Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

good and clearly offside.

too easy. and way offside.

aww poor federici. i never like seeing keepers getting punished for going up in the last minute.

I do. Not in this case though

yup, the only two acceptable scenarios are for the keeper to score or the defending team break and score. anything else is a disappointment.

Paul Robinson getting a kick in the face and a penalty last year topped either of those

yeah like jimmy glass.

Saints are delighted to today welcome Sunseeker International as a new official partner of the Club.

The Poole-based luxury yacht manufacturer has agreed a three-year contract that will see it support Saints' journey in the Barclays Premier League.
 
The agreement will lead to Sunseeker branding being used on St Mary's newly-installed luxury dugout seats, which fans will get their first look at during tomorrow's game against Wigan Athletic.
 
With a philosophy based around the pursuit of excellence and a determination to break new ground, Sunseeker will prove to be perfect partners for the Club as we take our place among the country's footballing elite.
 
Nicola Cortese, Executive Chairman of Southampton Football Club, said: "I believe that our new partnership with Sunseeker is based on a set of shared values and beliefs.
 
"Both companies strive to achieve the very best, and are constantly seeking to cross boundaries into fresh territory.

they're no mister potato anyway

You going to the game wbs? It'd be nice to get a firsthand impression of these new dugout seats.

No, it seems my first game this season is gonna be Arsenal away. With my dad. In the Arsenal end. Which... Hmm.

Just abuse the Arsenal team a lot and they'll assume your one of hem.

hem=them

The system was most interesting when van Persie replaced Welbeck, because it demonstrated the flexibility of the front three. First it seemed Rooney was going to the left, then van Persie moved to that side, then Nani went over there.

'interesting' as in didn't actually work at all

yah it really didn't. Could barely tell that RVP was on the pitch, which considering that Utd had a lot of the ball in the last 20 mins, isn't the best. That isn't a criticism of RVP, it just didn't seem to work.

i hope he tries again tho

twp was completely useless and it's hard to carry a passenger in a system relying on acuity of thought and fast interchanges of position

Michu delivers for my fantasy team. I missed most of La Liga last year so I haven't actually seen him play but 15 goals from MF ish in a team that isn't RM or Barca was good enough for me.

Brendon who?

Hope Fat Sam gets a hiding.

I remember a time when Jaaskelainen was good too.

Shaun, a very very disgruntled United supporter, on text: "Shocking decision to drop Rooney. Our best player for many seasons now. Absolutely scandalous."

Is Nani injured number none? Not even on the bench.

shaun is obv one of the Cornish cognoscenti

thank you for your contribution, shaun

talking about platonic forms, this might be the compressed platonic form of 606 style football cant

"Shocking decision to drop Rooney. Our best player for many seasons now. Absolutely scandalous."

challop: nonsequitur: recapitulation

Woeful marking from Ashley Young. Cute free kick tho.

Carrick gave the free-kick away after getting tricked on the left side of the box.

RVP cracker
