Give it to Ron

Yoshida yes deffo was very good last season and played a decent part in us staying up. That wont suit your agenda though so dont expect you to agree. I will add Rodriguez his form at the end of last season also kept us up....those performances together with the rest earned us what 90m? I will agree on Forren, Gazza was bought long term and a 1m gamble - Ramirez jury still out but very disappointing.

No such thing as a long ball...just the correct one!

Boruc, Cork, Yoshida, Clyne, Davis

Where does that load of ****** come from - people that have written him off already? I have seen him 3 times and he is as quick as Morgan or Cork !! Did you miss Sunderland second half - did he look slow then?

Still got time for another injury yet!

Ricardo Fuller loan to Ipswich? came back a far better player for us.

That would be the Sharp that couldn't get in the Forest side at times last season?

So they have played 1.5 games together how else is that not knee jerk? What are you basing that opinion on because against Sundeland they looked Ok to me...including Osvaldo putting one on a plate for Jay.

Based on 1.5 games....wow don't give partnerships much time do you. Were you organising another date on your honeymoon?

He has been exactly what we have needed - look at WBA game last season how many times did they stroll through our midfield unchallenged? Against Sunderland he protected the back four so well. I read a few saying he slows us down how did he do that against Sunderland when second half we shifted it all around so swiftly wing to wing? Cant comment on yesterday as only watched the highlights. Saw him this morning watching the academy lads good of him to support them.

He can speak English....he shows plenty of affiliation even watches academy games.

I have watched them a few times now and never been impressed with Stephens and Turnbull as a pairing - play far too far apart massive gaps between them. Turnbull looks more of a marauding midfielder than a centre half. Cropper gets beaten too easily and can see why released from a few clubs previously. Reed the pick of them for me.

The majority ogf our squad were signed in the Championship - how many fringe players will go for any sort of money? To sell we have to have a buyer and when less than 34% of the Premiership are English and foreign imports are available cheatper and less wages where on earth do you expect us to sell them to? Do you really believe Wanyama slows down our fast passing game? must of missed that second half on Saturday then. The person that slowed it down was Lallana first half constantly losing it....

Wanyama? Sharp,Fox, Hammond, Forte, Guly (?) et al together wouldn't add up to anywhere near 4m in transfer fees lucky to get near 2.5.

A few weeks ago my lad referee'd at a tournament in Eastleigh, 2 x 6's from same Pompey team made the final, I was speaking to their manager about the side as they had some very good lads...not one was on Pompey books! She laughed when I asked why not....as I finished I looked up and a Saints scout was taking the name and number of her best player and chatting to his dad!

there is a first Under-21 call-up for midfielder James Ward-Prowse after his impressive early-season performances for Southampton.

So we had a new lawn laid about 14 months ago but have had nothing but probs since. Attack by ants stripped a big area then put dow some weed and feed that killed a bit. I planted some seed and got it back. Now I used After Cut and its killed a massive area of the lawn - what can I use to recover?

I had never driven abroad until a few years ago when we went to France - the toll roads are amazing you hardly see another car! So easy to drive over there. Its a balance - long ferry - seasick? or Dover- Calais but longer drive - factor in tolls and petrol costs.

Home to Glamorgan.....good chance of another final but don't think we have much chance against Notts who look very very good this year. Can't believe we picked Kerrigan above Briggs....but glad in a way keep him away from Cooks captaincy!

Went when we played up there when Lambert got sent off by that numpty ref.... The best bit was the real ale and bought in Ringwood Best, food was terrible overcooked burgers, complete useless servers. The ground was weird with one big stand but the sides not filled in. Its just as well this wasnt about in 70's as everyone queues to get on the same train into Brighton home and away and can imagine it kicks off quite regularly.

He was told if he proceeded with unfair dismissal no redundancy - lawyer advised to take money - but now trying for notice period pay as well. Not the first time for this boss apparently....the other was a woman so he would lose that - swings both ways :-)

Not much you can do if your company doesn't recognise them.....

Just to add... a lady who works for me her husband has just been sacked because the boss didn't like him. He has an outstanding record, had great reviews from customers, got sales bonus etc but his lady boss took a dislike and sacked him. He has been to lawyer and threatened industrial tribunals and was told to accept the latest which is a redundancy package because only 10% of unfair dismissals ever 'win'. No union.

With the 'beer' going up to £4 a pint it will need to be Quickquid loans

I used to agree...then I watched Derby v Blackburn...my god was that bloody absymal football or what! Signing the likes of Osvaldo, Wanyama and Lovren as opposed to Trotman, Euell, Mellis....think I have changed my mind.
