This is the trouble, the top sides have 3 decent keepers each so the acceding minnows like ourselves are left with the dregs.

El Trabsi got Wigan 3 points on Saturday already, if we had him or someone like him we might even be on 4 points now.

Strange one this fallacy that being a "character" can actually couterbalance lack in quality in performance. Same thing with De Ridder I guess, just because he tweets a lot can in no way make up for the fact that he isn't a particulary good footballer.

Yes to replace Kelvin cos he ain't good enough, we won't though, not until January t least and then who knows we might be so far adrift because we didn't act in time that it just won't matter any more.

But in that case we should be looking for a Turnip and some Steel.

And ST holders, who had just seen the price of the prized sesame take a massive spike, to placate.

cyberspace equivalent of a smacked wrist I think, unless you go really overboard then you get the virtual equivalent of standing in the corner wearing a dunce's cap.

In my day at the old juvenile learning emporium it was a gold star on your exercise book for the former and a couple of whacks with mr Whippy for the latter (Mr Whippy being a cane not an Ice Cream Vendor).

Probably like all those old actors and actresses who get an Oscar for the entirety of their career's work. Like refs who give out yellow cards for a few fouls by the same player, they usually point to the approximate zones where the fouls were perpetrated. o

Can you still buy the Old Kent Rd for 60£ at Monopoly ?

I'd scoot off if I was you before F'sC asks you why you called yourself Luncheon Voucher Saint.

what does your valet say about it ?

so he moved, probably got divorced, Portland is the single parent capital of the whole wide world.

socal as in southern california ??, think it's a recognised regional abbreviation.

How long did it take to get a work permit for Suarez or David Luis or any of those other Brazilians,Argentines and Uruguayans? Think it's only a formality if they meet the criteria set down by the FA to the Home Office.

You mean the 5 million monopoly money we were supposed to be offering didn't stand up against Swansea's 1.5 million of the real green folding? More likely he thought now Laudrup there's a name I've heard of even if I haven't got a f*cking clue where Swansea is.

too early to judge yet but am beginning to get the feeling that we may have paid more than his qualities are actually worth. Koné cost Wigan about 3 million euros.

Once again I can only stress the inestimable value of a real Premier League keeper, we don't have one and we flipping well need to get one if we're to do anything useful this season.

not really, when you're on holiday in Europe or the US you probably convert everything into miles and pounds sterling to calculate the value. I live in France so it's the other way round for me

7.62 miles in probably 55/60 minutes actual playing time means he's running at 13/14 km/h all the time. I've seen these stats for French League 1 matches on Canal + cos they're big on stats and 7.62 miles is immense even for a CM, usually goes t somewhere around 10 k for the most active. If Morgan is covering so much distance it tends to show that some other player isn't putting in a big enough shift. Try running for a hour at 14 km/h, it's not something everyone would do, let alone putting in tackles and passes as well.

I don't know how accurate these stats are but if they're anywhere near the mark it goes to show just how erratic many of our fans are in their opinions. http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/614117/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2012-2013-Southampton-Wigan nb Jos and José 1 tackle between them, wtf is that.

I see Sky were totally unimpressed by him in their ratings though. They gave the MOM to the Wigan keeper. A really decent keeper in this league is like having 2 extra men sometimes, kept them in the match by all accounts and gave them the time they needed to exploit our defensive failings. I am singularly unimpressed by our recruitment so far and whoever is responsable for it needs a big kick up the ass. We didn't really need another striker but we do need at least one CB, a GK and left back.

Because it would seem to me that TL is a player with pace and unpredictability and we seem to be kind of lacking in those qualities just now, so at least worthy of a bench place if fully fit.

I'd be none too impressed either if I was TL and I was fit.

What seems wrong is that we're trying to play Lambert,Lallana,Guly and Rodriguez in a 4-3-3 base system. Nigel's just got to choose becuse it's either Lambert or Rodriguez but not both, surely he knew that when we paid 7 million for an NPC goaleador .
