Tiresias

He will want champions league football. I hope we will be able to refuse any offers this summer coming up but if we aren't there yet season after it will be tempting to cash in if he wants to go. I hope we can convince him to spend a substantial bit of his career here but he isn't here to settle for Europa league. It will be terrible if he does go one day, but the trick will be keep identifying these exciting players and keep building the squad. Ideally his replacement should be in at least a window before he goes.

There is a subsection of media and rabid liverpool fans who are absolutely livid someone would suggest another player may be better suited to a different system than using a TAA who is clearly low on confidence and making a lot of defensive errors. The England thing is insane because clearly Reece James is playing better and has been for some time, Kyle Walker is probably best defensively and Trippier is all round, is a leader on the pitch and also a set piece threat. It's no great mystery why TAA would be a squad member not an automatic starter and yet it is somehow inflated into being a scandal

that spurs away top might be my least favourite of season

While they have said they won't move it (100% agree) got to imagine some discussion of a total ground up rebuild isn't unlikely i just hope it isn't generic modern stadium sleek spaceship thing

Me too though at least we'll sell him for 100m+ and buy 3 more brunos with it rather than money disappearing lol

I remember seeing news about the bein sports thing being sorted, thinking oh wonder if that will affect us but assumed would probably still take months if anything happened. I then finished work, and had the next day off to go see the Manic Street Preachers with other toon supporting mate, went out for meal with his parents and we were all sit eating in this posh restaurant checking twitter constantly. Madness... And to think I was still convinced we were going to go down right up till March really so much pessimism drilled in

Truly a golden age for comedy

Let's not sink the lad with outlandish expectation so we're all disappointed when he's not eerling haaland lol

"Cool"

Maradonna should be flicking Vs at the screen, it's what he would have wanted

have they thought about a sack of potatoes? Or really any inanimate object will be an improvement

i honestly think pep is privately really annoyed at having to play haaland, all his fancy tactics and formation tweaks and attacking patterns and it's all basically pointless now just hit it at haaland, if opposition sit deep launch it at haaland, if they push up knock balls behind for haaland he will always be there it's soooo easy I genuinely think he may have gone fuck it lets just have fun and don't care if we concede anymore

It's like he got beat by a worse real Madrid team who just scored lots of mad goals and thought aaah that's the future defenders you don't need to try much now

Gotta love pep abandoning all his team's prior control this season to just go full we will score way more than you

Rail strike mind

Man u fan had sunk into quiet depression so had just gone to toilets to do a line i suspect

In a pub sat nearest the angriest man u fan you will meet screaming at the screen at players to break city players legs and just called a player f****t joy

Dreadful stuff

Does this southampton team have a record number of double barrelled surnames?

having said that plays like this more I will be fucking delighted

I really like miggy he seems so positive but he scored 1 goal last season like. he does so much so well but he needs to get more assists and more goals before you can really complain about him not being rated

Hmm Mitrovic clearly has oodles of talent, but i have no qualms with how he was treated with us, he had plenty of chances and couldnt hit a fucking barn door. He clearly has plenty of ability but he underperformed for us

brightons new manager is nowhere near stylish enough to be italian, he needs to up his game

I still think younger cabaye was really really good. I think he declined quite quickly and as much as it hurt when he left he was already past his best and his Palace days he was just a clogger (i was in st james when he did the most blatent red card challenge on one of our players and ref ignored it, was ridiculous) Bruno is better, way more mobile and off the cuff but Cabs was really fucking good. when we finished 5th.
