African Cup may cost Saints their striker
7:00am Monday 15th October 2012 in Sport
By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
Mayuka
SAINTS are likely to be without striker Emmanuel Mayuka for up to a month later this season, after he helped Zambia qualify for the African Cup of Nations.
The 21-year-old, below, was part of the side that won a dramatic play-off with Uganda at the weekend to book a place in the finals.
The tournament is scheduled to run from January 19 to February 10, in South Africa, meaning Saints could be without Mayuka’s services for an extended period of time in the new year.

I understand that the whole team plus the manager are on a learning stage but how much longer will it take them by the end on this month we will be around 1/4 through the Prem program and we will need as some have said around 50 points to stay up would hate to see us take a drop back now but any way good luck Mayuka hope he and his team wins good luck COYR's

I haven't got a Mayuka shirt yet as I know very little about Africa and frankly what I have heard isn't great. For a start I certainly wouldn't put a bet on an African match because I heard on Radio 4 the place is full of cheetahs.

He was an acrobat on tour with the Chinese National Circus. Anyhow, one of the circus lions, Haitai, escaped and they chased after it only to find it was on a huge plain with about 300 other lions - and they couldn't tell which one was Haitai. Anyhow, cut a long story short, they picked the wrong one and two days later it ate Guan.
I did say to Auntie Elspeth, jokingly, that I bet a few days earlier Guan had called a witch doctor a w@nker.
No laugh - I was just told off for being dismissive and condescending about Africa.
Huh - that's aunties for you.

The game against wet spam will be an acid test.
Their supporters think we have a thing about them like reading
WRONG ANSWER
WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM !!
WE JUST WANT TO COME BACK TO THE SOUTH COAST WITH 3 POINTS.
There is no way we should let in a goal against wet spam - and at the very worst just one goal.
WE MUST PUT IN A FIGHTING PERFORMANCE TO WIN THIS GAME
If we let in our average of 3 goals against the championship wet spam punching above their weight - then we have serious problems.
THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
WE ARE THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON.
We took all 3 points from millwall last year and we will do the same to wet spam this year.

the MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON need to guarantee their position in the Premier League for season after season to make progress with an increase in Stadium Capacity.
SAINTS FANS are passionate about the success of the club.
That is why there can be no excuses for not picking up points in our next game.

He will never get picked before Guly anyway, its a joke.

It was a wonderful piece of engineering and would have been a great success if the price of copper hadn't collapsed.
Pity the Chinese didn't build Dar's new airport back in the '80s. The Tanzanian's gave that job to the French and, within minutes of its opening, it managed to blow Dar's entire electrical supply.

we knew this could happen when we brought him. This is why we brought in lots of attacking options.
the bus may have had problems starting this year, but if we the fans help out and give it a push, instead of moaning about the driver, then our journey up the league will be back on track.

Tenerife's northern airport was built by German engineer's following Spanish order's..back to front I know...

21 year old Manu playing international football and can't get a run in the first team.
Keeping an eye on our U18,U21 and you will see some real good footballers , just ask Arsenal about them, they are at most of our youth games!
JWP has impressed every one with his mature play and everyone is asking when Luke Shaw is going to get in the team.
Cup game last month was a good showcase for the talent we have sitting and waiting.
Males me wonder why everyone keeps asking why we haven't spent money for some of the dross with"PL experience", not all experience is good.

Not a lot wrong.
I would like to have won more games, but everyone said it would be an extremely difficult start and it was.
It is only the doomngloom that were always gonna be a problem who are grizzling.
No big surprise there.
I suggest you back this up with a few facts, you know, like who told you and when and why.
No pressure
Just with the next ten minutes.
Without facts it is just you stirring sh!t as usual.

Was just stating that even Fergie would struggle if he did not have financial backing.
In our case it was ML cash not NC money.
NC has got greedy, look at the prices being charged for hospitality, crazy money and half empty.
What about all the loyal workers at St Marys who have lost their jobs? Paid a pittance but just discarded.
We are in danger of losing that "special " arrangement unique to Saints FC.
The people looking at the club are north American, maybe even Canadian, so I am informed.
Watch this space.

Was just stating that even Fergie would struggle if he did not have financial backing.
In our case it was ML cash not NC money.
NC has got greedy, look at the prices being charged for hospitality, crazy money and half empty.
What about all the loyal workers at St Marys who have lost their jobs? Paid a pittance but just discarded.
We are in danger of losing that "special " arrangement unique to Saints FC.
The people looking at the club are north American, maybe even Canadian, so I am informed.

As I said, just sh!t stirring.
No loyal workers have been sacked at SMS.
Same prices in hospitality that all other clubs charge, sometimes lower.
There is a shortage of money everywhere, unless you have a money tree in your back garden?
Please just shut up !
Getting very fed up with no neck losers like you sticking daggers into MY football club.
Support the Saints, do you know how to do that?
Do not try the usual tactic of accusing me of blind faith either, just produce some real facts and then I will listen.
Till then take a hike.

I was amazed at the animals that were caged there.
This was at the height of footie violence but I was astounded that creatures like that existed.
I also worked at Canal Wharf when it was being built and saw a discussion between WHU + Millwall, unbelievable!
And yet when I went to a game there about 3 years ago, I was made welcome and had quite a good chat in a pub with several fans. Might be different if we had been playing them though!
Have a nice day and come back with all the points.

I've heard a rumour that the Liebherrs have put up £2Bn for the club to spend on players.

Five of us walking from Pub to St Mary's on Sunday straw-polled the 2-2 result-but maybe not the manner of it.
Also two of us mouthed the words 'here we go' before the crossfield balls that led to Fulham's two goals, and we're only humble fans, so I'm sure Nigel saw it.
Also, for what it's worth...we all think we'll be allright this season, and that without the aforesaid hindsight, we'd have taken that before the season started. Europe and proper Saints Stripes will have to wait a bit longer, that's all.
