He's been a very decent signing so far. At times he can do poor things such as that shot/cross thing last night which made me laugh in all honesty. His pace on the flank adds another attacking option different to the others.

We missed him as an option today. We have great CDM but not so many CAM options.

Well until we lose someone else can start it. Hardest of the 3 for me. Massive game and to be 2nd v 3rd is a huge compliment to us. Would play Cork over Long. Not too sure the tactics worked so well today. 1-1 draw for me. Pelle and Toure.

I really am not worried about Spurs. They have a thin squad that is inferior to ours.

My sweet lord no! I could do a better job in my shed than them.

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/team/academy/ Come across this on the OS which is quite insightful. Anyone go to the games that can give an update?

Anyone able to enlighten me as to some of the youngsters are progressing? I see Targett scored on Monday for England under 20's and alongside Reed played the full 90. Josh Sims featured for the England under 18's. Callum Slattery is meant to be the next big thing. Anyone know much about him? I also see a Marcus Barnes has scored 10 goals in 11 games. Turns 19 in December. No nothing about him.

Happy birthday Matt, I am also called Matt (great name) and expect the same for my birthday on 11/12/14. Thanks.

So no new injuries to our lads save for Morgan which was a knock and Davis. Pleased for Fonte. Clean sheet against the likes of Messi, Aguero and Higuain to name a few.

Would be delighted if we sign Classie. A player who has brilliant creative passing vision playing in the centre. Would be an upgrade on Cork in all honesty. Quite a hefty one.

I bought a Craighoppers fleece and One That Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest on Saturday. May god have mercy on us all.

Also the fact that the Court of Appeal has thrown his appeal out makes you think he is scrapping the barrell just a bit. I would trust the Court of Appeal's judgement over any red top media reports.

Well that's good then. Having read a bit the bloke comes across as a total helmet. Sheff Utd not doing themselves any favours either.

Awaits Forster to attempt a hand stand save resulting in a goal and broken hand.

Didn't realise this time last year we had also only let in 5 goals.

Don't know the full ins and outs of the case but I would certainly be upset if he ends up scoring against us in the Quarters.

Who cares anyway. If we have the best GD then lets enjoy it.

43:01-44:00 Guan the swine got to 7-8 mins first. Curse you.

Forgetting that we've only conceded 5 goals this season.

Amazing!! Bloody working a night shift that night. May have to have explosive diarrhoea that particular evening.

All barring Arsenal away.

http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/12265-pre-match-thread/page-2 I see most of them are not confident. Would be nice to have revenge on the 3-2 of last year.

So four huge games coming up which will be pivotal (love that word) to the rest of the season. Villa away - 0-2 win City home - 2-2 draw Arsenal away 2-0 loss Utd home - 2-1 win 7 points out of 12 available which I would be very much happy with. Your predictions?

We also have 4 more wins than Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool (who I see as our main contenders for 4th forgetting City). So based on my predictions they all need to win 18 in 27 games left which is league winning form. So any draws or wins against them will be huge. The City, Arsenal and Utd run in is absolutely massive for us.

I see we won 15 games last season and this season we've already won 8 so barring a huge U-turn in form we are well on course to better last years points tally. At a guess (having looked at last years table) 22 wins and 5-6 draws (71-72 points) may get the 4th spot based on the form of teams this year. So out of 27 games left (12 against last years top 7, 7 of which are at home) we would need another 14 wins and a few draws. Kind of shows what a huge ask it is. Who knows though?
