Dig Dig

Probably sacked him to somehow stop his accelerated ageing process. It's for his own good!

Just people enjoying seeing us up there and playing good football. For all the Champions League talk on here, don't recall anyone saying we will finish top 4, the only people who talk about us competing with the big boys are the likes of you Bazza. Do you secretly think we can do it?

Poor not to play him from the start though, he's our best player and we lack creativity without him.

Lallana and Fonte have knocks.

Good effort pal

It's not about who is better, you're right, but people who go to games are generally richer, healthier, have a better quality of life and are more knowledgeable in general re saints and football. All IMO of course.

If there is nothing really on in your own half, kick it long in a measured and controlled way!

Noticed a fair few goalies routinely send their goal kicks out to the touchline and to the full back. We do it a lot when the short pass to the centre backs isn't on but it always seems like a pointless ball to me. Nearly always goes out of play directly or off the player and if the player does get it, they are usually instantly under pressure. Any reason why keepers are instructed to do this?

Oh ok, thanks for that. Lambert did seem to be in better positions last season, when you consider the goals against City and Villa last year, he's not hitting them from the edge of the 18 yard box these days.

Think we actually score more under Pochettino?

It is funny how these discussion become an either or scenarios when the reality is, both will play a lot of minutes for us. For the time being, Ossie will continue to start as that's what happens when strikers score goals.

This thread is a clear abuse of mod "power". Made a sticky for no real reason at all and banning items of discussion at the same time

just watch the game mate, it's only a couple of hours.

dune hated that as well. I think you two would get on like a house on hire.

The most irritating are those (they usually come in two's) who think that everyone else around them want to hear their running commentary of the game. Regardless of whether they are talking absolute ****e (which most of it is) or not, keep it to yourself and watch the game/support the team.

Basically said that he likes it here and doesn't know where the Jan transfer speculation is coming from. Trying to adapt to the league as quickly as possible but wants to make it a success at Saints.

What about 7th mate?

Good opportunity to play some of the fringe players in order to allow the others to focus on the league.

Completely sober mate but buoyed by a good result yesterday. Moyes thinks that Utd can still win the title. If true, we certainly can as we have a better midfield.

Yea your post is pretty poor. And one of your 3 a day

Top spot do we need to be from January in order to make a challenge for the title? We are currently 12 points off, if we can maintain the gap whilst struggling with injuries and tough fixtures, I think we would be in the mixer. Certainly not too far away from the top 3 in terms of quality, just not as lucky as them!!

Reported pal. You have been warned.

More Lamberts fault than anyone else. Good assist from the back post but was very wasteful in good areas last night. Seems reluctant to take a shot these days.

This. Very arrogant poster IMO.
