http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/574805/Southampton-Jay-Rodriguez-contract I thought we'd already offered one?

I think both of Elia's goals up at Newcastle were deflected somewhat.

Arsenal must be so infuriating for their fans. When they're under no pressure, they play and go on a run of form. Everyone starts screaming and shouting about how good Arsenal are, Wenger then comes out and says he's happy with the squad for next year. (Which he has been quoted as saying) And like a predictable loop, they will once again choke when the pressure cranks up, slip away between January > March and everyone will be crying for Wenger to go again.

Lol.

No one in particular I would have thought.

The most obvious WUM in the history of WUM's

The shouting for us to sign players based on 4 or 5 weeks of form, is almost as bad as writing off your own players after 3 or 4 weeks of poor form. Snap-judgments of the common football fan.

Maybe, but let's not allow it to completely fade out.

Some interesting quotes I read from MP earlier, but it was within an article discussing the appointment of Paul Mitchell. “I think that we need to be more clever than the teams that invest more money than us. It is for that, I am very happy because we create a very strong institute now and follow the players around the world” http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/2015/05/paul-mitchell-the-transfer-genius/

It's been a great season, but I just hope that we don't let it just fade out. I still think we needed to beat Spurs in the home game to have any hope of finishing above them, unfortunately. I think we'll be close by but we'll end on 61/62 pts in 7th. Great haul and hopefully some sort of European football next season.

That's exactly the sort of GK we need to sign. Not a stop gap, someone young and who is totally good enough to come in and start for us. Rated as one of the best GK prospects in world football, and Norway's best prospect for a long time. I hope it's true.

Does this mean that our defeat has been wiped from the records? Excellent. Someone tell Koeman and the lads, #wemarchon

wtf is going on? I didn't post what's above???

The forum has screwed.

Glad you agreed John.

Wade, come on. It was Ralf last year who said ''Jay and Morgan aren't going anywhere'', and Les has NOT said, anywhere, what so ever, in this recent media-release that Morgan will NOT be sold. It may not be our intention to sell them, but he hasn't come out and said they won't be sold.

It's the same as last year, I don't see why Wade can't see that. Look, i'm not saying they'll all go for sure and we're screwed etc etc, but it's just simply not the case that he's sent out a clear ''hands off, they're not going''. Last year he said, probably in May if i recall correctly, that he was ''surprised at the lack of bids for players, but that our intention is to keep this squad together and continue adding to it'' - those were his words, more or less. 2 months on, and we'd shipped out 5 players from that first team. The club obviously have no intentions of selling off players, that's true.....but if a big club comes in with a big bid and offers big money to the player, then they will go.

He hasn't, really. He's basically said there's no intention to sell, but he said the same last year re: lovren/lallana/shaw etc

Balls. Had a feeling that was the end when he walked off last weekend. He's been a joy to watch these last 6 years.

Morgan is too good for them. He said he didn't want to spend Wednesday/Tuesday nights watching the Champions league anymore, so why would he sideways move to Spurs? As he'd still be watching it on the TV. I just think he's much more ambitious than that. If they're the only team interested, he should re-new his contract with us, with a release clause if a CL team comes in - and we go from there. MP is under serious pressure next year by the way, I think fans have kind of accepted some of the results this season as a ''bedding in'' period.....but they will expect a lot more next year.

I don't think that's true, if it carries on over the next 2/3 seasons, then maybe...but we have 4 places next year.

Lallana looked pants last night when he came on, totally ineffective.

Although I agree with what you said MLG, I can't quite agree with the Clyne remark. Chambers and Clyne were pretty much on level terms in the pecking order, and MP did seem to prefer Chambers.

I really, really feel sorry for Rickie. I genuinely think he went there with the confidence that he could add something, and why wouldn't he think that. I didn't begrudge him his move as it's a proper story, but how Rogers has used and treated him is nothing short of a total disgrace. He hasn't got a clue how to utilize him. He's sat on the bench every single game, whilst Balotelli tries to imitate a footballer and occasionally they don't actually play with a striker - it's so harsh on the lad, he could have offered a lot if he was used correctly. It just seems that the only times he'll get on is when they are chasing a game in the closing stages, with the single tactical genius idea of ''HIT IT LONG''. His game is so much more than that, and after this season I don't know if he's ever going to be the same Rickie we knew ever again. Well done Rogers, you incompetent baffon.

He's had a good season to be fair and would still be a good addition. Lol @ Sunderland being spoken about as a potential destination though, they'd be lucky to get Jos.
