Collymore just said on his radio show that if cleverly is getting into the squad then Lallana should be an absolute shoe-in to start in the next round of games

well, truth will be in the next squads, if AT THE VERY LEAST another saints player (with lambert) is not included, may as well give up we have half a team that are english, playing some brilliant football. going to OT and anfield and being the better players.....if smalling gets in ahead of clyne then you know its all about who they play for.

Just watched the highlights and there was a period in the game (2nd half) where we were passing the ball around with ease and MP was instructing the 2 full backs to remain the furthest forward with JWP and Morgan dropping back to fill in. fulham had no idea what to do MP is (as merrington calls) DC

have a word.ffs

QPR home was alright. battered them really. they scored with 2 of their only 3 shots then again, it was a good stick to whack MP with at the time for you

its everything they want the national team to play like. vibrant, mixes up the play. young players, chasing down the ball in packs, so solid at the back etc then you read that allardyce still wants to be considered for the next national manager appointment...jesus christ

the same 4 fixtures last season (so far)....replacing QPR with palace we had won 0 with 4 draws. not too sure on goals scored/against

Now the wind is picking up here on the Devon /Cornwall border

I thought it was Stuey, after your bezzie mate

not too bad down in the south west. gusty and rainy at the mo expected to hit in an hour or so. we shall see

another howler from the best keeper in the world it seems to be the default view that he is miles better than anyone else that is english in his position. not so sure now. cant keep making massive mistakes and keep the tag

Amazed you are not slating their mega expensive signings for not scoring loads. Seem to have got a lot of penalties Lamela done little

So much for the boycott

told by whom?

that is exactly what we were last night

true VMAN one poster said he did not want such a mercenary in the team ffs

sunderland. 4 points after 9 games bound to stay up now

MP has lost 6 of his 27 in charge.

a good point someone made on call collymore yesterday. we wont finish top 4 but we are going to have a huge say in who does. once we get the away games at arsenal and chelsea out of the way we will have them both with liverpool and united to play at St Marys you have to fancy getting 6 points at least from those 12 on offer

Sunderland 1-0 at home to newcastle after 5 mins

my favourite comment

what does he do differently than lallana?

for some reason, in England, we get so hung up on who is skipper just look at the over blown guff about who is england captain

its as about as risk free as you are going to get. not one game will he we have it as comfortable this season. gaston is supposed to be an international for a top national team etc etc

Saints v Everton is going to be a cracker with the form of both teams. when ever that is
