It wasn't a foul, it was a successful tackle. 🙄

What would you consider counts as 'not far off it'? 2nd or 3rd and within 10 points of 1st?

"This level"?! Last season he was a regular starter for the 7th best defence in a league rated higher than the Premier League by UEFA.

You jest... but some Football Manager researchers work in analysis and recruitment departments of professional clubs.

1) I didn't make a factual claim... I stated an opinion. You still can't grasp the difference between the two! 🙄 2) You made a claim about what I apparently said 8 years ago... so the burden of proof is on you! 🙄

Not in large numbers they didn't. £20k is only 1,300 fans paying £15. It is a nice gesture, but wasn't anywhere near a significant part of their fanbase.

😁 Is that you making a typo?! Jos Hooiveld

We've been through this before but I'm puzzled how a grown man still doesn't understand what constitutes a lie. What exactly in my post do you think is a lie? It is an opinion, not a claim it is a statement of fact. Are you saying I'm lying and it is not my opinion? 🙄

I'm basing it on player quality, not just form in a small sample of games. If not them as the bottom 4... then who else?

West Brom, Fulham, Sheff Utd and Burnley are all terrible. I'm confident Saints won't be anywhere near a relegation battle in terms of points this season.

New long term deal incoming for Ings...

He made two mistakes vs one of the best strikers in world football, let's not write him off quite so quickly!

Puzzling why you think my answer that informs him of the league rule isn't an acceptable answer to his question. Had it been anyone else posting it would you have picked them up on it?

Players can't play against parent teams in the Premier League.

Jannik Vestergaard!

He was impressive today.

It is a loan to get 1st team gametime, the alternative is him likely to play 0 league games for us this season. If he does well perhaps he'll get a second chance at Saints. I wouldn't completely write off his Saints future quite yet.

It didn't really, as Saints were already winning the tie before that goal. 😉

Devil's advocate... They just beat the number 1 ranked team in the world! 😉

The failed project planned for the 9 longest serving clubs. If two clubs are joint 8th, that fills up the 9 clubs required.

Saints are joint 8th along with West Ham as we were promoted in the same season.

The criteria is for longest current spell in the Premier League. Saints are joint 8th for that and so they are above Villa and Newcastle.
