Graffito

Same goes for people who don't read posts properly.

Has anyone suggested he did?

Bit of a u-turn from me here. On first reading last night I got as far as the bit about looking for a champions league team to support, completely missing the other bit about Saints going out of business. Too many beers brought on by weather delay in Miami and another sub par England performance. It is, of course, very well written.

What a load of crap. Doesn't resonate with me at all.

Well...what did England create against 10? Tbf most sides will find it difficult to break down Honduras. But they didn't test our defence at all. Add in Honduras' physical play and it wasn't the best preparation.

He's right about Lallana though. He's a pivot. ****ing use him.

He just needs to take his jacket off, the plank.

Thanks for the link. That's actually a master class in central midfield play.

“If Liverpool are signing all these Southampton players, I have got to presume they are signing them to play, not stockpile,” Aside from the fact that Liverpool have signed just one Southampton player, is there a hint there of concern there that his England players would get less game time at Liverpool? He could have answered that question by saying he can't comment on transfer speculation and that he's happy to consider in form players whatever club they play for.

What a great interview. Generous in praise of others and he has talked "exclusively" with the club. Quite a contrast with one or two others. Astronomy's clearly not his strong point because he's over the moon.

Another Saint that's gone from League 1 all the way to the World Cup. You want to play in the World Cup? Come to Southampton. Thoroughly deserved.

It was the reserves and it was cr@p.

You can't afford him.

He was class, from the day he arrived to the day he left.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/worldcup2014/article-2645566/Roy-Hodgson-hoping-transfer-rumours-dont-prove-big-distraction-England-squad.html Should have kept his gob shut then shouldn't he. This article also refers to Lambert being sold "at a knockdown price". And without a hint of irony, that Lallana played the final two matches of the season with a groin injury "because he was desperate to say goodbye to the fans."

Agree. Trust is critical. Team spirit, so difficult to build can be undermined so easily when these sensitive issues are mishandled.

Posted this on the Kreugar thread. Possibly more relevant here: Why in earth wasn't this man appointed? Grew up a Saints fan. Vastly experienced in football. Widely respected. Perhaps, then, some of the communications problems would have been avoided. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...et_for_Saints/

F**k Liverpool, f**k the PL, f**k Roy Hodgson. And while I'm at it, Ukip can f**ck off as well. Sorry Lads. Feel better now.

I agree though we all know that the FA will do nothing about it, especially pre World Cup. Presumably Hodgeson will be equally delighted when our other England players join top 6 sides. He may be less pleased when they don't play so regularly or are less available.

Don't know if this has been posted previously but the Observer reports today that Liverpool only became aware of Lambert's availability when they enquired about Lallana and Lovren. He may well have been tapped up by Gerrard but this suggests we flogged him.

But we have a plan. Ralph said so: "The plan is a permanently evolving entity. We have a plan, we are very well structured and organised and have extremely good people heading up that plan. As we evolve we are continually strengthening and working on that plan." What's more we have a vision: "The vision has been very clear right through to the last person, and that is to take this club into European football. It is driving everything we do." That's why we are selling our best players.
