How is that going to work with Champions League, Europa League and League Cup matches being played in the same week ? friday nights would be Hull v WBA type matches. Having said that it is better than Monday night.

Anyone who went to The Saints evening at The Mayflower two or three years ago - the one Cortese banned Dodd and any current SFC player from, allegedly - will know just how much Shearer still loves Southampton and how close he and Matt are.

That is correct, and if he has said that then his days really are numbered, one does not criticise Stevie G at the club and expect to get away with it cos its Stevie's club like

Anyone going off for Mayuka doesnt make sense !! But we are down to the bare bones as 'Arry would say

Do the two sentences really begin together and refer to the same thing, ie, our players ? that second sentence taken on its own could refer to knowing players all over the world etc Journalistic mischief making or the real meaning lost in translation perhaps ?

About bloody time, hope he wants to sign it after all this time. He will be missed for the time he is out for certain.

Bloody hell, you do remember how many players we had to sign just to replace the deserters, the end of contracts and the plain bloody useless don't you ? its a miracle we have as good as we have, you simply cannot do all you need to do in one window, even the big clubs know that. The decent cover/squad players will come in January I'm sure.

My sentiments exactly, so grateful he ****ed off after 22 games !

Lallana off after 70 mins this time, the big Jessie

Pleased for Rickie and that's as far as it goes. Come on Punchy and Palace !

I saw the irony of Alex being the one to nobble him but not sure if that was the injury he went off with eventually.

absolutely, he has been incredible the past month or so.

i think we will see him again but I really can't see it being this season. Many players when returning from a long, long layoff such as this get little muscle injuries when they are close to playing again. If RK is now talking about February it only needs one more set back and that's as good as the season over, he's going to need a fair few reserve matches or behind closed door friendlies to get anywhere near Premiership fit. I don't think he will play in the first team until pre season.......now wether that pre season is with us remains to be seen !

The National Press like the top 6 to be the big guns - Chelsea, United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs - always have done, sells more papers etc. You watch what happens as soon as we start losing a few. I agree, it is pathetic but, in the words of our manager "that's football"

Unbelievable, can't these bloody pundits do a little bit of research ffs.

Guaranteed starter for England then !!

Toby for me but obviously both please

It's beyond belief.

What was going on with Koeman having a blanket on his lap all afternoon then........at least that's what it looked like from The Kingsland

funny you should say that, I was a kid back when that was the case and through the bad times I always used to wish I had been older in the early eighties to appreciate it better. Well now I can really appreciate what's going on cos this run has been one of my highlights as a Saints fan for over 35 years !

City haven't been brilliant away from home for over a season, Arsenal, well you never know which one you are gonna face , they are like a split personality, and Man Utd ? Hardly strike fear anymore do they ?

Better than I could have hoped, well done QPR

So would I. I expect their great managers like Shankly and Paisley are spinning in their graves at that team selection. disgraceful, resting players in a Champions League match ? I cannot believe Liverpool fans are happy about this at all.

we want them to stay as many points as possible behind us. Chelsea and City will finish 1st and 2nd, we can aim for third though

Jamie Carragher said on Monday Night Football that we have no chance of finishing top 6 cos United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton will all come good. Thats good enough for me, Jamie knows best
