I know you're just being a WUM but who are the 16 teams who'll finish above us then?

It'll be Hooiveld I should imagine. Not that I have a problem with Martin but we need someone who is comfortable on the left side of CB.

He's still around? Blimey, I thought he was a dinosaur when with us! Not being kept on by the cheats says it all, no thanks.

The look on his face when he found out would have been f*cking hilarious. I do want rid of him, mind.

Back. Fairly comfortable until we started to overplay it. Short goal kicks EVERY time had us under pressure but to be fair to Bart, he made a good save at his near post from Clarke to make it 2-2. Lallana was great, probably MOTM. Complete justice we got the 3rd goal as we had a blatant penalty turned down on a trip on Lallana with about 2/3 minutes to go when the awful ref was right by the incident. Plus the fact Swindon's attacker Kerrouche(?) should have been sent off right on half time. He got one booking for throwing the ball away(which the ref was very anal over) and he then consequently got angry about it and proceeded to hack down Cork and the refs solution was to blow for HT. Handbags from the 2 benches followed. Di Canio has always been a knob but he demonstrated it further tonight. Not just for the incident with Clarke either, but his petty throwing of his arms and moaning on the touchline - once confronted by Adkins. We made it more difficult than needed to at times but thankfully got the deserved 3rd goal from the very sharp and surprisingly quick Lambert. Bring on Preston/Charlton.

@ReadingFC Reading FC Official Home fixture against Birmingham is moved back 24 hours due to City's Europa League commitments. Now scheduled for Sun 6th Nov, kick off 3pm. Not on TV that one, I know.

Been told on Twitter we're one of a number of clubs after him.

Surprise surprise, a potential signing is already not good enough for some people. And those who think we'd have a hope in hell of signing Scott Dann need their head looking at. Adkins would have scouted him and wouldn't even think about bringing him in if he wasn't up to the standard of playing alongside Fonte week in, week out.

And what? He isn't Chris from Soccer AM.

Davis, Seaborne, Cork and Lambert all had very good games.

Would give Davis an 8 at least for a couple of cracking saves. Seaborne was generally decent, won most things in the air. Lambert was brilliant-so sharp.

My woeful attempt: (To the tune of- "he's fat, he's round, he bounces on the ground...") "He's french, he's class, he picks out every pass...Schneiderlin...Schneiderlin! "

at the whole video but he doesn't even attempt to pronounce Lallana at 3.16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9r9htRngnQ Most obvious inbred alive.

The consensus among Football fans that they have good support is such a myth. One d*ck with a bell and them clapping along with it is not an atmosphere. They couldn't sell out a under 20,000 seater stadium in the Premier League on a lot of occasions in their last season there which says it all.

Put it this way - I didn't expect us to start THIS well. We haven't played who I expect to be in the top 2/3 yet but I think we can clearly compete with teams hoping for the play-offs like Ipswich.

Who?

I think he said on SSN that he didn't want to sell Chamberlain but price was high and Cortese decided to let him go.

He took over in September last year and we've lost just ONE league game at home since then. Our record since he's arrived is terrific and I rate him so highly because of the professional way he goes about everything. When he comments on studying previous games and the next opposition, you just know he's done it impeccably. Not afraid to shake it up tactically either and the signings have been sensible. He's probably not as open as we'd like him to be in interviews but I can't remember being this optimistic as a Saints fan for a long, long time - if ever. Even under Pardew I was always a bit unsure. Bring on what should be a very enjoyable season with a great squad and management from the boardroom down!

Who does everyone want? Pompey?....Oh. Are we seeded? Arsenal, Birmingham City, Chelsea, Fulham, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Stoke City do not enter the competition until the third round stage due to their European involvement. Ties are scheduled for the week commencing August 22.

This window has been fantastic..only set to get better too!

Luke Shaw or Ward-Prowse I would have thought.

£12 million...laughing all the way to the bank.

Generous.

WTF was up with Lonergan too? Ran over like a d.ck and got himself booked when Fonte landed awkwardly on his neck/head.

I think the Ref just couldn't put up with that cheating, whining little sh*t Gradel in his ear any longer so gave it. Looked a handball in real time but not on the replays.
