Watching the Wet Ham game. Ossie has some skills, but 2 up front messes too much with our shape. One or t'other, not both.

Always thought Ron Jeremy was well overrated....

Agree in principle, and was contemplating this earlier. SRL looked great for Engerlaand with pace coming from wide. Can't see that being replicated at Saints though. Why spend 15m on a striker then play him wide?

My view is that we can't play them together. They are both excellent pivots around which a fluid middle three can operate. We won't be effective with two pivots. Said it last season and will say it again: SRL, legend that he is , will soon be Saints supersub. Can sentimentality exist alongside progress? Chappers, Hammond and Kelvin were great for us too.....

Close the thread - you nailed it. We can't play with both SRL and Ossie - and please MoPo, don't try that again. This team is nailed on our best 11. SRL coming off the bench late on to cause havoc on a tired back line. 3-1 Saints. Spider, Lallana, Ossie

This. Yesterday we were so far away from the shape that we have become used to it was like watching a different team; no-one performed. Hope we don't try to accommodate SRL and Ossie like that again.

We looked lacklustre and seemed to have no shape, our passing was pedestrian and at times just plain bad. Just no fizz or energy. Personally I am putting this down as a bad day at the office - no more than that; I see no point in drawing wider conclusions on MP, players, tactics etc. However, I absolutely expect a better performance next time out.

Fine. But how is he ever going to get a blowey? If our young players don't get regularly noshed off, how can we possibly progress as a serious football outfit?!

Thank you Deano. Captain of Colchester stuffing Norwich, to captain of Saints legendary rise. Cheers, good luck: a true pro.

I need to see the Warhammer chick. Not want: need.

This is my first thought too. Yes, for first team managers 'its a results-driven business'. Surely for the Academy/U21 teams 'its a youth development-driven business'. With three 18 year old academy graduates in the first team I reckon they're doing all right.

Picking up the new car in about 2 weeks. No doubt the BMW sales guy will try to get me to buy their paint/interior protection treatment; have always felt this is a massive rip off. Audi charge about £450.. Looking for views on whether it is worth getting some kind of protection done, and what I should pay? Could I do an equivalent job with the Autoglym stuff you use at home? Could I get something done via 3rd party?

WOOT! COYyRs! Nuns. Muffins. Tear 'em a new one. Any updates?

It's Happening.

I thought Banega wasn't moving cause his club didn't need the money? I do have a feeling we'll be back for him before Monday.....it seems that The Don does not always believe No Means No.

Wonder if the failed medical was Tadanari Lee? NA was a big fan, and it would explain why he hasn't moved/been linked anywhere else. Digging up and commenting on random posts while off sick. I need to find something else to fill my time today.

Banega? Cresswell? That Senegalese (?) CB we were linked with a week or two back?

SRL should get a spot based on his performance against the Scots, and the fact he offers something different to the core English strikers. He'll be there. If not I will take a dump on Roys car seat.

Was Spider injured in Saturday? Hadn't seen that - assumed it was a tactical sub to accommodate a more attacking intent.

Do we give the fringe players a run out, or go strong with the aim of scoring a hatful? Perhaps give Ossie and Ramirez some game time? Surely our second string could do a job here..... Davis Clyne Fox Maya Jos Spider Cork Ramirez JRod Isgrove Ossie Subs: Gazza, Chambers, Davis, Mayuka, JWP Would love to Lee involved, but won't happen. Give Ramirez and Ossie a run out together, give JRod the chance to find the net.

Moving the ball too slowly; lacking anything in the final third. JWP looks decent, offering some urgency. Lallana not doing much, nor JRod. SRL being well marshalled. Were going longer in the last few minutes. Need some urgency and penetration. Ramirez and Danni on for J-Rod and Lallana please.

Needs a shave and a decent haircut. A nice side parting will do the trick. And some Brillcream. Add a decent tweed suit and we have ourselves a new poster boy.

.....about how much we are all grinning! What an amazing day.

Lets get Monk on the banner!!

I giggled, and that is wrong. Garlic bread.....
