Fair enough, I apologize for that comment. Although it doesn't excuse it, I haven't had a good day.

I didn't say they were weak, I said it was their weakest area. It's still a strong midfield objectively, but it isn't as strong as ours.

My response is nothing to do with me being a mod in this case. As for not being negative... You're asserting that one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe couldn't ever reach the heights of a Man Utd player purely on the basis of him playing for us. I'm just genuinely trying to understand how you can constantly be so negative towards the team you support.

But that wasn't the original question was it? Truth is, 10 is a horrible sample size. Truth is, Morgan has had VERY good press over this last year, and people probably do rate him above Carrick (Oh, look I can answer my own questions before you get the chance to too). Central Midfield is undoubtedly our strongest position, and currently corresponds to Man Utd's weakest position. Talking to my Man Utd. supporting mates, yes, they would swap their central midfield for ours. No, that doesn't mean I, or they, come even remotely close to rating Saints above Man Utd. All it means is that we currently have a few strong players in a position that Man Utd are weak in that they would probably like to buy if they had the chance. What is it with you? It's like you can't bear to see any sort of positive light ever thrown on Saints. I don't think I've ever seen you just be happy about something Saints related. Each and every time you try and twist it round to be negative. Did people laugh at you in school for supporting us or something?

Aye, and Scholes was the first 'new' midfielder they'd (re)signed in years! They have us beat in other areas, but that said, I'd be surprised if we don't take at least a point off of them this season.

Can't see Rooney, Defoe or Welbeck being allowed to play 90 minutes three days before the start of the season, especially with the fitness of two of those in question.

Fair to say Saints' profile has been raised a bit the last couple of days!

As a side note, Shaw has been called up to the England U21s as well.

Perfect answer for all those looking for an alternative our home kit!

Doubt he'll break through and stay in once the injuries clear, but he DESERVES this recognition Well Done!

Awesome! Cheers

Morgan stayed with us because he wanted to 'put right' that we'd been relegated.

Barry, stop acting like your opinion is the only one that matters. You're coming across as a right idiot.

Bet some people were saying the same thing about QPR last year.

Cheers, added those (might have to remove Gazza's one if it's a particularly good fake), also shifted others that needed shifting and weeded out or updated the dead links.

Think it ended 4-1 on penalties.

Close by Guly!

Close by Lambert! Great cross by Chambers to set it up.

Looks like we're playing well, especially for a friendly.

Great finish by Lambert! Now... if only it'd been onside...

Great play by JRod to create a 1 on 1 for himself, then fluffs the chance.

Do they really expect to get decent refs in League Two? They can barely scrape up enough half-decent ones for the Prem.
