Pamplemousse

Lallana should play, he was a vital part of our two promotions and probably second only to Lambert in importance. Of course, what has happened since means that the club may not even invite him and if he does play he'll get a lot of abuse.

Why has anyone not mentioned Portsmouth, what with their superior history, their two league titles and FA Cup victories, of course they should be considered, they're definitely a big, sleeping giant, yes?

They can all sing together about how much they hate the number 1 South Coast team

If he retires at the end of this season then I would imagine so.

How about we start singing 'Play Up Southampton, Southampton Play Up'...?

Well done Turkish for getting a few bites

I think Poch would be more suited to Man Utd or even Arsenal, who have a better reputation for developing young players. Chelsea don't have the patience to wait a year or two, Abramovich is all about instant success.

Corporate Ho a.ka. Banker has a message for us over on POL! This is in reply to Northampton being in financial difficulty And in response, the Portsmyths start stirring... :mcinnes:

Lee Mason has been appointed the referee

Pochettino would be the perfect fit for Man Utd. Good football, development of young players, let's hope karma comes back to bite Spurs on the árse.

First red this season so he isn't suspended for our game.

I think actually he misses their FA Cup match on the weekend, he'll be available to play us.

From POL

Mertesacker sent off for Arsenal... He'll presumably be suspended just for their FA Cup match, or is the suspension more than one game?

But remember though, they relegated us and stopped us from winning the Championship. Oh how jealous we are.

Just checked POL... some are blaming the board for not showing enough ambition and want them to spend the money. There are those who are shouting them down though, to be fair.

If Clasie does have a knock then we have 10 days before the next game at Arsenal so plenty of time to recover.

Anyone know where Dalek has gone? Or can we say that his predictions have been 'exterminated' once and for good?

7 points off 3rd place now... looks like they'll have to settle for the lottery of the play-offs. Considering their budget and this is their third season down there, it's embarrassing for them. Lol.

Mané in an attacking sense has been very poor but defensively, in terms of closing down and tacklng, has been excellent.

Some quotes from a Man Utd forum

It's bad enough that the press constantly link players with moves away, without our own supporters doing it as well

Nothing has changed, it was always scheduled for being on the Tuesday at 7.45pm.

We're on TV the 1st of March against Bournemouth on BT Sport. Not on at all on Sky Sports. 1st March - Bournemouth (BT Sport) 7.45pm NOT ON TV: 5th March - Sunderland 3pm 12th March - Stoke 3pm 19th March - Liverpool 3pm
