So why was he on the bench last night?

Suggesting Pelle to return with Mane behind?

Sue, it seems Guan is a mere conduit for someone inside the club. Saints' Deep Throat.

Well I've read it again and it reads like opinion not fact. It may be an opinion informed by inside knowledge, I really can't tell and which is why I was asking you why you are so concerned by it. In view of what you've said I'm not giving it any more credibility than any other opinion posted on the subject. I also think the final sentence is inconsistent with the foregoing. So Koeman's approach to integrating the under 21s is "rubbish" but he bears only "some" responsibility. We're not told who bears the remainder of the responsibility. Sorry, unless you're able to shed more light on the situation from what you've heard then I don't buy it.

May I ask why it gives you cause for concern? After all, this could be someone's opinion, no more nor less valid than lany other.

My ears weren't deceiving me. The faces of the others trying to suppress laughs are a picture. Bet that got edited from the morning edition of MOTD.

Am I dreaming or did Lawrenson really just say Pen1s on MOTD? Think he meant Pienaar.

Ok, ok, don't shoot the messenger. Nonetheless, it's not a disinterested opinion your relaying.

Reed may be worth another try, it's marginal imo. But the underlying point being made is that the youngsters aren't good enough, at least not yet. Koeman isn't an idiot. If he had better in the under 21s than he has in the first team then he'd play them.

Great post. We're your previous 12000 equally witless or did you have to build up to it?

In the long run we're all dead. I'd like to see us win something.

Fair enough. Don't worry, he won't stop posting. He likes it.

I spend a small fortune supporting my club home and away so don't faking tell me what I can and can't say.

Correct.

Enlighten me.

Seems you have an axe to grind. Has Ronald told you to stick your stats up your @rse?

It seems some are still mesmerised by charismatic Germans.

This is the "Mopo" that left to join a more ambitious club.

Yeah I knew it was wrong but I just couldn't remember the ***** surname so I just put Sherwood because he played for Blackburn as well and I knew everyone would know who I meant. Chris Sherwood. Tim Sutton. Same difference.

They had Adam Blackmore on. Supportive of Koeman. Had to make a stand with Mane. Says fans are behind Koeman and players have been up to now (think that was the tense he used). Saints at crossroads with likes of Wanyama and Koeman having 18 months on contracts. Fans he speaks to are willing to see Mane and Wayama sold as long as money spent on quality signings, and to a man they want club to invest rather than just balancing the books. Chris Sherwood thought Koeman made a mistake in dropping Mane. Always play your best players, at which point discussion highjacked by Joey Barton.

Two games in a row we should never have lost. At least West Ham stepped it up second half but Norwich were sh1te. And they beat us.

Wayama's emotions weren't running high yesterday. His first touch in the second half was a lazy punt into touch. Kind of set the tone. I would say Koeman's right in identifying lack of focus, as with Mane. And a word on Tadic, while I'm moaning. A lot of pointing at nothing in particular, and some arguing with Bertrand, and too little tracking back and tackling.

Plunger wielding dustbin. I like it. Wtf is it?

Koeman's been coaching him. Take a look at the goal around 45 seconds.

Trains from London are running out of Kings Cross rather than Liverpool St, with a change at Ely in Cambridgeshire, so I assume there are engineering works somewhere on the Liverpool St - Norwich line.
