True
Despite all the pearl clutching during the summer everyone has seen the results achieved under Tonda and other chairmen won't give two shits about the "spygate" shenanigans
I like really Tonda and am pleased that we got the decision we wanted from the FA after sticking with him but he'd have to get us promoted before being compared to Nigel Adkins, let alone Lawrie Mac who it would take something truly remarkable to usurp his position of Saints greatest manager |

I'm pleased for him too, should have at least hit the target when through last Saturday though
With the amount of games in this league we need everyone to contribute
Anyway to nearly quote Frank Sidebottom The Dobbins not bobbins |

Great save from Peretz right at the end which won us the points
A couple of bottles of M&S golden ale, how very Haslemere M&S golden ale ffs and the excellent new Michael Kiwanuka lp on the turntable
I might be in my 50's and watched Saints for 45 odd years but I'll never tire of the feeling I have when we've won |

More likely you'll be disappointed
If we can get a draw that would be a very good result
With regards to Lankshear there seems to be a lot of assumption that we should just sign a player
An uncomfortable truth may be that he turned us down as he saw Boro as a better chance of getting promotion this season |

I think we lost at home to Villa and Lawrie told the players they hadn’t given their all and had cheated him and the supporters
According to Lawrie’s biography that was it for KK
Shame as he’s another player I just missed seeing play for Saints, I did see him play in a charity 5 aside but that doesn’t count |

I think it’s good to see an “unfashionable” club doing well, great night for them beating Milan, I remember how happy I was when we beat Inter at home
In my experience the animosity has been from their side, I got chatting to a Cherries fan at a gig, it was the weekend before we lost to them under Martin. He was trying to wind me up and the praise and admiration I said I had for what they were doing seemed to annoy him more than biting
Portsmouth, Aldershot and Spurs are the only teams I want to see lose on a weekly basis |

Tongue was firmly in my cheek with regards to CB Fry!
It's quite telling as to how football has changed, since Mick Channon I think there's only been 2 players who've scored more than 100 goals for Saints, Steve Moran scored 99. Anyone capable of that many goals is lured away by the bigger clubs nowadays
Sadly never saw Mick Channon play for Saints, he left in the summer when I started going to matches. I love hearing my dads memories of seeing a lot of these players from the late 50's and I remember fondly my grandads recollections of Charlie Wayman, he always felt that the Saints board didn't really want to get promoted in the late 40's? when we should have and fell away after Charlie got injured |

Of the final 4 I'd go for Sheffield and then Blackpool
Milton Keynes or Wrexham, I don't think so unless it's felt that the areas would really benefit from the funding |

I don't think Tommy Forecast made a senior appearance for anyone
It's basically a really badly researched list, Peter Sillett, 2 t's, wasn't a goal keeper as is listed there and didn't make over 400 appearances for anyone, less than 350 in a career at Saints and Chelsea. Really bizarre choice if your looking for players from that era then Cliff Huxford or the previously mentioned Tommy Traynor would be better shouts
As time goes on these lists change, supporters of my dads generation or older would say Eric Day-158 goals, Tommy Mulgrew-100 goals, Derek Reeves- 173 goals and George O'Brien-180 goals are far more deserving than some who have made less than 100 appearances. Also surely CB Fry should be in with a shout, perhaps one of the older contributors here could let us know how good he was? |

Steve Moran is a Saints legend imo
Scored 90 odd goals including the winner at Fratton which even if he’d done nothing else makes him a legend in my eyes
Also Danny Ings, just for the knee slide in front of the Fratton end |

Most places have areas of that are run down
When Mrs S first went into Woking she described it as being “just like Harlow” she’s from Essex and that’s a pretty big insult
What does it have? A shit statue of a Martian in reference to War Of The Worlds as HG Wells used to live in the town, and that’s it. Nothing to reference The Jam, the diary yard mentioned in Town Called Malice is now flats and The Liberal Club where Paul Weller played his first gig has been derelict for years. There isn’t even an ironic reference to the Andrew formally known as prince’s Pizza Express of choice
Doing up the town centre and making it worse and the redevelopment of the Sheerwater estate has bankrupted the council
Basically, most towns and cities need funding for redevelopment so I’m not surprised so many want to win the award and funding |

Been mulling it over whilst repairing a lathe and plaster ceiling this morning
1 Channon
2 Paine
3 Le Tissier
4 Stokes
5 Lambert
6 Davies
7 Holmes
8 Peach
9 Moran
10 Ball
Channon top because he’s our top goal scorer, won the FA Cup and captained England whilst at Saints
I’ve included David Peach as he played in two major finals for us and scored in one along with Nick Holmes [Post edited 22 Oct 12:59]

25 is too many “legends” imo
Should be 10 maximum and players who contributed as record goal scorers, appearances and things of significant note to the history of the club
Anyone with less than 100 appearances can’t be classed as a legend, great players who’ve had great careers but not a Saints legend
If you’re including Gareth Bale then you’d have to include Jason Dodd, neither would be a legend in my eyes, Doddy was a a great servant to the club but that’s it for me
Also why does everyone or everything have to be a legend, epic or amazing nowadays
Went out for dinner last Sunday and ordered fish and chips, “amazing” was the response to my choice from the waitress. Old man Shotters rolled his eyes a grumpily grumbled about “the youth of today” under his breath [Post edited 22 Oct 10:22]

I will probably be banned from this forum for heresy but I quite like a night out in Southsea
The Wedgewood Rooms is a great venue, seen some excellent gigs there and the khazis are a great spot for some pro Saints graffiti and stickers. Really easy to get to from my manor too |

Hopefully he’ll get a chance at some point, can’t say I know much about him, is he a similar type of forward to Larin?
If nothing else it will be worth seeing that div Merson trying to say his surname |
