Pretty sure it's just idiots on here. From where I am sitting the season is going exactly to plan. In contention to be in the Europa post-Christmas? Yep. Hanging around mid table perfectly nicely? Yep. I'd mentally written off the League Cup in August but here we are in the quarters of that too. So against my expectations we are exceeding. I think we've all got a decent idea now of the team we'll play (Puel is smashing it on rotation, far better than RK or MP ever managed) and it'll be good enough to do the job out there.

Er, right. We're playing Saturday-Thursday-Sunday or similar most weeks now and clubs in Europe need large squads and player rotation. It's not "tinkering" It's what we have to do.

There's cutting it fine and there's cutting it fine. Good luck!

Thanks for all the PMs, they really helped me understand it all. I feel like a right expert now :-) :-) :-)

I'm just gutted about how far Stoke have fallen. They were streaking away from us and on the cusp of level two (of four) last time our Master Craftsman developed a ranking system (about eight weeks ago), now they're down among the dead men with us in a newly minted "middle pack" second league thing. Feel real bad for them. :-( :-(

There's some very special people on this forum.

Where does doddisalegend reference bedwetting? Bizarre. Personally agree that it is quite nice that the team who had all the chances, didn't take one and then dropped points is not us for a change. We gained a decent point so happy days.

I was offered a huge pay rise to work on one of those really posh French sparkling wine brands but I turned it down because I was enjoying my role at R Whites so much.

Except you hate Southampton Football Club far more than the BBC could ever do.

The sense of excitement and anticipation emanating from the Alpine region is palpable. Unless we win of course, when he will post one comment and disappear.

Disney bubble trolling. 2/10.

None of that means we sold him cheap. If Mane was a Dortmund player, he'd either be a Champions League regular, scoring goals at a higher level meaning proven to be a better player than he could prove at SFC and at a richer club than us, and at a arguably at a bigger club than Liverpool already. Or he could have been a disappointing signing in the third year of his contract and available for less than we sold him for. Who knows.

Klopp isn't saying we sold him cheap, and we didn't. Just whining saps on here say we sold him cheap. Even if he scores 55 goals this season it still doesn't mean we sold him cheap, we didn't.

Dortmund are a bigger, richer and more prestigious club than Saints and the kind of club you can jump straight to Real/Barcelona from, so probably true.

Probably a bit of both - if we had appointed, say, Puel instead then the Lallana/Lambert replacements would likely be from the French league or have some connection to him. Just like we have just happened to have started signing players from the French league now. If Les Reed suggests we would have signed Pelle and Tadic regardless of manager I say that is bullcr ap.

I think you're hearing want you want to hear.

You thought he was going to say it was a fantastic contract offer but wanted to leave anyway?

In other words he said exactly what we already know and you'd expect him to say.

He might be open about his own ambitions, Everton's place in the world, stuff about the 1994 WC qualifying campaign, Barcelona, his relationship with Jose, Van Gaal, Pep, the state of Dutch football, etc etc etc. Plenty to cover even if he doesn't mention us.

I reckon some Nazi nut jobs voted remain too, right?

I thought remoaners were gutless, lily livered snowflake generation pinko pussy wimps incapable of standing up for themselves so I'd be surprised if any one of us could even lift a Argos pen in anger, let alone a carving knife or piece of lead piping. All the weapons are definitely on the leave side.

We will not be playing any of those front line players in any stage of this competition. We're not "keeping faith with the youngsters" in this cup, it's a competition for youngsters. Nuts. Absolutely nuts.
