We play one match at a time and concentrate on our own results. Ignore the others, if we get enough points we'll win it.

The key may be Ron who has signed a three year contract and seems far too decent a guy not to honour it. You have to ask then why excellent players with Champions League experience would give away all that to come here, so they are unlikely to be lured away that easily all the time Ron remains here. If Champions League football becomes a reality at SMS then nobody, Ron, Toby, Morgan will likely want to leave. They will have nothing to prove, they play for their respective national teams regularly as well as week-in week-out for a top PL club. Money isn't everything and maybe isn't even the obstacle many believe it to be at Saints.

Until last year the OS was not a worthwhile source of information about our club because of the secrecy inherent in everything that the Cortese regime did and before that the Lowe regime treated fans with such absolute contempt that the OS was used only to promote and sell merchandise and services (top down). The latest news sections of this and other fan forums was about the only way we could find out anything at all about what was going on inside the club and even then a lot of the news was speculative at best. Never-the-less precisely because of the various blackouts at SMS the 'latest news' sections of fan websites provide a vital service. Nowadays in this new era of genuine openness and transparency at SFC, the OS is used extensively to convey every aspect of inside club information to fans almost down to the detail of what each of them had for supper last night. Maybe sometimes they have strayed into overload on occasion but what's to complain about there? You could argue that in this enlightened new relationship between club and fans, the latest news sections may be no longer needed.

That's a relief as I thought he would be only exceptionally good with a keen positional sense, an excellent understanding of the game and a refined craftsmanship in the midfield passing role.

Nothing like sitting on the fence as a way of earning a living. If the future is always a repeat of the past then why are we bothering to keep the human race going at all. If we lose the next four then OK but just suppose we win the next four... what will our pundit friends say then poor things?

Be fair, there will be plenty of interesting advert breaks to savour.

Wonderful, wonderful performance from Nat. Doesn't surprise me as he does it for us week in week out. Will he stay, will he go? Who knows but right now he plays for Saints and we should enjoy what he does for as long as he does it for us. ...which I hope will be for many years to come. Out with the chequebook Les and now get Bertrand into the England squad

Can't think why you would make that kind of association, doesn't make any sense at all, totally different players. Too naive to bass Long assessment on that 2-0 win the other day only. He's usually a winger.

Nobody. We are a happy club. No good players available in mid-season so no business to do.

Hang on a minute, didn't Pochettino's Spuds BEAT Koeman's Saints recently or did I imagine that and nobody on here rates Pochettino's Spuds.

It's easy to forget that 20 is still young age with people like Shaw and Ward-Prowse strutting their stuff with distinction on the Premier League stage. Whatever his personal weaknesses such as an apparent head down selfishness in the final third, much of that c an be eradicated by proper coaching. It is possible to mould people to the shape you want after all given the will on both sides and a bit of one-on-one tuition. He looked particularly exciting the other evening when the kids won 3-1 in one of the best matches I've seen this season. Nor do I understand this posters who immediately offer up Jay Rodrigues as a make-weight to create a space for Redmond. They are both hugely promising talents with lightning speed that will terrorise packed defence for years to come. There is nothing wrong either with being noted as an English club developing English players for future Saints and England.

If he has a contract and most employees do then the club can insist on him honouring his contract or seek compensation for the loss of his services or they could just pay him and as many have hoped, send him on 'gardening leave'. That may sound more actionable that it is in reality. If a footballer is sent on gardening leave it would be easy to monitor whether he breached the agreement or not but with an employee like Mitchell how would you know? How would you stop him phoning or e-mailing his new boss or watching football matches or analysing video footage? You can't so it is probabe that 'gardening leave' makes no sense in his case.

Sorry Morgan but you must play at Villa Park. A couple of Paracetamol should fix it.

He's young and English and with a season or two of Academy Polish could be a world star. Tadic needs competition.

The biggest problem for Nat was that that useless idiot Cahill constantly ignored him when he was in open space and instead passed the ball back squre to either Jagielka or Henderson. These cliquey b.astards really don't like having new young kids around do they.

but only by one-nil

More bullshine from the Wail. How much are Yobbos paying this prat?

Oh Duncan, where's your trousers?

There are no issues here at all. Quite sensibly Morgan will assess the situation nearer the time. Real problem is that interviewers almost to a man/ woman ask leading questions trapping footballers into talking about whatever subject the interviewer wants to make mischief from. Example: "Is it still your ambition to play for one of the BIG clubs in European competition in the future?" Saints very own interviewer is as guilty as anybody on with such questions Example: "Another good win today Ronald, how proud of you of your players for grinding out such a good result and of course another clean sheet?" Is that even a question? Is Ron then likely to say "No, they are a bunch of ******* for not sewing it before half-time."? Of course not he's trapped into a positive answer just like Morgan has been.

It's not so much the player as the culture and system in which they play. Lovren look d good in our system but is all over the place in Scouseland, Toby couldn't nail down a position at Athletico and sat most of the time on the bench and do you think Jose would be first pick at OT, EtS or SB?

Be careful! These agreements are probably not water-tight in a legal sense; if Manure or Mancy comes in for him with a £20m bid do you think Athletico will care about pre-agreements? ...and as we all know, it's not always up to the player where he ends up

Take nothing for granted and just enjoy the ride. When people ask, smile innocently and say only "yes, it is going rather well at the moment". You will be admired for being a well balanced supporter of the team of the moment.

What a pointless thread and of course we will sign both....

What game were you at? Clyne 6? What were you taking before the match?

Much more one sided than most have said in their interviews. 65% possession is not how I saw it, much higher. Fantastic performance from Nat Clyne, my MotM by a mile despite Shane's 2 goal wonder appearance. Great to watch and you just knew they'd do it as Leicester faded through fatigue. Leicester are not PL quality regrettably, the gap to the Championship is growing by the year and with the promoted clubs occupying the bottom three slots, maybe any club coming up that doesn't have high finical backing will have no hope of staying up. Maybe we and WHU are the last of the lucky ones.
