Convict Colony

we don't play the club history we play their current form and against that lot they are pretty sh*t at the moment (even city). Injuries permitting I see 3 wins and 1 draw

Oh and for the article where the teeth whitening, fat losing, wife dropping posuer stated he had no sympathy, it makes glorious reading at the moment. "Brendan Rodgers says he has no sympathy for Southampton, claiming they gave up their ambition to be a Champions League club and decided to cash in on their players. Five players have left St Mary's this summer, with Rodgers signing three for Liverpool in Adam Lallana (for £25 million), Dejan Lovren (£20m) and Rickie Lambert (£4m). "They have a choice as a club," Rodgers said of Liverpool's opponents on Sunday at Anfield. "They don't have to sell. You have a choice. Maybe Southampton's objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change. I suppose Liverpool have taken three players but Arsenal have taken a player [defender Calum Chambers for £16m], Manchester United have taken a player [England international Luke Shaw for £27m]. There might be one or two others who leave. It's just the way it works. "We were after a certain type of player that fits the profile and the mould of the way we play. They played in a similar mould to us, so the players understand the pressing, the intensity and the possession so, I don't have sympathy, no. "Don't get me wrong, Southampton is a great club. But so was Swansea [Rodgers' old club]. Swansea have produced a young player in Ben Davies and he's now gone to Tottenham. It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can. "Luke Shaw was probably disappointed and sad to leave Southampton but he's gone to what he would deem to be a bigger club. "The guys have come here because of the status of Liverpool and Champions League football. And it's hard to deny players that and that will always be the case; young talents coming through at clubs. The clubs will do the very best they can. "I think lots of chairmen and directors and executives understand that. Now you know that, if it comes along, all they can do is maximise what they can get for the talent and look to invest to go again. "When I was at Swansea and there were other clubs that had been longer in the Premier League and that first season when we got promoted wanted to take one or two of our players. I was able to convince one or two of our players to stay. And as a manager you know that. You fight hard against it but it's how football works."

Think we better worry about keeping our players

Its funny saw this post had insomnia so decided to head over to the RAWK and read their thread on us from the beginning of the season, its f'*cking hilarious but fairplay we were saying the same things and re-found the old downfall video and chuckled my arse off. http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=309033.1800

Its gotta be Jan V, he is running his contract down last I read and it would explain why he can't get in their team despite probably being the best player with Hugo

Yeah Swansea away when he scored the winner

Big Vic looks even bigger on the sofa and Paul Inc so far has had his arm round him, his legs right next to him, I think he's in love with vic

Good to see Rodgers ego mania has extended to him making the mascot look like him.

hahahahah rodgers is getting it in the RAWK forum tonight Maybe someone should post this as reason why Lovren didn't play against Real Madrid to his missus instagram account. "Don't think he should be blamed for buying Balotelli, but the decision to sign Dejan Lovren, our worst buy by some distance, falls squarely on his shoulders." It seems you do walk alone if your dejan lovren hahahaha

yeah I invested in the week long option today to try it out and it was perfect for both chelsea and our match ,defo worth the 30 quid I think it is for 6 months and great customer support

Interesting stats mate fairplay, I would take 6th in a heartbeat but also very informative, I knew chelsea were good but not that good.

Nice one mate and I look for to hearing the rationale as to why chambers has improved but clyne got worse

Glad I was able to remind so many people what an odious c.u.n.t Rodgers was during the summer which hopefully will balance the platitudes for when he gets sacked eventually. Karma is a ***** Brendan and I hope it's name is Jose

haha yeah couldn't find it verbatim but everyone should cheer for chelsea on the weekend cos he is a massive c.o.c.k

Have absolutely no sympathy for the human blob after he said this in the summer. 'I don't feel sorry for southampton, nobody forced them to sell their best players. They gave up their ambitions to be in the champions league and cashed in. It was their choice.'

Just seen this on paddy power hahaha Southampton fans, we are sorry: How the Saints have gone from being tipped for relegation to top four contenders: http://blog.paddypower.com/2014/11/04/southampton-fans-we-are-sorry-how-the-saints-have-gone-from-being-tipped-for-relegation-to-top-four-contenders/#ROfsrSIYB4pjGdHj.99

Had too many 1-0's recently in the league so am going for a 4-0 spanking

you have a PM

I subscribe to the times but I would describe it as "w.a.n.k.y journalistic b.o.l.l.o.c.k.s by an ex table tennis player"

At least we would promote consistent performance and encourage english players with country aspirations to look to play for a team regularly rather than get paid loads to sit on a bench. You don't play means you can't get in the squad.

Thought Ralph spoke very well at the opening of the centre, he remembered a lot of facts and delivered it professionally. I think people forget how hard it is to make it look so easy so fairplay Ralph you have the CC seal of approval for public speaking, good skills.

Think Syed is hijacking the principles associated with this book The Drunkards Walk (please note this is not Bearsy's autobiography) (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0141026472?pc_redir=1414130647&robot_redir=1) which I've read and is pretty interesting but seems incredibly false to apply to us given how we improved last season which was based on 3 previous seasons of improvement which could constitute a trend.

Squads like this make it easy to miss England games

Don't worry amigo, in the players tunnel this exact style is already in place, check out one of the recent home game behind the scenes, within the 1st 30 secs of the sunderland one :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTHaXOmOer0&list=PLM7o8Rfl9FTlBaPRh4gxNdsUSZen32yYP
