*slagging!

15m claims: The Truth! Daily Star get a snagging off here by an angry journo. Not Mr Crook again surely?! http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/the-truth-on-claims-arsenal-have-schneiderlin-tied-up-for-15m

30mill seems to be the going rate these days if your player will be a first teamer at a "big club".

Meant part of our "best" team.

Pull yourself together people! Players come and go, Corks ok but not a part of the team anymore. It doesn't take much to start a #meltdown on here these days.

"Divisions continue to grow"? Between Saints and Skates they certainly do. Could grow by one more this year if we're lucky.

Look class. More of a J-Rod running at defences with the occasional Le Tiss wondergoal thrown in. Sign him immediately and build the team around him.

Sandwich, it sounds as though we park our cars in the same garage lol

Please elaborate Sandwich...

Harry Reed is the 2nd coming of David Batty. Tackles, passes and moves like him. If he turns out like Batty we have one he'll of a player. Not worried about Morgan going now, we can use the money to strengthen other areas.

Great link, thanks! Fabregas clearly looking for that and left his foot in, as some others have already pointed out. Must admit when I saw the Mourinho quotes I thought it would be a clear pen but having seen that good reffing imo. (Couldn't see incident from block2.) Chelsea fans were some of the quietest this season,very poor support and hardly any songs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the insight pal. Interesting signing for us. We played 3-5-2 against Everton on Saturday, how would he fit into that system?

We need to recall Boruc and Dani Osvaldo to save our season.

Slattery Stunner:

There are options. I personally think we could have brought on Reed in both last 2 games (he could have swapped with Steve Davis). For Morgan Sunday and Cork today. As Monk says it would not have disrupted the best defence in the league. That said, going down to ten did us tonight Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Totally agree what's up with Harry Reed . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If he gets a new deal I'm worried about our club. Absolutely useless. Heavily responsible for our drop off in results when he came into the side last season. A fraud of a player. Hides on the pitch. Loses the plot, I really don't rate him. 45 mins of Maya on the pitch Sunday and we'd conceded half as many goals as we have all season. I'm staggered he survived the summer tbh.

Aguero must have been so happy when Alderweireld moved into midfield after having such a great 1st half.

He's already said this (op) almost word for word several weeks ago. Might even be old quotes.

Goal difference might be better this season actually

So if we carry on picking up 2 extra points every 10 games we get 8 points more than last season, agreed? Where would we have finished with 8 more points last season? 8th. Or level 7th with Man U, losing out on goal difference. There's a long way to go folks.

A note of caution. Had 10 minutes spare yesterday and compared results for corresponding fixtures. I.e Stoke at home Hull away etc. If you take away the 2 wins against newly promoted sides(QPR and Leicester) we have 19 points from the 9 games compared to 17 points from the same fixtures last season. We are 2 points better off. Its better, but not as good as some are making out. Regarding the 6 points I have dismissed against promoted teams I have categorised them with relegated sides who we won 4 of the 6 games against last season. However I believe our squad i better and some 'big guns' are struggling a bit.

"We've got this Argentinian manager, he's all the rage you know. Now, how do work him then..."

The question all the Levy's, Woodwards and their ilk want the answer to is: "How do they (Saints) do it, what is the secret?". Like the Colonels chicken flavouring and the Coca Cola recipe they all want to know! And maybe one if our staff will spill the beans and coat their dirty clubs with a bit of our stardust... They wish.

A few negative stories coming out today though...Paul Mitchell to Spurs. Toby buyout cancelled by Atletico and Koeman to walk out for Holland job. Conspiracy theorists, you're on!
