Nice

Stekelenburg from Fulham is a thought, stepped up to Dutch No1 when Van der Saar retired, must have thought what have I done a few weeks into Fulhams season as he was behind a grim performing set of players. You don't get to be Dutch No1 just by being next in the queue.

On the flip side Anyone with Insomnia catch The Football League Show last night? There was a game on there where the ref awarded a penalty and sent a chap off. His Lino called him over they had a chit chat, the referee reversed both of his decisions.

Whilst we were beaten by the better team who have battered "better teams" than us. Listening to Lallana commenting about J-Rods injury, coupled with the tight bond the players seem to have with each other and looking at the training ground photos Mopo aswell. I wouldn't doubt that he was pretty upset at J-Rods nasty looking injury (for a foreign coach he certainly does appear to take great pleasure from his players breaking into the England team especially) then you get yet another carp decision from the officials like that. The fact that he commented in English alone showed that he was pretty ****ed off at the ineptitude of the match officials. As a team we do play the game with a pretty straight bat, making it very easy on match officials. We don't have players like Suarez who expends so much energy on getting spawny free kicks, or make like they have been taken out by a sniper in the floodlights at the merest breath, yet we get very little in return for such honesty from the match officials. I wouldn't be surprised if he just felt he had to let off some steam.

The thing that stunned me was the instant he hit the deck and was in pain all the Man City players stopped, signalled to stop the game, and for the physio. Just wish him well for a full recovery, however long it takes.

Daughter #1 has an exhibition for Uni in Carmarthen that morning, there was a faint thought of going. Might give it a bigger go if true................. Bit shallow I know.

Wow nice on Jack

What someone criticised his pass so he's taken the hump.

Interesting combination Shaw and Bale down the left, on paper a pretty effective force especially as they could both cover for each other marauding down the left.

Good up front!! The centre of midfield looks a great pairing. with Phil Silvers as Manager we would be constantly under investigation at the FA for something, never to be proved. will the assistant manager be Private Duane Doberman.

If he could guarantee a repeat his 4 touches and 2 quick goals display from the MK Dons game, then why not give him a spin

Exactly.

That was well worth waiting all week for.................... Very funny. Thank you.

We will cruise into a 2 goal lead then chuck it in the bin!

Ah the silliness is ramping up, under the supposed FFP rules, that seem to have been on the agenda for years, English homegrown players are fetching a mind boggling premium ticket price. http://www.givemesport.com/439769-chelsea-ahead-of-man-united-as-favourites-to-sign-50m-midfielder Crazy stuff especially as with a price tag like that the agent is going to screw down a good wage for his player north of £100k per week.

Questionable 15 confident 14

I am hoping they will be like Green Shield stamps where you could save up for a Ford MKIII Cortina, except in the case of our points a nice Sunseeker boat.

That truly does show how thick the ticket office are in assuming that we the supporters are thick enough to still be swayed by such a pig in poke pointless scheme.

I am missing Kenny Dalglish from the 1974 World Cup Esso Razor blade edged full colour disc collection if anyone can help.

Didn't they play at Centre back in Mike Bassett's England squad, with Lambert and Butler out on the wings.

Now we are dancing to the tune of the top 4 and Sky/BT, sod the Toffees fans and sod the Saints fans but I guess when you are piling in obscene amounts of cash Football Clubs will dance to whatever tune is playing and as fans we are a pretty stubborn bunch due to our addiction to the game so we are the easy inconvenience.

Just about to say going to Beijing in July, with our players being treated like thoroughbred race horses these days that would be crackers as the pollution is as bad as the Western Devils report it on the news, and the heat at that time of year is pretty intense too, not the best conditions no matter how much money is on the table, even the Chinese would be doubting the sanity. Still the best April Fool was the Blue shirt to honour p*mpeys return to the Premiership both on the OS and in the Echo, that had many Saints fans on the verge of spontaneous combustion the give away was the Kit manufacturer Flair Polo.

Pre season I was sitting in front of Jos Maya & Mayuka at the first friendly and what surprised me was on a couple of occasions Mayuka was asking Jos what formation we were playing when the players had a shuffle about on the pitch. I guess if you struggle to follow formation it does put you at a slight disadvantage when playing to Pochettino's style.
