Have to disagree a little here, he was injured and it took that time to assess the injury, then he had the balls to try and come back on and play but couldn't, then went off as close to the part of the pitch he was standing on! If we are talking about what we hate at football, mine is balloons no room for them

These kids learn too much, too young

I was thinking this as well. When we need a replacement CB to play alongside him if Jaidi etc are classed as not being up to the job at a higher level, do we buy a skillful CB or a beast! Having watched Fonte in the last few games I think he would benefit from having a cultured CB alongside him as he is the "Beast" of the team!! His reading of the game and positioning are outstanding, especially shown in the block on the line in the last 10mins. Along with Hammond he will give away the momentum stopping halfway line foul, which we haven't done in ages and stops counter attacking in its tracks.

He was a very good midfielder that season under Strachan but because he had a bad injury never really recovered and wasn't that good after that, and to be fair was awful when he joined under Gray!!

According to most on here it was a miracle that we finished 8th in the league and got to the cup final, considering we had the following "****" players: Ormerod Beattie Delap Oakley Fernandes Lundekvam (only good because of Svensson)

Think my favourite bit is that they claim they are being charged too much and may be due a rebate!! Not sure you get taken to court for a rebate :-)

Maybe the training bids indicate the traditional position number and Barnard and Lambert being 9 and 10 will start upfront together tomorrow. Although, not sure if they practice as the following days team in training especially not when cameras present!!

In there defence, they play a physical direct attacking style and scored (what looked like in the stadium) two very good goals, where a weighted pass split our defence twice and the forward placed the ball in the net. I don't care too much for the time wasting or cheating but they were the better team for most of the game, although on another day we would've had a bit of luck with our shots on target. I think the turnstile issue was more with the user rather than the actual turnstile!! And the Chicken Balti Pies were fantastic :-)

Ian Roberts an Aussie Rugby League player was gay, beat up, I think, a teammate for gay jibes

Thank god for that I thought I was imagining it!!

I thought we looked a lot better in the first than the second and for most of the second half I didn't think we looked like scoring. Our midfield looked really fatigued and they defended really well albeit a touch industrial!!! Saying that they seemed to lack the killer finish up front!! Also, I'm sure if I was seeing things but did Hammond take a massive kick at one of there midfielders after getting fouled (ref waved play on!!)

100% agree with that, it seemed to me that we robbed them at the death (not that I'm bothered!!) Thought that we looked weak in midfield and they took advantage of that in parts BUT we showed excellent spirit to equalise and took some quality pens. Great last save by Bart

Not sure if I am being tricked but looks a good recovery save by the keeper!!

Overall it was a very poor game today, but home games will be like that as other teams will come here to spoil the game. Great football leading to the Harding goal, with Lallana and Connelly combining before a lovely pass to Harding. Great Pen by Lambert followed by a top draw free kick (which I didn't think would go in!!!) Thought Wotton played really well when he came on, retained possesion and kept the game simple! Think away games suits us more as we play an open attacking game without a game changing playmaker.

I was hoping for an actual tiger as well!!!!

No Magilton missed one I think!!!!

I saw Dave Merrington in Asda last week!! Wasn't sure if it was him until he spoke, then I knew!!! Also, saw Steve Baker at the Orient game!!!

Technically his record is played 1 (3 sub) scored 4 which means he scores every 22.5 mins at best, at worst 1 every 90 mins!! Looked good tonight, as did Antonio. I thought on the t'internet we looked good in the first half, quality in the second

You have to be a real thick **** to have to look up that meaning don't you??

Ottmar Hitzfeld and Paul Tisdale!!!!

Think it may also have something to do with Ferdinand and Vidic as well!!

Think Bridges is going to Norwich. Campbell-Ryce would be an excellent choice

No worse than sponsoring the league I would imagine (Coca Cola Championship etc), or allowing a team to move 50 miles from its roots and adopting an American style name (MK Dons) Red Bull Southampton sounds good and the name is just semantics like the Friends Provident St Marys Stadium, which was always St Marys to the fans, the team will always be Southampton FC (but with a new a badge, sponsor and no stripes I would imagine - still Red and White though)

As long as Hartlepool home or away is not in August I'm not worried!!!
