and yet it's a better percentage than 5 in 22.

nope, increases his value and gives him a stronger bargaining basis as well as doing a favour to a club where he's been for 5 years. Still see him at M U next season. He wants to be in the squad come June 2014, Deschamps is a "big" club pundit, if Morgan was at Juventus,Lyon or PSG he'd have got the nod before Gonalons or Pogba before now. Staying at Saints is restricting his chance of being in Brazil in June 2014. He knows it.

In fact I'd say the plan is 3rd in the PL, win the Cup and make the final of the Europa League. Rafa won't want to get beaten in the Cup Replay, we all know how it stands between he and Sir Alex. Plus they'll have a shedload of players coming back from international duties.

still might, you'd have to colour me dubious about him still being here on the opening day of next season .

tbh for my part I was never a great fan of NA. Always thought he'd hit the buffers sooner or later. Wouldn't have got past the first 10 games this season, if it was up to me (which it obviously wasn't) Must be said that amongst all the posters of this forum we were in a minority of about 4 though.

we failed to convert our chances against QPR, they didn't. It's a big failing with the Saints on occasions.

Gerrard was an excellent player, should have moved on at his peak. Same as MLT really. Top players need new challenges from time to time to avoid stagnation no matter how much the fans love them. Still think a couple of ours will need to move on within a couple of years to exploit their full potential.

And yet even the Chelsea park the bus schema shows real managerial ability, try to get Drogba to track back and tackle in his own box...now that would defeat most managers.

Pochettino obviously, for me NA was only as good as the players he had at his disposal. When he has a squad that needs managing because most of them aren't playing way below their level we shall see just how good his managerial abilities really are. 2 successive promotions...well with half a PL team at his disposal it really isn't a surprise. I shall never forget the danger he put us into with his crass mishandling of the keeper situation, for me that shows his level.

I'd by far rather face Ba than Torres, don't rate Ba over highly, too erratic. Torres is still a hard player to handle. Ba is up and down, the middle, Torres is everywhere and dangerous if his stuff comes off.

I thought he was supposed to be "favourite" to take over at Leicester. Don't much care myself where he ends up although it would be quite interesting to see his managerial skills without a "ready to roll" setup.

Portsea Island would be no loss

What's it got to do with him ?

Newcastle are over-extending their ressources, a couple more injuries again today. Could be in big trouble if they lose against Sunderland.

Adkins as overly loyal to KD and seemed to want nothing to do with Boruc. Cost him his job and us a place in the top half.

Excellent game yesterday, watched some of his goal attempts closely, looked to me as if his anticipatation and timing are slightly off most of the time, tends to lean back too far to try to get too much ooomph on the ball. Not an expert but I think he's over-complicating his shooting. Needs to watch JRod, he keeps it really simple

way to go, Suarez has a fragile mental state.

Bad game or as good a could be expected faced with our own excellent and tenacious midfield ?

2 million £...according to Adkins if only he'd got that right from the outset.

will take big money though

better that than slagging off the team and the manager

too many teams with too many games in hand make 10th a bit of a pipe dream.

and the back-pass is always an option if the defenders are in trouble, counts for a lot.

at least we scored 3, seeing as our problem has been failing to score at all of late we should be content with 3. Still reckon scoring early is what counts.

probably an 8 nil spanking for us.
