Possibly a special train put on for Saints fans to get back then? We can dream.

Trouble is they've brought in these big rule changes a fair few times - remember when penalties had to be retaken if you stuttered in the run up? - they enforce it for a while then just let it slip. Hopefully they keep it going, a rugby-like respect for the referee might see more people wanting to become one and up the talent pool.

I was on my phone and the UEFA page wouldn't load properly.

The dates for group stage games are set in stone, right? They're on wikipedia already. Games don't get moved or anything? Always on a thursday?

Sigurdsson would still be my dream signing for this window.

It works out around £260k a week I believe.

Yeah Austin has already been a bit selfish and poor in his link up with us, which has led to Long in particular getting incredibly p*ssed off when he's in a better position but Austin shoots. Hoping we sign someone to fill Pelles role to be honest. We need that option.

You're thinking of the Bradley Wright-Phillips/Torres comparison made by Poortvliet. He also compared Lee Holmes to Arjen Robben.

Is it just me or does it look like Fonte is giving Ronaldo a good rogering right there?

Did Fonte forget to pick up his medal?

"Cristiano Ronaldos team" ffs.

Different circumstances. Was Sissoko playing like this for Newcastle all season? Hopefully he keeps this form going when he comes back.

Didn't want us to keep Mane then?

We don't even know that's what's happening. I for one am almost 100% sure we're signing more than two players this transfer window. I reckon we'll end up seeing four match day squad players brought in (if Pelle leaves). Three if not.

Or it could be a bit "you never win anything with kids". It's still very early anyway - Euros aren't even over yet. Lets see what position we're in come the first game of the season. (Even then we might not know for sure...wasn't Mane signed after the first game?)

Cedric was poor a lot of last season, and Martina was very good in the latter stages. Lets not rewrite history.

So are all other games up till the end of september "safe" then?

Christ that sentence is a mess. I still can't figure out what it is you're actually saying.

People complain about us looking like Sunderland and Stoke last season, we have a kit that makes us stand out a bit this year and people still complain. I really like it.

Everton

Worth remembering youth players normally come from nowhere. Bale, Shaw, Ox, JWP, none were widely talked about as having huge potential before being in the first team. I think we've got some very good talent tucked away that's going to surprise us.

What has Sterling done to justify being in ahead of Vardy ffs.

Is Ryan Bertrand in charge of keeping Van Dijk at the club then?

Liverpool for f*ck sake.

No-one dismisses anything, just disagrees. "What will happen" as we're told repeatedly is actually usually the worst case scenario. Which of course, COULD happen. Lets work together and make sure it doesn't, shall we? It we still end up leaving the EU, surely you would rather be wrong than right?
