What exactly does that mean? Compared to what? "Average" is a term football fans often use but doesn't really make sense without explanation as it isn't being used in a mathematical sense. Of course not... BUT... isn't the point of football club fan internet forums to discuss things about a club?

Why does them not being good enough for a top 6 team mean it doesn't matter what order they should be in at Saints?

Vestergaard Hoedt Yoshida Stephens Bednarek Hoedt is nowhere near as bad as many on here make him out to be.

They were both on the pitch at the same time vs Burnley.

Why have you jumped to that conclusion? Just because a young player has been loaned out doesn't mean a manager doesn't think he'll be of use in the future.

No Mahrez or Vardy potentially makes it easier compared to last season.

Are these overly negative pre-match predictions done for superstitious purposes?

No, but as he didn't train as much as Ward-Prowse this week a professional team is likely to opt for those that haven't had a knock.

He had a very good game vs Burnley, deserves to remain in the team on the basis of that.

Because Armstrong went off injured in the game vs Burnley and isn't fully fit.

Which 20 team league in the world has better quality in the bottom 14 clubs?

Is there any credible evidence for that?

Armstrong went off vs Burnley with an injury and Vestergaard is ill.

The three of them are ill, only just back from injury and injured respectively.

Not sure why you would think that. In the last publically available comparison of wages in accounts, there was a huge gulf in wages between the two clubs and Premier League rules restrict the increase a team can add to its wages each year so they can't catch up easily even if they wanted.

Les has picked up a stutter late in life. He can't get his words out.

Nope, that bloke looked like he'd just woken up after a day drinking on the streets.

I'd guess his point was that Krueger said in the past it would only happen with regulalr 100% attendance. But 100% attendances don't happen at other clubs for a variety of reasons, yet other clubs still feel it is justified to expand.

No it isn't.

Yep, he is stumbling over questions and looks nervous and worried.

Same as always in a cup draw I want... ...the worst team in the draw at St Mary's to give Saints the best possible chance of progression to the next round!

I made no mention of that. I was talking about the quality of the football. If the "big clubs" leave the league, Southampton's income will fall sharply and we'd be watching a lower standard of footballers.
