  There are so many incredibly knowledgeable subscribers to this forum - maybe you can tell me how an immensely talented Southampton FC managed to lose to an extremely average Middleborough FC without using as excuses that single poor decision by the referee and that single poor decision by a linesman?
  I am still seething over what IMO was another bad performance by Saints and no excuses.
  What in heaven's name is going on? The midfield seems to completely disappear on a regular basis leaving the strikers with bugger all to work on.
  I agree with who ever said it: Fonte has become something of a problem of late. Is he not properly fit or what?
  Doubtless the hard-line few will relish rounding on me for being 'disloyal' but if they are honest this was just not good enough and doesn't deserve better than runners-up.
  The title has been conceded after two inept performances against Reading and Boro. Life in the Premiership will be a relegation battle from the off unless there are some drastic changes in the playing staff and the style of play.

  Well said

  No...not well said at all. There are 23 other teams in our current league who strive to win every game if they can possibly acheive it. Yes...we are Southampton...but we don't have a god given right to win every game. What we DO have is a good fan base, owners who want to build without breaking the bank, great manager, decent players...and (dare I say it) a positive attitude. The only spanner in the works are the neg heads...get on board..realise that football involves occaisional disappointment...and perhaps we can move forward. There is a banner at SMS that reads "Together We Stand"...there's a tiny minority on here who should try reading it.

  Careful BB you will be accused of being a "Happy Clapper" next, it may seem minor, but this kind of negativity is infectious and can seriously damage morale and confidence, it won't be long before it filters through to team and they will realise what an ungrateful fan base we really have, how do you think they will take that?"
