St Chalet

Just because he may get a bonus for finishing 8th wouldn't mean that he would play a lesser team for the cup. What you are complaining about is the implication that others have made from it. For all we know he might have got a bonus for winning FA Cup and thus Europa League qualification. Writing to club on the basis on an internet rumour and a post by Glasgow Saint is laughable.

As there were a 'few' accusations flying around just pick a couple for us.

Normally I'd say that there are plenty of threads discussing this already, however I think you've hit the nail on the head. PS I presume you mean 'drivel' not 'dribble'

@Window Cleaner Can you find out who leaked this whilst you are at it http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2535123/He-stays-wants-Clause-Lamberts-contract-states-remain-Saint-life.html Glasgow, let me know if you need help uploading that Facebook screenshot of yours.

My personal take on the situation. I don't think this forum (and it's natural prequels) is any better / worse than it has been for the last 8-9 years I have been browsing and contributing to it, merely different. I don't ever recall it being a bastion of humour and tactical dissection. Indeed some of the best posts I have read are by people I don't believe were there at that time (Rallyboy and Halo in case you are wondering). As a Moderator I get asked a lot to pick people up on trolling or spoiling threads. In the general scheme of things unless people are taking the thread off-topic or are conducting themselves in a rude or discriminatory I'll let it go. Although the repetitive posts from some can be tedious posters do have three simple options: 1) Use the forum ignore function 2) Use your own ignore function 3) Debate the point and let your argument win The number of threads and posts complaining about trolling / Wumming is becoming as prominent as any perceived trolling. Not everyone will agree and / or like each other. Accept it and deal with it.

Moving to The Lounge as not much Saints related here.

Wish granted. There are plenty of other threads discussing the game / our approach to the cup game.

Happy Birthday SRL. Genuinely one of my favourite Southampton players ever.

Agreed. pointless.

If coming 8th automatically extends his contract this is a good thing? The team we put out yesterday should have dispatched Sunderland. I personally put it down to arrogance and over confidence in our ability to turn up and win. Hope he hears the disappointment from fans and adjusts accordingly next season (on his well deserved enhanced contract).

Think Targett played for the U21's yesterday. Shaw will start.

Stuart Robinson jumped the gun.

Hooiveld and Yoshida were our first choice for much of last season. He will be fine with Shaw or Clyne / Chambers alongside.

Expect to see McQueen in for Gallagher based on that.

To be fair, Pizza Man becomes one of their 20 squad members needed so may come back to bite them if they try that old trick again.

Boruc can't win with aome people! FWIW I reckon we will sign someone like Alex Mccarthy from Reading to give him competition for next season.

I thought Yoshida was decent last season, a few games this he is right back on that level.

On balance Clyne as I think he offers more going forward, Chambers looks the part. Poll added.

Great result that. 1-0 It finishes.

Big Vic on for Steve Davis

Let it not be said we don't play with ambition, as Luke Shaw adopts Centre Forward position in last attack.

Cork smashes crossbar!

Boruc great save.
