It would suggest you have more ability to judge a decent player than someone who sits in their pants all day playing FIFA. I regularly watch Holby City of a Tuesday evening with the good lady wife. It doesn't make me an expert on heart surgery. Southampton General are hardly going to turn to me for recruitment advice.

Tell me, what level did you play at?

I was hoping to get my nephews season ticket upgraded for me. That's not going to happen. I didn't activate my membership this season but have been to quite a few games this season, and went to Arsenal away. Under the rules laid down by the club, I won't get a ticket. Absolutely fair enough in my book. Rules are rules, and hopefully the club won't make any exceptions. I'll settle for watching it in the pub. I'll be hanging anyway, my birthday the day before.

So you would trust the judgement of some spotty kid with a laptop who has never played the game over a drunk who at least played top flight football for nearly fifteen years, played for his country, and has a job watching football?

I hope the club have told Napoli that it's take it or leave it now. If it's not enough for them, move on to alternatives.

I bet he's quicker than JWP. I also reckon he would leave you standing Bearsy.

Merson may be an idiot, but he was a pro for a good number of years, and is better placed to judge a player than some lard arse with a laptop who was always the last to get picked for football in the school playground.

He didn't look slow last night running with the ball at his feet.

Maguire looks the part for Hull. They'd sell their grandmother at the moment.

Hope it's not one of these deals where the buyer ends up borrowing the money against the club for the purchase.

Why would they sign a deal before doing their due diligence?

Outstanding performance, tactically spot on. Biggest compliment you can pay to Stephens is that we didn't miss VVD, he was outstanding. So so nice to get one over on Lallana. He should have stayed at Saints if he wanted to win things!

Brilliant manager, never in doubt!

Strong in defence and quick on the break. Keep the bin dipping scarf waving knobheads as quiet as possible. Good luck to Stephens.

I think they all play in similar positions. As I say though, he does look pretty good.

Looks pretty handy, but we do have Boufal, Redmond and Tadic who are all similar to him.

Hull have thrown in the towel, selling Livermore and Snodgrass. If we are interested in Maguire, I can't see them trying to hold onto him. Pretty obvious now why Bruce left them.

I'd be surprised if it's a broken bone. He wouldn't have been able to put his boot back on as his foot would have swelled like a balloon.

Great performance. Well done JWP. Best I've seen Tadic play for a while as well.

We're f*cked if Virgil gets injured.

Only decent money if it is spent on a replacement. If it's not, I would rather he stayed. I would rather he stayed and Puel went to be quite honest. He still is a very good player.

I got a bit of flak for suggesting the same thing (the trading of players like stocks). I agree with you.

You made a decent point. I'm not convinced with our business model.

Cocknosher.

Are you on your period?
