I see Sven is out of work...

In ranking Fraser Forster as the 7th best keeper in the PL this season they have demonstrated that the author has never seen him play and knows nothing about keeping goal. Typical ******** based questionable stats that gamers rely on without reference to the real world. One good game.

Usually people who have no idea about what is happening with Dutch football and can't be arsed to find out. I keep track on the Dutch football team as I used to live in the Netherlands.

Big assumption. Unlikely to do so, currently 4th in their group, 6 points behind France with 5 to play, 3 points against Luxembourg on Friday might help I suppose given the top 2 (France & Sweden) play each other the same night.

So the only one saying that Puel has been sacked is the OP. The Express article doesn't say it and no-one else is reporting it (yet). Really the thread title should be changed to stop people getting their hopes up prematurely. The interesting bit in the Express article is that Forster is in the Saints team of stars that we would have had if we hadn't sold them, so Forster is on his way then.

@SimonPeach #SaintsFC have asked the Premier League to investigate an alleged illegal approach from #LFC for Virgil van Dijk, PA Sport understands

Mostly to do with experience, Targett has been a regular for the U21s, while Sam has only played once I think. McQueen will probably get called up, sure to be one of the little preciouses will drop out.

Lloyd's Isgrove tweeted a while back now that he and. Martina had been offered contracts at Blackburn, but nothing seems to have happened since.

Neil Shipperley

Academy teams also don't wear Virgin Media sponsored shirts, so that's irrelevant.

Surprised its as many as 9. Thought all their games were shown live, otherwise the Scouse commentators/pundits would have nothing to talk about.

He is (I didn't notice when I posted, last paragraph): "Notable managers who were appointed in England pre-1960 include Ted Bates (18 years at Southampton), Bill Nicholson (16 years at Tottenham) and Bill Shankly (15 years at Liverpool). A Sky Sports study of all-time manager tenures in England revealed West Brom's Fred Everiss holds the record term after managing the Baggies for 46 years between 1902 and 1948."

Difference is though that Kat was born in Switzerland (I think), whereas Markus was born in Germany. Nevertheless Kat is German speaking if not actually German.

What? So pointing out that what you posted is complete and utter nonsense (Tadic took 3 pens this season, miss v Inter week 11, scored v Leicester week 21 and missed v Hull week 34) makes me a drama queen does it? How so? Perhaps you don't know what a drama queen is (if you want some help Tadic is a drama queen). Really don't understand people that post complete and utter nonsense, and even worse can't accept it when their nonsense is shown so easily to be complete ********. Blame Puel all you like, I am not happy with him, but at least blame him for things he actually did wrong (there are plenty to choose from). Drama queen, think I've heard it all now.

Persevered with Tadic to the extent that Long and Gabbi took them and missed. Puel is responsible for a lot of bad stuff but blaming him for persevering with Tadic on pens takes the biscuit.

On paper he looks good, but seems to fall out with club hierarchy everywhere and also more worryingly with players. Not the ideal man to take over in my view.

Ted Bates, 18 yrs 3 months (plus 2 years as coach).

on loan ?

That would be Huddersfield, 3 times League Champions, and 6 other top 3 finishes. Don't get the crap on Sky about "plucky little Huddersfield". They were giants in the 1920s (no I don't remember it). Would have preferred Reading as I used to live there (and went to a good many games at the old ground) but Huddersfield are a good club.

Play him alongside VvD, better than Yoshida.

Isgrove and Martina offered contracts by Blackburn apparently.

Trouble is we won't know whether Liverpool qualify for the Champions League until August 23rd.

He did not come on loan. How many more times. He was here on a short term contract, shame he is not being retained.

Is anyone genuinely surprised? Coco is to Erwin Koeman what Jeremy's Pied is to Puel. He's out of contract, would have left last Summer if Pied had not been injured. Nice guy, but really not good enough for the PL.

Wasn't she wearing a tight red dress on Sunday? Not that I was looking.
