This is what I don't get. How has anyone come to the conclusion that Forster is better than Boruc? I think Forster is OK, and is still young so is great for the future, but whenever I have seen him play he has not looked as good as Artur in any way shape or form (I'll admit I did not see the game against Barca). I thought that Boruc would start this season (especially against Liverhampton given that Forster has not played a game with our defence and only had a week to get to know them). Accepted that Forster would gradually take over as Boruc is looking to go back to Legia next season. Now if Boruc is not going to fight for the GK jersey that puts us in a worse position than last season, a slightly poorer first choice and the same poor backup (with Kelvin another year older to boot). Hope FF proves me wrong, but not convinced.

Ron will not play all three of Cork, Wanyama and Schneiderlin. That would be like having 7 defenders, no-one to link to the attacking players. More likely to be Wanyama, Davies and one of Ward-Prowse, Ramirez or Tadir.

James will be in trouble with the Premier League copyright police

His head is at Bayern Munich. He will never be somebody, just an arsehole.

If the Three Bishops or the Crown in Shorwell do not have Sky Sports, and I don't think they do, closest is probably the Waverley in Carisbrooke, bit closer than the Hogs Head.

Don't know what have they said since that bit was written nearly 4 weeks ago. Pelle is clearly Lambert's replacement.

I think all the strike thing was a myth anyway, even last week it was reported that he was back training with his team mates (on the BBC). I assumed that meant Southampton team mates. Apart from friday when he was given the day off. It was a bit difficult to tell in the video but was he wearing a Saints kit or Spuds? There was one guy who looked to be wearing a fulham kit who looked to have an inflated ego

All these Exodus lists continually fail to mention the departure of Guly. We are still down one net on what was a very small squad.

We still really need a CB, all we have done is replace Lovren, we needed a new CB before he left, otherwise we are left relying on Jos as second backup, and Florin is already injured/not fit. Would be good if Vlaar was still a possibility. Also not really sure who covers as RB with Chambers gone.

but Channon gets the rebound.

Do real people actually listen to this ****e? I guess its called Talk****e for a reason. Completely crackers.

... or at Right Back.

Well apart from the little matter of 10m squids. I suspect Boruc is looking for a move to Legia at the end of the season, suspect he will stay with us till then.

Did you? Interesting that you don't think we could have said no about Chambers but that you think we could about Schneiderlin. Double standards. It does seem strange that we could not have said no to Chambers unless there was a release clause in his contract. How many 18 year olds who have played approx 20 games since being promoted to the first team from the Academy have a release clause in their contract I wonder. Very few, if any I would speculate.

Did it? How do you know, were you there? Clearly something Ralph said was either completely new to Morgan or was completely at odds with what had been discussed if such a discussion took place. Why anyone is so naive as tho think Morgan has just thrown a hissy for no reason at all is beyond me, when it is quite clear that our Chairman said things in public that no professional chairman would have said unless pre-agreed with the player. In the end it may not have made any difference to the result, but there is a way of doing things and Ralph clearly does not know how to go about this type of business. The apologists for the current board have no other view than that it is all the fault of the player. I don't condone what Morgan has done for a moment but it is almost certainly an effect and not the cause. Sadly there is probably no other way out now, and we will not see Morgan play in a Saints shirt again, whether he stays until January or goes before the end of August.

No, and I didn't say that was the case. But he could have avoided Morgan throwing a hissy fit by discussing the situation with him first and/or perhaps not saying outright in public what he did without ensuring that the player knew what he was going to say first. Surely you can't be so naive as to not realise that can you? Why is that people like you who think they know it all cannot accept that sometimes they really have no ****ing idea what they are talking about.

Katharina - accident of birth (inheritance from her father) Ralph - appointment by above with no knowledge/experience of professional football Hofstetter (since departed) -ability to shoot himself in the foot while having his foot in his mouth Your support for our incompetent board is clearly based on sound judgement The only board member who had any idea baout Chambers' abilities was Les Reed, and presumably he was persuaded by the others that it was not a problem letting Calum go.

cormorants = liver birds. "The liver bird is normally represented in the form of a cormorant holding a frond in its mouth"

So clearly he still has all the power. He will not play. Chairman was a total pratt, making a statement like he did without first talking with the player. We now have a situation where we still have a player who will not play, so who has won in this situation? I don't disagree with the idea that Morgan is not for sale and that his contract is such that he cannot leave due to a release clause like some of the others did, and that Saints are perfectly within their rights to say no to his request for a transfer. BUt I do have a problem with a pratt of a director who opens his mouth without engaging brain and causes a situation that otherwise did not need to have occurred.

KL is our 3rd choice keeper? Now I am worried.

If he scores as many as Guly did in his first full season then he will be a star.

Boscombe may not have been as shabby as we thought. Did you see their result today?

Happy clappers.

Pelle og

Got to say thats probably not far off our starting XI for next week, beginning to look a bit better. Add Forster and Florin, and maybe a striker and hopefully Morgan if he can get his head right and thinkgs will look reasonably healthy. Rojo would be a bonus.
