Actually with access to resources Shaqiri is actually 1 cm taller than Clasie apparently (1.70 to 1.69). Must be the fact that his shorts are too big for him and nearly touch his ankles makes him look really small. Still Jordy is 2 inches or 4cm taller than Dyer.

You seriously think Bally and Scholes wouldn't be good enough today :-)) Wise I might give you. Clasie will be fine, but probably not this season. Is he smaller than the Stoke midget whose name I don't recall.

Sam Byram of Leeds. We were linked with a while back. Refused to sign new contract and now being linked to Everton and Sunderland, his price seems to have gone up now, £8m.

Pardon

Think he would actually do better with a loan to Spain, rather than the Championship. Gary Neville could take him on and give him a season to develop in a league where pace is not so critical and where his decent technique would be valued. In the Championship he would probably get kicked off the park.

Did I miss the quotes from Kelvin, the Captain of the Club? Actually much of what is written in that article really doesn't make much sense. Probably not Fonte but the editor of the piece.

You'd leave out Davis. Madness.

You really need to take a break from being a tit. It might do you good and I'm sure it would give the rest of the Forum members a decent break as well.

Perhaps you could enlighten the Forum as to what these attributes are?

Sure Tweedle Dee will find a way.

Nervous? Quelle surprise.

Has anyone slated him? Everyone I recall is just asking to see what he can do, given a chance.

Chelsea away, we need an easy draw.

We had a Plan B on Wednesday. That went well. Its time for Plans C, D and E.

More one-man tent. Still think he will come good and show his worth, but maybe not this season. The lack of preseason and then the accident during his comeback in the dev game willcontinue to hinder his progress this season. Also has a lot to live up to if people continue to compare him with Morgan, there are very few players who could fill his boots.

Totally agree. Why Ronald can't see this is beyond me.

Its a long time since Mane scored in the league as well.

5 defeats on the trot for the u18s, no more games until 2016. Our Academy is shocking at the moment. But think you are being a bit pessimistic for the 1st team, would be shocked if we lose 4 on the trot. But 4 tough fixtures agreed.

That's fine, but they don't award points for performances.

Yep

He has been. 4th of the season.

Been watching Sky?

Because he's gone to Spurs and Kenzie has got the gig, started on Wednesday.

But that was Saints Instagram #tb wasn't it? Just shows you can't believe anything on the internet.

No-one is forgetting Chelsea, and you are right we weren't crap for about 20 minutes of the 2nd half against City. But we were crap in the start of that match and lost it as a result, we were crap against Stoke, we were crap 2nd half against Bournemouth and we were crap against Leicester 2nd half. Oh and Manu we were crap apart from the beginning and end. In some cases we got decent results despite crap performances, but no-one was discussing results, Alpine specifically mentioned performances not results. Alpine is not wide of the mark, but then its Alpine and even when he posts something reasonable he gets shouted down because his reputation goes before him.
