Alan irvine what's he up to nowadays?

In all honesty they've taken a decent premise and gone the wrong way about it. All this will do in it's current form is increase the gulf in spending power between teams in europe and teams outside.

As above, fair enough for having a go, but trying to fit that into the tune you suggested has given me a headache

I like how they're using the fact they kept Suarez quiet as proof that they will be able to beat us. Pretty sure we did the same?

For some reason I just picture it being Lallana.

I will enjoy any wins after safety is confirmed just as much as those before. Seasons like this (and hopefully those coming up) are the reward for those of us that sat through all the sh*t.

What an idiot.

If davis had crossed for lambert after ramirez backheeled it, and rodriguez had placed his shot a half inch lower than he did in the first half, we'd all be saying what a great game ramirez had with a big part to play in two goals.

We're as likely to go down as Man United.

Disallowed, then given, the disallowed again apparently.

You sound like Niall Quinn...how would it have been deserved if that penalty was given? He got the ball.

They airbrushed the old watch sponsor out of the picture.

Swansea, Stoke, Arsenal for me.

Les Reed.

Said it a bit too quickly, sounded like a standard response to me.

Gtfi

Legsofwood coming on.

Never a penalty.

I had a feeling about Lambert getting a hattrick today...

Very happy with that, those middle three hopefully will interchange. I can see Ramirez giving them a torrid time...don't be surprised to see us get a penalty today. Have to say that Adkins interview was exact carbon copy of everything he ever said at Saints, you can understand reports that training was getting stale etc.

I sometimes think refs have laid big on number of cards given by how harsh or lenient they can be.

I can't see a quote from Adkins that tallies with what's in the OP to be honest. He says about being respectful, but that there is ruthlessness when it comes to managers in football...now we all agree that Cortese hasn't shown anywhere near enough respect for what he did, but I think it's fair to say Pochettino has shown nothing but respect for his predecessor.

Ticket prices will go up by £3 more than already planned, then. But for some reason we won't get people complaining about it anymore.

I actually think that's pretty poor odds for a result like that (I assume you mean 1-4, by the way, not for Reading to win).

Pretty sure they're not allowed to move the last two weekends so no team can claim unfair advantage?
