Dr. Kucho

Condolences to Sam and his family. Cant imagine how hard it must be for someone to lose a close relative at such a young age.

I just noticed I forgot to put the at the end of the last sentence. This guy told me Cole would leave at the end of the season and Shaw would be their No 1 left back next season, his source was that Shaw is a Chelsea fan and always wanted to play for them (so he said)

Hope Targett is ready to slot in at LB next season, Chelsea fan I spoke to told me its 100% certain Shaw is coming to them in the summer...

I think MP is the key to player retention, get him to extend his contract and I can see some players turning down moves to bigger clubs. Plus that he gives the youth a chance, meaning the acadamy players will stay.

Didnt notice him being a bit heavy yesterday, prob due to dodgy stream. However with the players Stoke have, we need a bit of muscle to stop us being pushed around the park. And if VW can get back to the form he had prior to his injury he could def do a job. That said, before or after his injury, VWs passing does make me sweat.

Stick with the same team that started the second half yesterday, then/if we are leading bring Wanyama on in the second half to protect the defence.

Need a strong half time talk from Pochetino, we havent been poor, but can also play a lot better!

Anyone watching his show Dont Look Down now on Channel 4? The guy is nuts, the Ukrainian guy is mental

Browns lucky he didnt do that to Osvaldo, broken/dislocated ankle or not, the guy would have murderd him there and then. Dissapointed with the result, but would have taken a point before the game. Hope Lovren and Ramirez arent to badly injured and the stretchers and oxygen was just a precaution.

Where are Vman and Morph when we need some inside info on the whole situation?

Almost 1 year to the day that Adkins was sacked, Cortese resigns. January is a bad month for us. The next chairman has one hell of a job to do, and hopefully has the same mindset as Cortese. Players, managers and chairman come and go, but us fans will always be Saints. COYR

Have just come in from work, can someone give me a short update what has happened? Thanks

Hope Victor has spent the time he has been injured working out at the gym, the guy needs more upperbody strength and is way to lightweight

Pleased with the result, but not at all impressed with us today, have to improve our game big time. Pleased to see Gaston upping his game, changed it round for us today. Looking forward to the game against Sunderland, lets show Poyet what Dag and Redbridge can do to them! Anyone know when Wanyama is back?

Rodriquez and Clyne have been poor, wouldnt mind to see Chambers replace Clyne at HT or early in the second half.

Like said above, its only 4 months. Go out to a local bar after work and speak to the locals, Germans speak good English and friendly people. I have worked and studied abroad and have to say they were the best times, and also gained some good life experience. Where are you baised?

20m + Mata, Ivanovic and Lukaku seems a reasonable deal to me.

I really dont think Gaston is as bad as some make out on here. He might not have set the world alight here, but we have seen flashes of his talent at times. That said, I think he just doesn,t fit in the system we play, so if a decent offer comes this month (around 8 mil) I would accept it. Reminds me of Tevez and Mascherano at West Ham, once they went to decent clubs and played with better players, they excelled and showed their true talent.

Score another goal early in the second half and then take Shaw and Morgan of as a precaution. Would replace them with Gallagher and Reed and go to a 3-5-2 line up

I feel sorry for them, their lives are so pathetic and boring that they spend all day on a football forum trying to wind people up.

I hate Chelsea so f**king much and this ref is also an absolute cretin. And have enough of hearing MP say 'we deserved more etc', we have to start winning games ffs. Not this playing the ball around in defence, practice attacking and breaking down team! Rant over, happy new year to you all.

Restrictions shouldnt be lifted on people from Romania and Bulgaria. I have no problem with people from those countries, in fact I have met some and they were friendly people. However we should wait until the NHS, youth unemployment and social housing is in a better state, until we think of letting more people in. The best thing would be to leave the EU, having lived in the Netherlands and Spain I have witnessed the pathetic rules and regulations the EU try to force on us.

Deserved a point, great goal and celebration by Gaston.

MP needs to reshuffle the midfield, dont know what, but something in midfield has change. Lovren and Fonte doing well handling Lukaku. And what a player Barkley is, imagine having him in our squad, Lallana, Barkley and Rodriquez in midfield.
