Stu Man Do

Seeing as he highlighted the Davis injury before the reserves played last night wouldn't it have made sense to move Rowe Seaver or sims up to Sheffield (they were only in Nuneaton) so we could fill the bench. Not many attacking options in that lot is there?! Solid first team but not seeing a lot of creativity in that little lot!

Newcastle? I thought it was odd they highlighted his kicking which I actually think is pretty decent! Better than Boruc! I'd say his area to improve in would be the low shots to down to his right seems to not read them so well.

Thought it was a mistake to bring him on as I don't think I've ever seen him do anything positive. Long at the time was best attacking player for us. Would far rather see a game for Seager (sp?)

41:09-50 please

Part of it up here. Que people reading lots into it I'm sure. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29849537

Three actually two leg semi final if I recall correctly!

In fairness to Forster he has been pretty dominant crosses wise whilst at st Mary's. Saying that he hasn't had a whole heap to do so far at home and I would certainly like to see him get in some serious practice against these type of low down shots he seems to have a small issue with.

Chelsea away you watch!

Stoke City v Southampton (19:45 GMT) Posted at 18:49 Stoke City starting XI: Begovic; Bardsley, Shawcross ©, Wilson, Pieters; Cameron, Nzonzi; Walters, Bojan, Arnautovic; Diouf Southampton starting XI: Forster, Clyne, Fonte ©, Gardos, Targett, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Tadic, Long, Pelle. Stoke looking half decent too. Should be a good game.

If they wanted a good team goal they needn't have looked much further than our very own Morgan vs Newcastle, 41 passes and a great finish. Had it been at Utd, City , arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool we'd never have seen the end of it.

Wow doesn't come close to summing that up. The papers will no doubt highlight their weakened defence but with their injury list it isn't that far from the first team. Saints looked up for it and tactics were spot on by RK. Mane; looks like one hell of a player! Gardos also hugely impressive. The whole team looked happy to be out there and they really are a joy to watch. Bournemouth at home in the next round please would be great to see!

Surprised besiktas let him go, he's kind of a big deal around there http://m.quickmeme.com/img/5f/5fe03ddff8bc25ec63b2ae5db308290ee87ceeea1c6f1c1c4d0a035b1af7e66e.jpg I'll get my coat.

Would hope at that price and with the mane deal nearly done that we'd have enough sense to tell them to do one! I'd say no out of principal that it's spurs!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yGxgHXqHWuo goals albeit with Russia commentary for those that want it! Great result, onwards and upwards!

I think the pressing game would also help Pelle out. Win the ball further up the field, more midfield support and less punting it forward to the big man when we win it 30 yrds from our own goal. Seems silly that the pressing style we have been building towards as a club for the last 2 years seems to have been left for dead. As for Saturday hopefully we will get two* 2nd half performances in a row. Fed up of losing to Hoof Ham with a couple of hammerings since we've been back in the prem!

I'd just about take him on a free! Massively overrated. Can't cross for toffee and about one in ten of his shots hit the target. Sad state of affairs when the media build up dross like this. It's no coincidence the blokes been loaned out what? 9 times? No where near good enough for a top 6 side and at ten million for us would be a huge blunder.

Echo the above comments really, should JRod really be answering questions about how much he likes working with the manager of another team that want to transfer him. Have a word media department.

Got mine today, thought it was a bit naff really! The booklet was a waste of money I don't need to be told why people are saints fans I am one! Save the money saints and just give us a discount next year

Did well to make it to 246 after that start but seems like anything that was in the pitch has disappeared with Essex currently 70-1. What has happened to our form in the last few weeks? Also does anyone know why Shah seems to have been ditched from the T20 team? Thought he did well when he played and having that experience in the middle overs ala Mckenzie is sorely missed at the moment.

Read on a Cardiff forum they we're debating whether or not they would accept 10 million plus Fonte for Marshall ... Deluded much!? Good keeper but if we pay anywhere north of 8 million for a keeper especially a just relegated one we've been mugged!

Some of the helmets tweeting him about going with pretty flimsy evidence need to have a word with themselves. Telling him to F off is hardly going to want to make him to stay now is it?

People keep trotting this out with regards to players including Shaw and Lallana on here and now Fonte? If he is easily replaceable with better why has he survived here for 4 years as a first team player despite a number of other CB's coming in?! Madness, deserves a new contract as does Cork. Sort it out board!

Perhaps I'm being thick but I was under the impression that you could only discuss personal terms with a club once a deal has been agreed with the selling club? Be nice if all the "ITK" Journo's talked United into a tapping up charge though ;-) If he does go for 30 million we have to ensure its not based on appearances etc. Money now or see you later Louis!

That Blackmore tweet makes this even more annoying! We've been forced into selling someone under value because Liverpool say they'd move on otherwise? I'm more concerned though about the impact selling Rickie has on the dressing room team spirit that seems to have been our trademark over the last few years. All well and good talking of boyhood teams but it's barely a month since Lambert was talking of being a saints fan.
