Carrick, Cleverley and Anderson versus Yacob, Mulumbu Yeah, on their day West Brom's are at least a match for them. As you would expect the champions will have more strength in depth in that one position.

Considering how acclaimed Argentinian internation Claudio Yacob and Youssouf Mulumbu were, it wouldn't be that big a stretch.

Once a Saint, always a Saint. Come on Stanley!!!

Wasn't it Claus Lundekvam? Yep, a 0-2 defeat in 2008 in the game you remembered v Celtic. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/2403330.Saints_0_Celtic_2___Claus_Lundekvam_testimonial/

F**k you!

Yep, had pondered that on the way through the list.

Indeed they are.

For me there was no ambiguity whatsoever and of course he can answer for himself. The confrontational tone of this thread really is symptomatic of the problems on here right now. Regarding the position, I've already contributed to the thread earlier.

Kraken, he's clearly referring to the position itself rather then their entire team.

So, if this is the start of a trend we would have: Arsenal Gunners Aston Villa Lions Cardiff Dragons Chelsea Lions Crystal Palace Eagles Everton Toffees Fulham Cottagers Hull Tigers Liverpool Reds Manchester Blues Manchester Devils Newcastle Barcodes Norwich Canaries Southampton Saints Stoke City Potters Sunderland Black Cats Swansea Swans Tottenham Cock(eril)s West Bromwich Throstles West Ham Knuckle-draggers Really not sure about some of those....

There is a very definitive difference between naming the club after a part of it's home city and adopting the nickname into the official title.

Not on the Hull forum it isn't. They are livid. http://www.hullcityindependent.net/?page=forum&forum_id=4&thread_id=16076

I think Kent's T20 team used the Spitfires name after tying up with Shepherd Neame brewery.

Portsmouth Sailor Boys?

It would be nice if they added St Mary's to the game.

That's very tacky and classless. Not at all surprising though.

Can't believe that exists!

No denying it has shortcomings, yet this seems to be the route we are taking. The fact it worked v Man Utd at Old Trafford (Rooney notwithstanding) and left us utterly exposed v West Brom shows me it's not perfect. Yet we have commited our club to this philosophy by employing Poch. I don't believe he has a plan B. Yet when it does work it's wonderful.

I don't think Pochettino wants wingers. Use the forward players to push the full backs and bring the central players into play in a 4-3-3 style. The 3 better do the business.

It's too basic a way of putting it. Central midfield is important but not the full picture. I rate our midfielders but we would need a few better wide players to really make a difference.

kwsaint. I would also be interested in downloading this if possible. If you could PM me a link to do this I would be extremely grateful.

Truly wonderful news. Just hope he is given a good crack at playing and returns uninjured.

I used Chipsaway for the wheels on my Alfa 147 a few years ago. They did a great job. They have national franchises, there will be someone local to Southampton i'm sure. Dad used them also for some minor paint damage on his Volvo in Kings Worthy.

Never understood why more people don't use the blog function on here. Keep it up though Bear, very edufunctional.

Had you continued reading you would have seen that the comparison is utterly valid.
