Gonna be a tough one - Stoke are a good side and especially at home. If we can handle their set pieces then I fancy us if not, then Stoke will win it.

More regular pot smokers in this country than regular church goers. Says it all really.

He thinks he's Dickens - getting all draconian/victorian. Mind you when you "support" a club like that, that's so out of touch what should I expect. The ground is Victorian, the people are all so bothered with their "history" (but never learn from it) and the players are part time members of fagans mob (you gotta pick a pocket or two or every UK tax payer).

Watch bowling for columbine if you want to see America's attitude to guns. The opening scene's show how if you open a bank account they give you a free hunting rifle! Bet Jesse James would have loved a bank like that!

What has he ever done? Always been rubbish whenever I've seen him play. Can't beat players on the outside or the inside - so not much cop for a winger.

Totally in control performance.

Agree with OP - not on booing a player coming on. That will really inspire him to do his best.

And thats one of the duels that will be of most interest to me.

Has he actually played yet?

MFG - send us the photos me old mucker.

Yep and none of you returned my flag!

In the dressing room where it should be. Cannot believe the amount of posters who try to knock NA for being positive and having the intelligence to quote the art of war

Yep it is.

1, What proof of tension do you have? 2, Really? Which games? 3, Might is the key word. 4, Surly AOC was a massive recoup? 5, Yep he is. 6, No it wouldn't and rarely used? 7, Liverpool will not be looking at Lambert IMHO. 8, Liverpool will not be looking at Lambert IMHO. 9, You could be right but SRL doesn't seem the type to jump ship in its hour of need. 10, Not a reason to get rid of your best striker in January. 11, LOL. I also think he will stay as I don't think he is planning anything else move wise.

Sounds as if Cork has made a big difference. Great result and performance which should give us a shot of confidence going into the Newcastle game. COYRAWM!

AOC included in that Chez? I get your point tho'.

To be honest I never agree with a word you say but on this occasion you're spot on.

Probably the most sane comments I've seen on here in a long time. Consistency is the key and we have not had the chance to gain that - mainly (IMO) due to injuries. The best I've seen our defence play was in the second half against villa (didn't do to shabbily in the first either) but when have we had the same personnel available since then? As to defending from the front totally agree good teams work as a unit both in attack and defence.

And there was me thinking it was NC that screwed up all of the transfers that didn't happen with his bombastic take it or leave it approach. Oh well another lesson learned then.........

A couple of wins and NA's job will be fine (not that I think it isn't). I personally think that NA is (as the team are) finding his way in the PL which is no bad thing and not a reason to give him the tin tack. I think he'll come good as it would appear he is a quick learner and some of the lessons dished out to us over the last few games would have hurt. What I really don't want is for Saints to get on the manager merry go round as it has never served us well in the past.

He's not a captain IMHO. The pressure that puts on him seems to have had a negative effect i.e. he thinks he can resolve things on his own so therefore is playing all over the place which means he is not covering etc as he is out of position.

2-1 saints.

Fox was good with AL in front. One of the problems with Adam in a more central role IMHO.

Hope so! Do not like the kit we have now. SOS.

Probably one CB light TBH. That will no doubt be rectified in the next transfer window.
