Barry the Badger

Starting your opening paragraph with "Now I am not comparing us to Man Utd" and then the second paragraph with "Compared to us" is an absolute top bit of saintswebbery. Well done!

He was fine, better than you would expect a converted striker to be but nothing more really IMO.

No thanks, he did a job for them there but is hardly a great wing back.

I'm sure that somebody who does a much ****ter job than you for a lot less money would say the same thing about you. It's all about perspectives.

Except when we got relegated and everybody thought he was lightweight and ****!

Very disappointed that whilst he said he'd seen us play, he stopped short of admitting he spent all of last season wishing he was at Saints. Shows a lack of commitment in my opinion.

He looks almost as good as Steve De Ridder in that video. Can't believe it's taken us so long to replace him. Duuuuuuussssaaaaaaannnnn.

At least he left out the shorts. http://www.trophiesandmedals.com/@@content/pub/image_9961/Yellow%20New%20Skin%20Football%20Shorts_157247.jpg

I'm expecting them to play him as part of the central 3, rotating with Coutinho

Diaz, yes.

We just don't have a single world class player unfortunately. We played ok for periods of all the games but don't have a Neymar/Messi to make the difference in a tight game for us. If only Bale was English.

Why would anyone NOT hope for a renaissance?

Surely Lambert must have a knock. Seems harsh otherwise.

"I really don't give a **** about the architects drawings, I'm supposed to be on holiday."

On what basis? Might be a terrible coach for all you know.

I nearly wrote that then decided it's the bloody least I'd expect him to be doing for his 30k a week!

It really wont. If he announced he was staying and started the season well, all would be fine.

If we'd had schneiderlin instead of Gerrard/Rooney they'd have had nowhere near that much joy down the wings. Having watched three excellent holding midfield players all season it's clear that the two Liverpool players offer nothing like the same protection.

I didn't think so st all we were losing the battle in midfield and not creating enough at that point, Wilshere is definitely more capable of threading a through ball than Henderson.

He made it hard for the ref by falling on top of the ball. When that happens it's easier for them to just give the free kick than have to deal with a player trying to kick the ball out from underneath another.

I saw a programme last night that said Matthew Le Tissier played for Southampton, apparently.

Meat hung Lallana, WTF. Lol. Watching

I love meat hung Lallana but he's not in Ozil's class!

You're suggesting we out the top English premier league goal scorer on the left wing? No thanks.
