Wanyama cost more and is far far worse....

Wanyama just first cut it I'm afraid. Any game which requiress good touch and passing under pressure and he is a liability that deep on the pitch.

We are going to win!

FFS people, we are going to win! Why don't you believe this?

Rainbow laces to be worn?

Uefa's 54 member associations have given their backing to moving the Qatar World Cup in 2022 to winter after agreeing it cannot take place in summer. "What has come out of this meeting is that the World Cup cannot be played in Qatar in the summer," said Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce. "Everyone was certainly in agreement about that." However, Boyce added that the dates of the competition are yet to be decided. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24160879

Bale and Le Tissier are at least on a par with him, and that is without even trying? Also that much praise for a man with his track record (especially with women, ba fights and hush hush court cases) needs some serious questioning... Or perhaps you agree and would like to let him sleep with your woman? Also where the hell is your passionate defense of our team??? You've spent the last 2 days banging on passionately about the rights of gay men and anti homophobia... but another team, with widespread injuries, missing players and who got spanked at sms last season, dismiss us as "no challenge" and you think that is "about right".... Seriously support the team! Or do they need to wear rainbow laces to get you interested?

Just found this out on another pool forum - if true, this is the best time to play them for sure. P Coutinho Shoulder Injury no return date D Agger Rib Injury no return date G Johnson High Ankle Sprain 19th Oct 13 A Cissokho Ankle/Foot Injury 19th Oct 13 S Coates ACL Knee Injury May 14

Found some beauties on the Liverpool pre-match forums:- "Best player I've ever seen playing for Liverpool, at one point he could have played for any side in the world. I've never seen one man carry a club as much as he has for the past 10-12 years. It's a disgrace that the club never gave him enough support to win the league. He's probably the best player to play the game that's never won the league mad" - about Stevie G "He's just my hero tbh. Would actually gladly let the guy fck my woman. My favorite player that ever has been and ever will be." - About Stevie G "Went for 3-0, would have gone for 4-0 but it wasn't an option. think we'll finally have a good game, and Rodgers will get them putting in a decent 2nd half this time" Suffice to say that not one of them has us down for a win, and only one credits us to score in a 1-1 draw (also the ONLY prediction that doesn't have us winning). Note I have also corrected several spelling errors and translated to provide a comfortable read for you all - couldn't be bothered with them all no. On the back of this, and my general dislike of liverpool fans that have never been to a home game (let alone seen them play) I will go for 2-0 saints, with Lambert to get his 199 and 200th (league?) goals for saints. Another joyous piece of good news, cunhtino is injured, and of course no suarez, they look mighty toothless to me unless we gift them a goal)... yet they are predicting 4-0 and 3-0 wins. LOL.

You are the 3rd person to say that on this thread... great minds think alike! Lets hope we can include Poch in that bracket!

For example, the recent FA campaign against spurs fans to stop them racially abusing themselves by chanting "Yiddos"or "Yid Army" etc? Please dude get a grip. I have been going to football matches for 20 years and I have never heard a homophobic chant, in fact I have never seen homophobia in any walk of life, be it at Uni, down a pub, with friends and certainly not at work.... you are making a massive issue out of very little, ****ing off a lot of people in the process, and essentially implying that people aren't capable of defending themselves... People don't need to have their hand held to come out, and it is no societies place to tell someone that it is okay to come out... its a non issue, and the sooner people grasp that the sooner we can all move on with life... I am far more concerned about the level and intensity of swearing that occurs at football grounds around children than I am over something that doesn't frigging happen.

Holy Clyne fonts lovren shaw Cork Morgan Lallana Lambert Ramirez Osvaldo Must win game for me, sit next to a Liverpool fan at work... Before you ask, he's never been to anfield :-)

Well that's clearly BS, because the bed wetters would have had us believe that we would never return to the premier, then never return to the championship, then never survive administration. The only ones who are set in stone are the bedwetters - the ascent to the premier pretty much proves this... every year the same posters moan about the tactics, or the team, or the results like we are getting relegated, regardless of the fact that we went to Wembley and won 2 promotions. They will never change.... in contrast, for the past 4 years the happy clappers have a much higher accuracy in what they have been saying.... ergo, saing that the bedwetters/realists (rofl call ourselves what you will) will always win is ridiculous. They are wrong 99 times out of a hundred, possess an abnormal and annoying stamina to keep going, and will eventually get one right. Meanwhile they **** off 90% of the fanbase. I'll take a happy clapper anyday, at least they can revise their expectations downwards once in a while.

I don't think the club need to jump on this particular band wagon, I'm actually quite comfortable that we are not.

Still no goals from open play (am I allowed to voice that as a concern yet), 2 goals all season.. and the best team we've played is Norwich. Plus 20m spenton mmidfield an attack with Wanyama looking worse than cork by the game. Still. Today was always going to be ugly. Coulve easily lost against another team we can't break down. We have more points than we had from these fixtures last season. Just. And the true market will be anfield

Luke Shaw is on 25k a week as far as I know. The person who said 9k above... Lol Wtf. No chance he would stay here for that.

Are you not concerned that we don't seem to create or convert many chances? In 3 matches it has taken a penalty and poor defending in the dying minutes? That wont happen every week... We will at best get 10-15ish god a season from those means. Meanwhile the players don't seem to know where the target is!!! This needs to change, and soon, or we will find ourselves in trouble. Plus 1-0 wins are **** to watch :'(

Lambert has never stood in front of a united centre back twice his side at old trafford. Paused with the ball at his feet, locked in a close quarters, eye to eye mind battle, before poking it through his legs and smashing the ball into the net, all to the anguished amazement of old trafford. That said you have to love lambert for his passion and the fact that he has almost single handily dragged us through 3 divisions.

Sorry Barry, from someone who is young went to uni in soton and who has lived all around the south coast i would have to disagree with you. I have many friends who have settled in the area because of the forest and proximity to the coast whilst still being easy to get into London from. When I was working in Southampton, every single person loved the area and those that were there all said how lovely it was and would never move back (biased possibly)... But since then I have had to move away to Bristol and I have been back in the forest several weekends this year whilst every person I speak to who knows the area says how lovely it is and how lucky I am to get back there or to have lived there. And that isn't just in Bristol, that is from all over the country. You may slam it, but the new forest and surrounding areas are bloody stunning and I for one will be getting back there when the opportunity presents itself. For now, Bristol is a great place, more festivals (it is twice the size) but the scenery is nowhere near as nice. The only benifit of being this far west is that you can still get to London in 2 hours, but you can also get to North West Devon in 2 hours aswell, and Wales mixed blessing! How on earth you can slam the south coast, forest and surrounding areas is beyond me. And also, the comment you were responding to was about the forest and area, not Southampton as a city, which in truth does need a tad more culture. However argue point for point and explain why the new forest is nothing special. As for being bad for young people... Its frigging rural area not a town center... name me a hustle and bustle part of the countryside.. FFS.

West ham have got an appalling uptake, they were commenting on how embarrassing it was on their forum... saying, that because its sunday, 4pm and sky, they have more going to hull away...

Just checked out the west ham forum (checking out what their likely starting 11 will be on sunday - some have got down RVT as starting in lambert's position, but that is an aside). They also have a nice section on England Ukraine - I don't think there is one bad comment about lambert there, 2 people are discussing how, for england, Lambert > Rooney, and only one guy thinks carrol should be in the england squad by default. http://www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=149323&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=40

Article on Osvaldo on sky sports: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8913460/southampton-forward-daniel-osvaldo-says-roma-wanted-him-to-leave Shows that we don have one advantage in the new forest at least - quiet. I have always thought that it should work in our favour... for a lot of people, they work in London so they can retire to nice areas - if you can afford it you may as well live somewhere nice in the first place!

I'd be quite up for us signing "you're just a **** Rickie Lambert" at Rooney.

He can actually. He was also asked it directly in an interview over the summer (I think it was saintsplayer) and he basically said that he would be flattered if the call up came, but that he wants to play for france one day.

Tha article is a crock of **** and was written by someone with a GCSE grasp of english. He uses the word "clearly" three times in the space of two lines, gives him a 50% rating for heading in the top figure and then gives him 8/10 for it at the bottom. Total dross, can't believe that somthing that bad came out of sky.... But because it is positive about saints, lets just lap it up shall we? Do we really need someone who knows less than us about chambers telling us how good he is, whilst contradicting himself in the process? Or can we form your own opinion about it? Apparently we have to quote the reporter word for word like parrots :/
