know I am late to the party but, seriously.....what a dickhead......[/i]

Bang on IMO

Yep agree with this. Definately an improvement but I realise it seems a bizzarre comment after yesterdays debacle.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/district/southampton/8435653.Saints_striker_bailed_again_after_brawl/ This report does indeed say that he is answering bail again today. Thought someone said that the charges had been dropped but that was probably just guesswork too.

I lol'd

Is that for definate? I thought he was answering bail next week or something?

Good article IMO - just so gutted that they both don't play for us week in week out in the prem. Yeah, I know the prem isnt everything but just think about the team we could have had....... Hey ho. Huge game tomorrow - COYS!!!

This is what bothers me. I dont feel we have enough in cover to allow 2 forwards and Lallana behind them. I think it is either 2 forwards with AL on the left, or 1 forward with AL supporting.

Be interested on peoples opinion on this..... Where would you say is the best position for AL to play? I can't help but feel he is slightly wasted on the left side of midfield (although he can clearly do a good job there). Our first goal basically came about because he decided to come into the middle and try and create - granted, he ended up on the right side drawing a foul, but you know what I mean. I am certainly not thinking he should play in centre mid cos he is, imo, too lightweight. But I think he could do so much for us just behind the centre forward (whoever it may be). Would we get away with Puncheon and Chamerlain on either wing and AL just behind the striker?? Would love to know what AL thinks would be his best position... thoughts anyone?

I think to be honest that it helps make him the player he is - you certainly can't argue about his passion. It's also probably worth bearing in mind that we don't know the full details of the 'bar brawl' night. I'd play him from the start next week.

Exactly what I was trying to point out on the Tranmere thread last week when everyone was convinced we were going to be in the champions league in 4 years..... As for today.....not good enough. P***sed off.

This is a really tough one IMO. Never change a winning team is what I was always tought...... I thought that Chapppers was very impressive on Sat. Given that Morgan played tonight and will possibly still be feeling it on Saturday (no idea how long he played for) I would stick with Chappers. Never hurts to have strong competition for places. All that said, I totally agree with CWD. Whatever team NA puts out will fill me with confidence.

When was this?

Yeah I know what you mean mate. If we keep playing like this then I will probably find myself dreaming of greater things too. I just hope that we can keep it going and keep dominating like that at SMS. I didn't mean to sound like a negative bastard, but I just feel that too many people on here think we are world beaters when, in fact, we beat what looked like a relegation candidate.............for the Blue Square...

Agreed - Tranmere really were crap.

Keep your feet on the ground fella - Tranmere were the worst team I have ever seen at SMS. Not saying it wont happen, things are definately looking very positive, but we will need to beat teams of a vastly much better level than the dross that were Tranmere.

Lambert WILL score at least one tomorrow, trust me......I'm a doctor.

Sorry if this is covered in another thread but I couldn't see it..... Does anyone know for a fact that Lambert is carrying an injury?? I have missed the last few games so have no idea if it is true or not. Is there any official word on this?? Feel free to lock if I have missed the obvious!!

Didn't NC confirm this at the 'seasonticket out the hat' meeting the other night? To be honest if they keep serving up this ****e, it will be the players that the fans will turn on first.

I thought this happened at both matches I have seen this season....very odd

To be honest, if NC wanted him that much and NA wanted to be here that much, I think an agreement on this sort of thing would have been agreed days ago.....but again, maybe i am just being impatient....

Yeah i accept that and I can totally see what you're saying.(and what he's saying).......maybe its just the result of me being super impatient and having had a few beers. I just want a new manager, and I want that manager to WANT to be here.

I am leaning more and more towards this point of view with every minute that passes. If the bloke wanted it that much, he'd be here by now.

10 points. Actually it was rather a let down - they merely had a two minute discussion on it and thats it.

Sorry for new thread - mods feel free to lock, just wanted to tell people! Make of that what you will.....
