A reality check for the helmets on here Hopefully An end to the Southampton Are reinventing football and are unstoppable nonsense been spouted in the media

"This is an excellent example of where the mental capacity act could apply"

And still it goes on. MLG now insisting Lambert is better than Aguero.

So many bites. Excellent work.

Get billy back to pick up Lambos flicks. Cheeky bid for Kevin Nolan to team up with Cattermole in the engine room?

Is he the pacey wide man we've been looking for?

We are sliding down the table, they are on the up. I expect someone on their mongboard has started a thread tonight entitled '8th placed finish and southampton to be relegated?' Whilst others claim their current squad could finish 6th.

Bit of a coincidence that you've not been on line for a while and are now claiming someone pretending to be you is posting on a Blackburn forum at exactly the same time. Can someone quote please so MLG can see.

I'll be there tomorrow so that should stick a few thousand on the gate.

Osvaldo was returning from injury then.

We don't create much at all away from home. 5 goals in 7 games, one a debatable penalty, two from corners and one from a mistake in the first minute meaning the only goal we've created away from home this season was at Stoke.

Why do you think it is that when MP has had both Lambert and Osvaldo available and he's played one striker he's gone with Osvaldo?

I much prefer your Glasgow login pal.

Except of course there is a few shreds of evidence. The shred that he is a international forward for a top national side. The fact that he has a very good scoring record in Serie A and La Liga? the shred of evidence that our manager who people are raving about has managed him before and clearly had a hand in signing him. So now he needs to pick him and play him in his favoured position, up front on his own, the position he's picked him in over lambert in our tougher games when both have been fit. I keep hearing that the Southampton way is so amazing and that the chairman and manager are brilliant. Yet not when it comes to leaving out the fans favourite players. People are saying Osvaldo shouldn't start ahead of lambert because he's 'been gash' yet if it was Rodriguez it seems many are quite happy for that even though he has arguably been more affective than both this season. Make no mistake, Osvaldo was signed to play up front on his own and to the fact MP has chosen to do that away at Man United and Chelsea when both he and lambert have been available tells you what you need to know about the managers thinking. So the fact of the matter is that the manager and the much lauded 'Southampton way' sees Osvaldo as our first choice central striker so now it needs the manger to back him and play him in the position he clearly favours him for for an extend period and let him find his feet. there is plenty of evidence that suggests he is more than capable of doing so, despite the nonsense you've been spouting today.

you're derailing the thread.

How can anyone blame Gaston when he hasn't played this season? It's another good thread from Galsgow with raises some interesting points. Stop trolling please.

Our stats dont tell the full story. Despite some people insisting that we were having loads of shots at goal, in truth a lot of them dont really trouble the keeper. According to the stats on sunday we had 9 shots at goal yet we didnt create a single chance or trouble their keeper. Same goes for Man United, people pointed to us having more shots at goal as them as evidence of a fantastic performance, the truth be told De Geye had little to do, all his saves expect one from Clyne were routines ones with shots from distance and we scored from one of our few real chances, Whereas Man United had less shots at goal but hit the woodwork twice and forced Boruc into two or three class saves, it was a great performance at Man United but not for the reasons some claim of because we created loads more than them. So those that laud our performances based on shots on goal and stats need to have a rethink, if we are having so many attempts at target and scoring so few times it tells us one of two things. Either our strikers are missing a hatful of chances every game and arent up to it or teams are happy to sit back and let us pass it around them and then shoot from distance restricting the threat to the oppositions goal.

That's our catchment area mate. They're all Saints fans there.

What about all these people from Dartford to Truro who are coming by the coachload every week to see premier league football at Southampton?

I dont think he's really gay is he. He doesnt whoop everytime he speaks and say "go girlfriend". He never got a boner during the olympics when he was surrounded by other blokes in speedos. Not gay. hes just decided to be gay for a bit to get a bit of sympathy because he aint much good at diving anymore.

Yeah, he's just decided to be gay for a bit because he thinks it's cool.

Everywhere is my territory pal, there are no barriers when you've got a phone in your hand.

For Sunderland this season see QPR last. Making a raft of new signings at this level rarely works. Our summer business was spot on. 3 good players who have improved the squad, two of which have immediately improved the first, the other will given time.

"Taking Stock" Was all set to be the Echo headline when we were linked with signing Brian Stock back in L1.
