Dig Dig

I think when the club talk about Europe, they mean CL. Pochettino has already said that the club don't rate the Europa Cup.

Doesn't read as something you would write mate, sounds like it was written by a wiseman : )

Article published by the club today although the quote from Lambert isn't new. Good indictation that the cup is a priortiy or a bit of hollow PR? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/lambert-aims-for-fa-cup-glory-1272699.aspx

So if a journalist asks a Saints player if the club could reach the Champions League, they should answer "no" or refuse to answer in case some of our fans strangely get annoyed by it. I doubt it was Rodriguez who bought the subject up...

More hocus pocus Champions League/keeping all our best players talk from Saints, this time from Jay. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25589843 Barry will enjoy this and something for certain people to get irritated by.

Yea you're probably right. No signings at all is the most likely outcome but been more whispers of GK targets over any other.

Probably, the second a ref is deemed not fit to ref a particular team (unless from the area), shouldn't be allowed to ref at all IMO

PL say Clattenburg has no case to answer. Awkward.

The physicality required to be a CB or GK is also a factor, a player can show promise as a GK or CB but don't develop in size and stature in their mid to late teens and are often moved into a different position.

Good posts Krakers, Smirkers and Rassa!

Sell a club legend and consumate pro and replace him with a knob head wannabe gangster?

If we do sign a player in Jan, would most likely be a GK, IMHO of course.

Yea I know, but the barrometer of our improvement (or lack of if you think that way) isn't based on comparing corresponding fixtures from the season before. You've been an advocate in the past of the table telling the only story which needs to be told. We are 9th, higher than we were at any stage last season.

It wasn't Adkins in charge when we beat them last season. I'm sure that the expectation isn't to beat them every season.

Sad if so. However, sure you agree that Bazza seems quite upset about stuff this season? Seems unhappy that Cortese isn't spending Chelsea-esq sums to get us into the Champions League but not sure that anyone said we would.

Why do you seem so frustrated with 9th? Most people are pretty happy I think, enjoying supporting us as usual.

New manager every 6 months to a year then? Sounds awesome mate.

Until he has a bad run?

Go and find them mate, won't take too long, there weren't that many.

Cortese's comments don't mean that he will sack any manager who loses 6 games

Just wait, better run of games coming up, players to return and chance to strengthen if anyone decent available. Enjoy the next few days of repeating the same thing over and over Baz.

Was doing well for a long time (3 seasons) before players started to get sold. Hardly a comparison is it? 9th in the table and our fans (on here anyway) return to their cretinous ways after a run of bad results.

Top 8 for this season, what do you expect him to do?

Club legend, lets sell him for 8M to West Ham.
