Ward-Prowse out for 10-12 weeks with a stress fracture of the foot. Shame for the lad - feared it was a bad one at the time - but he'll bounce back strongly, I'm sure.

Chance for Harry Reed to step up. JWP and Rodriguez can be like "two new signings" after Christmas, to coin a cliche.

Takes a bit of a shine off a great night for Saints, but that's football I guess.

Where did you hear that? Was it in the post match? That's a real shame if that's so, I felt he wasn't all that far away from making the England team.

I am not going to say much about last night's result against the Gunners apart from WHY ? WHY is it that the press always find an excuse for the these TOP teams when they play us ? Headlines like " ARSENAL KIDS LOSE CLOSE GAME TO Southampton " Kids like Podolski, Alexis Sanchez, Jack Wilshere, Diaby, Rosicky, Ospina, Santi Cazorla shall I go on. We were well organised and the better side and if we could have only taken our chances would have been out of sight about 70 minutes in. We have a great run of home games during October and could still be 2nd at the beginning of November, will the press if this happens give us the praise we deserve, we'll see but I expect not. Just two last things about our side Forster I am still not sure of with his rather static positioning at corners and free kicks and although it was a great free kick from Sanchez he didn't even try to save it. The other thing " MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN " is without doubt the best player in the Premier League bar none, he was absolutely tremendous last night and has been since the start of the season.

I feel Morgan can be the next Vieira, and expect RoKo to be able to push him along that path. I will be very interested to see how Saints midfield look over the season-there is already a new dimension to them and I think this will get better and better.

So, for Spuds to offer £12m is an absolute joke, and can only have been with the intention of causing disruption.

Will be interesting to see if MoPo can go to the Emirates at the weekend and get a win!! I suspect not and also suspect the reaction against him will continue to increase. Might be a good bit of disruption working in our favour for th following match.
