Is this wise, what with him having Ebola and all?

Thanks for destroying my nascent dreams of being a lyricist. I am really hurt by your opinion..... Stadium announcer and also one of the highlights I watched on Saturday pronounced it as "Pell". Noting the stadium announcer also mixed up Wanyama and Mayuka so may not be the best point of reference!

You've a prat with a bell, A prat with a be-ll, We've got our Pele, Who we pronounce Pell.

Agreed. The best thing for SFC is if Poch's position is under threat by Xmas.

If it says 23.08 now, I can confirm there's a problem.

Does the "Saints go Wilde" t-shirt still fit because that's where fan action got us? The fact that we have risen from the ashes has more to do with luck that Markus turned up, than bed wetting reactionaries. That and the fact that our assets made us a good acquisition - principally the stadium that evil Lowe built brick by brick with his bare hands Otherwise our Pinnacle would probably have been League 1 like Pompey.

Arsenal are always fair in their ticket prices, just look at their season ticket deals..... Oh.

By this evidence, we are by far the most educated supporters in the Premier League. Indeed, like any class of achievers, there are always a few disruptive individuals who think it's funny to sit at the back of the class making the same noise over and over again (think, Saint Charlie, Alpine and Glasgow). Eventually, they either either buck up their ideas or end up like Pastor Patron and Sidney Fudpucker in the Special Educational Needs class. Anyway, back to the Bard....

It's a yes for Sterling. His stupid "I'm not a short arse" haircut has been in Southampton since he heard about our bid....

Clearly you're arsed enough to post on a message board. Otherwise I'd have been worried about the dampness of your sheets / state of your wrists.

Mods, can we rename this thread "Pedantic bickering ****s only", it feels more appropriate.

Speaking on behalf of the bedwetters everywhere, I haven't slept since through worry.

Look, it was a dodgy curry. It won't happen again.....

This. Yes he was behind the pace, and we've got to hope he gets to grips with it (and fast). He has the attributes to succeed (accepting his first touch isn't a patch on Lambert's) but he needs chances. In fairness, Ollson is a man mountain so it wasn't easy today. It might seem overly charitable but what option do we have, bench an 8m purchase? He needs time to adapt.

Calm down (period started?). Sure Brendan may have a plan but I'm not convinced in him. If you look at their message boards their fans at least see Lambert as someone who "brings them something different" and it's a common view in the press (ie. Pre-WC debate of Lambert vs. Carroll). It's not right but it is a perception. I think Lambert is a smashing player, more as a creator for others than back post big man, I fear though using him as an impact player isn't best use. Time will tell.

Didn't the Boruc hand injury also coincide with Big Vic and Lovren getting crocked? In my opinion that was a greater influence in us conceding more than the keeper choice. Clearly we did / we will miss Boruc but there were other factors too that made Gazza / KD look bad statiscally.

Part of the problem is I think they see Rickie as a big man/something different in the Andy Carroll mode ( that worked out well). It is the same view as was commonly held by media / fans at the World Cup and we know that it underuses RL. That said, I think for a pay rise and a few minutes here and there I'd play for my boyhood club. Plus nutjob Mario will be suspended half the time.

Sterling suffers from short man syndrome and is trying to compensate with a couple of inches of crazy barnet.

Not forgetting to brief the press each time that it's our final, FINAL offer.

Brendan Rogers is a knobber

All businesses should consider alternative strategies, it doesn't mean they execute on them.

I think he's not as bad as people make out. He's not the ideal partner for Fonte though. He needs a big unit, decisive CH alongside him. Although he's come across as a cock, Lovren was that ideal partner.
