Good news comes in threes - Matt Phillips to sign tonight?

I thought as much, but didn't want to say anything - he sometimes gets a bit touchy when you mention his name.

That's fair enough, we all want another winger added to the first team squad, but that doesn't mean Martin Hunter and Les Reed should drop everything and wait for Pardew to conclude his business.

Obviously he could impress for the reserves and be brought into the first team squad, as could any of the youngsters. But he's not being brought in - like Guly - to have an immediate impact on the first team.

You're right, he must be useless. Let's aim higher. Why weren't we in for Joe Cole?

FFS, even those who only care about the first team must surely have some interest in whether our youngsters are any good.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm, as why shouldn't we be adding quality youngsters to our squad?

He did, this is a small article, nothing to do with the first team.

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2136827,00.html As part of the development squad, so won't be seeing too much of him in the first team I shouldn't think. Midfielder according to Wiki, but whereabouts I have no idea.

You may not be convinced, but a lot of people (including Pardew) are, so there is no way we will sign another CB.

See Saints tickets have sold out for this game, again.

A lot more than that which makes you qualified to doubt it.

Only been watching for 5 minutes and already cracked one out to two fitties walking past. Awesome. Bird with massive knockers just crossed. This is better than any channel, porn or normal, you could ever find.

Alpine can't live without his double standards.

This would make sense to me, if it wasn't for the fact that Pardew never loses his rag/drops Puncheon for doing exactly the same thing.

What's that? Gerrard got a 15 year old up the duff?

You said yourself he was reluctant to use him.

Who said anything about pace? Are you denying Davies' strength and hold up play?

As has already been pointed out, Waigo WAS used last season. Thread is therefore redundant.

Lamberts, Barnards, the Lallana "Messi" one, the Rasiak one a few years ago. I'm sure there's a few more. But anyway, the ones i've seen on this thread have been absolute f*cking sh*te, and haven't even fitted with the tunes they're supposed to. Terrible.

2 games in and out of patience? Oh dear.

Exactly, he was marking Kevin Davies FFS, even a lot of top Prem defenders struggle against him.

Tuesday was the first time I have seen Martin lumping it into the stands, he is normally a lot more composed than that.

Nope, there were no Tyson songs sung.

Personally i'd play him on the left and Lallana on the right and just tell them to get down the byline. We play far too narrow. Nevermind all this "but then they won't score as much" rubbish, because right now we aren't scoring at all - and in all the games so far we have looked much more likely to score when we've had Chamberlain on the right bombing down the wing.
