Stu Man Do

Jose should perhaps take a leaf out of our Ronald's book from earlier in the season. The seven man defence strategy to get us over the humping by Everton seems to have calmed us defensively and we have looked far more solid and in turn better offensively since then. Long may it continue for us!

Bet Mane was rubbing his hands with glee once he saw Terry was starting! What an amazing result, most complete half of football we've played this season for sure

Ha prediction proved correct! My point was that if we want to improve the atmosphere we need something easy and repetitive. Short of actual songs for our players that seems like a decent shout and I've always thought it sounded decent when they've been down here.

Always think the palace fans are pretty noisy because they have a few songs that you can just put on a loop. The we love you one in the video below would sound quite good in the Northam I think but I'm sure someone will point out how embarrassed they'd be by this ...

Don't talk wet, clearly doors are no longer wide enough down south for his ego. Definitely won't be back here or at Bournemouth any time soon whilst he has plenty of years on his 100k a week contract at pool

When we go around spouting rubbish about selling ourselves as a stepping stone to players it's no wonder that they actually believe it and are then disappointed when they don't get to choose when they go. I'd prefer our board to say a lot less RE transfers in the future. If we sell him I can't see us signing anyone in a price range our board find acceptable but of the quality we need to replace the best CM pairing we've had in a long long time.

Ha this is so mental it's actually made me forget a little of yesterday's annoyance! Cheers Art! :-)

The Southampton Way can bugger off if its planning on serving up that rubbish this season! Dire. Playing long ball clearly wasn't working and no changes to how we played were evident to me all game. JWP and Davis should never again be seen in the same team at the same time for me. 5 defenders when we HAD to score? Are you kidding me? ROKO has some serious questions to answer atm for me. Dodgey team selections so far this year and has turned us into a team of no distinct style or substance so far this year. What a let down after last season,.

Judging by our draws so far (highest unseeded team and a national champion CL drop out) you just know that if we do win through we'll get Dortmund, Monaco and Lazio! Nothing like doing things the hard way! Still let's concentrate on tonight and hopefully cheer a few people on this board up with a win!

There was a press conference before last weeks Europa league game so at a guess its just that :-(

Seems ridiculous that the deal is so heavily weighted in West Hams favour. For that quality of stadium I'm sure they could have "convinced" them to pay more. The tax payer funding their stewarding and corner flags? Wtf! Agree this should be on the main board though!

But as we all know the champs league is a far higher standard and what every player on the planet wishes to participate in, just ask Lovren and Lallana

Not saying he didn't but do you have a link for that? I'd be massively surprised if any club other than city could turn down 50m bids for a player who is pretty inconsistent. As for mane would be gutted to see him go. Genuinely feel there is little good coming from just getting these players for just one season all the time. Creates a disconnect between players and the team and as others have said luck with signings will eventually run out surely!

EL if nothing else helps us keep players here next summer and may encourage better quality signings in its turn. Plus beating a few big name European sides would be amazing.

On the basis that this is true , awful decision. Would mean only 1 of last years back 5 being in the team come Saturday having been replaced by a relegated CB and potentially a CB from a truly awful SPL. Bit of a risk I'd say.

Really helpful answer :-s why didn't I realise that myself?! I specifically need to know the channel though so the guy can find it for us ... He's not going to scroll through his near 800 world wide channels for us! Anyone who has any actual information ... Would be greatfully recieved! Any international channels (not just stream websites) known to be showing the game?

any idea if it's on ANY channel? found a guy out here in marmaris with about 10 different satellites so if anyone has a channel it's on I'm sorted! thanks in advance!

Probably a stupid question but I'm away in Turkey for both games ... Does anyone know how to get the app to work out there or is it just a case of finding a stream somewhere?

Pretty certain RK said at one stage that there had never been any interest in Caulker.

Get the impression that the board will probably get fussed into accepting a lower bid near the end of the window by a take it or leave it bid with the knowledge he will be into the last year of his contract next summer.

What I don't really get is that we appear to have offered more money than Spurs? If the end game for AM is to achieve more money for the transfer how exactly are we out of the running?!

Based on this will he even get a work permit with the new rules or is it different for players who have lived in the EU for a period of time?

Presumably it would revert back to them at midnight on June 30th ready for them to re-transfer it if the deal then went through? Realistically if he wants to go to Spurs he will but at least we might get some extra compo.

Master at negotiating? Got some stunning deals with the Bale money didn't he!? 26 m for Soldado? 16(?)m for Paulinho!
