Why do some people expect him to be scoring lots of goals. He is not an out and out striker, he is a creative midfielder. There is a lot more to his game than scoring goals. Some people seem to have unrealistic expectations.

So, lets see, Walcott wants to leave Arsenal because he wants to play as a striker. So our fans suggest he would be good on the right (he actually played some of his best games for us on the left). Of course he will come back so that he can continue to play where he does not want to play and probably for less money. Bit like those fans who suggest Mayuka playing on the right of MF or Lee on the left of MF, or like managers who play J-Rod on the left of MF. George Burley is rightly castigated for playing players out of position, or playing Jermaine Wright at all, but it seems he is not the only one who wants to play people in bizarre positions.

Darren Farley (who?) predicts 7-4 to us. WTF is he on? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20784357 Never quite understand Lawrenson, all of his "analysis" says Southampton will be good and then his prediction comes out of the blue

Excellent, so the plan is working.

Actually what is weird is people who cannot cope with other people, adult or not, having a bit of a laugh and perhaps enjoying themselves. I don't understand Gangnam either, but if people want to have a bit of a laugh and enjoy this so what. If people really think this is weird then perhaps take Nigel's advice and take a look in the mirror. Its weird people who think other's behaviour in this type of thing is weird, bit like Turkish having a problem with other people dressing up. Generally people who don't get out much have problems like this.

Guly finished against Reading, didn't he? K. Davis, Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Shaw, Puncheon, Cork, Schneiderlin, Lallana (Ramirez 40), Lambert, Rodriguez (Guly 78).

Top Rank I heard.

So if Mayuka is at 85, I would expect to see another dozen or so Saints players in the next instalments. I'm guessing that Messi will be #2 with AL ahead of him. Rickie should be comfortably in the Top 10 along with Gaston. Expect to see Chung about 70. I heard that Danny Fox was #101. I wonder what numbers our three keepers will be. No offence to Emmanuel, who I am sure will turn out to be a bargain, but difficult to justify this ranking on evidence so far.

Never said you were, you seem to have assumed you are. If the cap fits and all that. Don't think you have really even figured on my radar before. I was referring to real uber posters who are all knowing.

He is not good enough because 2 or 3 uber posters on this board say he is not based on nothing other then their ignorance. I think this was meant as a bit of a joke, so whoosh!!

Some people don't need to dress up to be embarrassing. People who are "embarrassed" by what other people do really are the most embarrassing people around. No life, no sense of humour, have to make their lives interesting by sitting around all day making up stuff for a message board. Embarrassing to think that you claim to be a saints fan or a football fan. I suspect you are not, just a mong (hate that term but as you use it more than most it seems befitting).

Any chance of Kompany for company as well?

Saints Forum posters are not clueless journalists. Not journalists at all.

Given how long they have been running, we should be seeing the fruits of their endeavour starting to come through, certainly at the Academy level. Any evidence of this yet? I know kids who went to Brazilian Soccer Schools who are in their late teens now.

Just confirm Ron, are you really talking about the U12s or the U21s? There seems to be some confusion. I would have thought if you were talking the u21s it would be quite easy to sort out his name, u12s may be different. This is a thread about the u21s so maybe that's why some people are not seeing that you are typing "u12s".

Good to have lost the tag of worst defence in the PL. Wigan equalled us at the weekend and now Reading have surpassed us by 2 goals already.

Don't be silly, everyone on here knows that he is rubbish and will never make a PL player. Have you read nothing on here by those who know?

Number of chances is just a meaningless stat, says nothing about the quality of chances. Never mind the quality feel the width.

Do you think Big John or Razor would get booked most games these days? I don't. I think it would be straight reds In Big John's case he would be given a straight red for scaring the opposition striker of today to death before the end of the warm-up. Great days.

It would depend if we paid on the way in or on the way out :-)

Frankly would be astonished if club say anything before next Thursday. The club don't do announcements about injuries, frustrating but in general a good thing. That said there is a short piece on Sky that implies with the week off AL may actually not miss a game at all. Probably ****** though.

I'm sure Frank's uncle would put in a good word for us.

Your question was "who should ppl in Surrey support" (I assume ppl means people), so the answer Palace, Charlton and AFC Wimbledon was perfectly correct. since the clubs are (or at least historically were) in Surrey. If you read your own post you will understand the answer given.

Yes, I recall we did this in 1976. We knew in January we were nailed on for a Wembley triumph.

Crystal Palace, Charlton, AFC Wimbledon. I'm sure I've missed someone.
