Yep, just realised I missed him (would put him on bench)

Boruc Clyne Yoshida Hooiveld Shaw Cork Scheiderlin Puncheon Ramirez Lallana Lambert Subs (edit): Davis, Fox, Forren, Davis, Lee/Mayuka, Rodriguez, Chaplow/JWP

@SouthamptonFC: José Fonte and Guly (both knee) are still out. Game may come too soon for Emmanuel Mayuka despite Zambia's #AFCON2013 elimination. #saintsfc

One to carry forward to the next match build up thread... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10201117.Manchester_City_captain_to_miss_Saints_clash/?ref=twt

So, sounds like the success of PDT's bid is now reliant on PKF picking up the cost of the £2m floating charge "oversight"....?

"Another source".... suitably vague...

@GraemeBailey: Confirmed this morning that as well as Stones and McGeady - Wigan failed to land Jefferson Montero from Morelia. http://t.co/J1j1KO7P

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport No #saintsfc presser with MP today - team have stayed up in Manc for Wigan game - I'm hoping to interview a player or two tonight at hotel Trousers ‏@Lord_Trousers @bigadamsport Does that mean there's no official presser at all or just that you're not going to it Adam? Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport @Lord_Trousers I guess some organisations may have requested to do something up there like me, but no MP presser Trousers ‏@Lord_Trousers @bigadamsport Cheers - surprised it's not a Premier League stipulation to hold an official pre-match press conference

Did you glean that from the Adam Blackmore tweet? I couldn't work out if he meant that he wasn't going to be at the "presser" or whether there wasn't one altogether. I thought it was a Premier League stipulation to have pre-match press conferences?

I would leave him be personally. Would rather get, say, 19 out of 20 games out of him playing his 'natural' game than 20 out of 20 games playing in a more restrained way. I hear the argument that he has to probably restrain his play for the rest of the game after getting a yellow, but aren't you asking him to restrain his play for 90 minutes of every game?

Assume they'll be a pre- match press conference today (instead of the usual Thursday slot)? Given the team have stayed oop North any idea where and when it's taking place? Cheers

@solentsport: Millwall midfielder Therry Racon set to join #pompey later today, Solentsport understands 9 league appearances since 2008.... Hark! Is that the sound of scraping barrels I can hear in yonder east?

@Luke_shaw3: Deadline day done , now time for everyone to focus on sat #3points

Weird that people can't spell weird

Saints spent over £35m on players this season, the last game saw them outplay Man Utd at Old Trafford with 21 shots on goal. Yet people complain!

@indykaila: According to chairmanship son @jsullivanwhu West Ham haven't had a bid from anyone for midfielder Diame.
