More bullshine from the Wail. How much are Yobbos paying this prat?

Oh Duncan, where's your trousers?

There are no issues here at all. Quite sensibly Morgan will assess the situation nearer the time. Real problem is that interviewers almost to a man/ woman ask leading questions trapping footballers into talking about whatever subject the interviewer wants to make mischief from. Example: "Is it still your ambition to play for one of the BIG clubs in European competition in the future?" Saints very own interviewer is as guilty as anybody on with such questions Example: "Another good win today Ronald, how proud of you of your players for grinding out such a good result and of course another clean sheet?" Is that even a question? Is Ron then likely to say "No, they are a bunch of ******* for not sewing it before half-time."? Of course not he's trapped into a positive answer just like Morgan has been.

It's not so much the player as the culture and system in which they play. Lovren look d good in our system but is all over the place in Scouseland, Toby couldn't nail down a position at Athletico and sat most of the time on the bench and do you think Jose would be first pick at OT, EtS or SB?

Be careful! These agreements are probably not water-tight in a legal sense; if Manure or Mancy comes in for him with a £20m bid do you think Athletico will care about pre-agreements? ...and as we all know, it's not always up to the player where he ends up

Take nothing for granted and just enjoy the ride. When people ask, smile innocently and say only "yes, it is going rather well at the moment". You will be admired for being a well balanced supporter of the team of the moment.

What a pointless thread and of course we will sign both....

What game were you at? Clyne 6? What were you taking before the match?

Much more one sided than most have said in their interviews. 65% possession is not how I saw it, much higher. Fantastic performance from Nat Clyne, my MotM by a mile despite Shane's 2 goal wonder appearance. Great to watch and you just knew they'd do it as Leicester faded through fatigue. Leicester are not PL quality regrettably, the gap to the Championship is growing by the year and with the promoted clubs occupying the bottom three slots, maybe any club coming up that doesn't have high finical backing will have no hope of staying up. Maybe we and WHU are the last of the lucky ones.

The problem is not the players or the squad it's that Hodgson is way past his sell-by date as for Lewington - well words fail me. If all else fails shout louder at the players seems to be our world class strategy.

Old Ralph knows how to get the teardrops flowing that's for sure. Wouldn't it be nice to have 20 years of stability and twenty years of the Southampton Way with all our old boys asking if they can come back - except Judas Lallana of course - but we say sorry, son you're too old and slow.

Who says we have had an easy start? We can only beat what's put in front of us / we all start from 0 / it's always XI v XI ..and what about Goals For and Goals Difference etc?

William Shakespeare once wrote a famous play about kitmen... "Much Ado about Nothing"

But surely the Club must take some responsibility for Gaston's situation, it is not in their interest that he should languish in a backwater like Hull and become virtually worthless. Les should find him a club either back in South America or Italy that will take him on loan and give him game time. You can't just loan players out and ignore what happens to them as if it is none of our business. We have a moral and financial responsibility for all the players we sign whilst they are on our books and only a fool would allow their assets to rot away. We are a caring club are we not so let's start caring about this guy until he is happily re-settled and playing regularly.

All we have to do is keep picking up more points that anybody else, simples... Why Not? Let's have no more defeatist talk around here pleas!

Even van Gaal is at it now... "Chelsea & Man City are the best two sides in the PL" !!!!! Probably jealous of an embarrassed by Our Ron's success at team building which has been conspicuously absent at Old Trafford under his watch.

To be fair Jason our team have had a winning mentality for the past 5 years as we won the JPT, stormed through League 1 and the Championship and on up the Premier League. Never looked back since Mr Liebherr bought the club.

Well done once again to the lads. Where they get their stamina from is anybody's guess but boy did they look knackered at the end. City, Gooners and Manure in 7 days is going to be one hell of a test of strength and character but arguably it may have been much tougher physically playing Stoke twice in succession.

You should not worry too much, have you ever seen a happier player? He's found something at Southampton that suits him and has inspired him at 29, not many strikers of his age would come here to do more than play out their final two or three seasons at the top level in a 'second tier' environment without overmuch pressure on them. For him it is like a second birth and he won't throw that away easily. He's settled, he's happy, he's realistic and my bet is he will keep banging 'em in as a Saint for as long as Ron is here and don't rule out Ron being here for a long time.

Sadly, you may be right.

Great reminder to take my ear plugs. Are you deliberately trying to make us all sound like brain dead morons?

No Morgan in today's training footage, hope that kick on the foot he got from (DFB) Adam isn't a serious injury. Anybody heard anything?

I'd settle for the 'old' Aguero personally.

Sure made hard work of that, Gardos made a few errors and then lost confidence. Wanyama's distribution is awful. Targett still has a great deal to learn. This is why they don't start every week. Give away five corners in a row and the law of averages says one is bound to go in. Credit to Koeman, he didn't panic even when they clawed two back and gave the reserve lads almost a full match despite their lack of match fitness, that showed in the last quarter of an hour, only bringing on reinforcements to shore up the defence for the last 5 minutes. Adams is a dirty ba**ard.

It would be nice to think that Les Reed stated this rumour just as a tit-for-tat with the Yobos, 'we can poach your players anytime we like as well'. More likely Kane's agent putting pressure on Pochettino, pick me or I'm off. Problem for Rodrigues is where does he fit in as first pick now that things at SMS have moved on so much.... and still we cannot know if he will recover fully and ever be as sharp as he was before. Obviously other clubs don't know that either so any real interest or bids will be next summer if Jat has starred playing again, playing well and can break into the first team as first choice No ??. Long way to go on this one and if the treacherous Argie really does depend on a seriously injured striker recuperating slowly at a different club then the likelihood is he will b long gone before Jay is even considered a prospect again.
