I was going to bury a Saints shirt under the new Pompey stadium but I will be long gone, by 70 years+

Was he the one with Freo on his shirt? :/

Very true. Davis 2006 Morgan 2008 If he did get to 2017 perhaps he might be the longest serving foreigner? Waiting to be corrected again:D

Oh dear tw.at alert Have West Ham won the premiership yet?

It's come up again but it's so full of holes this report, read on and decide for yourself. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2284192/Chelsea-set-land-10m-Southampton-teenager-Luke-Shaw-replace-Ashley-Cole.html

The longest serving saints player to date but you don't put him in the Mr Southampton bracket as Matt Le Tissier, wonder why?

I read somewhere that he gets a tattoo everytime he plays **** so it reminds him to up his game. That explains it all I suppose?

Thank goodness someone else noticed that.

Stop looking down guys and lets try get in the top half

So let's get this right, Newcastle have to fly back on Friday from Ukraine and will have one day to prepare for our game on Sunday?With our high temp football will they hold us for 90 minutes, doubt it so we should win this one?

Totally agree, it will be on our terms if he is sold. I would be upset if he did go but If they would bring in someone with real quality then I would be delighted.

Sorry I forgot about Kelv.

It nice to have that problem but I'm afraid Jose & Forren are not match fit so they need to wait. Shaw straight in for Fox while I would put Lallana & Gaston on the bench. It would be nice to have a decent bench for once. Lallana, Mayuka, Forren, Fox, Gaston, Gazza & Fonte.

Hate to say this but we need a striker who is bloody deadly in and around the 18 yard box & can out sprint any defender. If he is going to cost 20 million then so be it. Just need covering LB & RB's with any loose change. IMHO we don't need that attacking midfielder he may of tried to buy for 15m as Davis, Gaston, JayRod & Lallana could fill it.

A question for you, if the other team played a high pressure game like us then would it stop us playing our usual game? What sort of game would it become for the spectators?

He has a good cross field ball but he can't defend as good as Shaw and he certainly does not bomb down the flank like him. A good squad player at best.

No way will they put Fox ahead of Shaw because Fox does not bomb forward enough & defend as good. I also don't care what formation the toons start with as they will never match ours when the game gets going, our formation can go from 2-3-5 to 8-1-1 in a flash.

Does he have a plan B as it would be interesting to see it? I get the impression that he wants pressure football from start to finish but he will need to get the guys fitter to do that. Can another team find its weakness as I do recall Barca, Real & Manchester Utd struggled against it? I have a great feeling about today and the performance will get so many people talking.

That is correct!!

At last someone sensible. Cork RB Clyne LB With Davis taking Corks role like he did against Wigan. You NEVER put a untried LB (taggart) on the pitch vs City.

They are the earlobes of Gaston.

So we have a group of players staying up till midnight eating horse meat and drinking ginger beer, blimey we are doomed.

That's the problem as we dont have the fitness yet for 90 mins. We also lack some quality on the bench unless MP gets something extra with Chaplow & Ward-Prowse.

Danny Fox keeping them onside again
