Absolutely perfect for me on PS4. What’s your broadband speed? Are you plugged direct into your router?

And to think he was slated by a fair few as a waste of money in the summer.... we’d be stuffed without him. Hopefully he stays fit

The real problem for me is that hassenhuttl doesn’t appear happy or particularly engaged. We need to try everything to address that if possible, but with the squad we have it’s a big ask

If it brings some comfort to descendants of persecuted people then I’m all for it. And massacres should be pilloried surely?? It’s not a question of guilt, but there is much of Britain’s past that is shameful. However we are no different to pretty much any country in this regard.

Scrap that... just seen contracted players (ie Archer) will only play 3 group games plus the final if the team makes it. Also seen that we’ve been paired with Cardiff as “rivals” XD As much as I’m supportive of the idea, not having the countries best players available at all times, as well as having some poor naming of teams that exclude the counties who don’t have a team (Welsh, Manchester, Birmingham) seems a strange way to go about the competition imo

Dawson lost out to Chris Jordan, which is probably the right call. Sure we’ll pick Dawson up in the main draft, though I have no clue how it all works! Going to be exciting seeing Archer playing regularly at the Bowl next year

We've bought plenty of players after they've done alright in Scotland in recent years, and in fact they've always done well for us, albeit some would disagree on Forster

Carlton Palmer. Was here for longer but only actually good for one year

Did he play Lb for us? Pretty sure he was a centre back, but played right back at times, though that may be football manager memory rather than real life!

I’m glad Vestergaard has finally been recognised as the Southampton hero he clearly is...

Where’s Olivier Bernard?? Definitely deserves to be bottom of that list. And very harsh on targett

I think he / she’s deliberately ignoring the point tbh...

Didn't say we would did I.... Just that we would have a chance if we were well run

Maybe I've misunderstood it then. I thought it meant the top clubs leaving their leagues for a euro competition instead, with the possibility they may be relegated back to their domestic league. That's what I'd like tbh

Sounds fantastic tbh. Let us play in a top League where we have a chance of winning if we are the best run, like used to happen pre the 90s. Our chances of winning anything these days are very slim no matter what we do, this would change that

Oh dear Chris Wood...

Quite. I’m sure there were people saying he’d earnt his entire salary just for his debut when he scored the winner at old Trafford! Not that I agree but I also couldn’t say he’s been a waste of money either. His performances in the early days had him getting talk of an England callup

That’s not the same as a regret though. You wouldn’t regret getting 98% in a test because you could have got 100%, unless the person is a perfectionist, in which case they’re doomed to a miserable existence anyway

Disagree. My mistakes have led me to where I am today, and if I’m happy with that, why would I have any regrets?

Took me a while to realise that meant straight from the horses mouth. Thought it was kiss my ass at first!!

Holland seems to always do well when called upon. Not sure why he's not been given a better crack than he has so far - albeit I've never actually seen him play!

Can we possibly have a Tedious Argument thread to supplement the Kindergarten one on the other board?? Would really help in here right now

sheesh... anyone getting worked up over this needs to get out more and get laid... in that order

Looking at the table we’ve scored the most batting points out of anyone in the top tier! Shows we are moving in the right direction with the bat to go with our very good bowling line up

Ah but he did! There was an interview where he said he continued to give everything for Southampton! It was evident by his surly attitude and weight gain during that season... Not to mention him refusing to train Mane signed a contract with us then refused to sign another one, thus forcing our hand. Would he have thrown his toys out if we'd refused to sell him to Liverpool? We'll never know. Vd signed a new contract for more money then demanded a move soon after. Compromise was needed on both sides, however as far as I can see it vd just dug his heels in until he got what he wanted.
