I think puel has played him at Left Back in the last 2 games of pre season

@JWTelegraph: New 5yr deal for Fraser Forster. Southampton still optimistic of getting Koeman to commit, although his hand rather stronger this morning.. from Jeremy Wilson who usually gets all of our media exclusives from the club

Can't believe we aren't reinvesting all the money we have got from our players into the team, only spending £4m is shocking!! Reed Out, Krueger Out, Kat Out etc. all joking aside, absolutely brilliant piece of business, let's hope he can be the man to help us take our chances in games we are on top now and push up the table. Very excited by this, well done to all at the club.

not sure how bringing on Juanmi and gaston to attempt to win the game was a bad decision? the only thing poor about that game was not taking our chances in that first 45, after that utter dominance I think we all knew if we didn't get another we were in for a hard time because West Ham couldn't have been that bad again 2nd half. The one thing we do need is a backup RB that is actually capable of playing there in the PL. Both Martina and Yoshida were at fault for both their respective goals. But to blame the double sub for the loss is strange to me.

look at the state of some of you

I'm not sure how we are meant to even try and play good football with Targett and Martina as our wing backs and Davis and JWP as our most creative midfielders

Disappointed with the utter crap written in the post and your poor spelling of the word disappointed.

HOW DARE THEY BE WRONG!!!!! :x :x

sorry but I don't think I've seen any evidence of Reed being able to 'strike a ball' any better than Davis???

I was born in St Mary's hospital, Portsmyth. Lived in Gosport and Fareham whilst growing up but as others have said I can't ever remember there being a choice as my Dad was a Saint, I was one too! Even though his whole family were Pompey fans he saw the light, I never made it to the Dell as was too young but I believe my first game was actually the '03 Cup Final although I don't remember too much, my first game i properly remember was 3-2 win against Blackburn with Beattie scoring a late penalty I believe!

with that prediction im assuming you haven't actually seen us play this season or something?

That's a big F U to all his critics on here and whi gets on the Pre Match Thread

if we have absolutely no chance against Chelsea no matter what team we put out I may aswell sell my ticket, anything can happen this game and next game FFS COYR.

Just to make a lot of you feel REALLY old, have a birth year post from me!

I miss Rickie

I hate coming on here after we lose, we were ok, spurs were just better. Pelle got 0 service as our midfield was suffocated and I don't see any reason for debate over Forster, it's not like any of his spillages lead to goals. We lost after 6 straight wins, get a grip ffs. Runs all end at some point.

Well Gaston has travelled to Millwall...

Thing is when I watch him I can't actually work out what his actual position is? he's not forward thinking enough for a no. 10 spot, and not strong enough of much of a tackler to be a Defensive Mid ala VW or MS

Pelle winning more flicks and holding the ball up better today than at Anfield I feel

Really don't understand how you of all people always scream ABUSE!!! at the earliest given oppourtunity yet you resort to calling people tw*ts and then abusing one certain player constantly? ridiculous amounts of hypocrisy from you

Got mine yesterday, BBC which I was relatively pleased with as I got a place at my second choice, Bournemouth.

Christ you lot are hysterical, for all we know he could have been way down our targets. maybe it's just that we couldn't acquire Hernandez or Ings so he is next on the list, regarding the price couldn't that be to do with the fact every club in the land knows we are sat on mountains of cash at the moment meaning inflated prices, I'm relatively pleased as pace and hard work is something which be lack and I'm not expecting any top class players to be falling over themselves to sign for us in this 'transitional' period as it were. Good luck Shane!

Samaras obviously

Rojo????

Knew I could rely on you, thanks MLG
