This is astonishingly melodramatic. But appropriate from the man who started a campaign against our new kit before rushing out and buying one from the club shop at the earliest possible opportunity.

Man City v Liverpool. Big game, huh? 1,000 people. Saints vs Doncaster Belles, can't begin to imagine the crowd.

We're taking over the San Jose Earthquakes and renaming them the San Jose Kreugers.

Les playing a blinder. Great answers.

Shut up Ralph.

1. At least you've laid off the "people want us to have five keepers" garbage. Progress. 2. We signed Kelvin in the Championship which as I recall is different from the Premier League. 3. Kelvin said himself that he didn't want to be second fiddle at West Ham, he's quoted saying it. 4. What has the decision he made in 2009 to stay at Saints have to do with subsequent contract he signed in 2013? 5. I think clubs transfer and loan players all the time. I reckon loaning or selling player is perfectly possible. Really rather strange that you don't get that. You think we should play Paulo Gazzaniga in our Premier League campaign but think it impossible that any other club in the world could take him on loan or transfer. Pragmatic stuff, I'm sure. Such fun.

Quite aware of that - specifically to be back up keeper, not first choice. Which is mainly why he didn't go. No Premier League club have ever wanted him as their number one since his nightmare season at Sunderland.

Kelvin. Move him on - ie encouraged to retire, moved to coaching the kids/some ambassadorial role, told he won't be in the squad any more. Not that difficult, moved on. Failing that given option to leave and find another club if he still thinks he can play. He is sh it at this level, but moving him on not that difficult. Good pro, will get work. Easy really. Easy. And saying Kelvin Davies, with one full season of abject humiliation at Premier League level a decade ago and no pedigree at, or interest from, Premier League clubs looking for a front line keeper in the ten years since, is not good enough at this level is a "knee jerk" reaciton is it? Knee jerk reaction on ten years worth of evidence. You go girl, you attack those knee jerk reactions. Next. Moving Gazza on. Interesting that by me saying he is sh it for a team in the top half of the premier league makes him sh it for every other team in the world does it? You sure about that? Really sure? Moving Gazza on, not that difficult. Stick him on the transfer list, ring up some League One clubs or on the plane back to Argentina, tout him about a bit, loan him out. Not difficult. Easy in fact. Easy. And Gazza can't get picked ahead of the 39 year old keeper described above. So that's clearly knee jerk reaction from the manager of the club and England's goalie coach. Damn those knee jerkers. Lastly, five keepers. You'll remember the transfer window is shut, we can't actually sign anyone, we're stuck with what we have, so people saying we should have better are talking about what should have happened in the summer, not now. We can't sign any keepers now. It's October. Is it beginning to sink in a little bit that people are not asking for the club to have five keepers on the books? Understand that yet? Pretty much the only person blathering on about having five goalies on the books is, wait for it, you. Just you then. But, hey, I enjoyed your smugger than thou postering about "they don't care how much it costs the club" routine. Jolly well done. Misplaced though, because no one wants five keepers on the books. Just one or two back up keepers that are actually up to it.

Clasie your new project is he?

Newsflash - no one is asking for five keepers. Newsflash 2 - the process of selling players doesn't not entirely consist of sitting around waiting for someone to make a bid which we then accept or not. We have proven to be relatively adept at selling players in the past, and we could have easily moved on either Kelvin or Gazza in the summer.

When were they record signings?

The point is, regardless of Forster's injury, is our second/third choice keepers are sh it. It's now conclusive that Gazza is not up to it if he can't get picked in front of a 39 year old who was not up to it at his peak. That's the point. Stek in for Forster is a straight swap this season. Not difficult.

Except Benali wasn't one of the worst full backs to ever play Premier League football. He held on to his place while replacement left backs came and went out of Southampton. 300-odd top flight appearances show he was more of a Premier League standard player than Kelvin, who is proven to be not Premier League standard with one season laughed out of town for the team that finished bottom.

He was proven to be not Premier League standard at Sunderland when he was at his prime. So he never has been and he's not going to start now.

It's a guy called Neville Glanville-Jones.

Slightly melodramatic there. I don't think we owe Kelvin Davies anything, by the way. We've repaid his loyalty from five years ago. Or are you saying we are obliged to have him as second choice keeper for as long as he says so?

No one's managed to a get a chant based on a Flaming Lips song to take off since the Chris Marsden one based on the tune of "Race For The Prize". It used to echo round St Mary's it did.

Forster will not play for us this season.

Stek is first choice this season, Forster is not a choice at all.

What are you taking about - we got to a cup final and Europe, finished mid table solidly for several seasons including eighth and tenth, moved to new ground, Le Tiss scored pretty much every single one of his most famous goals including the last ever at the Dell, we also saw brilliant players from Ekeland to Pahars, from Richards to Killer, from Berkovic and Beattie to Crouch. We had the amazing Alan Ball season, and under Hoddle, Jones and Strachan some great days. Fourth in the table at Christmas under Gordon. Dark days and "some horrible past life event" between 1993 and 2009? You are joking, right?

No, he was out of contract but we had to pay compensation to Palace.

Lots of reasons offered that I've seen, but none whatsoever mention "inherent weakness" but David in Sweden and Vectis say so so must be the reason. Must be.

I fully expect the club historian to make sure these stats are correctly recorded.

Heaven forbid ol' Swivel-eyes would ever credit the club with creating a situation where Jose is happy to stay. You'd be the first b itch whining if he was linked with a move away in January.

No. He's a fantasist who likes to pretend he lives in the United States.
