In that case I'd settle for Mourinho as manager, with a midfield of Ronaldo, Kaka, Gerrard and Fabregas.

It was a cup game not a league game.

Trouble is, come January all the loan players will have gone back and we could have lost the likes of Surman, Lallana and Skacel, which means that Jan (if he's still here) will have to build another new team (not just add 3 quality players). Until our debts are wiped out, this will happen every transfer window and if we don't get some sort of investment, the money from these 'sales' will only go to service the debt and not into strengthening the squad. This in turn will mean more reliance on loans and even less experienced youngsters. It doesn't matter how good our Academy is, it does not have a bottomless pit of talent.

Play your best available side. Lallana would easily be in that, therefore the answer is YES!!

I think that says more about some of our past managers, than the younsters' talent. Youngsters need to learn their trade and the best way to do that, is to be introduced to the side bit by bit (an appearance from the bench, here and a start, there). Some can cope with being pitched in to the team and left to sink or swim but it can ruin others' careers.

We have some excellent youngsters but not ALL of them are good enough and others are NOT YET ready. The problem we have is that we don't have enough DECENT experienced players left in the squad to help bring the youngsters through at their own pace and therefore we have to play them, good enough or not, ready or not.

Not been on since his identity was outed. I didn't think he'd be able to resist coming on after Lord Lowe masterminded Saturday's second half fightback though!

Apparently Boothroyd has been sacked today so Greg probably won't know where he stands until a new man comes in.

May be they should give the Red & White shirts away then.

Nearly half of their goals have come as a result of Delap's throws and he is up there in the "most assists" list.

I'm surprised the club doesn't charge them more TBH. They probably see it as a double whammy. Not only do they have to replace the players shirts, for every fan lucky enough to be given one FOC, it is potentially a lost sale in the Megastore.

Yes he does. He was on about his daughter having her halloween pumkin stolen from outside their house in Winchester.

I will review my original guess. I did think 4 now I'm going for 8.

Anyone thought he may have been scouting for Stuart Pearce with his U21 hat on, rather than Bolton?

To be fair, many of our youngsters have started their academy education elsewhere.

And the fact that Rudi, Drew, Kelvin and a few others have kindly added their squad numbers.

LOL.... Even David Copperfield couldn't make something that big disappear.

Unless it's funded by player swap?

I thought it was the Coca Cola Championship?

Seems to be luckier than Red & White at the moment.

4-1, Stern John scored a late goal.

omg!

I think it will take a few home wins on the trot to do it for me but it's a start.

I nearly threw mine through the telly. Still great result, totally unexpected at half-time. COYR!!
