This seems to be the case now - not a bad thing I guess, it's probably opened us up to players we may not have known about before. I think Moyes alluded to that in his interview actually? As long as we do actually get some of them in.

Well I didn't realise Jose Fonte's younger brother played for Espanyol!!

Another nail in the coffin for football and loyalty. If it happens, I can promise I won't set foot inside SMS again.

It'll be complete balls. If there has been a discussion, it's probably around a general coaching role - he's a defender isn't he? Or he might have been talked to regarding a player he knows for references or he could be coming in to coach a specific player etc etc etc. If there's ANY truth in it, that's my guess.

In all honesty, I think it would be a shame if he went back so soon as I don't think we've seen enough of him. However, we don't train him day in, day out and the fact we've hardly seen him must be telling us something ... he's not up to it. Certainly from what little I've seen, he's no where near as good in as many areas as Jay or Guly.

Whole team, brilliant. Everyone played their part - Morgan, Shaw, Cork and Puncheon stood out, but everyone else each played a crucial role - brilliant come back.

He was bloody amazing! Some of the tackles, interceptions, runs, passes - fantastic stuff!

I was probably on a similar train to you, that's what I saw as well.

What with David and his weird font stuff and you and your golf stories, you're a right pair. Actually would be pretty amusing to be in a pub with both of you!

This is a great idea in my opinion - a proper multi-purpose complex and something Southampton doesn't have!

I'd also like to add Blur @ Hull in about 1997. Was never a huge fan of them, but went along anyway and it turned out to be quick a good little show. Song 2, as you'd imagine was the highlight.

By a long long way ... Elbow. My god, I like some of their stuff, but I wanted to sleep during the show it was so dull - no "show", no audience interaction, nothing.

I think we've all had them. You're browsing a film in the video shop (in the 80s) or Blockbuster, or now online (Netflix, Lovefilm, Virgin Media etc.); there isn't much you fancy and you settle on something that sounds okay, not expecting much. I've just had one of those experiences with "Some guy who kills people". It was labelled as a horror with black humour, but it sounded intriguing and we gave it a go. Have to say, it wasn't a horror, but it was a very good film with a bit of black humour - really enjoyed it! Any other films like that? (Not well known, that you didn't expect much from, but were good)

Prodigy in Brighton in '92 were amazing. Oasis great in the past.

How do you know that?

American COMPANY, not country.

This is totally true. Working for an American country it never ceases to amaze me that they are always coming over and buying last minute Arsenal tickets to watch some Prmeeeer League Soccer [sic]. It's a losing battle when there is the demand there.

What about parking in the streets round (for example) Erdington and getting the train from there - that'd be okay I'd have thought, free parking, short train ride?

It's just about strength in depth isn't it though? Adam is still injured, we don't know how long for. Were Ramirez or Puncheon to also get injured, we're then down to De Ridder starting, probably. You have to move, you have to get better than what you have as well. If this guy is better than Adam, or Puncheon, then we move on and improve. Sentimentality has pretty much gone from football; results-driven business and all that guff - but we have to do the same as everyone else which is constantly improve.

Yeah, didn't you know? He's going to be reporting to Jason Dodd as his assistant U18 coach because he always looked up to Doddsy as a player.

Nice stats.

To be honest, I was watching him really closely on purpose - he wasn't horrific, but he was just a bit too flappy for my liking. I'm sure he'll still come good, but I wasn't impressed.

It's all about opinions, but just got home; thought Guly was anonymous today and Boruc pretty bad. No one really stood out for me apart from Morgan and J Rod who I thought both did well. Highlight of my day was getting off the train at Fleet with some gobby Chelsea fans who were probably late 20s and who got picked up in some sh*t old 4x4, by what appeared to be one of their mothers. Losers.

I can see him being loaned back to carry on getting experience this season.
