How do you know he isn't? Just because he wasn't photographed with the first team today why have you jumped to the conclusion he wasn't at Staplewood? You keep jumping to conclusions with little (actually no) supporting evidence.

Rodriguez dad on Twitter under an hour ago... Steven Sainsbury ‏@stevy7 1h1 hour ago @bigadamsport Rumors going round that @JayRodriguez9 keeps suffering setbacks with his injury and career is in jeopardy. Any news on this? Enrique Rodriguez ‏@KikoRod9 49m49 minutes ago @stevy7 @bigadamsport don't worry it's not true he his fighting fit

Post #4 for a start. In any case why would the club not giving you minute by minute updates on him mean you jump to the conclusion that his career was over? If his career was over, why would the club have any need to cover it up?

What a bizarre conclusion to jump to.

If you read the article in question they have leaped to that conclusion because Koeman is reportedly... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-fc-transfer-gossip-rodgers-8478157

He couldn't play against Ipswich at St Mary's because he wasn't registered in time for the game because of how the transfer window and FA Cup weekend fell this year in terms of dates. If you aren't registered for the original FA Cup match then you can't play in the replay. Elia is able to play vs Crystal Palace in the 4th round.

Even when we were relegated from the Premier League finishing 20th in 2004/05 we averaged 30,610 and sold out more than just two games as you think we would. Anyway as I said... if someone wants to continue this, bump up a stadium expansion thread rather than use a match thread.

Thats an extremely negative and unambitious way of looking at things. Anyway if someone wants to continue this... bump up a stadium expansion thread rather than use a match thread.

15,000 tickets sold since Palace game went on general sale yesterday morning. The game is 8th successive home game sell out.

He didn't actually say how old he is.

How is that 3-5-2? Its 3-7-1, which is 12 players when you add the keeper to it! If you play with 3 centre backs and wings backs, you don't play with wingers as well. The width is meant to come from the wing backs. Boruc is on loan at Bournemouth this season and you'd pick him over Forster?

That is public knowledge really, as when they were announced as sponsoring Saints on 9th May 2014 on the OS... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/09052014-veho-main-club-sponsor-announcement-1544937.aspx

I can't help myself, especially when Turkish has his rod in his hands.

You are putting words in my mouth, it is entirely dependant on the situation as to what I want. In days of Saints in relegation battles, I certainly did not want the teams below Saints to win. Again (as ever) you are twisting what I've said - significantly to suit your petty personal agenda towards me.

"As possible" being the key bit. I don't think Saints are good enough to finish above Man City, I do think it is possible we could finish above Arsenal. So a Man City win helps the finishing above Arsenal situation to stand a better chance of happening. We've played Man City this season and it proved what we should already know, they are better than us. That is still up for question with Arsenal, we're above them and beat them at St Mary's and lost narrowly at the Emirates. Its hardly a "small club mentality" to think that Man City will finish above our team but that we have a good chance of finishing above a team with Arsenal's resources.

You are twisting that somewhat. I suggested... a Man City win allows Saints to have a better change of finishing above Arsenal than if Arsenal gain an extra point. We won't catch Man City, we have a good chance of staying above Arsenal, anything which helps us stay above Arsenal is a good thing. Surely you agree with that... don't you...?

We won't catch Man City, they are significantly better than us. Arsenal on the other hand are a different matter...

You wouldn't have last seasons top scorer? Its a nice choice for Koeman to have, there is more depth to our squad than many appear to think.

You can add another sub to your list, you've only got 6 at the moment.

We don't lack cover at right back, we have the England and Belgian international right backs in our squad. Yes, it means we'd have to move Alderweireld out of the centre, but it is still very high quality right back cover.

It is on Sky. Its been on Sky Sport 1 since 4:45pm. What makes you think it isn't?

Watch the video in the opening post, it tells you his position in the opening 2 seconds and also gives you an idea (albeit extremely brief and selected) as to his ability.

Oskar Cvjeticanin, (who is the 16 year old son of the Slovenian Prime Minister) is on the bench today for the under 18's vs West Ham. Bodyguards at youth team games from now on? [video=youtube;yZJ-XGLDMAs#t=98]
