Premier League Thread

He never looked happy on the touchline for us either. He is a miserable moody twat, just we weren't as bothered about it when he was doing OK for us.

 

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

lovren wants to end his career at liverpool

everyone else thought he already had.

 

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?

 

Maybe. Perhaps it's better if we put up with being ignored. After all, of the medium sized clubs, we're getting all the attention. Possibly more than Everton and Spurs even. So long may we limbo under the radar.

As long as we can get peeved occasionally for the lack of attention as well.

 

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

 

Even Garth Crooks said Roy should stop pussyfooting around and put Clyne in the team. Personally, I reckon Bertrand shouldn't be over looked either.

 

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.

 

I didn't see that. Very naughty if true.

 

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.

 

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.

 

I'm not sure where I heard it, but never let lack of evidence get in the way of a good rumour. May be some truth as it is a strange rumour...not the type people usually make up.

 

Same old problem for Cork though, he's never going to be selected when he isn't even first choice for Saints.

 

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.

 

Roy will cock it up, its the only certainty.

 

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.
