He needs games at a good level, champ or above. He is actually getting on and if he wants to take his career seriously he needs to play. Leeds is a mess yes, but games are games.

Agreed, from that line up I would take Lloris, and Mason and Kane in the future may improve and have potential,,,,, but none of the others would make our team atm. Making our lose to them look a shambles! RK OUT!

My memory is dreadful, what celebration was that? The one where he kinda hinted 'see, pick me'.?

Shame really, as I would of rather him miss the villa game rather than one of the tricky ones coming up, maybe rest him in the villa game, and then play him in the next. ??? I trust RK to make a better decision than me though!

The worst we we do against the Villa is a 0-0, they cant score for toffee.

And stop bikering boys, we are 2-0 up and 2nd in the league. Everyone knows 12 mil was a lot to pay, but football is an expensive game now a days and hopefully young Shane can rub off that 12 mil price tag and just start playing his game and chip in with important goals.

I have always been proud being a Saints fan (even in our relegation years), but now I just feel smug. Get 3 points against villa too and who cares how we do against the big boys, anything against them is just a bonus.

I dont want Chelsea to win so we can close the gap,,,, but i really dont want Liverpool to win!

Not weird, its like insurance, you put money on your house not burning down each year... if it burns down, you get a pay out, if it doesnt, then great. ( Peter Cook did it too apparently)..................................................... And it was ment to be an open question to others to ask about their rituals like a lot of football players/fans have. Not to be taken to literally.

Not one vote for Tadic on MOTM, must have had an off day,,,, but great in a way as shows our defence and midfielders etc can operate a solid performance when our creative players are a little off.

Every week I bet against Saints, just a couple of quid, so if we loose I will enough for a pint of two on Sat night, if we win, then Im happy. Its a win/win! I prefer it when Saints win though. But heres the thing, I started this about 5 years ago just as our rise to the prem and 2nd now began. This year I missed the putting bet on the Spurs game, and we lost.... coincidence... I think not. So now Im stuck having to bet against Saints every week. Is there anything that you guys to do ensure a Saints win... same socks, praying etc?

Id even take 7 or 8. Or even 5 points if they are two draws with city and ars and a win vs utd.

Big tests coming up as we all know, but who cares if we loose some of those, we are beating the samller teams like us. I have thought for years that it is possible to make to top 4 if you just beat the little teams and dont loose or get the odd annoying draw. But before we have the big teams dont we have villa and leicester coming up? Get 6 points in those and who cares about city, man u etc, they will be miles back by then! Chelsea look too good for everyone for the title, but no one is making a decent push for 2nd or 3rd except us! COYS!

P-P-P-P-P-Pellllalaaaaaeeeeaeeeee gets a yellow! AND A GOAL!

poor keeping? really? it was right in the corner.

But arnt their average points lower cause we beat them? Look, we all know the top 3 at the mo (Ars, City, Chelsea) , then there's the other big clubs (Tot, Man U, Everton, Liverpool) We have (in the league ) only played two out of that lot, but we have also played WHU who are doing well, Stoke who beat City, and we still have Leicester and Burley x2 games. Anything is possible and Im hoping for top 6. It would be great to knock a few of those clubs out the toop 4 or 6. Everton are ok with me, but the rest I would love to see fail even for WHU.

IMO a back up right back to give Clyney a rest and a back up keeper for cover incase of injury to Forster. Pelle back up would be nice, but not essential I feel.

JOKE! I cant stand own goals. Obviously is if the a player kicks it in then fine, but a striker kicking the ball at the gaol (on target or not) he forces the error. If a defender sticks out a leg to try to stop the shot should he be to blame just casue it deflects in? Crazy. ALSO .... the FA and FIFA etc use video evidence to award own goals and cr@p like that but dont use it to fine players for diving or assults. Football needs a good look at itself sometimes.

Even before AL and DL went to Liverpool I would have wanted them to loose. Cant stand that club/fans.

Was looking forward to your post about the 8-0 and then saw you and your daughter on the youtube video. Made up for you, what a great day. I met Rickie Lambert last year and reminds me of that. It is a great feeling to meet your heros.

He loves space, and it works beautifully for him. He makes so much space for himself, like when we counter attack he is not just bombing forward but will even drop back a bit to make sure he gets time on the ball, and he always seems to know two passes ahead and when he does pick up the ball he seems to have 2 or three options. Yup, he is ok.

LOVEILY. These videos are great ( well when we win). The dutch fans at the end must be the father and daughter that came over, and they got to meet Pelle in the changing rooms, great show by the club,,, prob means we have a couple more Saints fans across Europe now. Also noticed the video was edited to include Mannone (sp?) at half time and full time, and also had RK saying his favourite line 'this is football'.

Cheers Whitey, great. Hopefully they will check the boards again.

Sooooo, dont leave us waiting..... were 2 goals enough or were you annoyed by Pelle not getting a hattrick too?

Anyone know about the dutch fans that were on the boards a few times before the Sunderland game,,,, they were/are big fans of Pelle..... wondered what they thought of the game? What thread was that on... this one?
