    Redknapp gone.

    Bad knee apparently.... hmmmmm... pi$$ed off he didn't get to strengthen me thinks.

    January's done, where will we finish?

    With squad depth the bigger clubs are able to really go on big runs when they hit their straps. For us a 4 game winning streak in the league is very good but for the others they can go and win 7-8 on the bounce and probably expect to. Whatever happens its been a great season and we will smash...

    Koeman sets timescale over Cork contract talks

    I wonder if J Rod has been given a similar sort of deadline. Hope Cork signs but can understand if he wants guaranteed 1st team football.

    Saint Wesley!

    I see the Mirorr are running a poll asking if he would be Saints greatest player since Le Tiss. Probably on ability and and what he has achieved in the game but I doubt he would be as great for Saints as Rickie Lambert was. would be an amazing signing if true and would show serious intent...

    Koeman rules out UCL / Tells fans to be realistic, SFC "need" to make Europa League

    I think there has been a bit of a power shift in th PL where by there isn't the traditional Top 4, that for a decade or so were streets ahead of everyone else. Newcastle were close a few years back, Spurs got in as did Liverpool this season. To me the league has bunched up and sides like...

    Koeman rules out UCL / Tells fans to be realistic, SFC "need" to make Europa League

    Good ploy to lower expectations and take some pressure off, maybe? If we string three wins together now before X Mas we will be back in the top four at the halfway point of the season. Aresenal have got into the CL for years whilst not being able to beat the top 3 teams, so it can be done by...

    J Rod

    It may not be anything new. I beleive he had to have some fluid removed from the knee a few weeks ago. Hopefully RK was talking about this when he described the set back and the press have ran with it. Would be great to have him back for January when Mane goes to the ACN.

    How far would we get in the champions league?

    What seems to serve teams well in the PL doesn't seem to work so well in the UCL. Man City seem to be doing a great job of notr being able to adapt from one to the other and they have a number of players that have played at the absoulute highest level. That said the best European teams do...

    Who will last the longest?

    It's a tricky one. I actually think that Poch may be given more time than others in the past. If another Levy appointment fails then he will be looking over his shoulder so Poch must work or he could find himself gone as well. Problem is Poch needs to drop some of the big name players who are...

    An evening at Staplewood: a tour of the Markus Liebherr Pavilion with José Fonte

    Really great read. I love the fact that the academy players have to earn access to the better facilities as they progress but at the same time can see what they are aiming for and what lies ahead with their success.

    Saints captain José Fonte called up by Portugal!

    The Strachan team had a lot of internationals in it although may not have all played for their countries at the same time. Thissquad is someting else though. MELTDOWN!

    What does Ron put in the HT oranges?

    He's a spitting image of Butthead.

    Artur wants to leave, and Club are willing to sell

    I can understand why he's severely pissed off. In a summer when the side has been taken apart and we need to replace and strengthen in more pressing positions, we decide to replace Boruc rather than bring somone in to push him. We needed to have decent back up to Boruc not replace him. How...
