Fitzhugh Fella

Not sure many on here laud him any more. Hero to zero in record time but there were plenty who thought he was the dogs ******** at the time

First thing a union rep is taught is how to read an A4 piece of paper upside down

Damn good post

I know where you are coming from here Bern but fans that go to matches or even watch on tv do often get the gist of whether a player is any good or not. Sure Koeman knows best but the proof of Elia's worth can be seen in the comparative low fee being asked for him

Buying 2 - 3m players with an eye on the Europa league is not imo the way forward. Not sure Elia is cut out for the Prem and that being the case no point in buying him

Did you? Apart from the brace he scored at Newcastle I saw absolutely nothing impressive about him. Would prefer Djuricic to be honest.

No he went to Banister Court School

I have spoken to my contact at Spurs, he said they are preparing a British record bid for Martin Chivers.

OMG that is so bad, it was like watching Crossroads - you want to turn it off but its awfulness is so captivating

She certainly struck me as someone who had caught the "Southampton bug" and I gather her son is keen too. That can't be a bad thing.

Be careful using Hiley's book - full of errors!!!!! Just for your info we have just agreed with the club to bring out (next year), the Matches of this Millenium and are at present drawing up a list.

Not heard from SO16 for 3 days now, should we be concerned?

Always a sad day for a young pro - I wish them well

I agree Ward-Prowse did ok after replacing Djuricic but the Serb has up until yesterday only had 2 starts and it was worth having another look at him I thought he looked quite good yesterday.

Djuricic inc yesterday only had 3 starts for us - hardly much of a chance. I think he has something and maybe worth a punt depending if we can beat Benfica down

Um maybe some rate him to be a better player?

It was cold Very disappointed in as much the Saints management didn't seem to have a clue tactically last night - we were pulled all over the place and yet no one changed anything. Sam Gallagher should have come inside, he was wasted on the wing, hardly got a decentball all night and Seager faded after a bright start. Reed was poor imo - he offers defensive destructive qualities but not much else. Thought McQueen did alright and Mugabi got in some good tackles but that was about it. Hesketh was like a puppy chasing a feather all night. He has promise but very undisciplined.

Worth watching, very clever

You obviously think getting beaten by City is a worth a "lol"? You post a lot of sense normally but sometimes you try to be too clever.

Glad you think it funny

I don't know how you develop Ward-Prowse into an attacking midfielder although teaching him how to shoot might be a start

"It is an absolute honour to be asked to manage the biggest and best club outside the Championship with a massive fan base and a glorious history, not to mention incredible tradition - but it is a shame about the crumpled tablecloth"

Sadly Gallagher picked up an injury Monday night, back and pelvis, so is unlikely to be fit for Saturday. A shame having just broken into the first team squad for the Leicester game.

welcome news and one I had written off reasoning he would have signed by now if he intended to. Well done the club.

Gallagher is injured, back and pelvis
