Large number of Saints players with CA increases, only a few with decreases.

There will be a free demo roughly a week before the game is released, like there was last year.

The Osvaldo one was added after Saints played, but he has since played for Italy.

Beta has been live for 5 hours and no complaints (yet)!

If you mean between Saints and Pompey? Then that has never happened, as there has always been British born players involved in every game between the two. I'm intrigued as to where Fraser Nelson got his information, as it is completely wrong.

Well it was a daft question.

Same as there is every time qualifying playoffs occur. Of course they wouldn't have them clash with European domestic leagues, not sure why anyone would think they would.

Jack joined Saints in April 2011. He did not play for the first team that season or have a squad number. He did not play at St Mary's in the 2010/11 season. The player in that photo is wearing the 2010/11 kit on the St Mary's pitch and is wearing number 33 which was Dale Stephens number in the 2010/11 season. Are you being serious or doing this for ****s and giggles?

I don't know how to put this any other way... you have got them mixed up.

You are the one that has them the wrong way round.

You've got them mixed up.

They have Jones or Smalling to use at right back tonight. Although Clyne would be a better option as a natural attacking right back, he wasn't going to get a callup for the Poland game.

On what grounds does an employee having a relationship with the 19 year old daughter of his boss warrant a fine from his employers?

She is 19, Zaha is 20. Zaha has also denied those rumours.

I find that very hard to believe. He was clearly signed (by the club if not Adkins) to be first choice, but gaining fitness after no pre-season and then the bottle incident delayed him starting regularly until January.

Watch this in 1080p HD and you will see a big improvement from FM13...

Dell sized mentalities!

People try to defend him but he is completely out of his depth in the Premier League. His positional awareness is very poor as is his passing, lack of pace and Swansea were clearly targeting him by trying to get Dyer on the ball at every opportunity. I was surprised he started and was then left on for the entire game whilst clearly struggling to cope. In Luke Shaw's absence, Clyne should have been the left back marking Dyer and use Chambers at right back. That would have helped cut off Swansea's main line of attack and may have allowed Saints to impose themselves more. We were lucky to get away with it today, as Fox really was as the article says is "an accident waiting to happen". Fox is a solid Championship level left back, passable back up for a bottom 6 Premier League club but really not an option for a club with the aspirations Saints have to compete in the top half even as a squad player.

- In my original post, I agreed that should Shaw get injured, Chambers right back/Clyne left back would be the solution - I stated Targett is closer to the first team than he was previously. He has now trained more with the first team and Pochettino has seen more of him. - If Fox were to go to Bolton in the coming days, it has to be as an emergency loan and not a season long loan. Chambers/Shaw/Clyne should be enough for full backs for the next 3 months and if need we also can shoe horn in Cork or Yoshida, with Targett being an extra option as a specialist left back. - Targett has recently changed his allegiance from Scotland to England with his recent callup to England under 19's so is at least being considered at a national level in his age group.

Again, all I said was he was "closer to the first team". You are looking to twist my words for ****s and giggles.

I don't, and I didn't say that. I agreed if Shaw were to be injured/suspended then it would be Clyne at left back and Chambers at right back. All I said is that Targett is closer to the first team than he was previously. He has had more time training with the first team, Pochettino has seen more of him in training and decided him worthy of a place on the bench for the first team. I did not say it is likely he'll be used in the coming months if Fox leaves.

Featuring on the bench for the 1st team for the first time suggests he is closer to the first team than he was previously, does it not? "Getting closer to the first team" is all I asserted. As usual people on this forum taking my comments either out of context and/or twisting them. Luckily I've now had Turkish on ignore for many months now, which eases the problem.

I'd prefer that than Fox playing. Plus Matthew Targett is getting closer to the first team.

Its not risky, as the stock market can be manipulated using criminal actions. Target a companies vehicles and destroy them to bring down the price, buy lots of stock in that company and then target the rival companies vehicles to make your investment rise in value.

I'd be disappointed with 10th and would be thinking they could have done better, so would Cortese, Pochettino and the Saints squad. Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Everton are 7 teams likely to finish above us (although we are closing the gap on Everton quickly). But which two other sides are better than us for us to finish 10th? Swansea City? Who else? Given the investment in the team over the last 2 years Saints should be looking at overtaking Swansea, West Brom etc. 8th at worst is what Saints should be looking to achieve this season.
