Saint Keef

Haha....Thanks for pointing that out Jonnyboy........I'll take that one on the chin.

The bidding war for Lemina will go something like this..... Newcastle: "£5m" West Ham: "£4m" Newcastle: "OK then, £3m" West Ham: "Alright then, £2m" Newcastle: "£1m and that's our final offer" Saints: "Done! It's a deal"

Les will probably say it is him and take the credit for the win anyway

Some Everton fans not happy. All is not well in the land of Dug Outs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57634872

I don't disagree with you at all Ron. I have always seen it as supporting the club. The cheaper shirts obviously offer an option to people who can't afford £55 a shirt but I do wonder if the clubs charged £30 per shirt, how many more they would sell and would it encourage those buying the "rip off" shirts to buy the official ones thereby supporting the club. I always buy an official one, but there are folk out there (and if you're having to buy for your kids as well) who simply can't afford the official ones. I'm no businessman but that just my thoughts.

It probably is, but then charging £55 (plus extra - if you want a name and number on it) for an official one that was probably thrown together in a sweat shop somewhere is probably immoral.....

Very good! Slightly off topic, but reminds me - many years ago, Charlton Athletic apparently lined up with a back-four which read.... WHITE FISH COSTA FORTUNE

Sterling looks as though he has spent the week reading "The Nathan Redmond Big Book of Football Skills".

Shit. I'm sad to see him go. Who's going to replace him in the Bambi on Ice pantomime this Christmas. Can someone drive him to Anderlecht, just in case he gets lost and ends up back here.

I know Whelk mentioned this previously. I think McCoist is a really good co-commentator. I was never a fan of his in years gone by, but he talks a lot of sense and puts it across in an entertaining way. Sky would do well to give him a contract and replace Mr "Depressing" Hinchcliffe and Mr "Jabbermouth" Carragher. Not sure about the woman co-commenting on ITV the other night though. I don't know who she was but she had the most boring voice and seemed to have all the personality of a multi-story car park. And I think another Whelk comment I have to agree with (sorry, I can't find the quotes). The referees in this tournament have been a breath of fresh air and are really showing up the clowns that we have in the Premier League. They are allowing games to flow, not stopping the game every time a player touches an opponent, by and large they are confident in their decisions and stick with them. VAR is all but invisible, but has certainly been used correctly for a couple of correct offside decisions.

That's going to ruin Jack Grealish's game plan then.

What do Wikipedia know that we don't? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romain_Perraud Does that make me ITK? (Hahahaha) (Just seen that Wiki has changed again - it was showing that he is left back for Southampton FC - it has reverted to his own club so apologies as this message now makes no sense at all and my ITK status is in tatters!!!🤣)

Looks a reasonable replacement for Shane Long tbh.

I don't think I could ever support Scotland but good luck to Stuey. Our best player this season and thoroughly deserves this. Hope Che gets some minutes as well. Che seems like very much a confidence player and if he were to bang a couple in for Scotland in this tournament it could make a big difference for us next season.

Wesley Hoedt. He can't be any worse in goal than he is as an outfield player.

"Butch and Sundance and Whitey" doesn't have the same ring about it though 😀

If he's as good as KWP we will have done very well. KWP was "streets" ahead of Bertie last season (I'm not saying Bertie wasn't a very good servant, but his energy levels seemed to dip dramatically over the past 2 seasons.....or so it appeared to me anyway)

Grealish is undoubtedly a very talented player but I genuinely find his diving an embarrassment (when in an England shirt). I hope when the Euros start there isn't a gentle breeze, or he'll spend all his time on the ground. I'm sure he'd get knocked over by a sudden gust of pollen! If for any reason he pulls out of the squad, get Tom Daley in as a replacement. I wouldn't care if he were to score the winner in a Euros final (fat chance of us being there anyway), in my eyes he would still be a grade one wanker. If he did move to City, I have a feeling Pep would put a stop to it. (Just to keep it "on Saints" topic) He was diving 2 years ago when playing Saints at St Mary's and his diving was the main topic of conversation on the concourse at half-time. I do hope the Euro refs find him out.....and if so, lets see if he stays on his feet more.

Only my opinion, but if Spurs get £150m for Kane, then every player they try to sign, they will suddenly find the price has gone up, simply because the selling clubs will know they have the money to spend and that they will be desperate to sign someone "decent" to replace Kane.

Only in the "rumour" and "Gossip" bit of BBCSport I know, but Everton may consider Stevie Gerrard as a replacement for Ancelotti. Really? I bet the Dug Out fans would welcome him with open arms. Am I the only one who thinks this would never happen in a million years?

If he'd put that early chance away in the West Ham game, I bet the feeling on here (not everyone, but quite a few) would have been completely different.......but the fact is, he didn't put it away. When you look at Willock and Lingard, those loans were brilliant (Willock probably saved Newcastle from going down......haha especially as Fulham were on such a dynamic run.......not!..... and Lingard's contribution probably got WHU into Europe). Unfortunately Min has had nowhere near the impact of those two. I saw moments of promise, but for me, not enough. But then, if he'd been as brilliant as Willock and Lingard, Liverpool would have taken him back or raised his price beyond our means......so I guess it's a "no win" situation.

Based upon our first half of the season I would have said NO! Based upon our second half of the season I would say YES.

That'll be Danny Ings' replacement sorted then.

Not sure about "blue" sky Whitey. We don't want that lot down the road claiming the sky supports them! More like all brothers and sisters under a red and white striped sky.

OK. I'm going out on an even longer limb. Everyone will love it (Haha)
