Golac's Iron Gonads

Lineker tweet: Rodriguez, Lambert and now a screamer from Lallana. England are going to **** this World Cup.

I say this in order to invoke the law of the sod 'we aren't going to score are we?'

Shaw will not be convincing Hodgson on this performance, may be the game Cole gets his place on the plane to Brazil without even playing.

Yep, I'm afraid so, but after so many years of still having something to play for in March, be it promotion, survival or cup semis, this all feels a bit flat. Great season, some great football, but I don't feel much about this win, at least not as much as I did when we got a draw back there in the relegation season.

Meh, seasons over, the only thing keeping me watching is seeing the development of the youngsters and Lallana's moments of magic. Ho hum.

Stekelenburg, Vorm or Ruddy.

Looks to me like he's going, wouldn't want Laudrup or Benitez, definitely not Benitez. I wouldn't say no to Adkins returning, but seeing as that's unlikely I'd settle for a Belgian or Dutchman I've never previously heard of (bar the nationality, much like Pochettino), the Dutch seem to churn out decent young players and the Belgians have just begun to, youth/good football seems to be the way we are heading, and generally I feel north Europeans are more suited to English football, because it's just as grim in their home countries as it is here. Who would be happy long term changing the Catalan environs for those of Southampton?

I have missed his avatar, not his posts. However, Pochettino's body language for the last few games is that of a man winding down his last days at work. Going through the motions and off to bigger things. The OP will almost certainly get his wish in the summer, for the good or bad we cannot say.

You knew Cole would score the moment some plank said he was **** on the build up thread. Why do people say it! Now I'm going to have to say that the West Ham defence will not concede more than 2 and will probably carry them to a champions league place.

If Lovren tweets an image of himself kissing the Pompey badge and demanding he be allowed to join them in the summer, and Lallana is caught wearing a Cortese mask whilst buggering a New Forest pony, I reckon Cork could well have a shout

Arsenal 2 Saints 0: What if Boruc had put his foot through the ball as Giroud approached, and Shaw hadn't got injured, could we have snatched a win and gone top?

Boruc this season is reminding me more and more of Grobbelaar, if you know what I mean.

Spend 5 minutes just watching Wilshere, awful, loathsome player. Constantly whinging at the ref, and if not the ref then at his own players for no reason. Might also be heading for a red card this game as he's getting niggly with Coutinho. Utterly brainless.

Any of these clueless football watchers changed their opinion in the last 3 months? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?46909-Lallana-tipped-for-England-cap

Dongdaemun, Seoul, South Korea. -11 tomorrow, my balls are about to begin their winter hibernation somewhere up by my kidneys.

So now we've seen Everton's number 2 keeper is Gazzaniga still the worst in the Premiership?

Gaston's hair is a straight red, surely.

He's the right age for them.

Yes, and they also wisely bought players with premiership experience after promotion, something that we failed to do and would pay dearly for according to the usual planks here.

I look forward to seeing how Boruc fairs behind Fox, Hooiveld, Lovren and Chambers

Get a couple of loans in and save the money for after the World Cup where we'll find a couple of diamonds in amongst the less fancied teams, Costa Rica will probably have a couple of centre backs no one has heard of that will look incredible against England.

GAZZANIGA is Spanish for colossus. Boruc's days are numbered. And the planks will be proved wrong.

Gazzaniga out quickly, snuffs out another attack,

Gazzaniga out well, left up poop creek by the defender

Save! Save! Save! Gazzaniga saves a screaming blistering shot from Aguero, he'll be needing the savlon at half time!
