    hopefully harry can pull another gem out of the fire to partner theo up front because ormerod just isnt good enough imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Life after Harry is going o.k. so far! Theo scored a sensational goal, 1-0 up against Luton at the minute. We're looking shaky but hopefully we can hang on. The goal was fit to win any game.

    I'll upload it straight after the game.

    Yeah I saw it, like the commentator said, a finish that any striker in the world would be proud of.

    While talk of England is premature, he looks decent. How many has he got this season?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Thats 4 now.

    Excellent goal by Walcott today, he is looking better and better as the season goes on. I still dont think his finishing is that good yet and he tends to miss a few of the easier chances but if he can sort that he will be a top player

    Yeah I agree, he seems to find it hard to put the ball wide of the keeper sometimes. Still, when he can score goals like todays one at the age of 16...

    The futures bright, the futures Walcott...

    Rory Delap is a highly unusual character.

    What was the final score? Saw the goal from Walcott, superb, you'd expect Southampton to be blitzed with offers sooner or later.

    1-0 in the end. Delap sent off a few minutes from time, stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid player.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭mchurl


    no need for him to do that we are going to miss him now. Great finish from theo, hopefully we can at least hold on to him for the rest of the season. Mr. Joesoap do u think basset and wise are the men for the job?

    Yes I think that is a good combination. Showed yesterday with Basset in stands and Wise on pitch looking after team. Gives a differnet view when in stands.

    Yeah they were on the Bat-phone to each other constantly. I wonder what kind of role Rupert Lowe has while sitting beside Bassett/Redknapp/etc... up there.

    As for the Bassett/Wise combination, I don't really know. One thing is for sure, if Bassett gets the job Wise will be his right-hand man. Bassett is hugely experienced (over 1000 games) and I think I remember hearing somewhere that he has got around 6 or more promotions as a manager.

    The key is finding someone brave or stupid enough to work with Rupert Lowe. Bassett has said that if he gets the job he would resign if he didn't achieve promotion by next season. I like the way he talks, he's honest (after 'Arry we need that) and cuts no crap.

    Good article on him here - http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/coca_cola/article332310.ece

    Basset has a lot of respect around the leagues in england as well and i like the way wisey is. He is jumoing around and agitated on the sideline and thats what i like to see. I think with those two in charge the team certainly wont be found wanting in the motivation department. Rupert should appoint them as they know the players currently at the club and they know what is required so at least if they are appointed there wont be any major transitional problems and give them until the end of the season at least.

    There are rumours that a double act of Francis Benali and Matt Le Tissier are in the running. On Saturday afternoon on Sky Sports Jeff Stelling asked Matt was he still interested and he said he'd love it - and they mentioned how it would bring the club and fans back together again .... although I dont think any of them really believes it will happen


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭mchurl


    i would love to see matt and francis involved in some sort of role but tbh i cant see them becoming joint managers. They just havent got the experience required for this. They should give the two a role at the club though as if they did it would go some way to getting the fans back on the side of the board.

    Theo Walcott compilation, I haven't got around to watching it yet though. Let me know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Roll on Saturday boys. Flying over in the morning. We've lost Davenport back to Spurs because his loan deal finished so it looks like Doherty and Fleming as the 2 center halves. But the team are gonna be up in confidence with Safri signing a new deal and the win last Saturday, here's to a good game.

    should be a decent enough game. Both teams had good wins at the weekend. Hopefully theo is still on fire!! I reckon it'll be fairly even but we will have a bit of confidence back and i reckon ( and hope!!) we might just sneak it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Well lads hope you all enjoyed that result. Theo did absolutely nothing today and was kept fairly quiet. The goal you got was down to poor keeping more than anything, Niemi kept the score down to a reasonable scoreline but we should've beaten you by 5 or 6 goals to one. Prutton had an argument with a few of your fans for some reason so if you hear anything about that I'll be interested to know what it was about. To sum it up, you played well up until you scored and never really threatened. We played some of the best football that we've seen in a while and Deano!!!! is back :D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    We've now blown leads in three of out last 5 games. Fvcking pathetic, typical Southampton.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭mchurl


    we're looking less and less likely now to get a play -off spot. Why the f**k can't we hold on to a lead?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭mchurl


    So with George Burley now in charge do we think that we will finally get some consistency into our play? I think he is a decent manager and that he will help to improve us greatly. What role does dennis Wise have in all this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Interesting to see a sc**er take charge of your lot. Pity he wasn't in charge before last Saturday where he would've been given a very warm welcome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    13. Smith, Paul

    21. Baird, Chris
    26. Mills, Matthew
    16. Cranie, Martin
    18. Delap, Rory

    12. Quashie, Nigel
    8. Oakley, Matt
    20. Prutton, David
    33. Dyer, Nathan


    32. Walcott, Theo
    9. Ormerod, Brett


    Thats how bad things have got. What a starting line-up for Burley to have to play in his first game in charge.

    Needless to say, 2-0 down coming up to half time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    3-0 now, a Chris Baird o.g.

    *groans*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Thank you George Burley :D:D
