Golac's Iron Gonads

Ideal scenario would be he plays an absolute blinder for 85 minutes then an innocuous challenge leaves him out for 10-16 months.

tell you something I believe, we'll lose to Fulham.

got us at 28-1 for relegation before we signed Lemina and Hoedt based on how badly we finished the last season. If you can't score you're in trouble and we did nothing to rectify that. Can already cash out for 200% profit. Stuck another bit on when we hit 15-1 after 6 easy games we didn't win.

I'm looking forward to all the bad karma emanating from many Saints fans hitting his right ACL in about mid January.

Should be building the attack (team) around Boufal but barely plays him. Get out of here scouse git.

They're just dishing out their secret santas.

I will be captaining Kane in my fantasy team.

That's naughty, not impressed

You talking about your predictions of 17th over the seasons when we finished 8th, 7th and 6th?

Last post so I'll just say Yoshi player of the season, one of the few that bloody cares out there. Just before their 2nd goal he was the only bloke t run the length of the pitch to chase down the counter and cleared an almost certain goal, which they still scored from the ensuing corner.Now he rises like a salmon at the far post to thump in a header only for snidey get Tadic to brush his foot on it and claim the goal. Viva Yoshida!

Pellegrino had the same look Hodgson had against Iceland when he realised he'd just put Jack Wilshere on to rescue the game

reckon a Van Dijk straight red would give him time off til after christmas and that January move.Mr Vardy you are a brave man if you get within 4 yrds of him, though the effort VVD is putting in I don't think he's been that close to a Leicester forward all evening

Not blaming Hoedt for that. I want to know who was the central midfielder that passed it back. There were only 2 players between him and forster so he must have had 7 options between him and the Bournemouth goal. But he chose to play it backwards despite having no one on him and ample time to look down field. Absolute tosser whoever it was. No need to go backwards at all and we got punished for such negative play. Looked like it was either davis, ward prowse or romeu

Not playing too badly, high tempo, high pressing this is the sort of shocking performance I can appreciate

40 seconds in Tadic rolling on floor clutching his thigh, god I love that fella.

I'd love to see the Beeb, Radio and SKY have to report that Southampton haven't turned up literally rather than metaphorically.

Take the fine the F.A will give us and just don't even bother turning up. If possible get a doctor's note and throw a sicky and start preparing for the Everton game.

A keeper much maligned here. Unfairly I thought and I often said I fancied him to become a good keeper. But many said he didn't save shots, positioning was all wrong and he used the wrong hand to save with. Well he's got his chance against Palace today and I'll be watching keenly to see how he's progressed. Relevant given our current goalkeeping incumbent.

I'd say our squad is weaker than the one Adkins had in his brief time as our manager in this division. We've sold the soul of our club (Fonte, Lambert, Schneiderlin, Lallana) thought we were being clever by replacing them but ended up with a team of players who view us as a stepping stone. I feel nothing for any of our current squad, only feel pity for Gabbiadini and actively dislike more of them than I did when we were struggling season on season back in the 90s. We're in trouble and really could go down, but if it meant building a team of players who felt something for their team mates or even the club I'd take it again.

Just popped back to say Saints have scored 9 goals all season. Peter Crouch has scored 3 in 153 minutes of football this season.

Seen enough, hope we win. Got more constructive things to do than watch that though.

My highlight so far is when Targett had a throw in half way into the Brighton half and threw it back to the center back Stephens. It's that sort of match turning moment inspiration that'll see him promoted into the first team tout suite

The point is that I don't believe those teams are worse than us. Of the teams listed as being worse than us we have only managed to beat 3 of them in 8 games, and all rather fortuitously. Even the draws against these teams apparently weaker than Saints didn't see us producing any stellar football. And you can throw in a loss against one of the teams.
