The fact that Walter K and SaintsLegend (what a misuse of a login) don't even comment when we win sums them up. As soon as we lose again they'll be back.

I've watched it twice now. Funny how we were better the second time. Or was it simply because was a lot less nervous?


Whatever, great result. Fantastic future.

The season started today and the only way is up. All we need now is a left back and some more cover at centre back. Well done for the Nigel Atkins chants today and the guy with the Uraguayan flag.....

Great second half and credit to NA for whatever he said to the players at half time.
Good news is that all new signings are proving better than players who have lost out which is how it should be, so lets hope Boroc also proves to be the business. Now all we need is a big CB and LB and squad is complete for now. However I still think the best addition would be a top Assistant Manager/Coach to give NA better help and support.
Now lets build on the first win, 'Come On You Red & White Pin-Stripes'

Two new defenders and we have a very good team, only pity is that NC didn't see it last May, had he done so and we would now be in mid -table as we would have certainly beaten Wigan.
Credit to NC, Gaston seems a very good player.
Glad for NA's sake that we he has a very good win under his belt, no more than he deserves. COYR!

NCfan4life, Agree with your post except the signing of an assistant manager. Nigel and Andy have been together for a long time and with the help of Dean Wilkins i think that they are the best thing since sliced bread at this moment in time for S F C.

Good to think that we are discussing back room staff cos little elso to pick up on as NC & NA make progress.
My point with a top assistant for NA is someone with top tactical knowledge to help/advise him.
I just think that until he has gained a couple of years experience at this level he could do with extra tactical support as he has made the wrong call at times this season.

Couple of Examples:- v Wigan - changed shape leaving hole behind strikers so Martinez filled the space so, result was would couldn't get possession then didn't change it back. Also, v Man Utd - You don't take off three of your best performing players when you are only 2-1 up especially with players of less ability and put no-one on Paul Scholes so, result was loosing the game.
However the train is getting back on track and picking up steam again ! Come on you Red and White Pin-Stripes !!

Wonderful performance yesterday...a real team effort in which everyone played a part. interesting to see we have signed an other Polish goalie. Felt bad for Biakowski when he became surplus to requirements. I am in the process of moving and it was quite a coincidence to find out that my Polish landlord's closest family friends are the Biakowski's. Great to see he is doing so well for Notts County who are 2nd in Division as he was number 2 to Kelvin for a long time and blew it when he let in a howler against Blackpool

Puncheon just wanted to play in the Prem, he's got his wish and enjoying himself. I remember Pardew saying that he could become a cult hero when signing him, he could be right but there are 4 or 5 other contenders now as well!
I think that Jose had a better game because of Maya, the guy just inspired confidence to others around with his cool head.
Fox will get a chance at redemption, Nigel doesn't discard without a very good reason and he has kept faith by and large.
Who are we going to play in the front 6? Who could you drop from yesterday to give a game to Jayrod, Tad, JWP, Chappers etc and the list is quite a few more.
Is Nathaniel the best young right back playing at left back, playing in his other best position? Could he do centre back too?
On tuesday we will see the lads who didn't get a game today and it will still be a string team as they will all be hoping to impress Nigel to get in the main team.
And three good goalies and a young one for the future.
What a time to be a Saints fan.

Tebourba.
A smug g1t if ever I saw one.
Yes we all knew what was required, Saints did bid for the next big goalie, remember? I think you said he was overpriced. Well that was the asking price and no one bought him, he is still at Brum(0-5).We watched Gazza since Jan when the first contact was made with Gillingham, reported on several sites and copied and pasted by me and one or two others.
Amongst other suggestions was 3 centre backs, we bought the Japanese captain.
We needed two full backs, got the current U21 right back and MUFC outbid us on the left back! Although we currently have the Scotland Left back doing his best.
We also have in our development squad a full back that Arsenal covet and a centre back who is playing very well thank you.
The whole idea of a development squad is that you develop your own players and integrate to the first team.
Any more comments from yourself about how blindingly brilliant you are compared to us mere mortals will be gratefully torn to shreds.

I thangyou !

The two defenders we buy, would you like to tell us which current two you are going to discard?
Where do you propose we buy them from?
And what model are you supposing we follow, the Liverpool one? They have 6 international defenders and have had 10 goals scored against them.
I am glad that Nigel has "supporters" like yourself to wake him up, because I am certain that he is not spending nearly enough time at our games watching his team, or the training ground , to know what exactly he needs in the way of improvements.
If the club advertises for a scout to find us these mysterious replacements that only you know of, will you apply for the job?
KD was given a chance, that is what a manager of men does, rectify if needed. If you want loyalty then you have to give it too!
As for untried goalie, I think you will find that Petr Cech was once untried, come to that everybody was once untried and the only way to get experience is to play.
Bit of a conundrum that isn't it ?
Four straight losses, to the top three teams and a bad day.
Liverpool same goal difference and the money they spent?
Rodgers also needs your help because he hasn't noticed that he hasn't got any strikers.
Hindsight? brilliant ! wish I had known we would concede one goal first half and score four in the second half, I would have had a proper bet instead of my lousy 3 - 1 ruined in the last minute by that b4astrd Ricky.

I had a bet on 3-1 Saints but through the magic of Betfair on my phone, I managed to close the bet out after 85 minutes, as I thought another goal was certain, so I still won.

No skill from me, by the way. The original scoreline prediction and decision to close out were both made by my 10-y-o son who, bizarrely, expects some kind of payment for making his dad £30.

Paulo Gazzaniga I thought looked very confident, positioned himself well and I'm afraid you missed the point that thanks to his tying his laces and fiddling with his gloves just when the four minutes of added time had about expired, the ref added a bit more time during which we won the penalty to make it 4!
Only danger is the way he and Gaston, his neighbour from the other side of the River Plate, seem to be chummy together, if they succeed with us we may have to give them the Falklands-Malvinas back!

By the way, Osprey Saint, why is it you support us and not the Swans? (perhaps you do, but Osprey rugby!)

Gazza wasn't exactly stretched, one very good save from Bent, better distribution perhaps, but surely not the only reason that we got a result I am thinking.

Osprey you must know a goalies role in defence ?
he organises his defenders he catches the ball not thumping it straight to the opposite side.
I stated we needed to change our defence & I suggested replacing the Keeper.
he has put in his new players & replaced the Keeper but for the sloppy Villa goal what I've said has been vindicated.
From what I've seen up to this weekend you would still have a weakness in defence if you hadn't changed Keepers.
didn't we get one of our defenders from Celtic?

Where's Thomas Upton when you need him too??!!!??!!!!

Come on Tom, try saying something postive. I know it sticks in your throat & we are not worthy because you are a Season Ticket holder, but just try it for once.

You never know, you might actually enjoy it. Hold on though, sorry Tom - I forgot, you don't like being told when to "stand up & clap" do you?

using some of the powers of hindsight that i have stolen from Tebourba, hallowed be thy name, i am going to make a prediction or two. i predict that saints will sign a polish keeper after the villa game, i also predict that john (im as honest as the day is long) terry will retire from int football! wow i know thats a strong prediction but my hindsight is powerful!
just a quick note to our very own russell grant (yes you Tebourba) NC does not pick the team! Nigel Adkins is the manager! seems strange you cant tell them apart! and could you please quantify your statements that KD "is over the hill" you have said this before and i`ve told you there are other keepers in the prem older than him who are doing a great job! over the hill would mean you think hes to old! Boruc is only 3 years younger. if you think KD is not good enough then say so!
the reason you get so much abuse from so many on here is that you come across as a sanct1monious g1t!
perhaps if you tried being positive for a change instead of picking faults with the team or formations or the management, and then telling us all how great you are for being the only one who sees it, perhaps then people might not call you names and have a go at you! you may realize that one day but then hindsight is a wonderful thing!

A very good result for us today,maybe it will shut up those fools saying Nigel has to go. There was 30,000 supporters showing just what it means to have Nigel as our manager in the stadium today. The boys showed that they can be a force in this league. Anyone thinking they wll pick up three easy points at ST MARY'S better think again.

Gaston,puncheon, adam, Davis, Yosida ,Lambert are just a few that made it a great day to be a SAINTS FAN. I wonder what rock the skunts have crawled back under, we don't often get this much time to ourselves on this forum. Out of the bottom three and i feel this is where we will start to climb higher up the table. t seemed

We have now signed an international goalkeeper which should give us more solidarity in defence. Where are all the skunts that are on here most days telling us were going down??

Seriously though...I have heard noone asking for Nigel's head. This is just media stirring things up - or one newspaper. I have not come across one fan saying that. So noone to shut really

I do hope that if manosussex shows his face on here again that people won't keep reminding him of that statement, again and again until he admits defeat and jumps off the Spinnaker. That would be awful.

Looked on U tube at the new goalie.
He looks the business.
He also appears to have a bit of attitude.
Had a right go at one of his Celtic defenders.
Good to see he's in charge, in his 6 yard box, and to tell them when he has too.
Looks like Rickie will be out of a job too, he takes a mean penalty.

Great result Saturday bring on Shef Wed on Tuesday to give Saints second premier league side a run out.
Good luck to all going to Everton on Sat.

Well changed the keeper & win well done

That doesn't make a great deal of sense, but I think you are insinuating that it was the dropping KD that ensured us a win, nothing to do with the new blokes then? Gazza wasn't exactly stretched, one very good save from Bent, better distribution perhaps, but surely not the only reason that we got a result I am thinking.

Osprey you must know a goalies role in defence ?
he organises his defenders he catches the ball not thumping it straight to the opposite side.
I stated we needed to change our defence & I suggested replacing the Keeper.
he has put in his new players & replaced the Keeper but for the sloppy Villa goal what I've said has been vindicated.
From what I've seen up to this weekend you would still have a weakness in defence if you hadn't changed Keepers.
didn't we get one of our defenders from Celtic?

Whatever, great result. Fantastic future.

Me too, did you notice what steward number 045 called Clyne after he went over to the crowd after he scored ?.
It looked like is started with TW and ended in AT.
I think Cortese should be having a word.

Anyone asking for NA's head must be mad, he is the best coach Saint's have had since Ted Bates and LMcM.
In fact, the modest, professional way in which he conducts himself, is in my humble opinion, better than TB and LMcM's.
NA is a credit to Saints and to his profession, just compare him with the likes of Redknapp and Big Sam!
The day he leaves Saints, hopefully not until he retires from the game, will be a very sad day for the club.
He accepted the applause and suppport of the fans on Saturday (I was happy to join in) with typical good grace.
All to often Clubs sack their managers when the problem lies elsewhere in the management structure, classic examples are Lowe of Sothampton, Bates of Chelsea and the fool at Leeds who got rid of Cloughie after 41 days!

Tom : Nigel made perfectly rational decisions that didn't come off. Any other time they would have been hailed genius.. Scholes changed the game for Manure. The boo brigade are too quick to slag and some just don't want to wait and see. Most of the positive regulars here said wait and see where we are after ten games.

That was only the first game we've had after a week together at the training ground.. Gaston Ramirez was bought to bring class to the team that the young players can learn and feed off. That is the kind of fore-thought the new era has at SFC.

Just look for positives in things and hold off on the negatives and you'll love Saints all the more.. Fact is Saints are not the easiest team in the world to stay pos about so those that can are very strong fans indeed.

UTS friends neg and pos together.. we are Southampton
