According to Garth Crooks: 'Chelsea maintained a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League' we are totally under the radar :D. Let's hope we can continue.

And yet it is him on the BBC Sport webpage that apparently said this:

"Southampton have slipped into second in the table while remaining under the radar. But they are doing extremely well. They have momentum and are keeping their form going - and now they have our full attention."

Looks like their full attention only extends to 4 teams. Any more and they get brain overload.

Or maybe he is helping us with our cunning ruse?
 
There's a bit more competition for left back; Baines, Shaw, Gibbs. On the other hand, Clyne has no competition, that's probably why it's so baffling he doesn't get picked.
 
Cork.....England have no DMs. Better option that Delph or Wilshere in the DM role.
 
Pochettino waving an imaginary card at the ref during that brawl. Lamela too.

Friedel essentially said on MOTD2 that Ryan Mason was tasked with winding Villa up and trying to get one of their players sent off. Also admitted that Mason put his head in on Benteke. Might have been too honest for your own good there, Brad.

Dirty, horrible club.

I didn't see that. Very naughty if true.
 
That Poch was lucky to have a set of players with a great mentality, who bought into his methods no questions asked (and that this mentality clearly still exists through our club looking at our start this season). Basically a nod to the underlying system, recruitment and ownership of our club. However he doesn't have that at Spurs, he'll need time and that they bought badly.

A lot of us were saying that when Poch was just a twinkle in Levy's eye. Saints were perfect for MP...young, talented, willing, and no big egos**. Shame he didn't realise it....though I gather his coaches tried to talk him out of a move #unsubstantiatedrumour

**Well no big egos until Mauricio arrived.

Really Fran? That'd be an interesting rumour to hear more about; his coaching team did seem happy here.
 
Another positive thread about our fullbacks in The Guardian stating that Clyne is almost certain to play for England in the next two weeks: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/nov/02/nathaniel-clyne-reward-england-southampton-hull

Be tough for Clyne...dropping down to a lesser side :) Only half joking...our defence is a good unit, will be a learning curve for him having to play his game whilst surrounded by relative strangers. It will be criminal if he doesn't get a cap this time...will never understand why Roy stuck with an underperforming Chambers for the second game. Chambers was hardly likely to be scarred for life...at his age he would get other chances, especially as a CB.
 
It was a shame that he didn't get more of a run out in front of Roy. Ron went for Wanyama....that went badly didn't it :) Cork is a players' player...would probably have been selected for his country by now if he'd been at a bigger club.

While I whole heartedly agree that Clyne should be RB for England, Roy chose Chambers who this weekend went and scored and got an assist for his club. If he picks Clyne now, it will suggest Roy is not a strong character and is being swayed by the media/he just can't make up his mind and doesn't know what he is doing **

** select as appropriate.
 
Moyes on short list with Pepe Mel for Real Sociedad job. Makes you think would United have done any worse if they had given him a second season. Think the board and fans couldn't accept that United were in transition and made a knee jerk reaction in sacking him.
