That's how I remember it, seemed rather odd.

The Cherries. Their natural rivals are Weymouth. They should have more respect, comparatively it's like Rochdale inventing a rivalry with Man Utd. Howe will be off the first sniff of a real football club. I still think they will choke promotion...

Very talented player and a coup when we signed him, I remember him teasingly appearing on the gantry before matches at the Dell, felt like we were being taunted! McMenemy once said that having Charlie George at Saints 'was like having an enormous diamond in a safe and not knowing the combination' - that about sums it up. Perry Groves on the other hand was total sh*t!

One for the cultured

He needs to maintain their current league position and gain 15 points from the remaining games to match Tim Sherwood's performance.

Agree, and the bonus is that 5th for us would be incredible, 6th or 7th for Liverpool or Spurs, given their delusion, is a disaster. Get it right and we may even be instrumental in the sacking of Rodgers and / Pochettino come May.

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?
