Pulse sports has it. Poor ish quality but watchable.

I'd take that in a heartbeat. That would be a superb tro. Redmond, Tadic's and a striker who can run and finish ahead of them and that would be one hell of a team.

Yes. As good as Romeu is, Morgan is a big step up.

To be fair blindness would probably be the only excuse for not spotting that some of them were at least 30.

I've read through this thread and wish I hadn't! The outcome of the brexit vote was clear. Brexit won. Some will like that and others won't. Either way, the vote had given the government to press the article 50 button and brexit. There's a need to do that by 31/3 otherwise we surrender more of our sovereignty hence that is the deadline. This 'but only x % of the electorate only voted brexit' argument is utter ******. This ain't the playground where you lose paper, scissor, stone and protest that you should get another chance. This is a grown up democracy. Of those who got off their backside and voted the bulk said leave in an election without a vote or majority threshold. The rules have been compiled with and you can't change them after the event. With everything said, and as a brexiter, the fall out and likely problems going forward makes me question whether my decision was sensible. However, me and millions of others made the same (possibly wrong) decision but we made it and we've gotta implement it. It could be a nightmare but hey ho.

Good link. As per my post, people think not guilty means proved innocent when it means nothing like that. Then there are people LGTL and Lord duckhunter who extend that to think that the aggrieved must have been lying and/or that there has been a miscarriage of justice. Harry was found not guilty, oj Simpson was too. I doubt any of us honestly felt that either had been stitched up. As an aside, I once had a busy defence criminal law practice. Of the many clients who I secured acquittals for it's a real possibility that none were innocent, despite all being found not guilty.

What for? He's not been proved innocent. Rather, and as per the cps statement , the jury couldn't be sure beyond reasonable doubt that there was sufficient evidence to prove his guilt. Hopefully we'll get the Scottish 'not proven' option one day.

Hart is better than Forster Walker better than our RB's Henderson arguably better than Clasie, Davis and JWP Dier an upgrade on Romeu, just Ali is brilliant and would be accommodated Sturridge imo is a better option (if fit) than Redmond or Long up top.

Minor issue that he's a loon who's under contract elsewhere and the transfer window is shut.

Our French speaking ex centre back who looks after the under 23's will step up imo. He's been more closely involved with the first team set up so should be seamless.

Agreed that he was a motivator but that's not what the kids need. They need to be coached to improve as players. Doddsy and Williams couldn't develop them as players hence they went. Yes Doddsy served us proud but that doesn't mean he's a great youth coach - his absence from the pro game says it all.

The Flying Dutchman opposite the casino near Oxford Street. Good beer and big screens. My new favourite footy pub.

Quite. Dodd and Williams were poor coaches. They had the respect of the kids as they'd been there and done it, particularly Dodd. They were also good at was keeping the kids grounded. The kids loved them but that did not make them good at the important bit of making them better players.

I've got a Blackburn supporting mate who describes him as a quicker more mobile Chris Sutton. Reckons he looks very comfortable at that level.

You heard that. I heard that. The muppets in the Northam were a disgrace. Definitely more class on the pitch than off it tonight.

Yep. 2 players desperate to take the pen, and confident too. Stand in skipper sorting things out sharpish. Austin banging it away then half apologising for being a knob and saying it's been sorted. Puel saying he'll have a word. Don't see the issue.

I dislike Lallana as much as the next man but it's daft to say say that he was anything but very good today. Credit where it's due.

But Redmond, Boufal and PEH wouldn't come to sit on the bench behind mane, Wanyama, etc. That's where the 'we should have pushed on' and added to the squad argument fails. Good players come for first team football so have to come in to replace those who leave. Sure we all want a bigger and better squad but the emphasis has to be the strongest first 11. Wanyama had to go. His contract was running down and we had to cash in. Anything else wouldn't have have made business sense, plus an unhappy player (from being forced to stay) suits nobody. Mane's stock was high so selling him made sense also. Arguably we could have got more but selling made sense and again I don't see the sense in forcing players to stay. Thus keeping them wasn't an option. If we did we'd struggle to get quality to play second fiddle to them plus they'd be gone in the next window or the one after so why put off the inevitable departure and search for a replacement until another day? If people want to see better 2nd and 3rd choice players they must consider how realistic it is to move out someone like Yoshida for example, and then find another bloke who's happy to be 3rd pick. It's not easy and costs a lot of cash potentially paying up contracts, loyalty payments, agents fees, signing on fees plus transfer fees etc. Then there's FFP which is whole other story that I'm tired of mentioning cos the masses don't seem to realise just how little we can spend wages wise compared to others in the league.

What? I cannot believe I've got to waste my last post replying to such daft questions. Just read the ****e posted on here by the likes of you, heisenmoan and others. There's the expectation that we buy all sorts of players. I've read all sorts of posts saying that we have tried harder to get Bony, Chambers and all sorts. Why? Who says we haven't? Who says we can afford their wages? Who says they'd come here? How do fit more than 25 players in a 25 man squad? The bottom line is that we've replaced each departure. That's a fact. What's to say that the new boys aren't an upgrade? Boufal is rated highly and may be an upgrade on mane. Redmond will produce more than Juanmi. Hjolberg looks class and will use the ball better than Wagamama and spend less time banned. Looking at MLG's list please tell me how the squad is weaker. Also tell me which new player is worse than the player he replaced. In short, stop whining, think before you type and get behind the team ffs.

Good post MLG. I've said before that ours fans have become spoiled and expect too much. Most people also seem to completely ignore FFP and don't appreciate that we just cannot compete on wages regardless of whether we have the cash. Personally I think squad wise we're about where we were pre summer. My concern is the system they're used in but that's another issue.

Pens decide who gets an extra point, ie 3 for a win, 1 for a draw but 2 for a draw and pen win.
