Our first choice defence is probably Shaw, Lovren, Yoshida, Clyne. That wasn't the defence at any point today.

Not particularly. He missed some games with a virus, rather than injury. Again not a sign of injury proneness.

Being injured in a clumsy tackle, does not mean you are injury prone. It could happen to anyone.

So a players clatters into him and that makes him "injury prone"?

Simply means Saints are continuing to use their 4-2-3-1 formation from last season.

And Shaw, as Hodgson is managing the under 21's on Tuesday.

Because Lallana is a better player, despite what a number of people on this forum say.

He is currently in training, just not ready for a game.

Yes, Pochettino signed Osvaldo on loan in January 2010 and then permanently in August 2010.

I have had Turkish on my ignore list for the last month.

We've been called "Southampton St Mary's" before, so isn't reverting to older names "traditional"?

You've twisted what I've said quite considerably.

Its hardly a huge change. Their current badge already has a large picture of a tiger and the words "The Tigers" written on it.

Well if Hull stick with Hull City Tigers for 100 years+ like we have with our 4th name then that will become "tradition". People are fixated that football shouldn't change when it does constantly and new "traditions" have been created. Anything that is different from the original club when formed is a deviation from "tradition". I'm not saying Southampton should have a name change, what I'm saying is the whole notion of tradition in football is flimsy.

Our club has had four names since 1885... St. Mary's Young Mens Association St. Mary's Football Club Southampton St Mary's Southampton Football Club

Richard Chaplow and Steve De Ridder had their contracts cancelled by mutual consent.

Lambert Rodriguez Mayuka That is 3 strikers.

Saints want Icelandic striker Alfred Finnbogason according to this... http://www.sportsdirectnews.com/premier-league/29637-southampton-transfer-news-saints-want-icelander.php

How do you know this with such certainty?

Thats not a monitor...

pap and I had a good game last night. We had random Civs, I was the Dutch, he was the Persians and we are currently in 1868 AD.

When are you free to play? Any preference for game/map type? Anyone else interested?

Anyone interested in having some Saints Web Civilization V multiplayer games? Ideally with the Brave New World update.

Unless he is signing for us the following day, there is little reason for him not to play in a match for the club that pays his wages just because a transfer might happen at some point.
