Massive IFS but can see it as natural progression both at club & country if the current saints stay together as lallana successor

Which england players would make it into the saints 1st team playing the saints way? International form only for england players Joe hart - our defence would renew his confidence RB - nobody better than Clyne Gary Cahill - would be great with lovren Jagiellka(sp) - would be great with lovren LB - not much better than shaw DM - nobody near Morgan & victor or Morgan & cork lallana too good for rest of england Jrod not great but not really any worse than welbeck Jwp still early but would play for england not himself AT/no9/no10- Rooney would fit in well, great work rate to go with great skill Front 4 of any of lallana, jrod, jwp, rickie, osvaldo, Rooney Walcott, sturridge, AOC could all do a job but would they give defencive cover jrod does?

Cortese should phone up mark chamberlain & tell him to arrange for AOC to return home Even if only to upset arsenal Alway thought that Micah Richards would make a great england player if played regularly would City sell & would he come?

Best result at old Trafford is a massive brawl with multiple red cards & points deduction

The skates must love it that a former nott arf krap attendee is now playing for a top prem team

Premier League High Scorers 1992-2013 - Southampton 1 Matthew Le Tissier 101 1992 2000 11 Jim Magilton 13 1994 1996 2 James Beattie 68 1998 2004 12 Peter Crouch 12 2004 2004 3 Marian Pahars 42 1998 2003 13 Matt Oakley 12 1996 2004 4 Egil Ostenstad 28 1996 1999 14 Joe Tessem 12 1999 2002 5 Kevin Phillips 22 2003 2004 15 Neil Shipperley 12 1994 1996 6 Ian Dowie 21 1992 1994 16 Brett Ormerod 11 2001 2003 7 Rickie Lambert 19 2012 2013 17 Anders Svensson 10 2001 2004 8 Kevin Davies 19 1997 2002 18 Jason Dodd 10 1992 2003 9 Neil Maddison 17 1992 1997 19 Ken Monkou 10 1992 1998 10 Hassan Kachloul 15 1998 2000 20 Jay Rodriguez 9 2012 2013 Before it gets posted I know that there was football pre 1992 How high can rickie & jrod get? Rickie has to be looking at 4th this season jrod possibly getting top 10 Who else is going to get on the list in the near future? At least 1 of Morgan , lallana & osvaldo should get there this season

IMO she has to be on top form every game or otherwise she will get slated does anyone really know the names of other lineos

Let's just hope that this gives MoPo the chance to promote another accademy player into the 1st team squad

I rod could do with a bit extra training in how to get some more power into his shots but then so could the rest of the squad maybe except rickie

Think Boruc would almost like to face a pen in near future just to save it & say there is stokes goal sorted Remember Bruce Grobbalaar in. 1st game after match fixing putting Dickov of arsenal off from pen

Did Cortese have a quick word at half time to say don't score any more save goal bonus & instead pay pass bonus

Have juventus ever heard of a certain Nicola Cortese who will tell them reverse the figures & make it cash up front so £31m

So basically as it stands a the moment

The Chelsea goal was shockingly bad Why can a keeper bounce the ball when they are only supposed to handle the ball once Why is bouncing it any different to dropping the ball to the ground then picking it up again Also when was the last time a ref enforced the 6 second rule for keepers to have the ball in their possession ?

Biggest question is how will hodgson spell 10 rickie or Rooney Hope Boruc lets in a rickie shot at wembley then gets back to business with another clean sheet on sat

M Ed achange have been used to saints having 2nd best defence in most of the matches I've seen over last 25 years

Boruc played the way I expect him to play solid the ball was like a bit of metal towards his magnetic gloves

Nath n Dyer terrorised damn fox today & still ended up on the lossing side

In all fairness to the officials if players stopped cheating it would be easier The ref against palace deserves credit for spotting the dive & not giving a pen & red card against Boruc

I know it's still Very early but what is the most prem clean sheets in a season? Who holds record for a prem keeper? Shilton holds top flight record with 18/19 KD holds lower league record with 20

The players looked like real close mates on tue I think it was Rickie, wanyama, Clyne, Fonte, Morgan, lovren, Boruc & osvaldo ( probably missed someone out) all sat together happily signing autographs at the back of the itchen

It wasn't so much the save but the effect it had on gerrard & Liverpool who jus lost all confidence that Boruc could be beaten

Yesterday was great Saints playing Liverpool off the park The players reaction to the goal & watching the celebrations at full time on te half way line & then really celebrating in front of us But I was disappointed by the lack of anfield atmosphere the only time the kop made any real noise was when they played you'll never walk alone before kick off I'm sure if osvaldo had scored to put us 2-0 up they would have left well before full time

Is unfair to say big Vic is playing like Carlton Palmer did for us covers every blade of grass, breaks up play, brings the ball forward but not got a great 1st touch But after watching yesterday was happy that we had Vic & Morgan instead of liverpools midfield

Seen 4 games this season don't think he's really put a foot wrong great tackle at WBA, had west ham in his pocket then provides masterclass at anfield Allows Shaw to be attacking
