It takes a special kind of trolling **** to quote their own post to show off about their negative predictions about their own choice of football club.

Oddly, todays result could be a good thing for us. It might bring out the fighting spirit and determination we've not always seen, which can bring that extra few percent out of our players. It has always been ours to lose, it still is.

What sort of momumental cockend runs onto the pitch at such an important time. ****s.

Barnard was the one of only two players who looked up for the game against Blackpool, when he came on. While everyone else was stood around watching and waiting, he was running and looked a threat. He deserves a chance in this league. I'm not 100% convinced he can do it, but he'll damn well try hard.

Does he, though? Guly plays in two positions where we have cover. Barnard came on and looked good yesterday, he's available to replace Guly as a forward, so we have an option there even with our current injuries to other forwards. We have numerous players who can play at RM, Guly's other common position. So NA doesn't have to play him, he clearly chooses to. I think it simply comes down to the fact NA is an experienced football professional and people on this forum are not, never will be, never have been and don't see the game in the same way as somebody who truly understands it at a professional level.

And most of the posters on here sound like the same idiots queuing up for petrol in a blind panic, over a strike that didn't and doesn't exist, over a shortage that was made by the panic itself. Perspective, if you could bottle it and sell it you'd make a fortune selling to our fans.

The most frustrating thing about today's result, is the dumb comments that we lost because we didn't have Lambert. Utter nonsense, we lost because we were poor across the field. We looked like we didn't want the ball. When we did have it, everyone seemed to be standing around waiting for something to happen. Only Lallana and Barnard when he came on looked up for it. Poor day at the office. But still 6-points clear of third, that's what counts. And, oddly, today wasn't a bad day to lose. We don't have many defeats in us so it's good to get that out of the way. On we march...

Saints like to keep lineups close to their chest until the very last minute, so that'll be why nothing has been mentioned officially. Now it's official that Lambert isn't in the squad, I'm sure the announcement will follow soon, if he's out for the rest of the season.

Confirmed as an injury. No word yet on what or how bad.

Lambert not on bench either. Simply says 'misses out through injury'. No mention of anything worse.

Indeed, let's hope the reasons are coming soon.

Second place is promoted, third place is playoffs. The gap to third is what matters. Common sense should be taught, never mind maths.

A very nice summary indeed. I'm pleased to see Reading doing well, they always seem an honest club and a decent set of fans. WHam are just nasty in every way. Horrid football.

3-1

Southampton Airport. He read on the internet we were flying today.

Can you lol @ Reading please?

If it's true and CFSFC is correct, I'll be more than happy to offer a genuine apology for every doubting him.

If you were asked not to say, why did you post it on the internet, for everyone to view?

You jinxed it.

Didn't you say earlier the source was in the medical team? Now it's somebody who knows somebody in the medical team?

Does it matter in the grand scheme of things if that does happen? Keeping ourselves in the automatic spots is the priority.

It's less than two hours until we find out who the clown really is. You, or all of us who have slammed you.

It's the gap to third I'm most concerned about, so anything but a WHam win is what I'd like. Even Reading winning and us losing keeps the gap to third the same as it is now, which isn't a terrible outcome to the weekend. A draw would be ideal with us winning though.

Why would he have driven up North if he was having an operation?

So 100% correct turned out to be 100% crock of crap. But to be fair, you aren't the first nor last person to be fed crap information and felt proud to tell the world.
