what's the money on Puel saying "told you he could be Southamptons Thierry Henry" about Redmond's current form?

Not really comparable to the current EU. Don't see any stories of USEAN trying to impose and Collect taxes from member countries. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/eu-commission-pushes-ahead-with-plan-to-end-unanimity-on-tax-1.3746080?mode=amp

He said the same thing in multiple ways over the last 18 months. There will be no hard border.

The hard border that Leo Varadker has said that Ireland will never ever put up. How on earth could we possibly avoid something that someone has said they will never erect? It's quite a conundrum.

The better bit comes from being out side the EU not beholden to their ludicrous rules. Other than that we negotiate for mutually beneficial deals on a case by case nature. If its not mutually beneficial, you don't bother with the deals.

The way to have left would have been to competely disconnect and negotiate back into things both parties wanted us involved in. By trying to faff around with the wires still connected is how There's May has let Olly Robbins get us into this mess. And still it is those who still want to remain under any circumstances use the strongest language they can. Its obviously because their arguments, on normal terms using standard language, would be competely ineffectual.

No. There is leaving and there is mucking about doing everything they can to not leave.

"crash" You've even gone for the dodgy terminology. Constructed because "leaving" didn't sound bad enough. We simply leave and start trading on different terms.

You vote to remain in a Union that wants to bring in Article 13. Its that kind of protectionist rubbish, proposed by an unelected commission, that will make your children worse off.

Just saw how Omar Elabdellaoui did when he was on loan at Hull for the second half of the 2016/17 season. Silva dropped him after 7 games and he wasn't in the squad again until the last match of the season. That being said. He has been ever present in Olympiakos' season and has played in the RW position too. So he may be able to be utilised easily as a rwb.

As long as hes not just coming in to support Elyanoussi as we did when we got Chala to keep Delgado company...

Romeu on 4 yellows. Hojbjerg suspended for three. Time to exercise the recall in Reeds loan?

What was your pre match prediction Saint Larf?

Its a school of pochetino / cortese formation surely? 4 2 3 1 Hojbjerg and Romeu as DMs. Lemina, mo and JWP in front of them with Charlie up front.

Echo reported on 15th December that he "should be back in just under a fortnite". So we should see training pics imminently.

Splitting hairs, but we're playing with wing backs. They're positional meant to be nearer the mids.

Plus Bednarek had just been manhandled to the ground.

I don't think Lemina was following Hasenhüttl's steps at all. Too much holding up of the ball and insecurities. West ham saw this and obviously instructed Carroll to take out Romeu. (how Targett got a yellow and Carroll didnt for his swipe at Romeu is extremely questionable). Thank goodness Hojbjerg is back at the weekend, and maybe its time to let Lemina go to Psg and get a player in the Schneiderlin mould back in.

When does Yoshida fly out for the Asian Cup? After Stephens and Hoedt, are any U23s able to step up if there are any injuries Through jan?

Found it interesting that Hasenhuttl said in his long Skysports interview after Arsenal that most of the players did what he asked. I'm presuming he meant Targett?

Players average positions like like a perfect formation set up. Hasenhüttl certainly got to them What a result.

Personal choice would be...

I'm not sure how anyone can have read the article on the official web site and not think Romeu is the first name on the team sheet. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-12-15/tactical-watch-oriol-romeu-saints-vs-arsenal-premier-league-1819

Very promising quote from https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11581392/ralph-hasenhuttl-gets-a-round-in-as-southampton-seek-home-comforts Injured players have not escaped the 51-year-old's meticulous planning, with left-back Ryan Bertrand sent training videos to watch during his recovery from a back operation which will keep him sidelined for around a fortnight. "It went well and I wrote to him yesterday wishing him all the best," said Hasenhuttl. "We sent him all the training session videos that we made this week so that he can imagine what will change now in his position or what we are asking from [him] in the future."

most definitely you.
