Our Claus

If I had to have someone take a penalty, life or death, it would be Le Tiss without a second thought. But in terms of technique, I rated Beattie better. It's not about the number he took, it's the way he took them. Total belief.

No.

Best goal I've ever seen that wasn't scored by Le Tiss. Pahars v Derby at The Dell, an absolute beauty.

Good thread! Your best of the season Saints player? Morgan, without question. Best individual performance from any player Saints/Opposition? Schneiderlin and Cork against City Best match performance from Saints? Liverpool, particularly the first half Highest point of excitement? Taking the lead away at City Best Saints goal scored? Can't remember enough of them. I enjoyed Morgan's away at Wigan. Lowest point that you thought it was all doom and gloom? West Ham away Best goal conceded? That one at Stoke Best Song/comment heard on the terraces? Oh When The Saints. Always. Worse pundit you have come across since our arrival back in the big time? Lawrenson. Obviously.

Thought you deserved more credit for this. Made me laugh. What an odd thread.

Playing Ramirez out wide is such a waste - we looked a completely different team when he moved into the middle late on. Steven Davis worked hard, but was asked to play a role that just isn't his. The team in general - and the midfield in particular - look so flat without Lallana. Today and Sunderland have highlighted what a massive job he does for us. It's not just his ability, but he sets the tempo for the whole team, brings so much energy. We are missing him badly. Special mentions today for Morgan Schneiderlin, who bossed the midfield in the second half, and Luke Shaw yet again.

"Desperate" is mine.

Puncheon is Fabrice Fernandes but with less end product.

There is nothing wrong with the club (any club) not responding to a newspaper's story. With this particular article, there is nothing to gain from the club issuing a response - they say it's untrue and the paper goes with 'the dreaded vote of confidence' line, they say we don't comment, and the paper runs the 'wall of silence'. However, the attitude of the club in simply refusing to reply to any story from the Echo is petty, and it's pretty short-sighted. Regardless of how a newspaper covers a club, refusing to deal with them is not a sustainable policy, and it does the club no favours with the fan base (so much as they pay attention) in how they view the way the club is being run. And by posting the comments they did on twitter, the club turned a non-story into a story. Not good PR.

I've seen some ridiculous things posted on message boards, but this is one of the most offensive and downright stupid things I have ever read on here. It has nothing to do with them being Liverpool fans. It has nothing to do with them being from Liverpool. It has everything to do with them being human beings who died because of the incompetence of the authorities, and who subsequently found themselves being blamed and stigmatised in order to cover up what really happened.

With stripes you could also say "it looks like Southampton". No danger of that with this year's kit.

Hate it. Even worse in person than I thought it would be from the photos. Plus it looks like quite a 'cheap' shirt quality-wise as well. Certainly not as good as last season's or the sash shirt.

This times a thousand. The whole site is bad enough, but this is the most ridiculous bit of web design I have ever seen.

Same here - I can't get a ticket for my account, but can for linked accounts, even those that didn't go to City...
