point keeping up a constant barrage of abuse throughout the game.
“The fans need to get behind the team to start with, as this is a big game for both clubs.
“There will be a lot of tension, as QPR are in the last chance saloon.
“They will have to come out with all guns blazing, and hopefully that will play into our hands.”
Illingsworth added: “It’s not just that Redknapp took us down, it was also that he left us to go back to Pompey.
“The only way he won’t be the most unpopular man at St Mary’s is if Redknapp appoints Ian Branfoot as his assistant!”

Will it end with pleasure and relief or disappointment and frustration? A hard win or a limp failure?
Getting up is one thing; staying up is quite another - and it's the nagging uncertainty that affects me more than anything.
Still, I must admit I'm like this on the 1st day of every month when the missus affords me my regular legover.
And the anxiety is only magnified when on top of all the above unease, I'm fretting about the result of a big Saints match as well.

Need to start getting back to winning ways and anything less than a win Saturday is not satisfactory.
QPR will be up for it though and the booing may work in their favour if we don't settle down with some early goal(s) from our pressure. Punch must start as he run them riot at their turf!
3-1 Saints!

Dear Mozzy
You will have seen 'arry's comments about tomorrow: "I'll have my back line well drilled and my wide men testing the pressing defenders."
This is deliberate distraction. You will have noticed 'arry has said nothing about his hole.
If 'arry puts Samba in his hole things could get painfully congested, but if instead Taarabt is inserted, things will be far more free-flowing.
After only ten minutes last week with Samba in place, 'arry's hole looked very messy and sorely disjointed.When he removed Samba and put in Taarabt it was a bit sloppy but much more comfortable.
Anyhow Moz, the point is if 'arry puts Samba in his hole, I'd like to see Gaston in yours. If 'arry has Taarabt in his hole, deffo put Adam in yours.

. I dug mine out this morning but it had no pins in it and I haven't been able to find any round the house either.
Anyhow, I haven't got time to be sticking pins in it all day today, so, using an elastic band, I have attached it to the mirror in the cage of my budgie, Gregory.
He's very agitated as he really likes his mirror because there isn't much to do in his cage all day - and so he's been pecking 'arry's face to bits.
If 'arry is on the telly today and you notice he shows any discomfort in the facial area (eg as if it's being pecked by a budgie), this will give testimony to the enduring quality of my merchandise.

Just asked my old man who was the best player he remembers seeing play for QPR, he says Stan Bowles, I say Sir Les Ferdinand. I don’t have any malice towards QPR as a football club (Harry excluded).
In a perfect world, I’d like to see Villa, Stoke and Wigan relegated.

They are as appetising on the eye and palette as kangaroo’s gonads or emu scrotum.
Talking of which, what is Christopher Biggins doing these days?
Talking of gonads, sweet dreams Harry.
Every time I hear his name now I just remember that interview with a French accent, fookn hilarious!
He made himself a complete tw@t and a you-tube star all at once!

If you reckon 4-0 then fair enough !!!
One thing for sure is I will not get distracted by 'Arry. Let's not make out this is a DERBYgame that ends is a STERILE DRAW.
WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON.
ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE 3 POINTS.
Final Tweak needed by Mauricio on the back line and WE GET THE WIN.
Regarding THE KING ALFRED - that has history as a MAJOR RED ARMY BASE and is popular on Match Days
Let's hope that some-one / some-where (with money) is pulling the right strings to get the Pub re-opened and retaining its name.
WE DEMAND SUCCESS AND THE WIN TOMORROW.
COME ON RICKIE !!!
RF/RED ARMY 2013 COYR
WE FIGHT. WE WIN.
P.S WE H8 POMPEY.
**** OFF 'ARRY.

I don't like doggy brown paper bags Harry. Saints and MP will finish their season of for them tomorrow!
But I dislike Nick more! Why do you DE keep thinking this idiot speaks for Saints fans. Is it the only number in your phone book he sent some time back to find a fans opinion?
Pratt Nick dose not speak for me!
I actually find some of Nicks pieces very good, he post's well balanced articles, he also has an in-depth knowledge of the club and has been a fan (home and away) for the best part of 45 years.
Calling him an idiot and pratt because you have misunderstood the article is a cheap shot.

I have e mailed Mauricio as follows with my advice on the most critical issue tomorrow.......
Dear Mozzy
You will have seen 'arry's comments about tomorrow: "I'll have my back line well drilled and my wide men testing the pressing defenders."
This is deliberate distraction. You will have noticed 'arry has said nothing about his hole.
If 'arry puts Samba in his hole things could get painfully congested, but if instead Taarabt is inserted, things will be far more free-flowing.
After only ten minutes last week with Samba in place, 'arry's hole looked very messy and sorely disjointed.When he removed Samba and put in Taarabt it was a bit sloppy but much more comfortable.
Anyhow Moz, the point is if 'arry puts Samba in his hole, I'd like to see Gaston in yours. If 'arry has Taarabt in his hole, deffo put Adam in yours.
Cheers mate, Confucious.
PS Sainsbury's own label tinned corned beef is 29p per 100g cheaper than Fray Bentos. Do you think I should switch to Sainsbury?
