Lallana is 1 presumably? I didn't see Cork, Lovren, Schneiderlin, Boruc, J Rod in the starting X1 ... who do you think is Saints second 'best' player? Guess you'll say Shaw ..... he's good, but he's not our second best / second most important player.

I was reading the new GCSE Maths specs on Tuesday morning: it will no longer be necessary to teach conversions and equivalents from metric to imperial measures. Switched to the local Kent Online newspaper/website to find that a sink hole had appeared in the central reservation of the M2 measuring '5 metres by 2 metres and approximately 15 feet deep'. Duh!

Chris Martin of Derby as the SRL replacement, you know it makes sense.

Looks like Stuart Hall got unlucky with his jury?

Thanks for the link, always good to read some decent football chat, though with all the names flying about on there you do wonder why the u21's aren't current world champions!

ridiculously late cancellations midweek, anything in the NW could have been knocked on the head by 15-00 today.

This shows it well http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html?tableView=homeAwayTotalComparison We've won 3 of our last 6 away games and only lost once We've won 1 in our last 6 at home (although that did include Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs) Overall we are unbeaten in 6. Looks like if we could maintain our away form next season and win more home games we would be genuinely threatening 5/6 place? We can't win 'every game' but 3 points at home from Sunderland, West Ham, Villa and Stoke is a disappointing return in anyone's book, if we'd won any one of those 4 winnable games we would now be sitting at worst in equal 7th with Man U. Good stuff.

Don't think anyone is saying that he is better than Lovren/Fonte are they? He is third choice for a reason. What people are saying is that he has come in and done well, which he very much has. Perfectly good back up and as people have said CBs need a couple of games to get the partnership going. Not sure we will get a better third choice CB? We might sign a new starter to play with Lovren but I can't see Fonte wanting to drop to the bench at this stage of his career and after the form he's showed this season.

total football?

Think you might get more/better feedback face-to-face with 10 or 15 'interviews'? I had a look at the questionnaire but I didn't complete it, sorry. Lots of closed questions to which I had mainly open answers! What are you studying out of interest?

Done, not sure what my answers tell you but you can only answer the questions put in front of you. Guess you need to find loads of 20-somethings who buy loads of tkts to sold-out events via social media? Interesting proposition though, please come back and post up your conclusions.

Not sure we could easily sign a CB that would displace Fonte or improve the team? We could certainly do with strengthening here squad-wise but not sure new man would be a guaranteed improvement or that the Lovren/Fonte combo has been a source of weakness this season? Much bigger priorities for me would be a top GK and a really consistent, pacey striker; if we had been able to field a top line GK every game this season, Yoshi had played instead of Hoiveld where needed (weird decision?) and Osvaldo had scored 20 goals we could have been top-6 this season.

This so needs to happen but not sure it will! We say this every World Cup and they still seem to cling on till the next one, Glenn Johnson is another one. Blank piece of paper .... Shaw, Cork and Lallana to start plus 8 others ... JRod and Clyne in the squad ... won't happen but it probably should.

Was going to say David Armstrong but Wiki has him down for 1 or 2 apps while with Saints. Would love to have seen Deano play for England, was top drawer in his time for us.

Where's the MOTD theme? Have we just watched history (or have I just been massively whooshed?)

Shane Long, occasional worldie scorer or half decent Prem striker?

Saints third goal class (first time I've seen it).

Where's the9 when we need him?

Fulham and Cardiff will be bottom two. Would like to say West Ham but have a feeling it could be Swansea.

Stoke (h) draw 2-2 Hull (a) draw 0-0 West ham (a) win 0-2 Liverpool (h) lose 1-2 Palace (a) draw 1-1 Norwich (h) win 4-1 Spurs (a) lose 2-3 Newcastle (h) win 3-1 Hard set of games to call, almost everybody else has got more to play for, looks like 8 draws to me but obviously it won't be, they could be almost anything!

Shoo-in for the starting X1, if he maintains form and fitness he could play for England for the next 4-5 years.

7 out of 8 this time, 6 out of 8 in the previous round, that's 13 correct results in the last 16, picked in two 8 game blocks. If you guys want any tips on football betting you know where to come;) Somebody type out the next 8 games and we can do it all again.....

Can anybody spell 'their'? My accy for tomorrow: B irmingham U dinessse L iverpool L uton S aints H artlepool I rthlinborough Diamonds T ottenham Hotspurs Ten pounds pays £680 pounds, don't be jealous, get on now.

Is it 'V' for vagina? The number of ****s on here, he's clearly 'hiding in the light'.

I'd take Tuesday night over pretty much anything, not sure it's an 'either/or' question is it? We still in the FA Cup, I reckon our future is about 100x brighter than theirs, so no I wouldn't swap. We are well on the way to being the best-of-the-rest and we are competitive and stand a chance of winning in pretty much every game we play now (bar Chelsea!). Reckon with the right draws we are a decent bet for one of the cups next season.
