Didn't he play most of last season after that though?

In the United game in one of the papers Gardos was given a 6, Blind was given an 8

Thought for a while that his finishing isn't actually anything special, he just gets so many chances that he invariably gets a decent return of goals. I'll admit to being worried at how wasteful he is sometimes, he seems to be caught in two minds a lot when trying to play the killer ball and not quite pulling it off. Leads the line as well as anyone i've ever seen, no doubt. Hold up play and flick ons (although people need to run beyond him more!) are fantastic. Sorry to say that it's a position that can definitely be improved upon though.

Dickson and Seaborne? Bit harsh, they both did a decent job for us. Replace them with Forren and Mellis and you're onto something.

Agreed, it's Lambert. Possibly our best ever signing.

Would have made a much better replacement for Pelle up top than Long, might have even gone through in the league cup had he been fit.

Embedded for lazy people;

He was the only person in the stadium who saw it as offside.

QPR at home, with their terrible away record? They NEED the home wins. As for Palace, maybe...but I don't see Pardew wanting his side to play that way.

Absolutely. Funny how the replays all start just after the handball by Colback.

Weird, I thought EXACTLY the same thing.

Meh, we've done the "impossible" time after time this season. 9 wins in a row broken by a defeat away to Chelsea. I'll take that.

Its so basic it's almost instinct. How the hell he's got that wrong i do not know.

If you're referring to me, I wasn't comparing them - just saying that he's been here 5 minutes and already been a more effective signing.

"Southampton have more points now than they finished with in the 2012/13 season, with 16 games left".

Have Giroud and Welbeck recovered yet?

Yep. Also got players like McQueen, Gape coming through who seem to be rated by the management. Ward-Prowse could also adapt his game to play a bit further back.

Gotta go for a City win tomorrow, surely?

There are other providers you know.

Is this accurate? So the money going to clubs in the CL from next season could more than double?

Imagine finishing in champions league, the revenue that brings, and getting the £30million for Schneiderlin in the summer. With Reed stepping up and those kind of funds available we'd be in such a strong position for the future.

He'll still have made more of an impact than Balotelli.

Hibernating till next season when he can pull out his "wait till we get to 40" rubbish again.

Not killed, but it certainly didn't do Wanyama any favours.
