    "Sit there along with Adam Lallana"

    Adam Lallana.

    Solid holding midfielder.

    Yep.

    He also lists Aaron McLean among the players Steve Bruce will be looking to show Premier League class. I'm not too sure they'll be holding their breaths on that.

    Plus seems to think that Lallana will be playing alongside Wanyama in the centre of our robust midfield. Not going so great is Stan.....

    I also like how Stan Collymore says our key signings will be Wanyama or Lovren. No **** Stan.

    It's a sort of default position that anyone who has anything to do with Talksport is a twat.

    If we had Van Persie in our team. Where do you think we would finish?

    Apparently Alan Smith has us down to be relegated, in The Telegraph.

    Still 'smarting' after Adkins' sacking I suppose but this comment is silly from Alan:

    Manager sack-race rating
    Mauricio Pochettino has a foreign name and loves Marcelo Bielsa. That is enough to guarantee you a job these days. 2/5

    Some funny bits in that article...like the idea that West Ham will spend their Sky money on cardboard cut outs to fill the seats of the Olympic Stadium. I note he has Cardiff in 17th and CP and Hull filling other relegation spots. My guess...he didn't want to put all 3 promoted sides in bottom 3 as too predictable, so put us there as he has an axe to grind. An awful lot of people in football would be amazed to see us in the bottom three in real life.

    Watched season preview on BT Sport last night and most of the 'pundits' put us 9th or 10th. Most of them were quite nice about us too! Only ex-skate James was negative. I am sure it will be repeated so it might be worth looking out for, though there were no sparkling revelations.

    Guardian's preview


    http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/aug/13/premier-league-preview-southampton




    "Yet there is still a tendency to overrate Southampton and forget how poor they were, for instance, in home defeats by Sunderland and QPR or that there were only six victories at St Mary's and plenty of bitty draws. Under both Adkins and Pochettino they often struggled against teams who sat back, growing frustrated and resorting to hitting it long to Lambert, and they won only six games against sides in the bottom half."
