I think it's more to do with what he did at Saints, don't you?

Loan window only applies to football league clubs IIRC.

Yep, not even that long ago.

I saw a stat that only 0.2% of all corners actually result in a goal and so it makes little sense that we get so excited about them. Not sure if that's the exact number but it's similar.

Don't want to, but have to agree. He was in a great position to shoot and should have scored if he'd got a shot away. Also the dive there may have cost him the second penalty shout.

indeed he did. Bless him and his expectations of 'mixed reactions'. I bet he thought he'd be able to go off and applaud the whole ground. Nope.

Christ, what a backwards view. Ask robert enke or gary speed what they have to worry about off the pitch. They don't just get stored in a cupboard till game day you know, they're still human beings with lives, relationships and emotions. what a huge overreaction to someone simply being late.

Probably, but I doubt I'd be sent home and not made to work as punishment as that would affect the company more than me...

People started chanting for him when it was clear he wasn't coming on, which was embarrassing as we were 1-0 down and struggling to get back in the game. Still love the guy but right now my disappointment at the result far outweighs that.

Traffic? A sick child? Had to go back for his boots?

Why oh why do we refuse to play balls in behind the defence? I just don't understand it.

His biggest fan for the last 3 seasons when at Celtic. Not convinced anymore. Did nothing wrong today though as far as I could see. Having said that, 2 shots on target and 2 conceded doesn't look good on the face of it.

Said all season that he holds the ball up, links up and passes very well. However his finishing is abysmal, it takes 5-6 chances before he gets a goal and he was getting those chances earlier in the season because he was unknown. Today he was awful in every area though. Simply awful.

If you're gonna play him out wide I'd rather he stayed on the bench. We should know by now that he is ineffective out wide, and excellent through the middle.

They used to despise us after the Nzonzi red card, claiming Cork was a cheat who dived. Guess Cork has left now though so it's not really relevant.

I'll admit, i'm nervous for the first time this season.

"We can go level on points with them tomorrow" maths not Lallanas strong point then.

A lot of people blame Pochettino for "brainwashing" the players and making it feel like they had to leave once he'd gone, but from the way they talk there I think it was Cortese. They clearly felt the club was going to slide back down without him and I reckon had they known, they'd have stayed. The way we've performed this season has made an absolute mockery of all the "no ambition" comments from Rodgers and Lovren, as well as others. Quite funny though that when talking about our players this season Lallana can't bring himself to mention Pelle, Tadic and Toby...their replacements.

It's still a studs showing challenge halfway up his shin.

Sha la la la la la la la takes on a new meaning...

I agree, but the precedent is there with Routledge. Barnes could have ended Matics career with that tackle, that's something worth taking into consideration with his reaction if you ask me.

We'll never know. But we didn't. And he didn't act like a c*nt. That's what actually happened, but you can live in a world of hypotheticals if you want.

Indeed he is, misses Spurs in the final, West Ham and then us. Good spot. EDIT: Given how bad the tackle on him was though, it's possible his red card will be overturned like Routledges was earlier in the season. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2894874/Wayne-Routledge-red-card-against-QPR-rescinded-referee-blunder.html

He never kicked up the fuss Lallana did, he just requested a transfer.
