We HAVEN'T created fewer chances. If we had, then I would agree with you that Lallanas absence was having an effect, but as I said you cannot possibly believe that him being on the pitch automatically makes everyone else better finishers - that's a ridiculous notion. Tranmere loss 2-0; 15 shots on goal Oldham won 6-0; 14 shots on goal.

How can we take that forward from yesterday? And it's too early to be calling Chaplow and Morgan Prem quality IMO.

All coincidence. We still created the same level of chances when he was out of the side as when he was in. There is no way that Lallana being out of the side made every other player in our team worse at sticking the ball in the net after the chance was created.

So you freely admit you have no idea what the reason is, and you still think it's wrong? Perhaps the club wasn't even approached by the Sun given our history. Perhaps we didn't want to associate ourselves with them (again, given our history).

This was clear anyway, some people just paid too much attention to the coincidence that we didn't win with him out the side.

What a surprise. ITV talk about United and Chamberlain, and no-one else.

Is anyone really surprised? There'll always be trouble somewhere when a club like United comes to town.

Whilst I echo the sentiments in the original post, this is covered in the post match reaction thread...

Title edited for accuracy.

Watched the game in a pub full of random fans who wanted us to win, and 2 United fans. Very proud of the team tonight. Went nuts when Chaplow scored.

No surprise, was a very good player.

Sorry mate.

Keep an eye on the build up thread, or the OS.

Where exactly is the full list of clubs inlcuded?

Meh...it's more magical with the "McCalliog, to Stokes who's onside....1-0! Southampton go mad!".

It's complete speculation that he has a minimum fee release clause of any kind.

I'm still pretty sure we'll sign at least one more.

Tempted to move this into Golden Threads right now tbh.

If we're reposting tribute videos, this one gets me everytime;

Lies. Prove it.

And made completely unsubstantiated accusations about him as well.

David Burke. Beat him to it. Edit; http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2060696,00.html

His name escapes me at the mo, but pretty sure he joined us from Man City.

Oh well.

Cortese is our CEO, and he said much the same.
