Golden Balls

Impressive! Is there any info available for how this compares to the rest of the PL clubs. If (as I suspect) we have had more academy products in our first team than anybody else, it's a great selling tool for the club to use when trying to attract young talent. I'm bias but I wouldn't want my son at any other club.

That PA system has been useless since the stadium opened.

It was terrible but the bloke a few rows behind me took far too much offence to it. He was fuming! Very odd for a middle aged man. They need to sort out the pre match build up though. Seriously sucks away any atmosphere.

They'll probably have more fans in the ground than us.

Hereford United wound up with debts of £166k. Makes me sick what them lot got away with.

I'm sure we're also interested in Messi and Ronaldo too, but can't afford them either.

What a goal he scored against Ipswich. But that Norwich game is one of my favourites at SMS.

Not bad considering Long has been playing wide and a fair few have been from the bench.

I had no idea Gardos had been sent off. So no, he won't be able to play either.

Find it hard to disagree that we look tired towards the end of games. At the point where you'd expect us to be really going for it, we don't seem to.

Hate the thought of bringing Toby out of defence. It makes it so much weaker! But then midfield looks weak too! Still can't believe Wanyama and Morgan got bookings in that game. Personally I'd have made sure they (or at least one of them) got booked towards the end of the Burnley game to give them a rest against Shef Utd and also get them over that 5 booking threshold. What about Gardos or Maya in DM?

Forget price tags. Long - I've only been impressed with him so far. Will unfortunately always be judged on the fee that was paid. Mane - great finish Vs Stoke. Did well against Sunderland. Generally terrible otherwise. Toby - Brilliant Tadic - low on confidence it seems. He's clearly got great ability, he'll be fine. Pelle - even when he's not scoring he plays well. So much effort and ability to bring others into play. Gardos - only seen him against Arsenal and the odd cameo, looks good to me. Surprised he's behind Maya in the pecking order but RK has seen more than me I suppose. Forster - can't think of a better keeper at a worse club. He's made some errors but far more good saves. A top keeper who will continue to improve for the next 8-10 years. I'm off for a cup of happy clappy. Sorry to **** on your already wet sheets.

United lost to MK Dons, Arsenal lost to Bradford. We're not special. This is football.

How young does Kelvin look!! If only we could have kept some of that team together for a few more years.

Can't see it happening. Seems to have all come from this interview on TalkSport which is all based on maybes. http://talksport.com/football/wesley-sneijder-southampton-could-be-cards-claims-dutch-football-expert-141217129065?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I've been on holiday for the last 2 games but we weren't bad against man United and Arsenal

Wooooah. Insightful observation.

L1 WUM were much better.

Top 4 is always going to be a huge ask but I wouldn't base it all on the last 4 games. Last 2 we've been very unlucky! Arsenal proved last season you can lose to all the big boys and still make it.

His decision making is awful. Clearly an instinct player. Still, very young with a lot to learn.

Oxford home or away. Don't want a non-league team as that's an added pressure.

Basically a much better way of saying what I was trying to say. Cheers.

Why should we only have success off OR on the pitch? Why not want both? I want us to be in brilliant financial shape AND win some trophies. I'm 27 and only ever seen us win the JPT. That was brilliant and I'll never forget it. But winning the FA Cup would be dreamland for me.

Can work that into a chant... There's no need for that There's no need for thaaat Koeman said c*** There's no need for that He said it again He said it agaaain Koeman said can't He said it again
