Grigsy

Anyone know if Clyne is long-fingered?

Hooliganism in the real sense is almost entirely dead in this country. Sure there might be the odd scuffle, but not like the 70s and 80s. Wasnt the most recent Saints thing arranged online after a Charlton game? Pathetic and embarassing to be honest. Think I remember reading one was a teacher too.

So did Will Grigg.

Ings by a mile. But equally Carlton Cole, Jamie Vardy, Bobby Zamora and Cameron Jerome would be better coming off the bench than Mayuka and we don't want to sign any of them.

It is pretty obvious Boruc won't be offered another contract at Saints. Jeff - why do you think Clyne is honourable?

Maybe Reed just isn't ready yet? Ron sees him every day in training and half time in a big game against the 2nd best team in the league isn't the time for Reed.

The top sides will win many games from here on in. Most weekends results won't "go our way". To stay anywhere near top 4 you have to win most weeks as we have so far but thats over less than a third of the season, we need to keep up this form for the whole season to have a chance. Of course, its obvious, but to finish top 4 is going to need a perfect season from us, and reality is any finish above 7th would be utterly brilliant for a club of our size.

You have to be blind, deaf, dumb or all three not to realise Schneiderlin will move to a top club in the summer.

Any reason you don't want Spurs v Everton to be a draw or Stoke to beat Liverpool? Or Hull to beat Man Utd?

Hopefully City play Jovetic up with Aguero and just Toure and Fernandinho in the middle but I am sure they have learned their lesson on that and will play 3 in the middle against us.

Some press talk of Targett signing a 5 year deal but very quiet on Cork. Would just seem that we aren't overly fussed about keeping him. Shame, but if they valued him that highly then surely it would have been done by now. Would also expect Maya to leave on a free this summer.

The ones written by a BBC journalist and then put underneath the Robbie Savage header?

Davis should, and will, start if fit. Last thing to do against City is completely sit back. We need to play our normal game and go back to the system that has got us up to 2nd in the first place.

One change. Davis for Long. That is our best lineup for me.

Have you taken over from Mitch? Koeman said the other day that we would consider it based on who is available.

Bit of a concern how poor the bench was in an attacking sense with only injuries to Davis and JWP in addition to Rodriguez. Imagine when Mane and Mayuka aren't there. It will be a serious problem unless we get a couple in on loan during January. That bench had nothing to change the game and was really a PL bottom half set of options.

Set play delivery was very poor tonight.
