No thanks, was another good bit of business flogging him.

Not sure it matters wether we keep them or not as this summer has proved.

So they are the most successful club in English football history yet all of a sudden they are too far from london to attract players, WTF is he on about? Liverpool has always been 200 miles from london and it's always been a sh!thole. Attracting players is not the problem, it's finding the right ones when your a sh!t manager that's the problem.

Didn't the unions vote him in because David was close to Blair? Whatever the reason, it's a monumental f*ck-up. With UKIP eating away at he Tory vote and the Lib Dems as popular as genital warts this election was there for the taking for Labour.

What a load of old sh!te. Basically some nobhead journo doesn't understand football so puts it all down to luck.

All teams will drop points against so called lesser sides but fact is it is harder to pick up points against teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City - it doesn't matter who you are. I'm not saying we won't, but until we play a good team we cannot judge.

The stats might say one thing but fact is we have had a freakishly kind set of fixtures. We are a quarter of the season gone and yet to play Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Everton or Man City. In the Premier League it's as much about who you play as how you play. At the moment we are that old nag who is leading the Grand National at the 3rd fence, the one that always ends up last or face-planting at Becher's Brook. We may be the real deal but it is too early to tell.

We will have a better idea of our chances come January, at the moment we are probably in a false position due to our easy fixtures. Between 30th Nov and 10th Jan we play Man U and Arsenal twice, Man City, Chelsea and Everton. If we are still top 4 after those then I wouldn't be surprised if we strengthen in Jan.

Stayed at the Premier Inn Buchanan Gallerys when last in Glasgow, that was very central. Plus if you get one of the rooms high up you will get a great view of the riots below.

I think we will win comfortably. A good chance to put more distance between ourselves and the other Champions League contenders.

Ironically we've improved by getting rid of all the academy graduates and replacing them with better players.

We do seem to be very successful. I think a lot might be due to our catchment area, the fact that Southampton is a half decent place to send your kid, plus the size/position of the club means youngsters will get more of a chance to break through.

Lots of clubs have academys

But the cup is by far our most realistic chance of getting into Europe.

But you have never experienced winning a major trophy, how can you say it has diminished?

Did you not enjoy Wembley in 76 or going to Cardiff in 2003?

I actually agree with Turkish for once. Plenty of mongs on here were applauding Pochettino for putting out a weak team against Sunderland last year to save their legs for the hope of finishing 7th. I'm glad Koeman values the cups, that shows real ambition. It's also by far our most likely route into Europe which is how you attract and keep your best players.

Awesome

It would be easier to bulldoze White Hart Lane, enlarge the pitch, and rebuild it again than get Pochetino to change tactics.

Hopefully

God no.

First 45mins: 21:55 Attempt missed. Rickie Lambert (Liverpool) header from the centre of the box is just a bit too high following a corner. 29:03 Foul by Rickie Lambert (Liverpool). 34:51 Foul by Rickie Lambert (Liverpool). Living the dream.

That sort of thing I agree with, might as well use our warships for something other than sitting around in pompey docks getting rusty. Will be interesting to see how much we spend helping combat Ebola compared to chasing shepherds around Afganistan shooting off millions of pounds in military hardware.

Most countries in the world just leave the fighting to others, there is no reason why we should be different. WW2 is hardly relevant to today's world, it's 2014 FFS.

Definitely leave all the fighting to others.
