I wish people would stop comparing him to Sherringham. Why not compare him to James Beattie? He was also a decent midtable striker, who never relied on pace. Couldn't get a goal for love nor money by the time he was Lambert's age. Robbie Fowler, Grant Holt, Andy Cole, Van Nistelrooy?

Be interesting to see which Saints team appears. I can't imagine anyone who started last night will play more than 45 minutes. Hopefully we can give the likes of Stek, Jay Rod, Caulker and Juanmi a decent run out. I wouldn't risk Mané in this one. He looks razor sharp already and I'd hate for him to get a knock.

Apart from the known troll that is PP, who are you actually talking about?

Age takes its effect on everyone in the end, regardless of how slow they are to start with. I remember going to Carrow Road about 3 years ago and Grant Holt looked like he was running through treacle. We saw it several times when a big defender stuck tight to Lambert, he really struggled. The likes of Clint Hill and John O'Shea kept him quiet and they aren't exactly world class defenders.

I thought Yoshida was very good last night too. I guess it's the old story of mistakes by defenders and 'keepers being highlighted more than attacking players. Mané for example tried a simple knock and run in the second half but ended up knocking it out for a goal kick. You could latch on to that as evidence of him being a liability but in reality both players were excellent I thought. I even thought his distribution was generally very good. All this playing between the inexperience of Stek, Targett and Clasie.

Nope. Scored away to Palace, Villa and Ludogorets.

Liverpool thought he would be a great player to have as back up to Sturridge and Balotelli but he wasn't. He would probably get a decent round of applause the first time he came off the bench. After a couple of weeks of forgettable sub appearance the novelty would largely have worn off. As dreams go, this one is on par with my dream about washing my socks and forgetting to use fabric conditioner.

Did anyone else see a bat flying around the Northam towards the end of the game? He must have been tripping out on the noise in there.

It's not libellous at all. Alleging that he sold enriched uranium to the Syrian government would be libellous, not questioning his attitude as a footballer. Lambert has gone, we got the best years out of him and his form last season was as much him being past it as it was Liverpool not utilising him properly. Saints, Spurs and Liverpool are all well above his level now. If he moves on it will be to a team in the bottom half.

I'm going to put my money on him having a blinding season, only to get 'poached' by Liverpool in summer for £20m, kind of like Toby. He will then go on to be a hilarious flop at Anfield.

Shame. I'll just take a load of mushrooms and whizz instead.

Even Berty?

I thought he was Eminem.

He really isn't. alpine is dull, predictable and really quite sad. I don't consider endless drivel about how everything is terrible to be comedy gold.

Nope

Brick outhouse centre half. HCDAJFU Just trying to get back on topic.

This basically. I'm astonished how he still gets bites from posters who've been on here years ad really should know better. I don't feel sorry for him being 'bullied' in the slightest because it's exactly what he wants. He will post complete nonsense without any basis in evidence, probability or logic simply to get a reaction. All the following replies telling him how tedious, boring and negative he is are exactly what he wants. Arguing with him is like wrestling a pig in a sty. You may well be 'winning' but at the end of it all you're still wrestling a pig, you're both covered in sh*t and the pig loves every minute of it.

I think there was another club who used to be, "everyone's favourite second team." I can't remember who it was now.

Reminds me off this [video=youtube;xEtJP1V6T-U] I wish it hadn't.

Was that the spitting incident that never was, whilst he was taking a throw in? That was weird, almost as if the ref was hallucinating. Nobody else saw anything even on the replays.

Why not both?

Guys, I'm trying to book tickets in the Milton End but I can't find the option for it online. Please can someone help.

He just came in his pants reading that.
