It's forecast to rain in Sholing tomorrow, so don't forget your brolly.

This is what you said: Can you show me where Batman said that women having the football bug was "wrong"? Or where he said anything that required you to start pompously doling out "get back to the kitchen" melodramatics, ultimately descending into trying to accuse me of being "sexist"? That entire response to Batman was an argument in your own head. That's why I am laughing at you. Now, I am laughing at you using the phrase "outdated gender paradigms". Two posts ago you were saying "I thought this was a football forum." Make your mind up, Russell Brand.

Learn to put things in perspective yourself sunshine. Southampton Football Club not having a womens football team does not doom any women, anywhere, to "staying in the kitchen". Just pompous drivel. Think about that next time you start channelling your inner Martin Luther King, even though it makes you feel so awfully radical and dynamic and that. Happy to help.

You managed to turn people being non plussed about SFC having a women's team to a "tell them to stay in the kitchen" posture of puffed up self righteousness in the blink of an eye, now you're chucking about "are you a sexist" bulls hit at me. Have a fu cking medal. Women still face countless challenges in the modern world. Having a football team in a SO postcode is some way down that list. Seems to me you seem slightly more obsessed about your daughter somehow living out your own football dream than actually considering what she might actually want to do herself. Act the fuc king poundland suffragette if you like but don't start asking me questions like that.

The drivel keeps coming. Kelvin stayed at Saints to play, and he didn't move to WHU because he wanted to be playing, not reserve keeper. Awfully sorry that makes so upset but there you go. Stop obsessing about Kelvin's contract signed in 2013 when he was four years older and SFC was in a completely different situation. Not relevant, stop asking questions about it. Weird. Kelvin's Premier League record at Saints - 10, 2, 7 appearances. First choice me up. And after all that, you don't want Paulo either. Comedy gold. Funny that. Maybe we should have shipped him out in the summer and/put Kelvin out to grass, but obviously all of that ranks alongside the water fuelled car as the world's greatset challenges.

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.
