Niall Quinn saying Schniderlin off the pace and looks like the whole thing is getting to him. No Niall, he's not played a single minute of preseason, thats why he looks off the pace.

You're becoming an embarrassment.

Where have you plucked this figure from? Lallana and lambert scored 24 goals between them in all competitors (22 in the league) last season, why are we going to go from 8th to 'big trouble' if their replacements don't score loads more?

Favourite moment of his here.

Great goal from Cattermole yesterday, a player I've always said we should sign.

Good to see him make his premier league debut yesterday and according to MOTD did a good job when he came on. Not the greatest player to ever play in a saints shirt but I was a fan of his in l1 and the championship and an important but unsung part of our rise. Dd the job he had to do well and always felt he was one we should have kept for our first season back up, to do exactly what he did for Leicester yesterday.

We are still looking at wide players and a right back so by the end of the window hopefully those two will be ticked off depth wise. You can't really say long has replaced Osvaldo as he hardly featured from November onwards, when Rodriguez is back we will be well placed up front, for a club of our size Pelle, Long and Rodriguez with Gallagher as the young hungry and guaranteed to improve youngster is pretty strong. Midfield we look strong with a number if options and hopefully Reed will come on this season. Last season we had no cover for Shaw really either so although Bertrand isn't as good as Shaw, not many are, depth wise we are exactly the same, although arguably Targett might feature more. Same goes for centre back positions, same depth but a bit lower on quality as its a big ask expect Gardos to be as good as Lovren straight away. I've not see much of Tadic and nothing of gardos so although they both have big boots to fill with the players they have replaced its too early to judge them. From what I've read about Tadic would could have got something of a coup there. So overall as a squad I would say we are stronger up front, in midfield and in goal, but weaker at the back both In terms of quality and depth.we are however a lot stronger than the squad in our first season up which finished 15th, so talk of relegation is well wide of the mark.

Our first XI isn't as good, that's understandable as we lost 4 champions league level players but we have more depth. We are rebuilding and will probably finish somewhere between 11th-15th. Next season we'll have a couple more additions and will be back in the top half.

Such negativity Colin. We were told on here, even in out league one days, that to make the champions league you don't need to spend billions, you just need dreams and ambition. Are you suggesting all those that said this were talking bol+ocks?

'The majority of fans have been brilliant, very supportive' Must only be here where the majority are bed wetting divs then.
