Is being captain really that big a deal?

Its Miss not Mrs.

Google search "The Times Van Dijk" and then look at the cached copy

Koeman comes across as being a little stroppy and graceless....or is that just me?

Nice Xmas present!!

Front row in Highbury was a shocking place to watch a game from.

Real need to think about a replacement for Pepe (soon) and Ramos (in 3 or 4 years). Their embargo is up in the summer. I'd wait and go there.

One last big contract - haven't we supposedly offered him an improved and obscene £80k pw? And then I think wasn't there an offer to stay on and coach?

1971. Live on the border and can look out over 1 field and see Dorset, so I too consider myself a Hampshire man, or maybe a Wessexman.

I was born there as well, pre 1974, but am a little confused as to whether I consider it Hants or Dorset.

Maybe he is doing a MP. I can't imagine any manager likes doing media duties. Make yourself as boring as possible, and maybe they leave you alone. MP decided to do it differently via his translator.

Exactly. You could ask, why is it a derby? Being 33 miles apart isn't really good enough reason.

Pretty much like how I feel, not least because I was born next to the ground. It's just an iteration of the Karpman drama triangle, so I wouldn't take it too personally.

Question I want to know, is why we spent £2.5m on him in the first place. How on earth can that be justified? I initially thought that the decimal point was in the wrong place. Smells a bit fishy to me!

I am afraid to say that it is players/agents once again not understanding what the contract they signed actually means. Are they all rather dense? Fonte signed an extension in October of 2015 to take him up to the end of June 2018. He signed it. The club are not beholden to offer any further extension, in the same way that players are not beholden to extend theirs if the club wants it. Players might like to think that they have all the "power" but they don't. If (and the operative word is "if") Fonte has the hump, then I would be happy with Yoshi as his attitude makes up for other areas. But has he the hump? We hear all this stuff about coaching and wanting to be a coach at Saints, but that sits a little differently from what little we have been hearing of recent.

The problem with a station is that the line that passes SMS is a branch line going down to the docks, with maybe the only viable place being where the marshalling yard is on Radcliffe Road. That is unless for trains coming from Soton Central, you go up to the marshalling yards, stop and reverse down the branch line. I guess that that is not beyond the whit of man, or maybe it is.

You don't half write utter tosh. Who left on a sour note? Lallana and Lovren. That's it so far. And pray tell why the club are to blame for that, especially with Lovren? Simple fact is Glasgow, these players sign contracts and then expect them only to be observed unilaterally as and when it suits them.

But when we play Stoke, Arsenal, etc, we would then need a 3rd kit (ie the black one)

Glad that we are now above WBA. Something's not right when they are above you.

Davis superb. Him and JRod my MotM

Very gracious of Shlong to greet JRod with a beaming smile.

For being out for so long, and having a few rusty games, I too am absolutely stoked for him. I will confess that I thought we had seen the best/last of him. While I know that this is but one game, it shows that he still has got something about him.

Yup!!

Jrod looking better than he has for a very long time. Still not quite to where he was, but.......(fingers crossed)
