Olallana

I know what you can expect now....

Are the international breaks making you a bit bored perhaps Charlie??

Interesting link comparing games played this year to last year in corresponding fixtures. Interesting also to see while Arsenal are getting praised this year after 7 games and 16 points is that they won all 7 of those games last year... http://www.soccersouls.com/2013/10/southampton-top-the-table-while-manchester-united-chelsea-are-at-the-bottom-corresponding-fixtures-table/?

Maybe we could loan Kagawa instead...

Not for me. Rather a cheap punt for Piatti if we want a winger...

Mike Jones, one of the weakest refs in the league imo......but we won our only game with him last year at Reading. At least it´s not Webb and our record with him...

If any club should be mentioned for great business while having success it´s Porto.

Not on topic but maybe close enough.... When was the last time a Saints player were involved in the Euro or World Cup? Does it go back to 2004 with Anders Svensson? And does that matter for your interest in those tournaments?

As non-english I´m disqualified but if England lose to Poland they still have a second chance, dont they?

Would be interesting how our team would be set up if Rickie got a niggle that kept him out 1-2 games....

I think this writing hits the nail... http://thepremierleagueowl.com/raheem-sterling-his-england-call-up-and-the-benefits-of-not-being-a-southampton-player/

Imo Lambert hasn´t justified a place in the national team on THIS seasons form. The ridicolous thing was that he never got picked last season, not if he´s not picked this time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tmSXIO1K1I some other camera angles and shows the pass leading to the goal.

No, but I hear he´s giving private lessons in "show respect on internet forums and stay on OP´s topic when posting in a thread".. But we all know here that it takes more than a few lessons for you to learn that.

As I dont know, help me out... What has Saints/Cortese done against the Mirror? Somehow they are able to find the negative angle on interviews lately... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/football-managers-importance-played-down-2359093?

That writer, Sam Tighe, is one of the best for people who likes to read reports about the tactical aspects of football. I try to read most things he write.

Does it....ok, no weird logic there..... But if Fox do contribute to Brazil winning the World Cup I guess it does mean that...

Exactly the same.... You dont see any difference if a player contributes to a team positioned in 4th place to someone in a team that is in relegation place in the table?

OP had his opinion and some questions......how are either wrong?

Did we pay another £12m for Ramirez this year?! FFS Cortese out!!

And I know a certain someone that was talking about Arnautovic.... I´m a bit surprised that noone has recognised the two runs Osvaldo did sunday to open the space up for Lallana through the middle. Unfortunately first pass from Lambert were a yard too much forward for Lallana and the other one hit the defender between them. Both times Osvaldo open up the middle with a run towards the left and their CB followed him.... Osvaldos movement often open up space for other players so he is far more than just a goalscorer.....and to compare him to Rhodes..... yeah, are we comparing Lambert with Carroll now.....oh I just remembered some people does....

Since people like to compare.

If a goalkeepers only weakness is his distribution with his feets.....well then I see no problem... The key is he can be used in tight situations and can get the ball away with both feets, that´s actually not that common amongst goalkeepers.

I thought he was still written off by some
