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.

Thank heavens for that. It really is difficult to tell with you and the majority of the rest spoiling the forum currently. That's half the problem.

Saying that people from the outlaying Hampshire villages shouldn't support Saints was pretty f**king low. There is at the very least a nasty edge to you.

Was a little surprised to see that Carl Baker is 30.

Newport County v Saints would send The9 into meltdown. Wouldn't mind someone in the west midlands personally.

Not such a bad age. Welcome to the forum.

Sadly have to agree. This site has become a clash of egos rather then a place for discussing football. The 'discussing' point is key. It's becoming just as bad as when Stu was shouting in every thread.

It would be nice to be able to experience that.

Yes, a fair few have in our squad. They had a chance to grow together though rather then immediately make the leap. I'm sure there are a few out there but I do not see Baker as being one of them.

Give Coventry a season at least! League 1 for the moment. Carl Baker is good, but I don't think he is premier league standard. Chaplow is as good an option as him.

So much for this game then! A shame it's already sold out. Good show from our support though.

Under no circumstance explain this euphamism. For the sake of us all.

All this over an alleged move that hasn't happened?

@Gulydopradosfc Thanks for the best wishes after the hat-trick against Chelsea guys. More to come. #Iswearit

Why of all places did he have to go there....

There may be a few fringe players in there but I would be sure of some key names appearing. The atmosphere alone would call for some more experienced heads.

Yep. It really would be good to play them now.

How in the name of Ted Bates could you say realistic based on your track record!?!!
