    Absolutely, but in cricket the captain has a lot more power, including selecting the team. Imagine if Ryan Bertrand picked the Saints team!

    Actually he might not do much worse a job than Hughes, thinking about it...

    I don’t think he picks the team alone in international cricket, there’s a committee. Probably a bit like Saints ..... “oi, Ralph, can I pick Maya this week?”

    “No!”

    “Oh, ok. Just cos he didn’t bring you back that bottle of Yamasaki single malt you asked him for ....” <doh>

    Get Cahill in at CB and make him captain. Bring Targett thru to replace Bertrand. Get Stephens playing RB when we need a bit of height. And get a new RB who is quick but can actually cross and or get into the box and shoot occasionally. Put in the oven for 10 games and allow to cool before celebrating.

    Chelsea's Moses will be going out in January too. possibly even Drinkwater
    Those three would improve the team, its a shame we have run out of money and have a "deep roster" according to RK

    Well I agree anyway. Even leaving aside if changing captain would make a difference (it wouldn't), or if Bertrand is somehow a bad captain (he's not), or if captains do anything (they don't). Everyone's already motivated, everyone's already trying. That's not the problem.

    After he popped in to see me and we ate the doughnuts he bought and the muffins I made, I think Fats may not be down this way again for a while in case he ends up living up to his name! :emoticon-0103-cool:
    Great to see you, though, Fats!

    Looks like Alex is finally going to get his cap ....

    Gareth Southgate will give debuts to Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy Brighton defender Lewis Dunk and Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson in Thursday's friendly against USA. (Daily Mirror)

    Apparently a load of fans have been duped by a picture of a fake Jardim interview, purportedly posted and taken down quickly by the Saints YouTube channel.

    We don’t really want to go down the route of gags about genitalia slang words and their negative connotations, now do we? :eek:
