You've noticed that someone has posted nearly 6,000 times on a thread about Pompey??? WTF

@pn_neil_allen: Got the new Secret Footballer book this Christmas. This in particular interested me. #Pompey links anyone…… http://t.co/qBAf1NWLoc Nah, that can't be about Pompey Mr Allen...far too many sentences per paragraph...

So, the Daily Star publish a "Man Utd want Lallana" back page story on 25th December followed by a Daily Mirror "Lallana's Reaction to Man Utd Interest" story a few days later....except that they are using quotes first published on 8th December...? It's a funny old game....

Isn't that a re-hash of the 'At home with Lallana' interview on Saints Player from earlier this month...?

Just watched MotD. Morgan seemed to be orchestrating most of our play. Pain in the bum that he won't be available for the Everton game as he makes us tick.

This. People should be banned if they obsess about previous managers

Just give us another table FFS...

Business as usual...

Let's have another table agenda boy...

Just received this message from my source at the Pessimists Society... "Of course, Sod's law says that he now won't get picked for the World Cup in the end (or he'll get injured). Oh, and he's bound to have a crap game against Cardiff having been out getting married and eating and drinking too much when he should of (sic) been training." Jeeze.... Can't these people lighten up a bit...?

Oops... Make that the front page. Good spot that man But always good to see a positive story about the economy....

Would you like salt and vinegar on that Blakey?

Alas, no. Just grabbed the back page screenshot from Twitter

Daily Star also reporting that we'll finish 8th... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/357395/A-predicted-Prem-table-Liverpool-champions-Chelsea-second-Arsenal-third-Man-Utd-sixth

I'm with Peter O'Toole when it comes to keeping fit... "The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise"

Congratulations. Slightly surprised that they managed to squeeze in a wedding between two games that are only 4 days apart though.

Depends. With games coming thick and fast, playing someone at 80% might mean they aren't 100% for the next game. I guess its debate able whether playing Shaw at 80% for two games in the trot is better than resting him for one game then having him at nearer 100% for the 2nd game. Without knowing the precise nature of his illness it's difficult to judge from the confines of an internet football forum.

There's a difference between being physically able to play and it being sensible to do so if under the weather with a throat infection. IMO of course.
