Plus Fox is too often caught out out of position and actually doesn't support AL very well at all - Sorry, I just can't take to Fox - not convinced at all....

Certainly agree that Cork looked very promising on the right against Cov and well worth looking at that again seeing as we are so weak there. Also Cork was often not outstanding in the central role last year....

This post is a wind up yes? It would appear that you did not watch the Euros or you would not have made that curious statement.....

Whilst I appreciate Jack Cork is decent and I,m glad as he is a Saints player I really can not see it and particularly in ahead of AL, it just doesn't make any sense.......

No you are 'deluded'..........Why would it be that just because you have a pemiership label you are 'good enough' . There are players in the Championship who are as good or in some cases better that premiership players - labels don't mean a thing. There will be players in our team who have probably been enquired about by premier clubs when we were in the lower leagues so just because they don't move doesn't mean they are not premier standard! We have had several instances whereby we sell a player to Arsenal or other teams and suddenly overnight they are worthy of an international call up! The stigma of players having to be at big clubs in the prem to be good enough is restricting our choice and hence competition for places in the England set up. Watch the film Money Ball. We are in a society that is addicted to brands and labels. England managers over the years have been the worst at sticking to players who fit the big boys criteria rather than the best players for purpose. Window cleaner is entirely correct - if don't wear the premiership badge on your arm and preferable play for the top six or eight you can more or less forget it. The big clubs don't know it all - God, Dalgliesh paying 20 odd million for Henderson says an awful lot !!!!

Like Milner you mean!!!!!

You really are well wide of the mark there. Whilst AL has his faults running around like a 'headless chicken' is most definitely not one of them. You obviously don't watch games - Rediculous comment....

I'll say it.........I didn't see why the likes of Parker, Young and Milner were so outstanding that they warranted a place in the England team. Why do we continue to pick unskillful 'runners' that will never win us anything at a major tournament? AL is miles ahead of these guys and he should have been there. I know Parker is a central midfielder but you where I'm coming from and indeed AL can play there too!

The ticket selling arrangements have been terrible at the club for quite a while - actually beggars belief on all tickets sales !!!

Good Luck Dennis - top guy......

Note to Ian Holloway.........We are playing Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal in our first four games! Message ends.....

Ummm can't say I agree with you any of that!

So we sign a player who is 'better' than what we have and he is only backup to Kelvin - how precisely does does that make sense. You intimate that Kelvin is still your No 1. If we bring someone 'better' in and they are 'better' they should play. It's no good sitting on fences where we will be playing - I think I smell a hint of sentimentality in your post which is always dangerous........

Eric Martin was class and should have played for his country. As far as I know he he never had a look in.......

You say that but even our Nigel would have struggled with no money and a team of 18 year olds. All things considered Potaloo did a very good job playing some decent football with kids and I would say well done with what he had to work with.........

? Would that ba a heavy weight bout! I hope to God Adkins claps him into the ring!

pure rubbish. Dave Jones did very little for saints and was right to be moved on.

Is this the same fox that always sits off a wide player and stands and watches him cross the ball in rather than closing down......Does it time and time again.....

A perfect summary if I might say. Been found wanting in my opinion and will not be good enough in the PL.

Yes they didn't appear to handle the whole thing very well at all - in spite of not because of I would say....

No Chaplow worries me.........Why don't we replace him with a similar player in a similar role? Even one our Yufe team with energy to spare......Guly just doesn't make runs and DeRidder flatters to deceive neither do the job Chappers does......

We were half the team when Chappers came off against Reading and exactly the same thing happened against Middlesbro. Massively underated....

Your response does not bare the detail which is required to answer the question has posed...........It;s really nothing to do with budget is it..........

Davies was actually so far from the centre of the goal that I was chatting to him in West End when the free kick was taken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he said the season was going well and what a lovely day then asked me what the score was.............

Get a grip man and be slightly more focused on the obvious issues............
