Thanks.

That makes no sense. If his username was Paranoid or Paranoiac, then it would. But hypochondria has nothing to do with believing conspiracies or thinking everyone is out to get you. And anyway, he was right - not a single person on this thread thinks that Mike Dean disallowed the goal as part of some personal vendetta against SFC. Everyone just thinks that he realised almost straight away he'd cocked up the corner decision, didn't want to be seen to go back on it and then as the ball went into the net shat himself and gave a foul for the absolute slightest of contacts. Please do tell me where exactly we should look to find the foul that was given? I can see Lovren and Wanyama basically resting their hands on Swansea players arms, but if that's what we're giving as fouls now then there should be penalties given every single time the ball is in the box. It's just jostling for position, unless you suggest players keep their arms rigidly at their sides and just swing their bodies at each other like giraffes fighting over a female.

Well he definitely isn't a defensive midfielder. He's got the technique, he can strike a ball well and with precision, all he needs to learn is the composure and positioning to be able to hit the target.

Stand by my Frank Lampard comparison, has all the qualities of a goalscoring midfielder IMO. Important to remember that he is only 18.

I think people are being quite harsh on his touch.

By the way, we broke our no goals scored in the first half duck, Lallana and Rodriguez both got long overdue goals and Lallana completed a full 90 for the first time this season.

I'm not saying anything about my hopes/expectations, but when exactly are people allowed to start talking about europe? 10 games in? 20? 5 games from the end?

It's no coincidence to me that Rodriguez' best performance of the season came whilst he was actually playing up front. He's a striker, not a winger.

Pretty much exactly the same quote spun the completely opposite way.

He shows fantastic commitment on the field tbh. I'd like to know where the Daily Star have got those quotes from that no other newspaper has picked up.

I thought it was atrocious up until last half an hour.

Guly had a 100% pass completion rate when he came on.

Can't be, otherwise there would have been patches of fans sat everywhere.

This. If you know you've got it wrong, overturn the decision.

I'm guessing if we lose just one of those, it will suddenly be impossible?

3rd in my dream team league, the person in second has Lukaku, the person top has Negredo. I've got Baines and Barkley

Lukaku was 9-1 first goalscorer today.

Agreed. I eat absolute sh*t, but if I had half of his talent I would do everything in my power to get in top condition.

Can't see Tranmere scoring at Swindon mate.

I'd have thought not smoking would be an obvious basic rule of being a professional athlete.

Benjamin Cull, a defender apparently.

On the one hand i think this is none of our business, on the other he's tweeted it so i think he wants saints fans to see it.

Not sure about that. I think the season they won the title he was up there with Casillas and Neuer, but he hasn't hit those heights since.

Jedinak is Australian, nothing ground breaking there. I'd say Viduka earns a place before he does, or Harry Kewell.

Actually thinking about it, Lallana could feel hard done by given the lack of width in that squad.
