Do you really think Ramirez and Cork are going to turn us into a solid defensive unit? These players reputations grow simply by not being in the team while it is stinking the place out!

Tell me more about these rumours about NC and NA falling out. They didn't get on last season either but it didn't affect the teams form.

Better than losing 7-5 after being 4-0 up though

Post something that makes sense then

Well not a lot of sense in that OP

Robbie Fowler on SSN: "Southampton are truly awful".

I cringed

Thanks for the heads up! By the way, do you think the Skates will notice the difference between Saints scarves and Sheff Utd scarves?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the exchanges on the subject, I completely concur. Finding fault with Boruc for that goal is kinda strange. Whether or not Davis or Gazza would have done anything better or worse is pretty irrelevant.

It hasn't started in earnest yet - give people time to get home and have their dinner first.

Amazing how split the opinions are about Boruc. I was at West Ham and thought he was a bit shaky. Yesterday, I could not fault his performance TBH - nor do I think he is unfit and overweight. He is just a big unit - not a bad trait for a goalkeeper.

Most of our free kicks this season have been pretty offensive.

I haven't seen such a phrase on here recently - maybe I haven't been paying enough attention.

V for Victory

I like listening to Holloway - a bit like WGS in many ways.

True. I hope you are right. On the other hand, I think he is definitely one player whose reputation has been enhanced by not actually playing. He certainly made us a better team (against Villa for example), but I remain to be convinced he alone can turn around our defensive calamities.

In the first half - yes. Apart from one incident, fairly anonymous in the second half.

It seems unlikely, given that the original prognosis was something like 6 weeks.

Well, a not entirely unexpected attempt to justify your assertion. Personally, I think it is ludicrously harsh assessment. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Are you actually Rickie Lambert posting under a pseudonym?

In which case, you have a very slow reaction time.....like about 24 hours slow. Anyway, as I said, back to the current subject.....

Probably this highly offensive post, judging by the timing: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?40807-Surreal!&p=1510403#post1510403 Perhaps you are feeling about fragile? Anyway, back to the current subject.....

I'll settle for a clean sheet first.

I'm flattered you took the time. I must have had a profound affect on your psyche without even trying.

I agree. It is hardly likely that we will manage another start to a Championship season like the one we enjoyed last season - especially after a season of being battered every week and getting relegated. I would hate to become the next Derby County.
