A premier league club in name only.

How do you work this out?

I would agree with you there mate, our defending was exposed in the first half on saturday against a bit of pace and power. We are crying out for a powerful centre half and a better right back. We look strong in midfield and good going forward, but our weakness at the back could be costly if not addressed.

That is brilliant! I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that. I thank god I an wearing a slim fit shirt or I am worried my sides may split.

How about using your initiative? Like I said, if the basis for banning the riots was safety due to the riots then surely Notting Hill carnival should have been banned as well. Looks like an abuse of freedom of speech to me. Don't you agree?

We certainly are blessed on this forum aren't we.

This. Incredibly mongy.

anything less than champions by march is faliure. Off the pitch i'd like to see work started to expand the stadium ready for our champions league charge in 2012/13 season.

Stop being so negative Jamie. It is a fact the Chamberlain wouldn't get in our side at the moment. The team that lost to Leicester yesterday is better than the Arsenal team that has just qualified for the knockout stages on the champions league for the 14th year in a row. Anyone that says otherwise knows nothing about football and is not a loyal Saints fan.

I think Butterfield is better, but I dont think either are the answer, certainly not long term.

Not so much that he spent near on £2m in a position we already had 3 players.

Yes I heard it driving back. Was saying what a great side to watch we are. Really positive saying what a great game it was, how good we were and what a great job Nige had done.

Merson makes a good point on Sky. It's a myth about Arsenals young team, the average age of the sides was the same. Worlds apart in terms of atitude and ability though.

But why do you feel sorry for him? He is where he wanted to be. I am not bitter that he left us, that is football sadly. What i didn't like was the way he tried to engineer his move via the press. Coming out and saying he was too good for us etc and his old man acting up about how good his boy is. F*ck him, he is nothing to us anymore.

I dont know why you all feel sorry for him. Reap what you sow young man. He was the one desperate to leave, he was the one coming out in the papers telling everyone he wanted to leave and he was too good for us. F*ck him.

Did he have a kick? Arsenal were so bad it was embarassing. Half of the team weren't interested. Merson is upset.

I agree with this. We have all known we need a centre back all summer, clearly so does Nige as he's tried to sign three which have all f*cked up for some reason. It's clear that neither of our RB's are up to it at this level. On the left Fox looked good and is obviously the prefered choice there long term. The problem is, you feel Nige is waiting for Harding to have a bad game so he can drop him which might be costly. if he is his prefered choice, which he must be to have spent almost £2m on him, then just stick him in now.

Thank f*ck Vermalen isn't playing, he is in mine. Got to laugh haven't you, Arsenal have been so bad it's embarassing.

Isn't it just their right of passage??

Having a problem reading today? I was quite clear that i didn't say i agreed with their message. Or is freedom of speech only allowed if its what you agree with?

They didn't show Connollys shot which i think beat Schmichel at his near post, hit the post and came back and got stuck between his legs so he could pounce on it or Lamberts chance in injury time where he should have smashed it, plus the 3 or 4 goal bound shots which their defends somehow got something in the way of.

The bit about Human Rights is laughable. How come this only applies at SFC and when the police are trying to justify f*cking up like they did last saturday and against Pompey? The statement also lies, there was trouble after the game in 2009. I was even discussing this with a Millwall mate of mine who i met for a pint before the game last week. No intelleigence to suggest trouble after the match?? I take it they missed Millwall trying to get through the netting then!! Im sure there will be plent of back slapping and self contratulations by them when they give a few more bans out to fall guys as there always is. Probably a big article in the echo with a grand statement about this sort of behaviour not being tolerated. Clueless.

Spot on with all that mate.

Yes. Totally cringeworthy. They had some properly gay songs and cocky little chavs each side gobbing off all the way through.

I didn't say I agree with their message, just they have a right to march. I know the thought of the EDL beings on a cold sweat to you but do you not agree they have a right to make their voice heard, regardless of if you like it or not? Surely on the basis used to ban this march Notting Hill carnival should also have been axed this year, always trouble there.
