But you said it was media ****? So did it happen or not?

Southampton reported Liverpool to the FA and they issued a grovelling, humilating apology for something that hasn't happened? You really sure about that?

So you don't believe VVD wants to go to Liverpool but then go on to talk about him sulking and you start laughing at Liverpool? If it is all "media *****" that you don't believe then what is VVD going to be sulking about and what are you laughing at Liverpool for?

Why don't we show AMBITION and recruit Gordon Strachan as manager IMMEDIATELY?

Apparently there's been a new twist in the search for Maddie, and also Princess Diana is still dead.

It's the Express and Alex Crook - no actual new info, just a speculative punt that it will happen tomorrow/during the week. The newspaper equivalent of this forum's very own speculator AR-10. It's pretty obvious he has gone, just a matter of time before it's announced.

We will have to see. There isn't a Labour party not run by an absolute cretin available to me so I am struggling as I have already said. I live in a seat with 12k Tory majority so my vote is worthless so I will most likely make a small contribution to Caroline Lucas's vote share and subsequent funding. The only thing I know for certain is I won't vote Tory or Corbyn.

As I said. Own your choice.

So it was exactly what I heard then. Clear.

So you say you want Diane Abbott but are desperately leaping on the flimsiest, vaguest throwaway comment from Corbyn as proof that she won't get the job, and that the prospect of Diane Abbott as Home Secretary is something that has to be "taken seriously". But you don't not want her. Odd, to say the least.

Can you share those comments so we can see what he said because I think all I remember him saying was a vague platitude about how he will appoint his shadow cabinet when the time comes. What did he say that shows he was taking people's comments seriously?

Try owning your choice then. You want Corbyn, you get Diane Abbott as home secretary. Own it.

So what are you saying? Vote Corbyn and we might get someone else as home secretary? In other words, vote Corbynism but fingers crossed if he wins it might get watered down. You might as well vote Tory.

Tory majority of about 60. Labour will grow their vote share driven by the "pile it high" strategy they've employed, touring round already Labour strongholds, preaching to the converted - 10k turn up at a rally in the north-east? What a hero. Easier to pile on 5k votes there than get similar numbers of votes to try and swing an actual Midlands marginal where he goes down like a bucket of cold sick. UKIP will troop to the Tories and May will have an easy-ish night despite a complete balls up of a campaign. She will prove just how easy it is to beat Corbyn. Lib Dems will be looking for a new leader on Friday. Being that 20% of their parliamentary party will have already been leader it'll be a pretty narrow pool.

It's definitely racist to say she's an effing moron.

With VVD it did feel like we'd hit peak CB but Toby felt pretty irreplaceable too. I'd like to think we are replacing both VVD and Gardos/Fonte to give us four front line CBs so that gives us two goes to get it right - a £8m ish one and a £15m ish one who I would like to think is Samedo.

Choosing Liverpool over City and especially Chelsea feels completely insane to me. Why go to a second tier elite club when he could go to a real one? And selling yet another player to Liverpool is something of a gut punch to Saints fans yet again but not a surprising one. Oh well, we have a fine record on recruiting centre backs so here we go again.

Austin's missus has come up with a "simple misunderstanding but with HILARIOUS consequences" cover story so implausible that it wouldn't be out of place in an 1980's sitcom starring Windsor Davies and Nigel Havers. Fair play to the honourable members of this forum that have swallowed it. The papers fair enough, it's just a bit of clickbait churnalism but hats off Saintswebbers.

I've no idea where you get this reputation as a insular computer game geek with absolutely no grasp of human behaviour.

Blimey. It's pretty obvious what that tweet meant. There is only one type of cheating that would result in a tweet like that. The fact they have kids explains why she quickly deleted it.

It's sickening how every other club in the League has four or five 20-goal-a-season strikers to hand and here we are are with none. Just get two in FFS it's so easy Les FFS etc etc.

I can only apologise for wasting everybody's time with this.

So you're not saying he is poor but anyone saying he is good is basing it on nothing at all. Glad you've cleared that up.

If Tuchel was such as great coach then why didnt those players like him?

This is all jolly fascinating but absolutely nothing to do with the topic I was addressing. People can want Puel to leave, as I do, but they can do that without being a tw at about it and sneering at how he can't possibly be a good coach when his career, including a highly respectable year in England, proves that he is clearly competent at worst and excellent at best as he has been in France. I want Puel to leave but that doesn't mean the children on this forum can come out with snidey horsesh it about "if he was such a great coach..". He clearly is, on any measure, anywhere.
