Mane screws up all our attacks

Saints nearly unlocked the door again

Lovely move

I think we will win, and in doing so, hammer another few nails in Van Gaal's coffin.

Norwich not looking healthy at all. Villa gone. Newcastle will stay up quite easily in the end. 3rd relegatees will be Swansea. Outside chance of Chelsea, you never know...

magnificent

be so funny to see Chelsea relegated

No - he'll be subject to £45M bids from Van Gaal

Sorry to be a grammar pedant but the apostrophe is in the wrong place on item 5 as surely the sentence is in the plural, and should be Other Clubs' Transfer Policies. In other words, the transfer policies of the other clubs. Otherwise, jolly good article - thank you.

Thank God for that.

It would seem to make sense. Mourinho too toxic for ManU now. Pep to City so that's no good. Klopp made a mistake I think he's already secretly regretting in going to Merseyside but is stuck there for now. And what schadenfreude to see Levi's face as Spurs are, in turn like us, dumped.

The clincher was his sheepish, guilty-as-sin look immediately after.

yes much more a penalty than so many you see these days. Total deliberate h-b Pierce saying it was harsh FFS

Where there is talent, let us make money; whereever there is a Dutchman languishing, let us give him a home; and where there is ambition, let it be realised on Merseyside

Why have we not got a "Mission Statement" to go with our 5 Year Plan and Southampton Way? A glaring omission, reflects badly on the Board. Might have arrested our slide if the team could read a stirring, inspirational Mission Statement before every game.

Walk? He's going to be fired if what we read on the post match thread is correct, and it is from a reliable source.

Sounds like Koeman won't see out January. So, who will replace?

Where's Cortese when you need him?

Quite. The giddy heights of the first few months of Koeman's reign has bought him an an unusually long piece of rope. Looks more and more like he surfed on the wave of Poch's achievements.

If the Cortese regime were still in power they would have pulled the trigger by now.

All is not well, that has been evident for a good while now. Board and Koeman friction, and Koeman in turn losing elements of the dressing room.

Subjectively, the victims might not feel a difference in the level of offence experienced. But in hate crime the law sees the 'hate' aspect as aggravating. Many victims might also agree that the 'hate' aspect aggravates the offensiveness. Don't shoot the messenger.

Where did I say that? I am simply explaining the difference between a hate crime and a non-hate crime. Unlike you I am not hell bent on point-scoring over fellow posters.

^ I guess that would just be plain old being very rude, insensitive and offensive to individuals affected by a tragedy. Rather like, say, taking the **** out of relatives of Zeebrugge Ferry victims would be? Police might arrest you for using "threatening or insulting words or behaviour" or something like that but would struggle to make out it was a hate crime in the Hillsborough example, but could in the Spurs example.
