Bearsy

Fonte hasn't been the same since he cut his hair. I can see why it might knock his confidence, he looks a right **** now with it short. I call it Torres syndrome. Also that one guy from the bible.

Au contraire, you're talking out your arse krak! (Lol @ arse crack - good one Bearsy!) We ain't got any wingers! Punch is sh!t*, everyone knows that! Guly is sh!t! NA wants to play Lallana in midfield! Rodriguez is only getting stuck out on the wing cos we ain't got no-one else, and Mayuka IMO is a striker signed as a Billy Sharp upgrade which is why Sharpe immediately got the old elbow! * Punch may or may not be sh!t

Although we're agreeing on essentially every point I still feel you're mocking me! I ain't saying it for any other team selection, but I reckon on this particular occassion NC was like "I've signed this sweet player, but I had to promise he'd get a go against United." NA rolled his eyes, but was like "Ok Nicolas, but I wish you'd check with me first. What if we're doing really good and I don't want to disrupt the team balance? Cvnt!" (he added the last bit under his breath as he was walking away)

On that penalty weren't it exactly the same as the one we didn't get against City? Big club bias!

Digs! Are you mocking the conspiracy! NC promised the dude he'd play against United, that's a FACT (insofar as I read something bout it on here) The question is, would NA have wanted to make that commitments?

It's a conspiracy theory innit! Slinging on Mayuka just seemed pretty random to me, and not like a normal Adkins decision cos he's pretty meticulous usually about patterns of play and team integration or whatever. It was a total roll of the dice. Something stinks! I didn't even see them bothering with that thing where they show them the little tactics sheet and explain what they're gonna do. "Oh just go up front or whatever. You can't do too much damage up there."

If we hadn't signed a winger, I'd be starting a thread saying Be Honest Wouldn't the £12m We Spent On Dann and Olson Be Better Spent On A High Class Winger. I ain't even sure £12m would've got them deals done either. Championship clubs are right robbing bastards this season!

Do you reckon Adkins was under orders to bring Mayuka on? Ain't Cortese got form for getting narky when his personal signings don't play? Seem to remember a Pardew situation when he left Papa Waigo out or something.

I don't think we've got 25 overage players 35 years old, played 11 games for Milan last season.

get that tv off tv = transvestite get off = vvank off vvank that transvestite off Dunno why Letis takes that personally... has he vvanked off a transvestite?

He ain't a bad footballer Fox, he really ain't. It's just he stays so narrow! There you go Valencia sling a cross in if you like! I don't blame him for doing that cos there ain't a winger in the league who wouldn't mug him in a one-one-one. It's hard to know what to do about it really. Bit of a random idea, but anyone fancy Jack Cork at left back?

Leave over. Good thread IMO!

We could've got something against City and definitely today, but I wouldn't go as far as to say we deserved it. Didn't see the Wigan game. Overall too soon to tell! Don't seem to have many clean sheets in us tho which is the worry!

Davis looked more knackered than Puncheon. Where was Chaplow?

Weren't exactly quality from the bench was it? A striker playing out of position, a guy on his first appearance in English football, and Guly

My villa mate when he signed that Davis is good for 60 minutes then you've got to take him off cos he don't have any stamina Could've used Cork from the bench today IMO

Yeah course! They totally pinch but my calves look banging!

Is that legits? No Guly?

Thanks for your support Glasgow, me and my boss Saint Scott appreciate the tribute.

Yo mods can you make me sticky!

Saint Scott asked me to post this cos he'd done it all pretty again but is too busy and important to stick it up himself - I'm like his secretary! I'm even wearing short skirt for this! BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE Venue: Saint Marys Stadium Date: Sunday, 2 September KO: 16:00 TEAM NEWS Southampton Southampton could give a debut to Zambia forward Emmanuel Mayuka, who has already been granted a work permit. Japan defender Maya Yoshida will not figure after only joining the club on Friday. Guly may not start unless someone can give him a lift to SMS Manchester United Jonny Evans returns from an ankle injury for Manchester United and will partner Nemanja Vidic in central defence. Phil Jones (back) and Rio Ferdinand (groin) are back in training but unlikely to be involved. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has big red nose and when he leans back complacently in interviews and puts his hands behind his head I want to give his chair a big shove MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Southampton are the greatest team the world has ever seen and often humiliate Manchester United, especially in home games Manchester United have won on three of their four trips to St Mary's, including a 2-1 win in May 2005 that ultimately relegated Southampton after a 27-year stay in the top flight. There have been 92 goals scored in their 26 Premier League contests - an average of 3.5 goals per game. The current Southampton squad has made a combined 233 Premier League appearances. Manchester United's quintet of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand have reached that figure individually. Southampton Saints are in danger of losing their opening three matches of a season for the first time in 11 years. They have won only three of their 41 Premier League matches played in the opening three fixtures. If selected, Dan Fox will be playing in his 250th match in English football and Adam Lallana the 200th of his club career. If selected for his third League start of the season, Guly will be sh!t Manchester United This fixture is Sir Alex Ferguson's 1,000th league match as Manchester United manager. He has won 598, drawn 233 and lost 168 of the previous 999. His team have scored 1,863 goals and conceded 890 during his reign. United are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League matches against newly-promoted clubs (13 wins) since a 1-0 defeat at Burnley in August 2009. They have lost three of their last four away league matches by 1-0. If selected, Ryan Giggs will be making his 600th Premier League appearance - the first player to reach this milestone, while Robin Van Persie is a hat-trick shy of 100 Premier League goals. Alex Ferguson is totally bricking it that his team of ageing has beens get murdered by Nigel Adkins new styled "Red Arrows" TEAM LINE-UPS Southampton Davis Clyne Fonte Hooiveld Fox JWP Schniederlin Davis Puncheon Lambert Lallana 01 K Davis - hooray 02 Clyne - HOORAY! 05 Hooiveld - HOOray 06 Fonte - hooray 13 Fox - hooray 04 Schneiderlin - Hooray 08 S Davis - Hooray 16 Ward-Prowse - Hooray! 20 Lallana - HOOOOORRRAAAYY! 42 Puncheon - hooray 07 Lambert - HOOOOORRRAAAYY!

How bout informally?

Never in doubt! Any whispers on if we had to give him a buy-out clause / relegations escape clause?

Dunno bout that LostBoys, if we're playing 4-3-3 he wouldn't be in my first string. Nor, to be honest, my second string. Good option if ur playing 4-4-2 tho!

I actually have the opposite policies! If I'm in the traps and someone walks in I start doing really loud fake farts you know like you do when you invert your hands with your palms over your cheeks and blow really hard! I keep doing it till the standee says something like "Dude... are you ok?"
