As we have a break from football for at least a week, who do you think has been our best player so far? Last year was easy as Lallana was the stand out player all season. So far I will go with Fonte, rarely had a bad game and has been the main reason for us conceding less goals. In 2nd place it would be Mane followed by Victor. IMHO nobody else comes near?

The playing advantage rule should be given to us until we score. Problem is which month does the ref give up

I challenge you to name some from attacking midfield to strikers. Off the top of my head Rideout, Le Tiss, Horne, Shearer, Beattie, Wallace, Ormerod, Clarke, Case, Williams and Armstrong to name a few would hit a bloody good shot that would more than likely hit the target than sky it. Wanyama, Mane (except QPR) Pelle, Morgan, Tadic, Davis and Elia are skiers, always blast it over or wide time and time again.

So you pay someone £20k a week and they still can't shoot properly? Thats not right surely? I teach full time martial arts and I have one person who could not use her left leg at all. Three months later she is in the GB squad, if I can why can't they teach them how to kick a bloody football in the direction of a net?

I totally agree, can't believe how Forster is rooted to his goal line these days. He has no friggin idea when to come, it's bloody scary that someone has not helped him get over his goal rushing jips.

The youth academy players are collecting them.

Good news is they are practicing shooting at the training ground this afternoon. Bad news is I've seen about 30 balls lying on the side of the Marchwood bypass.

Teddy Sherringham is doing okay at West Ham despite having a dinosaur with him as manager.

But he knew how to strike a ball? In the last three games Mane and Pelle have put their foot through the ball and it's ended in rowZ every time. You telling me nobody can coach them to body position or at least keep it down? even Lovren keeps it lower than our strike force

Let's take away the Sunderland result, this leaves us as the 13th best goal scorers in the premiership. Koeman is a genius when it comes down to being a defensive coach, what harm in employing an attacking one? It's an art to strike and ball or to have an eye for goal. I can't see what harm it would be to employ the likes of Le Tiss or Shearer to take at least a couple of sessions a week? When was the last time we scored a free kick or even a pile driver from 25 yards?

I think we need to do some more jumping over each other at training, pretty sure that will help us score some goals.

He left Arsenal to join us in the first place as he saw that we open the pathway better than they do. Don't be surprised if he went back to them as I believe he is London bred.

im afraid you missed them as they have all gone.

That Portsmouth team is so far down, ouch. IMHO Swansea to swap with Norwich & Newcastle going down for me.

I've not said anything about a new signing recently other than the day Wanyama was being shown around the stadium he was with someone else. Others have mentioned it as well. Im not going to defend myself against cowards that hide behind computer screens throwing out insults. Little cowards, no balls.

Where have I ever said he was wondering around the carpark?

Or Lovren.

All this talk about a shirt being printed, since when was the last time we did that?

I too believe we could do with some good options to bring off the bench, however Mayuka, Chambers & Isgrove have proved we have that already within the squad. Big question is, can we reach the next level Cortese is aiming for with them?

I'm not sure the market has really moved fast enough for us to get our players in? Perhaps Bale to RM will finally help Leandre decide his future as he might still think he has a chance there? Rooney to Chelsea might release 2 Chelsea strikers to us? Fab to the Manks could give us that young striker on loan? Man city get a winger and we get Sinclair. Who knows? PS why does my account log off automatically on my iPhone every time I visit?

Very true a decent tattooist would advise you well over a silly tattoo. I once asked if I could get my fiancées initials on my cock, I was told no chance. Turned out I never had enough space.

Jake did add a strange comment like he was celebrating something a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it's been on the cards for a while we are rubber stamping it?
