Had this on my list to watch for a long time now, seeing the recommendations on this thread i'll give it a go as soon as i've finished watching Sherlock (for the first time). I generally enjoy skipping shows when they first come out and coming back to them years later, not only do you not have to wait for new series to be released but it means there's a constant backlog of "classics" that you can almost guarantee you will enjoy.

The last competent, attacking minded coach we had was Koeman and he oversaw Longs best season for us so far.

My missus is an Arsenal fan and was desperate for them to sign Fekir on the cheap instead of Zaha, looking at that fee I might try and hide the news from her. Screw it, at under £18million we should have been taking a look - crazy to think if we hadn't bought Carillo we could have bought Fekir this summer.

This is why I keep thinking Long will have his best season yet for us, especially given how his attributes fit with the high press and his finishing as looked much, much better in pre-season. Ralph even specfically mentioned how they were working on Longs finishing.

Certainly seems a bit disjointed, with the start of the season only just round the corner.

Well enlighten us then instead of this nudge nudge wink wink ********. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Unless we've invited scouts to come watch him. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I think the absolute pinnacle of what we could achieve without massive overhaul to the game in general is a Europa League win. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Another thing that annoyed the hell out of me - shortly after they mentioned the meeting with Southampton city council regarding land development, Blackmore asked the floor if there were anymore questions for the boardroom level. Perfect opportunity to ask what the meeting was about, what the ideas are for development, how likely they are etc but nobody said a damn thing. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I was encouraged to hear that Gao fell in love with the area 10 years ago, then thought if that were true he would have probably learnt more than "about 10 words of English". Seems there's a bit of embellishing going on with regards to his motivation. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Some really interesting points, other than the woman who seemed like she had too much to drink and asked "if you had unlimited funds who would you sign". Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Damn it, I wanted him. Brilliant player. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

How are we not showing loyalty? All we've said is he isn't in our plans and should look for another club. If he doesn't want to well then we still pay his wages for the duration of the contract. Clubs show loyalty at the start by offering the long contract on big wages, players show loyalty by sticking to what the contract says - unless both parties agree they can move.

Whilst earning £40,000 a week before bonuses? Absolutely. I'd be over the moon. If I got offered £160,000 a month to move to Birmingham for 4 years my family and friends would all shout at me to **** off up north asap. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Marseille I assume, no way he's going back to Juve. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

That was the last minute equaliser in the 2-2 game with Pompey in the championship for me. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Link isn't working but the only thing I find when googling is an article from 3 years ago? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Messed up the big chance for Mali to equalise at the end, standing on the ball at the edge of the box when a good touch would give him a free shot. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

We refused to give our most successful prem era manager 7 million to keep him, I doubt we offered 6 million to a relatively unknown quantity (in prem terms). Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Both were good players for us at the time so not sure why we're poking fun at them (if that's what this is), but taking it seriously Powell all day long, played at a far higher level than Trotman, was taller and better in the air so much more likely to clear the ball away.

Indeed, he could go there and be an absolute class above winning player of the season. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Is that testing the machine that goes BLEEP over the swear words that people shout at him? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

After watching that video I am revising my opinion, some very good finishes there after all and he certainly does have a very good ability to hit the corners of the goal. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I remember the plans on here to set up a phoenix club ready for the next season, things got that bad. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Adkins always used to praise Watson when we scored creative freekick routines saying that he was the one who came up with them, maybe he'll be specficially a set piece coach.
