Were you in the Ozzie bar underneath?

A big part of the euphoria of the Poch season was the realisation we could be a good team after a few years in lower leagues. We had a team with a freakishly high number of home-grown players coupled with players who had seen us through two consecutive promotions and fans felt a real bond with. We hadn't been raided by competitors at that point. We've seen now that anyone who does well will likely leave before long. Those circumstances of the Poch era are not going to repeat themselves.

Imagine the landscape on here if the team was full of youth players that weren't good enough, rather than expensive signings.

No one will actually pay £40m for Grealish unless there is a proper bidding war. Villa can leak whatever figure they like.

Has Hughes got a yogurt teetering on the brink of expiration?

I agree with this. If Fulham want him then give him a year of Premier League football and see how he does.

Yeah, that would be job done for Arsenal.

please rate the following practical element: Welcome on arrival. - extremely poor - poor - ok - good - extremely good.

I agree.

Answers below, please.

Q: Who do you feel you represent? A: Saints fans.

Antiques Roadshow is class.

Something like that makes more sense MLG, I agree. Ie. Where the flow of information is towards SFC. I think there will be limited value in loaning players we want to keep to an Italian side though.

It would still be pointless. Why send them to Serie B instead of the Championship or League One? If they were in Serie A it might be good but even then I'm not sure it's too productive to be tied with another club in relation to player dealings

Peephole Pringles?

I don't think there's any doubt amongst intelligent people. It's not necessarily a problem for the women's game though. Women's tennis does OK and the gulf is the same there. Any of the top women would get absolutely destroyed by any of the top 1000 men but lots of people don't seem to mind.

What's wrong with it?

That's over 12 years, bro. About 3 a day. I totally did the math. And I have holidays, not vacations.

No, it really wouldn't. It would be a joke.

It's not, dinlow. Read the post again. And have a good day, y'all.

I've got no animosity towards Mane, Clyne etc. It's just certain cockwombles whose misfortune is enjoyable. And for those pious bores who think people should "get over it", you are completely missing the point and presumably labouring under some sort of ignorant notion that those of us who heartily enjoyed the failures of the cockwombles are harbouring an unhealthy, gnarled, malignant state of mind. No. It's a bit of fun. I enjoyed the match much more for having a level of investment in it that would have been absent if it was, say, Bayern v PSG. So, quite simply, you don't get it and you're the weird ones.

It would be a complete shift for Spurs if they sign Bale. It's well known that they don't pay the wages that Man U, Chelsea and City pay. Bale could command £250k+ a week. Can't see it. At his wages, his options are those three clubs or PSG, basically. Or Barça if he runs his contract down but I can't see that.

If you watch the Salah / Ramos incident carefully, you can see that it's Salah who tries to lock arms first anyway.
