Matthew Le God

Updated table after 20 Premier League games...

He'd only be a loss if he wasn't replaced in the same window. Both Hooiveld and Yoshida are below the level Saints need.

I think Lambert and Lallana were going to go regardless of Walcott's injury.

This is a fake Twitter account with only 2 followers and only 1 tweet... https://twitter.com/SouthamptomFC Also why would the club add a ! at the end of the sentence?

First referee appointment decision after all this and they send us the World Cup final ref... Premier League ‏@premierleague 23m Howard Webb has been appointed referee for Southampton v West Brom on Saturday 11 January #SOUWBA Don't mess with the Don!

This is from training at Staplewood on 30th December 2013...

I want the same as I do for every cup draw... the easiest opponent left in the competition at St Mary's, so Southampton have the best possible chance of progressing and winning the cup.

Downing is unbeaten in the league, maybe a new manger would actually be better for us.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC1h Jesús Pérez: "He (Lambert) got a dead leg. We don't want to take any risks when we are in a tough period for injuries." #saintsfc Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC1h Jesús Pérez: "Same with Gastón [Ramírez]. He played 90 minutes in the last game. We don't want to take risks." #saintsfc

The Saints forum http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?5-The-Saints is for "100% Saints discussion." The General Sports forum http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?39-General-Sports is "discussion of general sporting topics including non-Saints-related football and all other sports. The old cricket and motorsport threads have been moved here". You also appear to be one of the many people that don't understand the definition of irony.

Saints related? Or random Barry Sanchez musing?

We have our 3rd and 4th choice centre backs and our 2nd choice keeper playing today. We all know we need more strength in those areas and left back cover for Shaw.

Today's game counts as part of the ban, his fitness situation is irrelevant to any suspension.

He is already back, his loan was until the beginning of January. http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/billy-sharp-left-limbo-reading-6462208

More likely Rodriguez, Lallana, Ramirez as the front three when Lambert and Osvaldo are unavailable.

If it were a Championship game today would you not be happy with a centre back pairing of Hooiveld and Yoshida? Hooiveld has already proven himself to be a good Championship centre back even if he struggles in the Premier League.

Both are childhood supporters of Saints and Ings was released by our academy aged about 14.

I think as Clyne is returning from injury and Chambers did well in his absence so they were happy to bring Clyne back gradually. Clyne starting today is getting him ready for next week. I think Chambers is still our 3rd choice fullback, behind Shaw and Clyne but ahead of Fox.

I don't, why do you?

Shaw and Clyne play pretty much as wingers, they'll be providing the width today.

Well Window_Cleaner was very wrong!

Seems to be random people claiming on Twitter that Andy Carroll failed an internal drugs test and West Ham "covered it up" and face a points deduction.

Can you give an example of some of these "attacks"?

As a Europa League spot through the league is only guaranteed with a 5th place finish, if you are good enough for that you won't be far away from a Champions League spot.
