Ok thanks didn't spot that detail...

He must've left the club on good terms to being allowed to make such a statement, especially given the recent history of terse statements about leaving managers and players. He did the decent thing and stayed the extra year. Good luck to him - I think he'll need it!

Remember the glorious brand of one-touch football Saints played in the halcyon days of the early 80s? Technical in the utmost but also incisive like a rapier. An alternative way to deploy consummate skills as opposed to the modern tika-taka boredom, and the pressing game it invites from opposition.

The fellow is an ancient irrelevance to the modern game to boot.

Roy going on about us creating lots of chances-he is plain wrong we didn't create hardly any at all in that game

It really underlines just how magical the summer of euro 96 was

Taking Adam off was a big mistake we really died after that

Shocking when you consider we got such a lethal bunch of strikers from the Premier League

It's all so laboured

I can almost begin to sympathise with Cristiano Ronaldo after watching this

This is getting ridiculous I can see us losing by sucker punch

We are running out of puff and running out of ideas

Henderson overhitting everything all night

Clyne has been magnificent We aren't playing with a striker Sturridge is in the hole

Crouch's teeth seem to go in opposite directions to his head

Were doing well but curiously it's almost as if we don't have a striker

Bertrand won't see the light of day in England shirt again it if he's not careful

To be honest Lallana is having a good game

Adam is looking more manly with his bigger beard

Joan of Arc? OK, a woman, but French.

We are clearly waiting on this situation then. Emery would be the coup of the century, slim chance though.

Ermenegildo Zegna? HCDAJFU.

Awful passionless group stage so far. Let's hope it comes to life in the knockout.

Hahaha
