Yep, lets just ignore the evidence and blindly believe that everything will be OK because it was for (the first half) half of last season. Just because something worked well for a while last season doesn't mean its going to happen again.

The Solent/Saints Player link dropped just as Blackmore asked RK about the Wanyama situation. Anyone know what he actually said? Although to be honest, after hearing his analysis of the performance tonight anything he did say I would not take seriously, sounds like the meds for his achilles are affecting his thinking.

This is a bit of a myth. If plenty = 3 then I'll agree. The only games we played well without him were Everton, Arsenal and Villa. There were plenty of games when he played when we were poor as well. Its not so much that we are missing Morgan, though we are, but without him we are trying to play a different way and failing. So we miss him because we cannot play the way we did last season.

We aren't bringing a midfielder in. Need some realism rather than this continued blind optimism, some people need to wake up and smell the coffee.

There is much merit in this reply. Take away Morgan from the poor second half of last season and things are looking decidedly dodgy.

I think it is pretty clear he is not happy, he was so ****ed off in the press conference yesterday. I think there is a good chance he will be gone before Christmas.

Not available in your (my) region :-(

Does anyone have any decent streams?

Oh ****

He's been in training galleries for at least a couple of weeks now. Fitness could be an issue still, but seems unlikely considering how much he seems to be features in these galleries pre-match. Just seems like he doesn't fit into Ronald's plans, yet why if that is the case is he training with what is a relatively small group of players? I don't know why, wish one of these so-called journos at a press conference would ask.

Really, thank you for pointing that out. You really are such a font of all knowledge. Here I was thinking that Twitter was our official team selection tool.

See Romeu's tweet, think you might get your wish.

Vic has eatens some bad spuds, Chambers problem was Arse related.

Stomach upset, too many bad spuds.

You're so funny. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34060123 The Dutchman heads a shortlist of four defenders who Southampton are interested in and the clubs held talks about a potential transfer this summer. I suspect the shortlist of players we are interested in does not include the ones we already have.

Apparently we have 3 backups if we fail to get VvD.

Presumably Sam will not play.

Boscombe and Reading are still in, scope for a derby or two without potential embarrassment

Pelle doesn't train because he's too old, anyway that was the reason I was advised before Watford But I see Fonte is training this time. Not surprised about Mane, if he was concussed he won't play or train this week. Can't read much into it though, those who didn't train last week played on Sunday. No Caulker or Martina either.

I'll let you know. But don't hold your breath.

No he had been with Liverpool for nearly 2 months this time last year. I don't think anyone was expecting to hand in a transfer request at Liverpool.

OK, so you also employ sensible people to identify the players needed (I took that as given as we seem to have that already). Anyone that buys Wes Brown deserves everything they get. WE seem to be Chelsea's new feeder club, maybe it will work.

Pedro chose Chelsea over Msn U because London is allegedly bettrr thsn Manchester. Apparently the only reason.

Like Theo you mean? Doesn't work.

Buy them from a Top 4 PL club (we'll see if it works for Bertrand and Romeu).
