Give it to Ron

That would be the Connolly that was hated then.... Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Jan 31 Think there will be a few people at @pompey toasting Connolly's departure. Not the most popular character in the dressing room

I loved Nigel here BUT the Prem for me was half a step too far for him - I'll give an example by looking at Fulham away. Last year we played Fulham on Boxing Day - we tried a formation we hadn't tried before - no-one knew what they were doing for 20 minutes and we went one down - luckily Fulham were so sh1te they couldnt do anymore. We then took over and many could see we need 2 up front we were dominating but Lambert was outnumbered we bought on Rodriguez with about 8 mins left and we got an equaliser courtesy of Baird taking pity on his old side ;-). Fulham this year - we were struggling and not doing what we should have - at half-time he brings on Cork - changes Lambert/Rodriguez formation and we win comfortably by good tactics. Thats the difference for me. Takes off Lambert/Lallana v Man Utd then does the same 2 weeks later - sorry think we would take a step backwards - I will always look out for him and his sides and wish him well for what he did for us.

Is the team bus going the long way round to Fulham?

Talksport got that wrong it came from Poch press conf saying he had signed for Fulham - he hasnt yet

This was posted on Twitter not sure if correct but wow: Pablo Osvaldo has been in 8 different teams (Juventus 9th) in last 9 years but never reached 50 starts for any of them.

I have no problems with that at all - just we are now reliant on an 18 year old.....I am perhaps overeacting but since that Twitchy Judas b8stard set our kids up am always 'over protective'.

Show me a negative comment about Gallagher? Dont make things up! Read what was actually written - if lambert get injured or Rodrigues who else is there apart from Gallagher are you happy to just throw him in? We need to nurture not feed him to the lions. To add....there is no-one in the whole of Europe that is not better than what we had on the bench the other night? I have no problem with Sam starting but am concerned that he is going to be relied on too much this is a cruel game.

Yep also the fact that Saints are the only club that does loans with views to permanent deals......or not so we cant use the money we would get for Osvaldo later.

will need to cost no more than £6m or so - why??? Is no worse than the players in our first 11 - do we not have a squad anymore or just 11?

Puncheon permanent to Palace about to be announced - shame but he is doing well so good luck to him.

No he likes the free coffee he gets with his Waitrose card - a very good branch.

So you are happy with Guly as the only back up striker if Lamberts calf re-occurs? What if Gallagher has a run of mare games - he is young and need nurturing in the coming few weeks. He visibly shrunk after that miss. Sorry can see what you are saying but don't agree our squad is good enough to see out the season with what we have up front. Unless Puncheon comes back :-)

Pablo Daniel Osvaldo : The attacker wants Juve , he asked us to wait for now does not evaluate other offers arrived at Southampton . And Juve could do the task regardless of the situation involving both blocked Quagliarella who Vucinic . Even Count pushing in this direction. In the last minute there was a survey of the ' Inter to understand the situation well. But the will of Osvaldo for now is clear. Despite the Valencia continues to push.

You need to sack your contact :-) MP says @DejanLovren05 and @gasramirez10 are still out, but Rickie Lambert is back in training and will be in Saturday's squad

All have their good points.....Millbrook has The Saints pub, Bevois Valley The Guide Dog, Portswood Kohinoor, Shirley Warren has The Diamond House - used to have a good football team as well...I skippered them for a few years.

No its too cold up there....they don't have the New Forest, Beaulieu, Winchester, Isle of Wight

The club have said several times no-one is leaving they want to keep...do you honestly think we will sell Morgan in January??

Vucinic on loan to Arsenal - medical tomorrow apparently

No indication of why he resigned from your source? Kat p1ssed him off? Better job...found out he was promoted above his level of competence?

What difference does that make ...whats his Fifa 2014 ranking thats all that matters :-)

But they have no time and need to resolve thgis one quickly - short term loan with player in exchange makes sense - did you see our bench last night??

No there is not a self righteous thing going on - most posts are in support of the players - its been reported they don't want him back thats why many posters are saying what they are. If you have played in team sports and had a bad apple you will know what that can do.

Really?? did we get stuffed at Sunderland last week?...I am not going to say any more as we will probably get beat tomorrow now :-) but jeesh I know you love to dramatise things but: Has there been a mass exodus? Have we lost any top players of the squad through sales? Has the manager walked out? Have we sold to a gun running, child maiming, Latvian/Lithuaian mafia boss? Has ken Bates bought the club?

I doubt very much if he is contrite at all given his history of doing this. I cant see how he weakens the squad after all he has hardly played in the last few months has he. Forget the money we have paid, that can be earned back in the next few seasons by buying the right replacement. You cannot put a price on team togetherness look at Sunderland under Di Canio they were a mess - Poyet who I dislike immensley has got them playing some good stuff. Osvaldo will do nothing but harm to team morale if he stays - will anyone want to tackle him in the future - is that good for team shape and defensive training?
