What's the obsession with comparing Lambert and Carroll? Similar players yes, but they'll be playing for sides with such conflicting aims and objectives next season. One's 30 years old, the other 23. Give Lambert a chance first. We don't know if he's good enough for the Premier League yet because he's never played a game at the level before. He'll have the faith of the manager and his team-mates so instead of creating threads such as...: "Is Adkins good enough?" "Is Lambert good enough?" ...every summer, get behind them to give them the belief that they are good enough. Rant over.

Pretty much exactly what you said. Can't wait for pre-season to get going now. Losing to Derby on penalties in the play-offs will always hurt 10x more than any inevitable England failure.

It had Cortese on it for about 10 seconds. Therefore, I am going to pretend I don't like the bloke or that he is the Dictator of Southampton for attention on forums.

I suspect the Walsall away one was worse.

Could persuade him Le Tiss still plays for us by just sending him a video of Lambert taking penalties.

£5 million? Yikes.

Said he's not going. That's the end of this thread, then.

Incredibly versatile (CB, LB and LW - strange combo).

Can play AM or on either wing. Get him in.

That's not true. Falque signed a new deal with Spurs the day he signed on loan for us.

Supposedly predicted the Sharp and Hooiveld deals right.

Oh I'm sure you've already written to them. They'll struggle even without a points deduction. They're League 2 bound.

£2m + Puncheon for Ince, according to the Mirror: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-boss-wants-sir-850478?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Scored an OG against Scotland last night. Load of sh*te

Without a doubt Reading. Then Spurs.

I'm in.

We need a long-term replacement for Kelvin either this season or next - players like Gordon and Carson are not it. Someone with potential, good distribution and who is a decent shot stopper. Shouldn't be too hard to find...

Depending on who they appoint and if they sell Bent or not - Villa/Norwich, Wigan and Swansea.

Hindsight. It's wonderful.

My heart couldn't take it. We'd all end up in different rows by the end of the celebrations.

Definitely. Despite Norwich and Swansea's success, constantly comparing ourselves to them will do us no good. It's not where I think we'll finish but I'd happily take it now. It means survival in the Premier League in our first season, so why not?

It will whenever we play the first big team.

Not sure if this was the same one as the other day but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INFCh7TaVZI

But true. Fairly normal kick-off times most weekends and the person sitting next to me not getting up to go the toilet every 3 minutes or actually knowing who the players are.

Behave.
