If this is true and it could well be, a blow to Villa, namely for the fact they'd miss out on some money for him but no worries Porky, you've got Tom Cleverley to soften the blow.

I expected him to leave anyway... but what's this "clear indication" he's supposedly revealed? There's no quotes, nothing which really constitutes breaking news. Just the rumour mill doing its work I guess, even though what the article says is true - Delph will leave.

That's a shit article though.

So it's Remembrance Weekend and all of the games will have a minute's silence before. Players will wear the red poppy on their shirts.

But not one. Wigan's James McClean hasn't worn a poppy for as long as I can remember, when he was at Sunderland he got booed by his own fans but he has personal principles and feelings relating to the Troubles in Northern Ireland. He's not wearing it again and he's explained why > http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk/news/artic ... 70059.aspx

Full respect for not only deciding to not wear one but explaining WHY. Would have been so easy to just wear one and avoid the hassle but don't see why he should get stick.

The abuse McClean has received for not wearing a poppy is absolutely absurd and quite embarrassing. I'd do the same if I were him, though I don't wear a poppy anyway. I hate what its come to stand for. I won't get into that though as I could rant for days about it, and it would be off topic anyway.

Watching Villa vs West Ham... good lord. What the fuck is even happening.

Why was Lambert even offered a new contract? He's proving himself to be the worst manager in the club's history (seriously, I'll post the figures if necessary) and he was rewarded with a new deal. We have a maximum of 30% possession in games, can't score or defend, and all the best players want to leave. Right now, a Sam Allardyce side are playing us off the pitch.

Randy Lerner is easily, EASILY the worst chairman in the league, accompanied by the most inept manager. Look how far Villa have fallen in the last 5 years. It's shocking.

Typical Norwich. Completely control the game then make one stupid defensive error and completely fall apart. Not a chance in hell we should have lost that game.

Do you want Lambert back? I'll throw in 5 rep points and a Twix.

In nine league games from November 30th to January 10th, Southampton face Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd, Burnley, Everton, Palace, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd.

Hopefully after a few losses to those teams the fans will shut up a bit.

Do you just go looking for these people? I've never seen any of the folk you're talking about, only the endless remarks about how deluded Saints fans are. I'd imagine they're easily avoided if it's as much of an irritation as it seems.

I went to uni down south, and literally no one on the south coast supports anyone other than Saints as they're the only good team around for miles, unless you count the recent emergence of Bournemouth as a decent Championship side. So, I have a lot of mates that are Saints fans (most people at my uni were from the south).

Honestly, I've never seen or heard of any product, brand or team that have such a circlejerk fanbase as Saints. For example, over the last couple of months I've heard numerous Saints fans say the following:

- That there's a "media conspiracy" against their club (this was because the media were reporting that they were selling their best players, when they actually were. I saw some people liken it to the Sun's conspiracy against Liverpool over Hillsborough)
- That Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana were never any good in the first place
- They abused these aforementioned players on Twitter for not wanting to see out their contracts and claimed that if you sign a contract you should see it out until the end, yet whenever they were linked with a player, it didn't matter about his contract obligations for his respective club - they'd already be tweeting him welcoming him to St Marys
- Speaking of hypocrisy, they demanded the FA launch an investigation into Steven Gerrard tapping up Adam Lallana as they were in a photo together while on England duty, yet when Fraser Forster said that Lallana persuaded him to join Saints, ironically while they were on England duty together, not a word about 'tapping up' was said
- And talking of transfers, they linked themselves to some ridiculous players in the summer like Romelu Lukaku, Wesley Sneijder and James Rodriguez (no kidding)

They just have a pretty embarrassing fanbase, and their recent success due to their easy fixtures and the disappointing starts of teams like Man City, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal has only feuled the bubbling cauldron of shit that is Southampton fans. They're absolutely unbearable.

It seems all I did was give you another reason to rant, my point was that you do seem to go out of your way to find/provoke these people, on twitter etc. with the PTF account. If they're as irritating as you say, stop looking for them man! :lol

I can't help it. If someone's being a twat I'll let them know it, and it happens that a lot of their fans are twats.

It's gotten to the point now where I physically can't look at the Saintsfc hashtag as it's just so full of shit. I hear enough about it from my mates anyway, about the media's Hillsborough-style conspiracy against them. It's just fortunate most of the Saints fans I met at uni do live down south, as if I had to see them regularly I'd be in jail for murder by now.

Loved the derby yesterday, proper FA cup game! Can't wait for the draw tonight, hoping for another non-league side to give us the best chance of getting into the draw for the 3rd round but I'm fully expecting us to get someone like Peterborough or Plymouth away.

Sky reckon that Moyes is considering the vacant role at Real Sociedad. But...why?

There's plenty of teams in the Premier League that could do with him. His tenure at Everton was overrated but he knows how to steady a ship. He'd do well at many Premier League clubs, and there's quite a few teams with insecure managers currently. Why he'd move to Spain for a team like Real Sociedad is strange to me.

Conflicting rumours whether he's taking the job. I think he just wants to build his career abroad in the way Steve McClaren successfully did in Holland after his England debacle. Probably wants to get away from the glare in England but he seems to be trying to picky for a job but tbh, he's not going to get ten years like he did at Everton. He's going to have to take a job and trust his coaching ability that he can succeed.

Moyes confirmed to Sociedad, less pressure from the media abroad so a decent chance to rebuild his reputation, Sociedad have some decent players aswell and of course who wouldn't want to live here
