Embrace the challenge Charlie. These are the games you want at the end of the season. Can't wait for Sunday.

Yes that's what happened. All got a bit out of hand. It made the national news on TV as I recall. A lot different from the comical pitch invasion at Eastville.

The answer is out there.....in the stratosphere.

Kante, or any number of small midfielders, counter the size argument.

They've got the the luxury of a CB who can play long accurate diagonals as MS did for Saints. All VW would have to do is win the ball and pass it 5 yards to Aldereiweld or another of the better passers. I can see him going there.

You've got me there Einstein.

And your first words were "But these weren't mistakes by any stretch". Why didn't you simply ask if I thought these were mistakes? I think you are being disingenuous here. Your default position is always to defend referees, even when you haven't seen the incidents. Definitely one and arguably all three were the wrong decision or, let's not mince words, "mistakes", in my opinion.

You appear to be saying they weren't mistakes by any stretch, not asking if they were, yet you've only seen the Huth incident. Nice try.

That's an odd way of putting it Whitey. I don't advocate referrals but sometimes refs make mistakes. It's a difficult job but they get things wrong and we should acknowledge that.

So you think neither were penalties and there was no foul on Clasie for their goal? Well your obviously entitled to your opinion but I find that ****ng incredible. By the way, I pointed out that we didn't create enough today. I've posted this view a number of times of the past two seasons. I'm well aware of the failings. Today it was the referee.

We didn't create enough and I think at times we got out-muscled, a reflection of Leicester's greater desire to win the game, but the fact is we lost the game because of the ref. Repeat, we lost because of the ref. Penalty and sending off first half. Foul on Clasie for their's. Penalty second half. I've seen this ref before. He's weak. I'm pleased Leicester will win the title because it's not one of the usual money clubs but I'm underwhelmed by them. They are winning it by default.

To the extent that there's a grain of truth in the article (probably Tadic sounding off as he did about being excluded from the national team), I'm encouraged. Demanding manager, almost fully fit squad, possibility of European football next season, some players not happy about being more involved. All positive isn't it? Contrast with Villa where players don't want to play and nobody gives a stuff.

In what respects is Van Dyke too limited to play as a central defender?

Correct.

Agreed. Up to Rooney now to rise to the challenge, which he will. All positive.

For once England, that was impressive. Tottenham players were all good with Alli excellent. Good stuff.

2-1

Why waste time when you are 3-1 down.

Subs changed the game. Ours and theirs. It's such a pity momentum may be diminished by the international break. On the other hand, more time to get Austin and JRod fit. Wanyama was flawless.

Pray for Matthew.

Targett not being in the team is coincidence as you say not the cause of a drop in form as you mean to say. Which quicker attacking options should Koeman have used yesterday?

Penalty looked harsh from where I was. More red cards than any other PL team so far. Anyone would think we're a dirty team. Sunderland were cr@p and we weren't much better.So glad those who abandoned the stadium after we conceded missed our equaliser.

This is one where an early goal either way will be vital.

I haven't counted the number times he's been called a **** on here but from a cursory review, I think we can safely say Saintsweb is unanimous. Costa' a ****. He's at the right club though. Don't you just hate those ****s.
