1) We need four senior centre backs, they will all get game time so I'd rather we do all we can to keep Vestergaard. If he were to leave he'd need replacing. 2) Tella came on for Ings and played as a striker. Ings remains the better player.

You have to go back a long time to before they existed. Parachute payments have been around for 15 years!

No I didn't say that. I'm puzzled why you have twisted my words into thinking I did.

1) I didn't accept that. If the sample size was small... like Bournemouth's 5 seasons, then you would have a point. But 44 of the last 55 years for Saints in the top flight is a colossal sample size. You can't fluke your way to 44 of the last 55 years in the top flight by not being a club of a decent size. 2) You've named some trophies a handful of clubs won 40 to 50 years ago. That doesn't really help you. Of those teams only Villa have been a top flight team longer than us. Ipswich, Forest and Derby winning a trophy due to good management doesn't really mean much. We were only 3 points off winning the top league in 1984.

Nope, you clearly haven't understood any of it and twisted what I said into something else entirely.

22 goals in 64 league games is pretty good, especially as his second season was for a team that finished 20th.

You can't fluke your way to 44 of the last 55 years in the top flight by not being a club of a decent size. 2) We've averaged circa 30,000 every Premier League season at St Mary's 3) Regarding stadium capacity... St Mary's is the 17th biggest club ground in England, so it is in the top 20 4) A similar sized club being 2 leagues below doesn't mean you should be below your current level. That is a flawed point.

No he isn't. A club that has spent 44 years out of 55 in the top flight is clearly one of the size where being in the league isn't a fluke. Far too big a sample.

Southampton have been in the top flight for 44 of the last 55 years, but co-commentator Efan Ekoku thinks they "have done well for a club of their size to be in the top league for the last 10 years". 🙄

That article contains the quote from Hasenhuttl... "they were absolutely not unhappy". So where in the article is the telling off?

343 with Redmond and Walker-Peters as wing back when in possession, 4222 when not in possession.

More likely to be the reverse. We pay Liverpool extra in fees if he doesn't play.

A loan with a view to buy is what the article claims the intention is by Saints.

He's behind you!

No he didn't.

Appointing one more person to the existing staff in the department doesn't mean it isn't already underway.

I'd rather we keep our best keeper.

If he blocks the movement of an opponent then the the offence is obstruction, not him being offside.

In your example he'd only be offside if interfering with the keeper's line of sight if the ball was coming towards the keeper. In which case he would be near the ball.

@Gingeletiss That is not what the offside rule is. A player can't be offside if the ball is no where near them. Scott Dann with the assist and Benteke with the goal were clearly onside, what any other Palace players did was irrelevant as the ball was not near them.

It was given as a free kick which they missed, not a penalty.

I gave dates 🤗

The war of 1756 to 1763 was a global war.

No, none of that happened.
