Indeed central position, seems to have the freedom to do what he wants and IMHO it suits him. I guess him coming off is due to the lack of games and the fact he runs himself into the ground.

Currently watching the England u21's in Bosnia and Ward-Prowse is by far the best player on the pitch. If he keeps progressing then I see a full cap soon. We also have Taggart playing and Jack Stephens who has just been red carded for two fouls in 3 minutes.

What about posting a rumour that Koeman is close to signing a one year extension to his current one? Heard it could be announced this week (fingers crossed as the guy is brilliant for us)

Not a chance. For starters Streck won't be good enough for them while Forster will not leave here for a few years. Jack Butland is going to be the one most top teams will chase.

Football is a funny game as you never know what Saints team is going to turn up on the day. If Pelle does not get suspended and Mane starts to hit top form then I can't see us losing any of the 6 games coming up. Something about us these days as we are grinding the results. I predict 3 wins and 3 draws (12 from 18)

Our track record at stamford bridge was not too good either so I dont see why we can't win this one.

He was told to wear this yellow inflatable at training and he was not happy, Heard a photo is floating around on Twitter somewhere.

I remember looking at the bench last season and we had the likes of Yoshida, Gardos, Ward-Prowse, Elia, Gazzaniga, Reed, Targett vs Manchester City. Not the sort of bench where you could really change a result?

I can understand if Jose blows another fuse later. Why did the official carry on with an extra 38 seconds after the added time? The ball was in the middle of the pitch on 15 seconds of the added.

I still don't think we are as strong as last season, as we have not clicked as a team IMHO but the good thing is we are hard to beat these days. We should win this one comfortable now we have a good settled back four, if Pelle, Tadic and Mane have one of those days Bournemiuth will be ripped apart.

Remember bumping into Surman when we won the Johnson's trophy at Wembley. He was certainly a Saints fan that day and said he never wanted to leave the club but he had no choice.

Liverpool will have some tough European games while we can rest on towards this game. Win it and we have a 1 in 3 chance of reaching Wembley as we need to avoid Manchester City for the semi draw

nice one m8

The Saints programme is showing Sherwood as the current Villa manager, DOH

Has Forster saved one yet for us? You would think at 6 ft 5 and ugly as a bat he would certainly put anyone off.

What is the last penalty save other than tonight?

Got talking to someone about the best penalty saver at our club and it seems to him that Kelvin Davis has the best record. Anyone else agree or have I missed someone who could normally stop them hitting our own net.

We have not clicked as a team yet so I'm hoping we can improve on last year. My fears are come January Mane and Wanyama will do another paddy which will upset the morale of the club.

We seem to forget to play football in the 2nd half just like against Leicester. Kick, puff and rush.

Play the same team as you did against Chelski as that was no fluke. My fears are the Koemans will slot in Clasie and this is where it can go tits up, the guy is not ready just yet.

It's actually Jayrod.

They found a role for Jiadi as he was a popular member of the club and I expect the same will happen to Davis.

We have nobody in the England team that can whip a good ball in the box, maybe Woy see's an option for him?

Koeman has always honored a contract and it would be amazing if we got him to sign an extension. The newspapers reports will be Jayrod to so and so when he starts scoring.
