Standard Barkley. Decent turn but no real thought of anything but going on a run and scoring a wonder goal. Which always results in a Lallana-style shot into the advertising boards.

England are miles behind technically. Clumsy on the ball when pressed, slow to move the ball, movement isn't good enough. We'll get taken apart by decent teams in major tournaments.

Not a chance in hell we'll win the next 8 games. Not a single side in the league is capable of that sort of form this season.

3+1+3+1+1+0 = 9. You're less pessimistic than you thought!

So, international break and 2 weeks without any meaningful football. 14 points from the last 18 available with some brilliant performances and a couple of dodgy ones but picking up points. Swansea (H) 3-1 W Chelsea (A) 3-1 W Leicester (H) 2-2 D Liverpool (A) 1-1 D B'mouth (H) 2-0 W S'land (A) 1-0 W Next 6: Stoke (H) Man City (A) Villa (H) Palace (A) Spurs (H) Arsenal (H) 4 home games left this side of New Year but some tricky fixtures. I'd take 10 points if offered now, especially if 3 were at the expense of Spurs.

VVD is an absolute monster. Will get a bollocking from Ron though for charging forward on 90+3 then losing the ball and getting caught out of position but that was a brilliant performance from him. Victory for football.

We'll shock everyone by playing well for fully 70 minutes, before letting them back in by sitting too deep and inviting pressure. Hoping for 3 goals before that point. VvD to score and get MOTM. Sunderland 1-3 Saints

It still annoys me that he even attempted those tactics in Denmark. Even with the limited squad I think that if we'd have played 4 at the back and tried to play football then we'd have been too good for them.

Boro at home please

Thought we were pretty poor first half. Villa were too but we looked like we would let them in on the break, we weren't using the ball well. Played some lovely stuff second half though. Yoshida getting into nosebleed territory then slamming it in the bottom corner, and Pelle's goal was a beauty. Great assist from Tadic. Decent win but Villa at home was probably the easiest draw going. The championship sides left in at least have some form and a bit of a buzz going on around them. Got to play better next round. Boro at home please.

Villa are sh*t but we're not giving them enough to think about. Too many changes for me.

We've had some dismal days there to be fair! I Remember the game there in the Burley days when we let their f*cking keeper equalise in injury time.

This along with Spurs away is the game I want us to win most this season. Would love to ruin the big Klopp Anfield debut.

Not to mention that Martina is f*cking terrible. I doubt we'll see him in the 18 much this season

It'll probably be someone that most of us have never heard of.

Yep

Shame that, I was really enjoying how average they've become. Surely they'll improve without him.

I hope Liverpool stick with Rodgers, he's doing a fantastic job of spunking all of their cash and winning f*ck all. Can't see him lasting though.

Yep. Get Mane over that side of the pitch as well at times and we'll cause problems. --------------Stek Cedric - Fonte - VvD - Bertrand -----Wanyama - Romeu JWP-----------------------Tadic ----------------Mane ----------Pelle Or Davis for JWP, sitting in front of the midfield 2 with Tadic left and Mane right. Got to get at them either way

Wouldn't happen if all teachers were armed and trained with assault rifles. More guns is the answer.

I look up the Portsmouth result now and then for laughs, that's about it.

No thanks. One of the least intelligent footballers I've watched. His pace gets him out of trouble a lot of the time but that won't last forever. He looks ok going forward, usually until he tries to put the ball in the box, and defensively he's a liability IMO. Reckless in the challenge. Anyway, he gets a bit of game time for Spurs which can only be good for everyone else, and I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in selling anyone to us.

This.

Lower season ticket prices Subsidise away ticket prices and take up the full allocation in most cases. Get proper beer on the concourses Stop playing music in the stadium, pre-match, half time, after goals. No need. Buy up and develop the aggregates businesses - decent bars & restaurants. Some good ideas above but I went for some easy and realistic ones. Well, completely unrealistic considering where modern football is going, but they'd be easy enough to achieve if the club wanted to.

FFS. Someone have a word
