SNSUN

Let's see Westwood try and ****** on that...

Congrats on the nominations guys. Proud.

That was impressive, especially for a centre back. Pahars vs Stam for me... :-)

He's 21? Looks about 40!

Adrian Durham was arguing today on TalkSport who was the better player, Walcott or Bale. While I don't think it's much of an argument who is better, Bale clearly IMO, it was a pleasant feeling to know that both players started life at our club.

I care about Shaw leaving, I don't want it to happen as we should be able to keep all our key players, but if selling Shaw is what it takes to keep all the others, it would be a small price to pay IMO. Left backs can be replaced. Decent centre backs are hard to find so losing Lovren would hurt, Morgan was one of the best midfielders last season, and Lallana, well irreplaceable. Selling Shaw for £30 million, and offloading Osvaldo and possibly Ramirez, would provide enough finances to really strengthen the side. A GK, CB, AM and possibly even 2 strikers are needed already. Add a left back and another AM to that and we will need to spend a lot of money in the summer. I can't see us blowing big money in the summer on one player though...

I'm 33 and an awful lot of those apply to me. I'm old before my time. And I don't even have a mortgage yet...

I'd be all like "Oi, Di Matteo, I respect that you had a difficult job in following Pochettino, after his appointment by Spurs, but did you HAVE to sell Cork? 'Spect on keeping Morgan, Dejan, Luke and Adz, but not signing anyone was proper stupid. You still got 2 weeks of the transfer window, get it sorted!"

I was more worried about the car! :-D

Ooh I had a driving one today, although it was with the missus I suppose it could happen with anyone. "Is anything coming your side?" "No, clear." I go to pull out. "Wait, I meant after the next car." Fkin say that then! I'm sure something similar happened with the two planes that crashed on the Tarmac in Tenerife in the 70s.

I would sell Shaw if it meant we kept everyone else. In an ideal world we keep everyone we wish to, but will that happen? The one player we can Ill afford to lose though is Lallana. Virtually Irreplaceable. JRod will probably still be here next season now, surely he'd fail any medical he went on, so that's a plus. IMO we will get rid of Osvaldo, sell Ramirez, end Jos and Guly's association with the club, and probably lose Shaw to big money. After that, we wait and see. Lovren may be sought after, as would be Morgan and Adam. We need stability this summer like never before, and that would mean keeping Pochettino IMO. Whatever happens, we will a) still have a core of a decent side, whatever happens, and b) have lots of money to sign replacement players. So no point getting too negative just yet.

If Magath keeps Fulham up, when mere weeks ago most people (me included) had written them off, he'd be a contender surely...

Palace aren't safe yet is IMO it's too early, especially as the title hasn't been decided either, but currently it's Rogers, Martinez, Pulis.

Me: "What's for dinner love?" Her: "I'm doing a Parsnip and Pancetta Tagliatelle with Garlic Ciabatta. It's your turn to do dinner tomorrow." Me: "Fish and Chips it is then." True Story. Very little annoys me about Mrs SNSUN. Not shabby after 8 years together. I'm too placid.

It riles my wife that she sees more of Saints live than Norwich. I'm also incredibly lazy when it comes to housework. I get moaned at daily for that. She has mild OCD so I know the housework will get done eventually. Shes a a light sleeper too. The second she snores I wake her up. She hates that. Especially as I sometimes snore but am a deep sleeper so nothing wakes me. TBF I'm a divorce waiting to happen! Still I must be doing something right...

Man Utd sweep idea - how many years until they're back in the Champions League?

Everyone who doesn't support Southampton is a ****. Portsmouth fans more so, because those ****s smell of fish. I hope I've argued my point rationally, coherently and with dignity.

Does anyone know how she died yet? Apparently she posted a picture of her mum on Twitter before she died. Suicide? Could have been going through some deep seated depression. RIP Peaches. It's always the children that lose out at times like this.

Very sad for Jay. Had a cracking season too. I hope this wasn't his best chance to go to the World Cup. Get well soon a Jay. Silver lining? Ummm, perhaps that means we get to keep him for next season...

Rickie, Adam and Luke...

Far too late. He's a poor manager, as I've stated before on the main board. Nice bloke, but tactically inept, and woefully underachieving with the money that got spent in the summer. Still, this sacking is too late, they should have done it weeks ago. Norwich have one easily winnable game left against Fulham (although they scored a cracking win yesterday) and have Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool as their last 4 games. The gap between Norwich and the bottom 3 looks big, but Sunderland have two games in hand, and should Fulham win at home against them, they'll only be one point behind. Incidentally if Magath somehow keeps Fulham up, it'll be one of the managerial feats of all time. I can't see it, I still think Sunderland are more likely to pull out of the relegation zone, but we'll see.

Que sera sera. If I worried about everything that might happen, I'd go nuts. The way i see it, even if we do lose our stars in the summer we'll be financially recompensed for them, and we will still have a core of a good side whoever remains. Ok, we may not hit the heights of this season, but it's hard to see a relegation battle from where we are now.
