Pretty sure they paid nearly all the Mane fee up front although that is definitely a rarity for any big transfers.

Seated or standing? Are they allowed to squash in or lay on top of each other? Do they have to maintain social distancing?

It was lead story on BBC News just now. The noise level bit is quite interesting because it gives powers to prevent a protest if anyone could be disturbed by the noise. Whether that's a good thing or not is open for debate. Absolute idiots in Bristol, hope that anyone involved in injuring an officer or damaging police property is arrested and charged.

What sort of team throws away a 3 goal lead at half time? You wouldn't see us doing that sort of thing.

People who do that are like literally totes annoying.

Yes they were talking to them. No they shouldn't have dragged them to the floor and cuffed them. There were loads of people not socially distancing that evening and breaking covid restrictions but they didn't arrest everyone. If they'd acted differently then it wouldn't have made the news and there wouldn't have been such a negative response. The Met has a very tough time with public perception anyway and this sort of thing certainly doesn't help that. All officers are taught to weigh up situations using Betari's Box and the National Decision Model and abide by the principles in the Code of Ethics which says the following: "I will only use force to the extent that it is necessary, proportionate and reasonable in the circumstances." "I will behave in a manner which does not undermine public confidence in policing." "You should ask yourself whether a particular decision, action or omission might result in members of the public losing confidence in the policing profession." My argument is that in this case it was not. That's my perspective. Anyway, that's me done on this conversation. Weston, you should come over to the main board and talk about Saints sometime, because it's pretty strange that we're on a football forum but all I see you do is post in here.

They've won 2 in 19 or something, if they carry on like that they'll be lucky to be within 3 points of Fulham before that game.

That's the worst, most overused phrase on the internet at the moment. Are you going to tell someone they've been ratioed next?

He returned today and lost the massive idiot.

This is the one that doesn't look great. They are just sat there and then get wrestled to the floor. We know that happened to the redhead because we've all seen the pictures.

They should be prosecuted as if they were a normal member of the public, the law is no different for a serving officer. The difference is they are more likely to get sacked than if they say, worked in an office or a shop or whatever.

Big turn out for an anti lockdown protest in London today. Lots of people not socially distancing, no masks. Will be interesting to see if there were any arrests.

No link between Sholing and Pompey that I'm aware of. I go and watch Sholing a fair bit and my son plays for the U15's and I've never heard anyone mention anything about that. Silverlake did sponsor their stadium a few years ago but don't anymore. All the main sponsors are Southampton companies.

Pity there wasn't more time left because someone would have properly clattered him.

Did N'Lundulu win some sort of competition to become a footballer?

There's a starman playing on the right His name is Nathan Redmond and he's fucking dynamite

Redders again! 2 goals and and assist he's basically the best player in the world.

Fuck VAR

Great finish!

Hoddle was right. Redmond causing them problems up front.

He just made me orgasm.

FUCKING HELL I LOVE YOU REDMOND

You might want to edit that you plum

That was actually a fucking great bit of play from Redmond and a nice finish from Djenepo.

Legendary assist from Redmond!
