    Burnley Ratings Thread

    I don't know what game you watched but it clearly wasn't the same one as me: Davis - 6 - Should have saved the second goal, despite Hooiveld's calamitous defending. Distribution still woeful. Did make some good saves though. Clyne - 8 - Scored a belter, was up and down the pitch all the time...

    Official Fantasy Premier League Thread: Code 9060-6358

    Hart Henderson Kompany Mertesacker Johnson Garrido Brayford Santi Cazorla Nolan Schneiderlin Kim Hernandez Van Persie Lambert Bony I play 3-4-3 Hart - Man City are notoriously hard to score against, much of that down to Kompany and Hart's saves. Henderson - Cheap bench player. Kompany - see...

    Slightly disappointed...

    I agree that for £20m, Damiao is not worth it. Osvaldo, though a reasonably good player (though I remember he was bang average for Fiorentina) has a poor attitude. No other players at Saints currently have any kind of attitude of ego problem so in one respect I hope Osvaldo goes elsewhere. His...

    Article: PRE-SEASON: Southampton vs Real Sociedad - Football Southampton

    The goals we conceded were so frustrating. Their 3rd was comical, Fox again was nowhere to be seen and Davis' positioning was just horrific. He's allergic to his near post. Ramirez was again anonymous, if he plays like that up until Christmas then we need to sell in January. He just doesn't look...

    Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread - Mk4

    I can't agree with large parts of this post. El Hamdaoui was hardly a laughing stock in the Eredivise, tore it up with Alkmaar and did well a Ajax before the De Boer debacle. At Fiorentina he's been pretty woeful, so bad at times that we opted to play without a recognised striker for a few games...

    Matt Le Tiss blogs

    Used to sit next to Tibs' Scott Balaam in an Italian course we both did. Great guy and really knows his football. Die-hard Lazio fan and had some great stories of the Italian game. All the best with the Le Tiss exclusives.

    Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread - Mk4

    Caught up on the last few pages and going to sum up my thoughts on particular topics in bullet point form. - I think another winger is needed, not an AMC. I fully expect Gaston to step up this season, and be used in the middle where he can be electrifying, rather than on the wing where he is...

    Which EPL transfer makes you jealous?

    Bony for sure. No disrespect to Swansea as they are a great team, but that guy should be playing at a so-called 'elite' club. He's a monster.

    Players who have featured for Saints since the July 2009 takeover.

    2009 was the year I really started 'supporting' Saints, having just moved to uni and never really truly supported a club before. So these players are the only ones I've ever seen actually play for Saints as a supporter!

    Lamers is far superior in mental and physical/speed stats, I know who I'd rather have ;)

    I hated FM13 so am still on FM12. This is my best player right now, picked up for a relatively measly £6m from Sparta Rotterdam:

    Article: Welcome Pochettino | Southampton FC, Football

    Balague is a really close friend of his as well as lauding literally every single Spanish manager, so I'd take his word with a pinch of salt. I'm destroyed with the news, but Pochettino wasn't the one who told Nige his time was up. Will support him and the support the club, no matter how...

    Gross and Di Matteo

    Is feminism having sex with the british people? Will feral children steal from homeowners? Will gypsies hurt you? Are lesbians impregnating your pets? Could foxes turn the church gay?
