Peter Shilton for Leicester against Saints

I do not know if Lallana is still carrying an injury or not. Lke many in the team he seems to have suffered a drop in form. BJBSAINTS - Harding only had 2 assists last season as a regular and only 1 the previous season! Fox has already got 5 in half a season.

Did he have some command of the English Language????

One question - does he have a command of the English Language? If not he will take even more time than usual to settle in a new side let alone a new country

Could be, also sighted at Craven Cottage!

Seen at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's ground!

OK, perhaps I was a bit harsh on your position regarding Lallana overall.

I accept that. He is an honest hard working lad from a good family. I suppose he is just as puzzled as the rest of us. I have no doubt he will come back stronger. A goal against Brighton will do him the world of good. I would not be happy seeing him dropped to the bench. He has too much to offer. I really would like to know who you are!

Just ignore. Don't waste your 3 posts a day on him. Windows has never had much nice to say about Lallana. However Adam has not played to his usual standard in the last few games which is puzzling!

Leeds just outside playoffs losing 1-0 to Barnsley Portsmouth holding Leicester 1-1 at half time Palcce go 1-0 up at Millwall putting them 7th

Derby 2 West Ham 0 after 10 minutes

It would be unfair to say we were poor. Bristol City worked us out, controlled the midfield by packing it, got their body in front of everything. They out thought us, out fought us and deserved what they got. Lallana was very poor. Worst game for seasons! I have been a supporter of Guly but he was so poor I would give him -1 Lambert did the best he could but was up against a very poor referee. Bloody hell was he one sided. Best defender BC had!!! Well done to De Ridder.

Not sure they could have made it any clearer other than indicating the allocation was 150 rather than small allocation expected to sell quickly! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2555850,00.html

Guly does have his weaknesses, and many of them, but his goals and assists put him as one of the top strikers in the division. If his allround game was as good as his scoring/assist he would be playing for one of the top 5 and regularly featuring for Brazil. I would have him in my side every week. Something Adkins seems to agree with. Agree with Derry's comments above as well. Hoiveldt was majestic and as ever read the game very well. Schneiderlin had one of his best games and if he can continue in that mode week after week we will all be purring rather than frustrated criticism. Lallana has definately lost a bit in the last few weeks but he has class and his form will return. De Ridder gave us something different, the pace we lack when Chaplow is missing. Think he was trying too hard at times. Lambert held the line well and although he did not score following a great save in the first half his reputation went before him. An important cogg in todays win Palace looked a decent side lacking that final penetration but credit to our whole defence.

Cheers Rob. Wonder where that photo is now!!

Hi Si, will get in touch in the new year and work out a game when we can meet up. Might even be able to drag Ziggy off her sofa or the posh area. Happy Christmas Si and Kate and all the others who we used to get together with or exchange views

Ziggy, the question has to be....did you celebrate in the portsmouth home end when Saints scored! Enjoy your day tomorrow. Hope to meet up soon.

The "investigation" is the same that was carried out against us when our parent company went into Administration. Glad to see FL consistency.

January will see us trying to get a striker and a wide right player. Cannot see us adding any more than that. January is not the best time to inflate the squad. No word on who they might be but I understand Adkins has his targets.

The decision was made in a full council meeting. It is subject to, among other things, that Rosebowl plc can show they will be able to afford the rents and that they will have a long term viable business model.

Second highest scorer in the squad. Second highest assists in the squad. He does not deserve this heavy criticism. He is in the team on merit. Most of the division would be happy to have him in the team. What a fickle lot many of you are.

Who was supposed to be marking Ward? He let him have a free header. Guly came off the line and dipped out when he realised the only thing he was going to do was give away a penalty Guly has never been good at winning defensive or midfield headers. It is a weakness in his game. This must have been recognised because despite his 6' plus hight he was not used other that to defend the goal line. His mistake was he came for a ball he would likely have cleared off the line from Wards header. Not sure Guly can be blamed alone for us dropping 2 points. It was a number of defensive players who all contributed, including Guly but not exclusively Guly. Easy to blame one person for disappointments just like many did last week!

Not the French Government but the Govenor of the Bank of France. And when you look at his quoted words surely it is fair comment!

It was pretty full for the statement at 3:30pm I would say PM had an easy ride from all sides.

It looks to me as if Cameron, having made enough noises before the meeting about his protection of the London financial market, may have been out manoeuvred by an indignant French leader supported by the Germans. It will be interesting to hear Camerons explanation to the house why the veto has protected the city and the UK and the consequences and damage had he not used his veto at that time. It looks a poor decision according to many but it may not matter. If the euro continues on it's path of break up, and many still thing it will, we will have a new issue requiring new actions.
