'Pedantry' >>> unsubstantiated rumour running rife unchallenged

Setting

I did yes. But it provided no evidence. What is stopping you providing it? Or at the very least an outline of what you think happened?

Are you able to provide some facts then about this?

It gives no clue as to what happened other than the club potentially viewed something negatively. We don't know what and people jump to conclusions from it.

Given he joined Liverpool before Saints had started pre-season in the summer of 2014 it is hard to see what a 'strike' stopped him doing!? 🤔

I don't know. Which is why I asked for something to substantiate the rumours of poor behaviour. At the moment all I've seen is people jumping to conclusions seemingly based on 6 year old rumours.

That isn't what I asked for.

No, @davefoggy was the one claiming Lallana behaved badly to get a move. So any burden of proof is with him, not me.

Can you substantiate them then? First we'd need to decide what his 'behaviour' was!

As long as he's fit I'd imagine he'd be a starter for them. He'll be on huge wages for the next 3 years so using him from the bench doesn't really make sense.

@stevegrant Can you turn on the feature that shows which users are currently viewing threads?

Fiction

How would you summarise his behaviour (using facts rather than unsubstantiated rumour)?

Is that Virgil van Dijk's gay cousin? 🤔😉 I doubt Sheffield United's fans dislike for Vardy (if it exists) would be to the extent where their players are happy to concede goals to help Vardy not win a golden boot.

Interesting choice of person for the gif.

Shouldn't we be turning the other cheek?

He wouldn't need a water cannon!

Yet again... making judgements despite what your avatar claims! 🤔

Only because journalists rehashed the original story. It originated in a Daily Express article that is riddled with errors and then other 'journalists' copied and pasted the story.

Being hosts isn't the reason they are in the finals. Host city countries are not guaranteed a spot.

The 1990s

In 2020/21 there will be 6 clubs in the 3rd tier with bigger stadiums than Fratton Park! They aren't even a big fish in their small pond!

The deals can be done independently from each other. Plus transfer window isn't even open yet.
