Whats the nature of Shaw's injury?

Few sides will get such possession stats at Emirates

Osvaldo to fade away to oblivion like Gashton, or is their still hope?

Just wasn't our day all round. Move on and forget.

Giroud's a ****

Big Club Homer Ref

Over and Out

come on Saints

If Arthur had't had his moment of madness we might have had a superb 0-0

Quite - lets pray.

Can't understand the thinking behind Lallana sub

Delayed start, key player out, this is turning into a very tense afternoon already.

Ivan Golac.

McNulty must be Hart's uncle.

Can't see it.

Quite. The thought had crossed my mind too, but I think our lads are bigger than to do that.

Ola/MLG thanks for clearing up the age rules

Interesting - I seem to remember Cannot the U21s include 2 overage players by the rules?

Daily Star I m reading in a greasy spoon is bigging em up and making sure Nathaniel isn't forgotten too.

Saints will have 4 players minimum in Brazil, mark my words.

"Something special is blossoming at Southampton...." There really is a sense of that. It will certainly be special if we won the title this year - for a start I'd also trouser £25000!

It would make me cringe. I would be at once both nauseated and embarrassed. Another death-blow to the soul of football. While it is linguistically hardly different, it is a world apart in cultural resonance and the collective consciousness of the club and fans; it's history and tradition. Such hideous monikers fit alongside goal-muzak, giant foam fingers, large official flags waved by paid staff at either end behind the goals, and official supporters 'banners' in the nauseating features of plastic football these days. We can keep and respect our cultural heritage yet still be modern and forward-looking. That new name does neither.
