Davis gets the vote for me.

Bet Caulker is gutted, he was in the last squad but Hodgson has gone for Stones instead on the back up list...

One link I've read this morning claims Flannigan is on the back up list....

I knew this was going to be a long, hard summer for Saints fans but I wasn't expecting a bid for one of our players on the day the season finished. I don't buy newspapers but most of the media guff is online anyway. Tricky to avoid. As for Shaw, Lallana et al, the club should reject everything until after the WC, especially as Pochettino's future is still uncertain...

I meant to quote this in the post before. This us pretty much my mindset too, we may have to get used to lowering our expectations when transfers are concerned. I wonder if we'll utilise the Bosmans or even the loan window next season...

Harry Maguire or Dan Burn would be good young CB acquisitions. There's a lot of young talent in the lower leagues as Hughes showed tonight. If we can't achieve big signings this summer for whatever reason, I'd like to see us invest in the future, even if the future hasnt come entirely from our academy.

I hope the club resist it first and foremost. No outgoing transfers until after the WC should be what we look to achieve, although the big teams will wish differently.

Still injured I guess. Shame Clyne has had to fight for his RB slot with Chambers this year. Good for Saints, bad for England.

:-) Makes you wonder where Walcott, Townsend, Walker and JRod would've fit in had they not been injured. I'm not sure JRod would've made it, but would've been in the back up 7. Walcott for Lambert, Walker for Lampard?

A huge help in getting to the Premier League. A squad player that will be missed. Good luck in your future career Guly.

Does this mean Carrick will retire too? Congratulations to Luke Shaw!

Sturridge, Rooney, Welbeck and Lambert will be the 4. Defoe burned his bridges when he went to Canada IMO. If Hodgson takes 5 strikers then perhaps Carroll may get in but with Sterling, Lallana and Barkley behind the strikers I think it's unlikely he'll take 5. I think Lambert has done enough. Defence is where England will suffer this year. Especially at centre back. I'd almost rather Clyne and Shaw didn't become the fall guys for a shoddy defensive performance, if that's indeed what happens. Nonetheless I'll be proud of any Saint that makes it to the World Cup. Which is why I'd rather we hang on to Lallana and Shaw until at least the conclusion of the tournament.

Great season with the only negatives being Osvaldo being a plonker, the FA Cup defeat and the various injuries. Take the positives and lock them away in your memories. Don't tarnish them with what happens in the summer. We're all going to be exhausted by the end of the summer transfer window, whatever happens.

Disagree OP. Lallana is our most skilful, talented, goal scoring midfielder. Those aren't easy to find. Shaw is replaceable, not like for like but with someone good enough.

Norwich down. Very little coverage of this today, my missus gutted.

Cheers but am on my ipad. It's ok, least we have nothing to play for!

Agree. We're 3/4 players short of pushing on next year. Double that and more if we get picked apart, and while we'll have the money, replacements won't be as good and as we know, it's tricky to get many new signings to gel quickly. Look at Sunderland. Enjoy this game while it lasts...

On Twitter, they do say they are "aware" of the problem. There's a lot of annoyed people on there. There's another lying in this bath, watching "pundits" talk about footy rather than watching it.

Not just me then. I ran a bath with the intention of watching the footy in it. Now I'm stuck with Keown's ugly face on Final Score. Not happy.

I liked the Dutch song, I can see that being a hit in North America. I also liked the Maltese entry. Oh, and through all the booing they encountered, I'd like to console the 17 year old Russian Twins...

Lallana is the one "jewel" I feel we cannot afford to lose this summer, but if his mind is made up to play in the Champions League and challenge for the title, and this is the summer we can get the most money for him, then it'll have to happen. Shaw, Dejan, Morgan, JRod or whoever else is sold can be adequately replaced, but Lallana brings something unique to our team. It'll be a sad day if and when it happens, as we've seen him shine as we rise up the divisions.

Perfect for Matt TARGETT to play on!

Nicking the grass to go in their flower press. Alongside the pube they secured from Justin Bieber's clungal region.

You lot pitch invade, I'm going to loot the fast food kiosks and nick the Eterna clock while you have them distracted.

I'm not going to worry til it happens, else wise I'll have 12 new slitty marks on my wrist come September. Saints are the media's wet dream at the moment...
