Diego should join Hull. Both are tigers...

If Cortese goes to Milan, I'm going to put a horses head in his bed. See how he likes it.

This is worrying news. If Cortese goes, then to replace him we need a sound, financial businessman, with a wonderful knowledge of football and is also very well liked by the media...

The Diego that was once regarded as one of the best talents in the world? (Certainly on FM2004!) I know his career has gone off the rails, and he's never lived up to the hype he once got, but he's still better than Freddy Adu in that department and for £1.6 mill it'd be a risk worth taking. On a short contract...

] Is "piff" positive or negative? I'm not down with the lingo! Harry Maguire at Sheffield United would be worth looking at. 20 year old, 6'4'' Centre Back, been their player of the season twice running, had Man Utd scouting him last season and improving all the time. English too, was called up for U21s. I've only caught glimpses of him in highlights but he ticks all the right boxes on paper.

I lost money yesterday, I thought we'd draw against WBA. Hey ho, pleased with the win too!

That's brilliant, I didn't know that existed. I'll be using that to annoy my Norwich-supporting wife. Sorry for your loss MOG.

EDIT: Results are already in - Suarez wins with his first effort against Norwich, his second goal against them comes second, and Osvaldo is third. http://dynamic.pulselive.com/dynamic/client/bbc/motd/ I know it was against us, but I also though Coleman's effort was good.

Osvaldo goal was the better of our two for me, but how good were ALL the goals! Outstanding cracks on goal, though of course Suarez will win, hopefully with his second Matt Le Tissieresque second effort rather than his first.

I hope your dad makes a full recovery and is back in the Chapel before long.

RIP fellow Saint.

Assuming JRod and Lallana are first choice for two of the attacking midfield spots, I guess it boils down to which of Ramirez, JWP or Davis people would rather see in the other spot. Davis is the consistant one, JWP the potential, but I'm all for seeing more of Ramirez if he consistantly delivers.

Better late than never! I hope he goes on a prolongued, consistant, run of good form, more for his sake with the WC coming up, but also he could go on to be a massive player for us, especially if we can get him to click with Osvaldo. Will he stay though?

Best wishes to the chap. Well done to all involved. (Though a second Saints goal today would've calmed a lot of nerves and dodgy tickers...)

Sunderland (A) Arsenal (H) Fulham (A) Stoke (H) Hull (A) West Ham (A) Liverpool (H) Palace (A) Norwich (H) These are our next 9 Premier League fixtures, after that, the last 8 get a bit tougher. With all the injured players coming back, and the win today starting us off, how many points will we get for these 9 games? 12-14 for me, safety assured, then we can pick up whatever we can get from the last 8 as a bonus. Also, the more points we get before the FA Cup progresses, the more we can concentrate on that and less about the league. Positivity reigns!

A couple of months ago, this would have been an away banker, and we really should've got more than a point against them at home. Now Sunderland are a different proposition, and they had an important win against Fulham away today. I can see this being tough, but as long as we start strongly, with a team similar to todays, we can win it. A home win for Sunderland wouldn't be a shock - if I were going to bet on it, I'd go draw.

My favourite number is 2, and she is second to nun. :-D I'm ill with the man flu today, but if things stay this way, I'll force myself out to a lucky fag later.

Otherwise back to the strongest possible line up, Wanyama excepted. Good to see. As for full back cover, Cork and Yoshida have both covered them in the past, though God forbid if Shaw picks up his regular knock and the left footed Jos comes on at full back....

Win this, and we're 9 points clear of WBA. Lose, and they close Big game this if we want to keep ourselves isolated from everyone else around us! :-D

I'm watching the Wednesday vs Leeds game. Connor Wickham has been outstanding, I can't believe he's only 20. Definitely one for the future if he keeps maturing like this.

The other day I tried to find a stream of my own, and suddenly an undeletable warning came up saying the police had been called. Ignoring it, I just turned my laptop off and turned it back on again. Still no fuzz. :-) Still I best use one of your links for safety.

I read that as "No joop, no poop" and thought they were really playing hardball...

Ramirez?

I always thought Aaron Martin looked OK in League One when I saw him. I fully expect him to ply his trade there more permanently when he leaves us. Not academy, but Richard Hall was only 19 when he joined us, and went on to do well for us. Before West Ham got their hands on him and his career ended prematurely.
