Twice in one season, unbelievable. Just sign that 10-year contract Ron! Send for the Sculptor.

If Toby signs a deal and with Fonte, Yoshida and Gardos all in good form and still relatively young, where's the space for Turnbull in the next 3/4 years even if we fancy holding on to him? Is it just because he's English and home grown whilst none of the others are and Les has lined him up for the England team?

If they awarded points on the basis of goals scored we wouldn't have to put-up with this anti-football bus parking of the type that WHU and other struggling sides adopt which is ruining the game. Any team would have found it difficult to score against them last night which is quite different to WHU being any good at football. It was very noticeable that when we were passing the ball backwards, forwards and across to try to draw them out of position they just ignored us with all ten of their players sat in formation in their 18 yard box without making any attempt to move towards the ball let alone all get into our half. How many times did Forster actually touch the ball? If this is the natural development of PL football with poorer clubs adopting well rehearsed spoiling tactics to prevent the big money spending star-laden teams at the top playing football as the only way of staying in the league then the PL seems doomed to a very bleak future sooner rather than later. Bloody hell even the Championship is more entertaining than this. If you think about it... once two opponents have mastered the simple art of Nought & Crosses it is impossible for either to win a game. Isn't that exactly what is happening now in the PL? Why do we brag constantly about "clean sheets" rather than goals scored? I'll leave that for you to think about.

Without Morgan we are second rate, imagine what will happen if he does leave in the summer. The worry now is that we are on a slide at precisely the wrong part of the season and the coaches seem unable to arrest it. The lack of quality up-front is becoming embarrassing and it seems unlikely that many of the on-loan wonder boys will make the grade. Still that is probably the big advantage of trying before you're buying. We may have to accept that this is our level with the players we can afford and 6th or 7th is the best we can hope for now. Let's hope Liverpool have an off day when they travel to the South Coast in a couple of weeks time. Certainly our darkest hour this season.

In recent press interviews he mentioned Saints as a six-year project, what do the persistent bedwetters on here make of that?

Every game no problem although never good enough for HD.

Are you for real? Not sure I can ever take you seriously again.

Gary Linnekar?

Deserves all he gets after that touchline collision fiasco yesterday, the bloke is nothing but a thug and I for one will be glad that we don't have to listen to his ponderous whining drivel on MotD anymore. Not surprised he was sacked, an effing disgrace to football. Leicester had no choice after that bizarre behaviour and let's face it their results have been so crap that it is truly amazing that he wasn't given the big heave-ho long ago. Good riddance.

Is there a problem when we are winning? We are finding it more and more difficult to score goals compared with the start of the season which must be a problem because we won't always be this lucky with last minute winners. We need more c creativity going forward, balls into channels is unimaginative and easy to deal with. We don't seem to be able to thread the ball though the middle of packed defences any more, tap and move, tap and move the way Chelsea and Arsenal can on their better days even 'though we have players who can move fast and keep good close control. Time to find a new attacking coach? The defence is absolutely rock solid even when half the subs are used but you don't win matches with clean sheets and on current form if we go one down we seem to struggle.

This is exactly what you would expect from a jealous man who has been publicly humiliated by the fact that his successor at Southampton has produced much better results than he did with arguably at first an on paper far weaker team whose morale had been shattered by all the mass defections. He ain't fooling anybody of any consequence, just look at thos win statistics. Don't ccry for us pocket tiny, truth is we never missed you

No dread for me despite the M for massive F for cock-up on Sunday, this will not be a question of bouncing back, we will absolutely slaughter them. Don't bet against 6-0. Here you read it first....

Doubt it, more likely we needed to get some cash in - for Cork - before we could by Ryan under FPP rules. Other clubs have had plenty of opportunities to snap up Ryan over theirs, none did so. We spotted a rock and turned it into a diamond. Tough on all those other tossers who just want the finished article. What a coup; what are you waiting for now Clyney your mate has signed up for most of the rest of his career.

Ok but Maya has become a superb player during the last few months and played brilliantly in the Asia Cup so if Toby isn't quite ready then don't let's force the issue through panic. Having Morgan & Victor back at Loftus Road will be a real tonic for the team and fans and with Steven Davis in the form of his life yesterday it shouldn't be necessary to worry about the back line. It will be a good time for Matt Targett to show his worth especially with the QPR fast right wingers running at him all the time.

The reality is that the other contenders for top six spots are likely to win all their matches other than when playing each other, so we must at least match them to have any chance. The 3 points lost today will not come back and it is doubtful any of the others would have slipped up in this way at this stage of the season. If we don't snap out of the ineffectual lethargy that overtook us last weekend and this very quickly we will be fighting for 7th or 8th.

As nobody else has mentioned Steven Davis, I will. Wish we had three more like him, never knows when to give up. Great game for him and a fine example to the younger lads who really have been chucked in at the deep end and understandably are struggling to cope week in, week out. Sadly, today we never looked like scoring and raiding the Dutch league yet again for more forwards is not the answer. Tadic, Pelle (and Elia on today's showing) are struggling to get through packed PL defences simply because they have been playing at a lower level before. There is little point in blaming individuals it was team failure to be inventive enough to unpick the lock of the rigidly locked door.

Strange decision really as Swansea surely cannot offer him greater security of tenure in their first team... perhaps they have more comfortable bench seats than our Sunseekers?

On the other hand who is loyal to the players apart from their agents, certainly not the club. Fans aren't either that's for sure, just look at the reaction to Cork leaving. Face up to it, we've dumped loads of really good loyal players on the way up the leagues during the past five years, who probably would have loved to stay here. Let's see, we still retain Davis, Fonte and Schneiderlin from a squad of what 24 or so back then... pots & kettles.

If Chelsea beat Man C and we beat Swansea we're only 3 points off second, anything after that is for the future. Pelle long overdue for a hat-trick too.

Ain't it wonderful that nowadays we are being linked to an endless players wanting to come here, compare that with six months ago when every press rumour was about everyone including the tea lady wanting to move to a bigger club where she could urn more.

This too... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2929174/Southampton-inquire-Feyernoord-midfielder-Tonny-Vilhena.html

Sad to hear but would explain his woeful performance on Saturday when it was clear his mind was elsewhere. Clasie could be on his way in as most likely replacement, remember this? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-eye-transfer-jordy-clasie-5048184

Are you just making it up? Are there really that many fans who can't go for 45 mins without a drink? If so, they must be borderline alkys. In all my many years watching Saints at the Dell & SMS I have never yet seen anybody drinking alcohol during a match. Let's not make mountains out of molehills.

As this is a pointless thread, here's my pointless six penny worth... Similar home kit to this year but the white stripes replaced by the darker colour currently used as rings on our socks. That would look classy!

Where did that come from? Incomprehensible non sequitur.
