He'd been doing well; but as usual always seconds away from imploding.

Thought so too He made a right mess of the one on one, but once he realised he'd fucked up it looked a deliberate pass to Papiss.

Oh, the ambivalence

Tbf he seemed really bemused and offended at the time, which was nice. True. Cluelessly in his delusional world.

Not too surprised that he finds it amusing. Prick.

Well let's certainly hope so.

He's just given up and changed sport... http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/79217000/jpg/_79217452_torres.jpg

Okay, that's good. Can't be from him then.

After several weeks and you don't get it operated on. Don't think there is to be much running straight after it happens And yes, I have had it.

If it was an ACL he wouldn't have walked off the pitch. Not necessarily. Apparently not that bad then, nice to hear.

Yes, likewise. Always read or heard that there was no footage. Only radio commentary, or maybe crappy footage of one goal and in black and white. This looked like it was all in proper quality and colour Will try catching the full show tonight.

What was this programme on Sky, then? Just seen a Vine of what looked like his debut hat trick for Southampton. Never seen those before. First time they've shown the footage?

Andy Cole very pleased to see Ivanovic sent off http://i.imgur.com/3wUQwrU.jpg

That was pleasant to listen to. The whole situation is quite simple really. A domino effect of shitness. Amazing that the numbers in attendance are still that high, but the club benefits from its high level of fervent following. The demographic has changed probably at the stadium as I've seen discussed on here quite a bit, but beyond that the place is soulless now. "A shrine to Sports Direct" as the caller put it. We all know quickly it would come alive again if things changed, which is the most frustrating.

Ugh, what a read. So many parallels can be made with NUFC and the level of support enjoyed by both clubs. The cheap ticketing is just one small part of it, and as said wouldn't need to drop drastically at SJP... just the whole common sense approach that is to be envied.

61.

Glad for Riviere, he deserves a bit of joy. ... That's about all I can say about this result.

Basically. Every performance or judgement comes with a big asterisk next to it at this point.

He annoys me slightly when he goes down and stays down too easily and starts moaning for too long. Just play, man. But clearly a lot of his deficiencies so far have more to do with the system and players around him. He's clearly a talented lad, and came alive yesterday when things got more hectic and he had movement around him. We know he has a good shot on him too, yet didn't pull the trigger in the first half despite having three good positions to unleash from. Needs a bit of confidence to kick in.

Good way of puting it.

The midfield is getting tough to pick for my lifetime as a fan Lee, Speed, Robert, Ginola, Hatem, Beardsley, Solano. Struggle to make a decision. Rest is quite an easy choice for me, no doubt over the front two of Ferdinand/Shearer.

Stop

Had a ticket for the Hull game for a while through work, will go as it could get entertaining in a slightly sad way. Staying away after that, even though half price tickets for the Liverpool and Leicester games were on offer yesterday

Griffin, O'Brien, Bramble in the Champions League The rest of that starting line up, though
