A good game including the big boys at last. Spain will win the thing playing like this.

We don't know the ins and outs I suppose but I guess there is a wage structure for 16 year olds and I can't imagine us breaking it or throwing thousands at them when they have only shown it at a lower level. How many times have we seen young prospects go off the rails because of money.

It's called standing by his players. Do you expect him to say "nah, Bazunu is shit, don't rate him."

Bitter sweet but I'd take that. Gives credence for the Yukinari Sugawara rumours as well coming in at right back. I'm glad we're moving quick if losing key players.

England through to last 16. Not the most exciting way of going through.

Exactly this, he feels we've lost because we've not filled the two defensive midfielder roles properly. Our front 4 or 5, if utilised effectively, would destroy most teams in the world. The negative approach of Southgate is staggering.

Exactly. How detached is he to even say it let alone think it?

What we were missing in that game was another defensive midfielder in Kalvin Phillips. Shows the mentality of the pathetic man.

This is the sort of random shit that might actually be true. I like the fact we're out there trying to find the next superstar.

They're not going to get much sympathy "we want to spend more money than we're allowed, even though we spend more than everyone anyway". This smacks of attacking first before all the charges come out, if they win their charges will be thrown out. Looks like an admission of guilt to me.

Consistently been a top performer at the club over the last 5 years, loved the way he drove forward in attack and made things happen. I hope he does well at his next club, wherever he ends up.

Fair play to him. I didn't think he was good enough for a promotion chasing team, although he did well at Stoke last season. Glad to be proved wrong, he has been excellent, especially in the play offs. I hope he can push on further in the prem.

Starting to get excited.

Let's not sit back and defend for 20 minutes. Let's go for the second, come on Saints.

I feel 80 minutes of saints possession followed with a West brom goal then we'll actually try and attack for 10 mins and it'll be too late.

Well that half was shit. Get to their area and pass back, no cutting edge. Having 70% possession is pointless if you don't do anything with it. West brom playing for the draw makes it tricky but, for God's sake, let's try and get in the oppo area.

Time to get behind the team whoever is playing. Let's hope we're not as cagey like the Norwich Leeds game, I can understand wanting to take a draw back to St Mary's but I hope we go for it today. I've got a feeling Stewart will score today. Come on Saints!

Fair play Ipswich. McKenna should get best overall manager of the season.

Stewart looking lively.

We have to drop Stephens for the play offs.
