I'm not sure where this belongs, but this ought to be seen by a wider (Saints-related) audience.

I saw this story on the Newsnow (yes, I know) web site:

"Why West Ham new boy ranks as one of the worst PL transfers of the season"

Apparently, Jose Fonte isn't the answer to West Ham's defensive frailties, as WHU have won only twice, conceding 23 goals, since Jose jumped ship.

If only I could spell schadenfreude :emoticon-0116-evilg:emoticon-0116-evilg

Saw that yesterday, but I am conflicted. Didn't want him to shine for West Ham and I think he behaved badly/unwisely, but he is still Jose!:emoticon-0106-cryin
 
Change of strategy to a back five is clearly working well for Boro. Just the three goals they need to score, without Gaston to help.

The Boro-Sunderland game in midweek could go down as the most inept (and boring) game of 22 players trying to play PL football ever.

I'm embarrassed I didn't agree when you (+ everyone else) said they were going down a couple of months ago. And having sacked Karanka they won't be very good in the Championship next season.

Ooh, Niasse off (missing next week's game), this has gone amazingly for Swansea so far.

I actually fancy Sunderland which says a lot about how poor Boro are.

Bet the local plod are glad that it's a midweek game too <yikes>

Even more embarrasing than that... I actually put Boro (who I've been saying are **** for months now) in a long shot bet this afternoon <yikes>
