A very good shout! Knowing our luck we'll get Caesar Romero...

Agreed, but any replacement would likely be for half of that.

Think this is the only chance they will get for promotion to the top flight - and that they will choke...

He's bang on the money, providing we finish above Liverpool and Spurs!

I know John Hartson's big brother Jim, and he once told me that nine times out of ten the line that follows somebody making the family connection is can you shake his hand from me for booting Berkovic. It's a funny old game...

Not my numbers, but the Liverpool Echo's http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/daniel-sturridge-injury-what-liverpool-8933251 - you should email them and put them right. Undoubtedly, typical scouse tossers exaggerating again!

Indeed, £125,000 a minute! Softens the departure somewhat, but what a complete charlatan Rodgers is... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/daniel-sturridge-injury-what-liverpool-8933251

Scouse rag comparing the candidates to replace him in the side, points out that Lambert has only played 32 minutes of Premier League football this season, 32 minutes! Ouch...

A terrible indictment, which shows how far we've come in a short time. I would hope that modern football fans would be aware of the intrinsic racism attached to most parody fruits and nuts - particularly bananas, coconuts, and melons. As for Sheikgate, I once went to a fancy dress party as Demis Roussos and was accused of portraying Osama Bin Laden, it's a very fine line between love and hate...

If FF is out for several weeks and it's doable Boruc has to return for the run in. The January window debacle with so many Saints fans pointing out the obvious need for striking and goalkeeping cover was always going to lead to this drama! Self abuse...

I'm not sure they would even let him go for that, and I don't think Arsenal could afford / would pay what Saints would want with four years on the contract. Non story...

Cheers Tex, top man. As expected, but nice to have hard evidence. Shame most sports journalism is not built on that obvious foundation!

Love to see Lalas match stats from last season and this - reckon they might show a full scale reverse in every category! Rodgers can certainly take full credit for transforming Lambert's career - from a cheerful, free scoring regular, to a miserable, moribund bit player. If Jihadi John was appointed next manager of Liverpool there would still be large elements of the press who would provide support and positive spin.

Rodgers is a complete chancer, and when the fall comes it's going to be from a great, great height. Incredible to think that him and Pochettino don't have a single trophy between them over the course of their managerial careers, not one!

But can Forster dance?

I A look at the upcoming fixtures would suggest we have a chance to be breathing down their scrawny scouse neck over the next few weeks. After a great season, the reflection must be that currently have too small a squad for sustained top four and a truly great season now, would be finishing above Pochettino and Rogers in fifth. I would f*cking love that.

Cherries...

We can't compete with them in three main areas - revenue, fan delusion, or boardroom delusion (the latter two categories only bettered by the History Boys at Liverpool). They are an upgrade on Saints in the way that Jimmy Savile is an upgrade on Simon Mayo. Arguably, they've gone backwards in the last three years, hopefully this trend will continue until they disappear up their own *rses - http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2012/jun/16/tottenham-hotspur-delusions-grandeur

Lenor or Comfort?

Swansea want him as well, and Hull...

The hairdo of a Cornish sex offender...

What happens in the summer will depend largely on what happens between now and the end of the season. Wherever we finish we look resigned to losing Schneiderlin, Clyne, and Toby, in other words our best three players. The Rodriguez situation is unclear, but the noises coming from his 'representatives' suggest he may angle for a move, and Wanyama is going to get some serious attention - so it's crucial that the rot stops and we avoid free fall into mid table, stay in the top six and look competitive. If we finish weakly, and end up between 8-10 it's going to be very difficult to retain quality and attract quality, and it's highly unlikely that perceived targets like Clasie, would fancy it. Like many, I agree that this season has been a wonderful surprise, but I think it's surprised the Saints Board as much as the fans, and we needed to consolidate with a central striker in January (no brainer) to have a chance to really mix it in the top four. So much to play for before we can think about what's going to be another hectic and interesting summer.

This has cheered me right up. Any chance of getting him back for the run in...

OJ All are realistic given our season so far, but we need to find the spark that's been missing for the past few weeks and build momentum again. With a fully fit / available squad it's certainly possible, I think we've greatly missed both Toby and Bertrand in terms of the balance and confidence they bring to the side.

Given where we were in the middle of the transfer window, not recruiting another central striking option was either cavalier or foolhardy, either way I think it's going to haunt us for the rest of this season. Players looked tired today, and towards the end disinterested, and it does feel rather like last year when we started to tail off. That's three games now where the earlier incarnation of this side would have wiped the floor with them. Koeman needs to ring the changes...
