Dark Munster

The 27-year-old has been a key player in the Southampton side since arriving from Borussia Mönchengladbach and his performances have caught the eye of Leicester, who The Sun report have made a £15million bid for the Dane.

The start of our demise was getting rid of Pele, Mane and VW without adequate replacements, and the nail in the coffin was sacking Puel. The start (hopefully) of the resurrection was appointing Ralph and getting rid of the clowns.

I'm glad we're not West Ham.

True, in the 2002/03 season Hammers went down with 42 points, but WBA and Sunderland below them had only 29 and 19 points: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002–03_FA_Premier_League#League_table Still, we can still hope West Ham repeat their feat!

Dalek has been exterminated apparently, so no more reminders that for the last 15 seasons he'd predicted us finishing 17th and the club would be happy with that. Bearsy was always good for a laugh. Long lost in the woods it seems.

1st half hour we were even more magnificent.

Yes, Wee Ross, Dr. Honeydew and Bunsen have thankfully left, but how about the incompetent scouts who recommended the likes of Elyuseless, Hoedt, etc.?

Having scouts who don't recommend shite players would help too.

Don't you mean "You have to feel sorry for the little shit"?

Yes, one of our underrated managers who was treated shabbily in the end. Sadly in poor health now.

Good read. Cheers.

Utd 0 Wolves 0 at half time. So far so good. Hopefully no-one breaks the deadlock and the ref has his red card locked and loaded.

Ah, the good old days, when many footballers lived in a cardboard box and headed wet leather balls that weighed more than bowling balls. Sadly, many of them have brain damage now.

And it could've been us™

Why would anyone want sleeping giants coming back into the PL? If they get established again in the top flight it makes clubs our size more vulnerable to relegation. The more minnows in the PL the better, I say. Except the Skates, of course.

They have a decent squad, and more importantly now have a world-class manager. We could finish ahead of them, but I wouldn't touch 150/1 on them getting relegated with a barge pole.

And the catalyst for all of this was perhaps the "blessing in disguise" 0-9.

Yes. As long as the one and only scoring striker never, ever, gets injured.

Yes we do. I'm getting a a sense of deja vu, all over again. A year ago the club loaned out Cedric and did not bring in a replacement. A gamble which fortunately paid off. Getting rid of Adam's, hoping Ings doesn't get injured and not bringing in a goalscorer, would be an even bigger and stupider gamble.

If I remember correctly wages alone are £80+ million per year. I stand to be corrected.

Especially if they go down with 40+ points. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they the last team to do so?

And the current rule is fine if it were easy to implement in close calls. As we've seen, it isn't. We're suggesting a minor change in the rule. Ice hockey has an "offside" rule which is of course different from football's, but has similarities. Roughly speaking a player in hockey is offside if he enters the attacking zone before the puck. The way they define this is he's offside if both his skates enter the zone before the puck. Note they determine this only with his skates, not any other part of the body. And you can't score goals in hockey by kicking the puck into the net! So using feet only for offside in football isn't unreasonable. The difference between being offside/onside with the current rule and such a new one would only be inches.

If we can get 4 (or 6) from the next two then the Liverpool match would be the proverbial free hit.

Two words. Sheffield United.
