Saint Charlie

Interesting also that despite everyone wanting us to take the Cup seriously we will have a very low crowd even at reduced prices.

Heitinga is ****e. We won't be signing anyone this window anyway so don't worry about us signing him!

In the summer we will probs get over 20m for him. City, United and Chelsea are weak at left back. Shaw could give them 10 years of top service. They would be getting a bargain.

Lallana and Rodriguez need a break, otherwise strong side.

Lacking any real attacking options at the moment, still an attack minded player short IMO.

Looked very tired. Central midfield v poor especially after Cork went off. Massively miss Wanyama.

Chambers a great prospect.

Martin Atkinson is the worst PL ref so lets see what massive cock up he makes today.

LOL Rhodes is nowhere near the quality of Lambert.

Sweepstake on who is ill and misses this game?

For someone so useless theres quite a few involving Ramirez last season. Jay Rod is a class finisher at times.

Shame he got injured as would have been a good bench option this month.

Says he is now a Saints fan for life.

Of course would like additions, but if we lost anyone like Shaw, Lallana, Lovren they would be nigh on impossible to replace with the same quality. If you said now we could 100% start next season with our squad now! no additions but no losses then I would take it. In the summer we will have interest from CL teams in Morgan, Lallana, Shaw, Lovren and maybe Clyne. Be hard to keep everyone.

Not sure what you mean, we have already signed them last summer so even if we don't sign anyone we would still have them?

I would. In the summer too. At least 8 of our first choice 11 have room for improvement and are always getting better.

He had until 23rd Dec. since then the FA have sat on it.

Chairman knows the Manager is doing a great job and has seen how good we are when we have a fully fit squad. Not MPs fault that we have had a terrible run of injuries yet so far this season haven't been well beaten by anyone except Chelsea away.

It's about the season as a whole, style, philosophy etc. we are easily an 8. Remember this time last year?

This "charge" is just bizarre. There has been no word on it for ages. Ridiculous if the FA still havent ruled either way.

No way Gallagher from the start. He wouldnt start for most Championship teams were he on loan there. Not even some L1. He is a young lad learning. Getting opportunities due to lack of squad depth. Terry and Cahill wouldn't break into a sweat. We could win this game. Team will be stronger than of late and Chelsea defence a little slow. Hazard is the key. Keep him quiet and we will get something.

It's a fair point and this plus overall squad strength is what prevents us from creeping higher in the league.

Come on, lets not get silly. He is class and will be world class. No question. Worth remembering he has done and is doing all of his learning in the PL. Ditto JWP and Chambers. All superb prospects.

Hs signs them first name AND surname? Weird.

Morenio?
