Oh do give over with this pathetic drivel. Every time, its "what striker did we miss out on then". Pathetic. Of course we all knew about Pelle before the end of last season didn't we? No hardly anyone had heard of him, except for Mystic Meg. Do you think that our scouts/black box could not identify one striker who we may have brought in? It didn't have to be anyone who is currently a top 6 PL striker. It could have been someone playing in another league somewhere, you know somewhere like Holland perhaps. This is surely what our club and management team are so good at, so some continue to tell us ad nauseum.

Correct, its not sudden, they have been **** for a long time now. Unlucky. Really does make you wonder sometimes about what people see and how they react, it is not unlucky, it is because we have regressed and become clueless in the attacking third, and really it is nothing to do with the opponents parking the bus, our players and our coaches have forgotten what they used to do well. But hey ho lets just get behind the boys again because that's all that is needed. What's needed is to try something different, and drop the players who currently are not doing their job.

Think I may have solved the problem. From the BBC site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31562857): "Southampton responded with some tidy football but failed to test goalkeeper Fraser Forster" If only we would attack the opponents' goal instead of our own.

Oh do **** off with this bloody PC claptrap. Player(s) not good enough, need to stop sticking up for players who are living on their reputation.

Bloody hell, still 13 minutes to go as well.

You typed faster than me

We don't create any chances, that's why Pelle doesn't score. ******. He's just forgotten how to do the simple stuff.

Its a bloody big patch, he has been **** since November. Before that he was good, but like Pelle he got found out and believed the hype.

No...

Clyne had a meeting with his agent to discuss which club to join in the summer.

Note that Toby is featured prominently in today's training gallery headlined "final preparations for the Baggies" on the OS. Seems odd that he is heavily involved in "final preparations" given that Ron said he would not be ready. Guessing he may be on the bench after all (don't see any reason to risk him in place of Yoshida).

I agree about Les, and maybe Ronald as well. But if that little list did leave it would give us a problem with home grown players and its impacts on possible squad size for next season.

We may be able to cash him in in exchange for 100 Green Shield Stamps. Maybe could offer a free Osvaldo with 4 gallons of petrol?

In that case, yes he's from Tassie, Riverside High School (Launceston) according to LinkedIn. Holds UEFA A Licence

Maybe "enough", not the point though is it. Thought we would be aiming for excellence rather than "adequate".

Yorkshire born and bred. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Fleming Only worrying thing in Wiki is the last line: "Fleming is currently studying for his UEFA A Licence."

Man Utd do. OK, you're right they are not a top team any more :-)

Myth. The phrase "early doors" pre-dates even Big Ron's birth, it was used to refer to the times when theatre doors were opened for the plebs to get unbooked seats, and is known to have been used in 1902 (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2295032/Big-Ron-too-late-for-early-doors.html)

We have been told exactly what the issue was timewise, he was late for the pre-match lunch (1pm). If he had been late for when team sheets have to be submitted he would not have been on the bench either.

Of course. Do you have any evidence that there is not a conspiracy?

So will be available for Saints game. Its a conspiracy I tell you.

I guess he didn't get a watch when he signed. Wouldn't have been a problem under Cortese's watch (no pun intended).

Yep, if we can keep above Tottenham and Spurs we will be OK. Lets hope the Lilywhites trip up as well.

Ideal replacement for someone else in the first team in that case.

No we would not. Would be unhappy with the player that did it, ****ed off that the ref gave a bit of a soft penalty, but in the end accepting of the fact that a foul was committed and sanctioned. There is a good case that Friend should have awarded 5 penalties yesterday, plus a handball, plus numerous free kicks against Liverpool defenders. The fact is that he missed so much at both ends that makes his performance unacceptable.
