Bewildered

Also was listening to Solent a few minutes ago and Adam Blackmore said the board will not sell any players (without Pochettino's approval) despite the high transfer debt, which was the main headline along with the fact they have overspent on the training ground.

I think he meant the journalist who penned the piece in the Sunday Mirror about Shaw agreeing to join Man Utd is a United fan.

Excellent performance, only one place between the two teams but we made Newcastle look leagues below us.

He does have a very good reputation for accuracy. Saying that, I wonder if Lallana is the sort of player they need when they already have players like Hazard, Willian, Oscar. Think one or two of the big clubs will try for Lallana, but if we are selling Shaw I would hope they would be sent packing. Losing our two prize assets in one transfer window would send a very poor message to the fans, the rest of the team and to any decent players that we may hope to bring in using the money raised.

Gianluca Di Marzio ‏@DiMarzio 3m Even @realmadrid is looking forward #shaw of @SouthamptonFC. And @chelseafc wants #Lallana, other saints young starlet.

Eastleigh 2-0 up, with the team above them losing 1-0, meaning Eastleigh could be top of the Conference South with 2 games in hand. Pompey v Eastleigh derby next season looking more likely than every.

Every time we play, we start well, dominate and maybe even score a couple. But the moment they are put under any sort of pressure or things start to go wrong the defenders suddenly look clueless as to what they are supposed to do and the midfield and attackers become a nonentity. Are they poorly motivated? Psychological weakness? Lack of a natural leader on the pitch?

Krueger went to school with and is rumoured to be friends with Ottmar Hitzfeld, just saying...

Worth the lead because Norwich are not really threatening at all, but second half the passing has to sharpen up. Against a decent side there is no way we'd be winning playing like this. Too many occasions we have ponced about with it a the back and been forced into a mistake. Also Boruc needs to sort his kicking out, absolutely diabolical.

That's some shoddy reporting by SSN then, because when they did the lead in to the clip the newsreader said MP claimed to have never met RK.

But why say it when the new Chairman has already claimed to have met Pochettino on numerous occasions prior to his appointment?

The way Cortese was able to have a number of Football journalists eating out of the palm of his hand by the time he left and the way those same journalists tore into KL and tried to sell a story of a club in with a clueless owner looking for a quick way out after he quit suggests he was more media savvy than people think.

Saw that rumour floating about on Twitter yesterday morning, before the Telegraph article was published.

Gordon Simpson ‏@gordonsimpson 2m Lovren getting treatment on the pitch after the whistle. Limping back to dressing room. #saintsfc

Or not #SaintsFC team vs Crystal Palace: Boruc, Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Cork, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Lallana ©, Rodriguez, Lambert.

u21s 1-0 up now, mainly thanks to a bad piece of goalkeeping.

Watching it at the moment, second half just started, really bad game. England having all the possession, but Wales have had the better chances on the counter attack. JWP not exactly overextending himself. Isgrove has done absolutely nothing for Wales except being offside once.

No Lallana? smh

Can't Shoot Can't Defend Gave up at 2-0
