Does anyone know how the UK compares to other 'developed world' countries in terms of % of the population who can't afford to feed themselves at any given moment in time? Would be interesting to see how we compare.

Source?

1-0 City

Penalty to City

...

I floated this notion earlier so I agree that there possibly is an element of 'game raising' going on against us. And yes, we should take it as a compliment.

Aguero off injured in 5th minute. Cue a good result for Everton.

Full times... Spurs 0 Palace 0 Liverpool 0 Sunderland 0 Stoke 3 Arsenal 2 Nice.

Stoke and Sunderland both holding on....just....

I guess its a compliment that the likes of Arsenal raise their game against us and then play sh*te against the likes of Stoke

Van Gaal on his relationship with Ronald Koeman: "I think this is private." On facing Southampton: "I've read it also in the media. But do you know how much players we've lost. We have lost more players, I'm sorry." "Ronald Koeman is a very good coach so I know he can do it. It is very good." On whether it's better for Saints to have spent less money than United and to be higher: "No. Clubs ask more money from Manchester United. Do you think Southampton pay more money? NO, because it's Southampton." "I think they have a very good squad, some of whom I know. I think they are able to come in the first four. But that's also because I believe in the management, in Ronald Koeman...I believe the cohesion is good, and he can manage."

@bigadamsport: #saintsfc fans of @jackcork1 will be pleased @RonaldKoeman just told me he's let the club know he'd like to keep Cork beyond the summer

Koeman: Cork out for at least 6 weeks (ankle ligaments). Morgan is "doing well" but is not fit for Monday. Toby hasn't got a hamstring injury but is still a doubt for Monday. Tadic is OK. JWP will be back in full training at the end of next week.

I'm not getting this at all. "The club" are owned by the fans. So how come the owners of "the club" are in the dark until "the club" make a further statement? Why are they withholding information from themselves? Either you're a co-owner of the club or your not, surely? "Ours" my arse

Southampton FC LIVE: Ronald Koeman will speak to the media from 3pm GMT to preview Monday's visit of Manchester United. Watch here – ‪#‎saintsfc‬ [video=youtube_share;zeawlmIDftA]

So, you're twice as likely to cause an accident during a hands-free phone call as you are if you have the maximum legal amount of alcohol in your system. Would be interesting to see similar comparative stats for all other forms of distraction and/or lack of underlying intelligence.
