My post was tongue in cheek and was responding both to The Kraken saying "We have mostly always been an immigrant race" and hypochondriac saying "applied through the proper channels". All I did is list some of the many groups of people who have been amalgamated into the general population over the last few thousand years and point out they did apply to move. You have imagine I was answering something I wasn't answering and completely failed to comprehend it. Whether the video is from 2013 or 2020 or if you find Stewart Lee funny or not is irrelevant to what I was saying.

So he is in a role where he is important enough to be kept in the loop of transfer bids, yet he is not professional enough to not tell his mates. You've got to wonder how he got such a role if that is what he does with important information. 🤔

I don't think the... - Neolithic people - Beaker people - Romans - Anglo Saxons - Vikings - Normans - Huguenots etc etc ...applied through the 'proper channels' to live on the British Isles', most of them arrived on a boat from France and amalgamated into the general population! 😉

Would you say 'no smoke without fire' if you were accused of a crime you didn't commit?

You have overlooked Kelvin Davis and Paulo Gazzaniga conceded 12 goals in the games they played. Forster 14/15 PL games = 30 Forster 14/15 PL goals conceded = 21 Forster's ratio for 14/15 = 0.7 goals per game which is extremely good

The PFA are claiming it is unlawful in the UK to impose these wage caps. What part of UK law makes wage caps unlawful that US law doesn't make wage caps unlawful in their sports? For a capitalist society, American sport in some respects is strangely communist in nature... wage caps & player drafts!

The BBC's gossip roundup links to a dodgy Football insider article saying Palace are competing with Fulham for Reed. Which isn't the same as the BBC saying it. https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-crystal-palace-plot-move-to-sign-southampton-25-yr-old-hasenhuttl-will-let-go/

As optimistic as Issey Prada?

Can you name an example of a Premier League team that conceded around 33 goals in 38 games and had a shit keeper? There is only so much a good defence and good midfield can do to keep the goals conceded down and competent keeper is required. As good as our defence and midfield was at the time, it was still not at the level of Chelsea, who who won the league that season and only conceded one fewer goal than Saints.

Well a leak often finds it's way from you to this forum! So something clearly isn't watertight at St Mary's.

I addressed that when I said... "People will probably say it was due to the players in defence and midfield, but for Forster to have the 2nd fewest goals conceded in the league he must have done something right that season! You don't only concede 33 PL goals with a good defence and midfield... the keeper is doing something right as well." Put a shit keeper behind a good midfield and good defence and they'd concede more than 33 goals in 38 league games. There is only so much a good defence and good midfield can do. A poor keeper wouldn't see only 33 goals conceded in a season.

He is the Peter Puppy to your Earthworm Jim!

Do you blame Koeman for only conceding 33 league goals in 2014/15? 😛

It isn't even a shade of blue Pompey have every played in. It is significantly darker.

Boruc was never Koeman's first choice. He was loaned out in Koeman first summer and did not play a league game for Koeman. Koeman and Forster's first season 2014/15 saw Saints only concede 33 goals, only Champions Chelsea conceded less (32 goals). People will probably say it was due to the players in defence and midfield, but for Forster to have the 2nd fewest goals conceded in the league he must have done something right that season! You don't only concede 33 PL goals with a good defence and midfield... the keeper is doing something right as well. Timeline - Nigel Adkins signed Boruc in August 2012 - the bottle incident happended in October 2012 when Adkins was manager - Adkins then dropped him until January 2013 - Pochettino joined in January 2013 - Boruc was the regular keeper for Pochettino - Koeman joined Saints in June 2014, Forster joined in August 2014

Spanish Armada of 1588!

You have twisted history quite a bit! 😃 The Boruc bottle incident was in a game managed by Nigel Adkins vs Tottenham October 2012 Koeman joined Saints in June 2014

Boufal probably earns more at Saints then he'd be offered from most club's who'd want him in Europe. So a new deal at Saints would be great for him financially.

If a club is over the salary cap by up to 5%, they will face a financial penalty for every £1 by which they exceed the limit. Any club exceeding the 'overrun' will be referred to an independent disciplinary commission for further sanction. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53696424

Quarantine wouldn't prevent him holding up a shirt for a photo.
