Are you there to come out with that definitive statement? Against Wigan, we looked better with the 4-3-3 than with the 4-4-2.......if we can get Ramirez and a CB we should be just fine.

You have always been a ray of sunshine over the years Saint Richmond......you only ever seem to surface when there is a chance to complain about something. Great if this deal happens, but if it does not the sky won't fall in and I'm sure Saints have other irons in the fire. Have you forgotten where we were 2 years ago? Or how we played last Sunday against Man City?

don't forget....... Matt Jarvis - 12m Carroll - 35m

sfc1971 - thanks for the snippet. Hopefully it is correct......and hypo could start an argument with himself in a closet. Ignore him.......I think most others do. What a signing this would be.......almost as exciting as when Keegan signed, but perhaps even more so as this sort of signing doesn't really happen in this day and age as Man C, Liverpool, Man U, etc. will typically take stars like this. Real statement of intent should it happen and will hopefully show the likes of Shaw that they can achieve things at So'ton and don't need to go elsewhere.

So proud of Saints........if we play like that all season and with a couple of additions we should be looking at a top 10 finish. Fox is a worry at LB (does not look Prem quality) but if we can get Ramirez, Phillips and a CB we will be looking really good. Clyne looks a steal and Adam was pulling all the strings. On Fox Soccer in the US, that plank Warren barton and co were talking about City can't play like that, they won't win the title, etc, etc and then Eric Wynalda butted in and said they were not giving Saints anywhere near enough credit. Good for you Eric.

Overall...very impressed with Saints so far. Davis kicking is dodgy and should not have been beaten at near post (despite Tevez being offside), Puncheon has been non-existent. Ward-Prowse, Lallana, Clyne all look very good. Saints are going to have to learn quick that you cannot give the ball away cheaply at this level (as they have done far too often this half).

They really are deluded...so the trialists will take a non-contract deal or month to month contract. And what happens if they get injured? Why would anyone take that risk (unless they cannot find another club)

They now have McGoldrick, Blackstock, Gillett and Harding in their squad. nearly half their team are ex-Saints!

Love this from the BBC.... BBC journalist Matt Roberts is no fan of what's on offer: At least Mo Farah can get 10K away from there in 27 and a half minutes This lot were not talented first time round and now is even worse...scragg end. World will be laughing at us after this s***e

If this was a celebration of Brit music, why the hell have they not got New Order, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Blur (in person). Shocking, truly shocking. Last night of the Proms would have been better than this S***e.

Good grief......after 2 weeks of absolute brilliance, this is what is has come to? Virtually no acts live, completely baffling and feels like a Saturday night at Butlins. Whoever has put on this "show" should be shot.....

You been smoking crack pal?

My understanding is that the rules were changed for the Olympics, making headshots more important. Supposedly, although I know nothing about this sport, talking heads have said Cooke would have scored less and been scored against more because of his lack of height. We'll never know but well done to the GB guy - bronze is great and GB mens first medal in the sport.

Varney may have gone for 300K......but the Skates won't see a penny. They still owe Derby 300K from when they signed him so the money will go from Leeds direct to Derby. Interested to see if Varney had a compromise agreement with the Skates

really looks like this is the end for them..........ST, tickets....everything has gone. Not a positive sign.

I've been living in Northern Virginia for 2 years with the family. We love it - the opprotunities for the kids are amazing and some of the vacations we have had have been amazing (Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Zion, New York, Carolinas). Opportunity is definitely here and a great place to live - so long as you have a job and enough money for healthcare. As others have said, get into US sports and you will be laughing. Despite what Apline says, where we live in Virginia there is a great sense of community - far more than we enoucntered in the UK. Would seriously recommend anyone who gets the chance - go for it. If it doesn't work out you can always move back to the UK.

the troll is back..........so bitter and twisted because he';s shown to be full of s***e. But you're right, 2 promotions back to back is terrible - I think Adkins should be sacked for being so rubbish.

fair play 76er.......its a long old season and Philly could still go on a run (unlikely) but there is a changing of the guard. Being able to watch Harper, Strasburg, Gio and some of the other young guns like Lombardozzi and Moore is a real treat. Just hope they can keep it up but the future is bright and the biggest challenge will be keeping everyone happy as Davey could put out two strong first teams right now. This season seems so much more interesting than recent seasons......

what a year this is turning out to be for the Nats.....crushing all who come before them. Saint76er...where are you, oh yeah,.........10 games back and the sniors at Philly falling apart! Nats with the second best record in MLB....who would have thought that?

The US is incredibly difficult to get into. He has a number of options: 1) Work for a UK company with a US office. After 12 months he can go for an intracompany transfer 2) Get an H1B visa - he woudl need to find a US employer willing to pay for this (several thousand $) and the cap is now pretty much full meaning no more H1Bs until OCt 2013 3) Marry a US girl I went for option 1 and got a green card after 8 months of arriving in the US. Not an easy place to get into and not as cheap to live here as people might think

Fantastic to see the Nats wipe the smile fo the smug, arrogant Philly fans. Nats are for real this season.....7 series win out of 8 and the big question is who will make way when Zimmerman, Morse, Chiang all come back. And Bryce Harper - reminds me so much of kevin Pietersen (including the terrible haircut!). Lets go Nats!

Saints are going to need a new spine to the team when we get promoted. From the very limited amount I have seen this season, Fonte is a total liability, we will need a RB, a pacey RM and possibly LM and a replacement for Hammond. We're still in an incredibly strong position and it's in our hands......

lmfao.........all this talk about Lowe ruining Saints finances. This was all done by WIlde and co (who 90%+ of our fanbase thought was a messiah) and by the time he came back to try and turn things round we were shot because of the amssive overspend by Wilde and his cronies. Relegation happens although it could have been perhaps avoided if we had gotten Hoddle back. Lets face it, Strachan took us as far as he could and as has been shown elsewhere he has a very limited shelf life. This shows we have to be sustainable......right now we're ok and looking good but, if something happened and there was no more money to subsidise us we would be right up the creek without a paddle.

realistically, West ham have to get 2 wins and a draw to overatke us (superior goal difference is worth an extra point) whilst we get nothing from 3 games. With 7 games left this is not impossible but highly unrealistic. Each time we get a win, irrespective of what West ham and Reading do, we get even closer to promotion. Based on the above I reckon 9 more points will do it for automatic promotion............and maybe less if West ham beat Reading and so do we.

Don't see it myself...would have thought that Fonte/Hooiveld will be the pairing for the rest of the season and if any injuries that Martin will come in (who seemed to do very well recently).
