Cheers - Interesting stats - although, they don't tell us anything about infrastructure levels. What would be really interesting is a table/graph that shows 'country population density' vs 'infrastructure provision'. So, for example, does a country that is twice as densely populated as another have twice as many schools, hospitals, doctors, etc

Yep, because that's the only factor players consider when looking at the next move in their career...

Lambert on. Cue winning penalty coming up...

He said he's "not worried" in the sense that he's confident that he and the team can turn it around

Ben Fisher ‏@benfisherJ At Staplewood to speak with Ronald Koeman pre-WBA. Jay Rodriguez was out doing strength training in the rain upon my arrival. #saintsfc

If it's as fruitful as the last "sh*t summer" then bring it on I say...

I guess they might try and squeeze a disparaging quote about referees out of him

Fair point, but he'll also be wary about the consequences of picking up a significant injury in the lead up to any impending deal so, subconsciously at least, he may think twice (more so than usual) about going in for a 50/50 tackle (for example). Fine margins and all that. Probably over-analysis on my part but that hasn't stopped me thinking out loud on an internet football forum before

Shame, not least because it means he won't be 100% mentally focused on Saints during the run in. (human nature and all that)

Why is unleaded petrol called unleaded petrol instead of just 'petrol' these days?

Or that he's still not "full training" fit However, on the assumption he's fully fit, I'd go for.... ------------------------ Forster ---------------------------- -------Fonte ------- Alderweireld ------ Yoshida--------- Clyne --------------------------------------------- Bertrand ------------Wanyama ------- Schneiderlin ---------------- ----- Mane ------------- Long -------------- Djuricic ----- Subs: K.Davis, Targett, Tadic, S.Davis, JWP, Elia, Pelle

This. The initial wide angle view on that footage highlights this best because the close-ups don't show the context of what happened. It's simple....Barnes gets the ball in space and then tries to pass it to his team mate up ahead of him. As he goes to pass the ball Matic steams in and plants his leg where Barnes' natural follow through ends up. Nothing to see here...

Seems like a fair assessment to me.

You know you're #tinpot when..... "Fans cheer win" makes headline in local rag... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/video-fans-cheer-pompey-after-thrilling-win-1-6599084

Is it just me or would it be more amusing for them to make the playoffs and get knocked out rather than their season drift into mid table obscurity?
