We need more than just Owen..we need 2 pacey wingers who can cause havoc and run at players. I think you'll find that no matter who we bring in to replace Morientes/Cisse/Mellor/Pongolle that we still need variation down the flanks.

Sorry for sounding a bit ignorant but why didnt the HJC lodge a complaint the day the fixtures were made?

We're speaking to both Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.

See..Hunter again states "Saints will be happy getting that away goal"

When they scored, Steve Hunter said it was a "vital away goal" so I think he implies that they do count.

Excellent scouting opportunity for Rafa We need another one. I feel they could kill us at St Marys.

COME ON YOU RED BOYS

And all you seem to be doing in each and every thread is knocking people for no apparent reason. We're all on the same side or haven't you realised that yet?

Christ on a bike I'm trying to bring a little optimism to the party and all I get is doom and gloom.

Who said that?

I dont want to turn this topic into a "who's going and who's staying" discussion. We all know who should go. All I'm really saying is that we saw our entire season's problems and mistakes rolled into 90 mins today. We should have bought a back-up centre half in before August 31st. Lousy result short term I agree. But as I say..its our season's mistakes rolled into one and will give us a great idea as to what needs changing for next season.

I disagree a little. Cisse gone yes..Moro not (until tonight). All I'm saying is, everything that usually goes wrong for us did and everything we do right did.

YNWA was sung well after the game at the local pub.

This isn't spin. I'm being realistic. We need 2 new strikers and a right wing. We have Paletta and Agger who will put Traore so far down the pecking order he'll be training with the Under 11s. We know Cisse and Moro will be on their bike...what more can this game show us?

It will show Rafa and the Board exactly where we are lacking. It was a microcosm of our season thus far and I really feel that we can learn from this result. Chins up guys...onwards and upwards.

What was Carra's before 23? Or did he break into the squad after Fowler inherited Rush's #9?

Harvard referencing technique please.

Soccernet do the same. There was a Morientes article recently where he said a lot to "The S*n"

Who cares...Rafa's leaving

It's because of a few issues: 1. Rafa not categorically denying interest from Real etc. and saying he wants to stay here longer than his contract. 2. Parry and Moores being ambigious regarding investment and stadium talk. 3. Our goal scorers ...or lack thereof.

sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Rafa will be a complete tool if he leaves for Madrid. They treat their managers like cr@p the minute the going gets tough.

If Rafa has gone as far as to listen to Madrid then this is a tap up and should be dealt with to the full extent of the LAW.
