The one that really annoys me is 'He sent the keeper the wrong way'.Goalkeepers make their own decisions based on information in front of them and then guess.If they waited for the ball to be kicked they'd save many more as they tend to move before the spot kick is taken and the kicker side foots the ball into the big space.

Charlie Austin is a Box man and until he is used there you need a reality check.The diamond formation is not his forte unless he is the 1 at the front. He was actually defending again last night and did quite well but he is NOT a defender.I despair sometimes at the knee jerkers who write players off after less than 20 minutes of play.How many times did Tadic give the ball away last night? Send him packing is your solution eh?

Didn't think it was a penalty but it was given.Diamonds are for geezers and we don't appear to have any.The w.a.n.k.fest has started and the after match commentary was nauseating but what do you expect. PS. Is Morgan available on loan? I'd have him back in a flash.

FWIW have you noticed how many 'defectors' suffer injuries after they leave us for the big money.Is it the Curse of Saint Marys? Mane,Shaw,Lallana,The Ox,Clyne the list goes on.VW is next!

Just for a change from our previous starts I'm going for a clear two goals win.Optimism prevails!

That 'ace' reporter in the Mirror Brian Reade (He's a Liverhampton fan who predicted we'd get relegated last season because of the 'best players' leaving) suggests,yet again, we'll struggle and go backwards.Klopps flopps however are capable of being league Champions.... as he reported last year!!!PMSL

So for all the defectors who left us for 'Greater things' (money) Jose and Cedric remain and are in the Euro Finals.Like others I hope they return with winners medals.Great performance from both of them tonight.What a reception they're going to get on their return to St Mary's.

Welcome aboard Claude.I'll wait and see what you do before I applaud.I just hope you bring us even more success.

I think I'll be a Sports Journalist.I don't have to know anything about football as all I have to do is make up stories with no substance whatsoever about any player I wish (I'll buy a Pannini book of stickers to find out who's who) and no doubt some idiot will believe it and say 'Haspers a reliable source' because he knows all the players names in the English Premier League.⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️'S

Giggs Manager? Has he Managed anyone yet? Les Reed et al must have considered this eh?

I take anything Darren Lewis writes with a huge pinch of salt.Speculative is not the word to describe him!

His head has been at WHL for a while now.We've cashed in on his discontent.He'll have a struggle for games but he should be OK.Can't say 'see you Vic' as he may not be chosen!

Strange that Long didn't feature much in RK's teams* until Pelle got injured.It's yet another piece of rumour-mongering on behalf of the Mirror hacks,RK,Darren Lewis,Paul O'Hehir (who?) among a number of Saints attackers.HYS on the BBC website yesterday was full of the usual c-rap. *Long...11 runs from the bench *Pelle... 3 runs from the bench. That's not to say Long didn't make an impact but it took a long time for him to become first choice. Source..Final Day match prog stats.

When you make a statement "I am not dishonourable" and then demonstrate that you are,Why give any accolades? Thanks for the memories (good and bad),we move on.

RIP Tony.

Jus' gimme da money an' I'm off.Mercenary son of a spinster(b.a.r.s.t.e.w.a.r.d). I hope he fails miserably.

Outstanding as usual Glen.Have a good holiday and lets look forward to another season of mild excitement.

Perhaps now Sky won't be so keen to show a Saints match with the main oppositions Logo on our shirts.This could mean we will get more 3pm kick offs to suit the fans rather than Rupert Murdochs bank account.

Now and again something you say returns with a vengeance and bites you in the a.r.s.e. Insincerity prevails with these mercenaries.Thanks for the past two seasons Ron but you really are a 51AR just like Toby's dad.

This.My thoughts exactly.

Has he signed yet? Thought not!

My question is "Has RK signed for Everton?" Until he does it appears the usual 'closed season' speculation.He appears to me to be a man of his word,so two fingers to the current speculative reports. PS. Not one word from the Club either.

I have no problem with posters putting things up mush it's just that we've heard this so many times before its getting a little tedious.

So?
