F*cking b*llocks. The bias of some of you cretins is unreal. JWP is having a good game. Get the f*ck over it.

What has Hojberg been then, as JWP has been much better than him.

Great interception from WARD PROWSE.

Yeah. Like the early one that put Long through. Christ, some people. How was that not a booking for the foul on VVD?

Yes, quite a bit. Been better than Hojberg.

Great pass from Redmond there.

Plays midweek, benched next sunday, fully fit to play midweek V Liverpool again...

We hear this every time with every player...

Only way it'll happen is if safe standing is introduced in the Chapel end.

Meh, that's actually a better ratio than I thought.

Just checked skybet and despite having slashed Evertons odds, they've tucked away at the bottom the odds on him to stay at Saints - 1/4. Strange that it's at the bottom when usually they put the favourite outcome first! Anyway, if they actually knew anything, the odds on Saints keeping him would be a lot longer to get people to bet on it.

Where are those prices from though? If Skybet ignore it, they regularly report news pieces and deliberately slash odds to get people to bet heavy on stuff.

Yeah, it's not exactly something to worry about - no team will have more successful crosses than unsuccessful.

At worst he'll be on the bench, he's not going to throw him straight in after playing one day, travelling back from Africa the next and then having the game V us the day after. With no training/tactical prep for the game as well. He'll be on the bench. What is senegals group by the way? Good chance of going through?

Well we need to give you something to moan about if we lose.

How many times do clubs actually get asset stripped in football? Football clubs don't make you much money year on year, as a business investment they're high risk and low reward.

Hopefully he's sh*t for 6 months, gets Koeman the sack and then plays out of his skin for the next manager.

Good.

I'd rather he didn't, if he's a disruptive influence right now. Virgil seemed much better as captain, much more vocal and shouting out instructions to everyone.

"I hope his dad and his family are in tears..." Bloody hell, didn't phrase that very well did he... It was touching, but i'll admit to being surprised the club did those tributes at half time. I thought the point of having the "all saints day" was so that they didn't have to risk looking insensitive by doing tributes for one person and not another.

Are there any proven goalscorers at struggling championship clubs this year? The only striker I've noticed that I wanted us to sign from there was Gayle, but he won't be cheap by any means...and he only just signed for Newcastle anyway. Sam Gallagher has 9 goals for struggling Blackburn...just saying.

Hopefully not as much rotation as normally but some is needed, especially given the shift they put in tonight. Forster Cedric Yoshida VvD McQueen Romeu Hojberg Davis Tadic Rodriguez Long Redmond and Bertrand were both f*cked in the last 10 minutes today.

This and the JPT my only two.

Not that simple though is it. Who's going to be selling a goalscorer in january for anything that isn't extortionate? We don't pay huge fees that can't be recouped.

Indeed. I think the FA should bring in officials from the NFL and rugby authorities and completely overhaul the system to be honest. Compared to most other sports the decisions you get in football are horrifically bad.
