Pamplemousse

Former Pompey player in spouting deluded nonsense shocker http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34297056

Romeu did not deserve to be dropped. Victor should be on the bench, from the games he has actually played in, he didn't show any sort of decent form at all.

Unlike in some other countries however, our Head of State has very little power. And even if there was an election, it would be completely pointless considering the Queen has approval ratings politicians can only dream of having. She'd win hands down every single time. As would Charles, and William after that, and eventually George.

1-0 to Saints, goal will be a Lambert own goal and the away end will burst into a rendition of 'Rickie Lambert Southampton's goal machine'

I'd much rather have the Queen or Charles or William as our head of state than any elected career politician. She is completely neutral and immune to lobbyists or other 'corrupt' influences. And they don't have any real power, the real decision makers are elected (apart from the Lords which should be elected) by us. I think they're harmless and am happy with the current system than being a republic.

Pitch is looking a bit stripey

Romeu over Wanyama, his passing is so much better.

Who could he possibly be referring to?

From POL. For a forum that seems intent on pointing out how obsessed us jealous scummers are about them, they do like discussing us a lot

Mané's English isn't very good I seem to recall. I doubt there's anything in him not doing the interview at all.

Unfortunately this is not a WUM post. I'm actually concerned about ART's welfare and I think he needs to be sectioned under the mental health act.

We're either going to lose thanks to a defensive mistake or we will stuff them 6-0.

Excuse the rant.....and please allow me to finish....but the over-reaction by some following #saintsfc exit from Europe leads me to say it is way too early for the panic button to be pressed & fingers to be pointed at figures in the club for perceived failings. Have people forgotten the result of last year's meltdown? Best #EPL finish ever? Is this a club in crisis now before Sept ?!? Come on. Yes, performances at #saintsfc and results have been below the high standards of last 2 years but you cannot build quickly every year? At some point the policy of taking big money for key players is going to affect the quality of #saintsfc squad but it is early still and maybe a period of re-adjustment & some more investment is needed but it's too early to say the people that have got so much right are suddenly bad at what they do - like RK, Les Reed, & players - over time the club has grown steadily & whilst fans can rightly claim that money spent has not been matched by money brought in, it is too early to write off ability of key people because of a few results. There is no way #saintsfc could foresee the trouble caused by Man Utd over Mané & seemingly by Wanyama & his agent. That is unsettling he squad with players asking questions I'm sure, & #saintsfc as a club needs to hold it's nerve up until Tuesday 6pm & stick together. If Wanyama & his agent are constructively working to get him out of #saintsfc then I hope he can look his teammates in the eye if he remains at St Mary's after Sept 1st. If not then fans I spoke to last night would rather take the cash & move on. There is no doubt that at some stage the club need to invest in two or three high quality signings if they're to back up their rhetoric of wanting to stay at the right end of PL table & consistently compete for Europe, as they want . So I get fans who are worried now after a poor start but I think it's way too early for judgement & some journalists adding their ill-informed thoughts to keep poking at the wounded animal is not helping but division between key club staff is not something i think is true & fans should rally round - as they already do. End.

Step away from the keyboard.

Loic Perard had a fairly average career in France as a footballer. According to his wikipedia page, he was sporting director at Laval in 2007 and joined Valenciennes in 2012 as their scout. It'll be interesting to see if in January we make some signings from the French league.

Even when the skates were bottom of the league and we were going well in League 1 they beat us 4-1. Anyone who doesn't think our Premier League squad wouldn't be capable of beating a League 2 side needs their head testing. We would name our strongest possible team and absolutely destroy them. Remember, our youth side beat theirs 7-0 a couple of years ago!

Oops, seems like the draining at the new training ground isn't working

Just had a gander on POL. Seems like Nick Illingsworth has upset them quite a bit Here is the quote in question And the responses Meanwhile, the Portsmyths about us just keep on coming :mcinnes:

Dust off the open-top bus, they'll be talking about this for weeks as they claim a famous point against Morecambe. Can't wait for the DVD to be released.

We did the double over them the last season we met, beating them 4-0 at home and 3-0 away.

We will win 4-1. Calm down everyone

Wanyama really has no reason to go there, they are playing in exactly the same competitions this season as we are. I expect him to leave next summer but to a club in the Champions League.

A good rendition of "We don't care about you" is in order at our home game

Basing it on last season's draw the teams won't be split into different batches. Pot 1 was done first, where the first team draw was put into Group A, then the second team into Group B, and so on so forth, and repeated for Pots 2, 3 and 4. Not sure exactly what happens if for instance, Saints are put into Group B and Liverpool have already been drawn in that group, I reckon they would just put us in Group C and then the next team that gets drawn out would go into Group B.

Europa League. Seeing as the skates bang on about their so-called history it'd be good to win a trophy they would never win in a month of sundays.
