Looking more and more like Joe McElderry by the day. He spend lots of time with his Arsenal mates Chambers and Oxo. Obviously intent on jumping ship as soon as they give him a contract.

Have you forgotten Cortese being present when the club was pressurising a move to West Ham for Rickie. Even then he knew he wasn't in Pochettino's long term plans. In a recent interview he mentioned he might not have left had he realised the club had ambition. How did he get that impression? From Pochettino as he left the club.

COMING SOON IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS... your very own LUKE SHAW BUTT

Clyne played really well and I'm certain he'll be in the right back position for England for many years to come. These are the games that have been missing and have seen the home countries level of football drop. They have to bring them back for the sake of British football. On the sad note my heart bleeds seeing Rickie a shadow of the player he was 6 months ago. Biggest mistake in his career going back to Liverpool. On reflection his decision to move must have been forced upon him by Cortese and Pochettino.

The whole world's gone bonkers and I'm astonished david in Sweden's being caught up in the madness. We get Halloween at the end of August, Christmas mid September and January Transfers in early November. What is it with all the impatience and inability to live today now instead of the distant future.

Final substitution. No Lovren. How happy he has to be. Hahaha!!

Dejan's daughter doesn't hold her punches when daddy doesn't get picked. A case of her throwing her flares out of her pram!

Makes wonderful reading and does so much the smooth away all the stress and pain he caused over the summer. Maybe now, Lovren will keep his big mouth well and truly shut.

Looks like Clyne's taken a hit. Don't forget the game against Scotland. All we need is Forster being annihilated .

Spurs prepared to swop Chadli for Morgan http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/11/13/mistake-avoided-spurs-were-reportedly-willing-to-swap-goal-scori/

A new interview which is less dramatic on him leaving. He's really happy at the club. It's more that he'll see at the end of the season how things finish, and with the club. http://www.fff.fr/actualites/144484-553021-schneiderlin-jai-franchi-un-cap French Football Federation > Schneiderlin "I've turned a corner" Schneiderlin : "J'ai franchi un cap" Tuesday, November 11, 2014 - 5:45 p.m. - Without even considered a "regular" selection, Morgan Schneiderlin said Tuesday that his participation in the 2014 World Cup had "liberated". Aborted departure in the offseason Southampton you he pushed to do more and do one of the reasons for your good start? "Maybe. After I had always wanted to do a big season, especially after my appointment for the World Cup. I knew there would be a lot more expectations about me that looks are turned to me . This little drama has encouraged me to work harder and get better. I'm also lucky to be in a team that is doing well. " How is it that Southampton is second in the Premier League and you feel like your progress despite aborted start? "If someone had told me at the end of the transfer window that Southampton would be second, I do not have believed and I guess for you outside is even more surprising. Even though we lost a lot of world, the club has recruited well. A new coach came up with a new philosophy. We always have this desire to play ball, we have a strong team that cash few goals and playing good football. Personally, I 'm has to work even harder to become even better. " Is it true that you have been courted by the English Federation at a time? "I did all the youth teams in France, but I've never had contact with the Football Association. It is the press who spoke in England, but in my head, I never wanted to change his nationality. My goal has always been to wear the blue jersey and play for France. " Do you feel now as a regular in the France team? "I can not consider myself a regular, it's only been 3-4 months. This changes compared to my first choice, my attitude changed. I know people, I'm more comfortable. But I have to prove each selection and each weekend club that I deserve to be Team of France. They put me at ease from the start, there is more confidence, I know better players. Play with them , know their automation, it helps me be more efficient in the field. " Do not you want to let you more Blue? "I can do more but it does not take any more than I forget my playing style. I'm not a player who will dribble players 3-4, 5-6 wheels and make the ball down. I'm a player sober, I like everything passes movements. I can go into the box but the game and the opportunities that will lead me to do this. I'll try to release a little more when next game. I know my performance is okay but I can do better. " Do you fear for your future selection, this long period that separates you from the Euro 2016? "It's not a fear but a desire to every weekend, every game, every practice, to give the best of myself and show it to the coach. The coach will make system changes, will bring new players and this is quite normal and legitimate, but I do not put extra pressure me. " L'Equipe de France you she helped advance? "I feel I have progressed, I feel it every day. I am a worker, so I work a lot in training but having played the World Cup psychologically liberated me and gave me confidence in myself and I feel in the club. " Do you think that your progress will go through a start to a big club? "I just turned 25, I turned a corner. A career passes quickly and I want to play in a big club. Today I am in Southampton, we are second in the Premier League, it happens well. We'll see at the end of the season what will happen if we are still in the area of ​​the Champions League, and I will make the choice, I will see with my club.

No Lovren in the Croatian team playing Argentina. Not even on the subs bench

Alex Crook came across very well putting a very good light on things at the club these days. Let's hope what he says comes to pass.

The story is doing the rounds to add to the post Halloween blues

With Saints doing so well, the Media are competing with each other to see who can unsettle us. They just can't bear to see us doing well. At the same time, every time Spurs are being criticised by their supporters, all these stories raise their ugly heads as Levy calls his media friends to print rumors to appease their fan base.

Where Lovren is concerned I believe his missus was the real reason for him leaving Saints. She probably told him if she was going to suffering living in the UK, he'd be better earning big money. It is probably the reason he's not playing well since his move. A dodgy relationship or marriage is the last thing a player needs. It appears she gave him hell for the nude photos during the World Cup and the comments of "He's so cute" from swooning women and men on the social media. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/off-the-pitch/liverpool/news/lovrens-wife-suffered-after-naked-pics_186266.html So, I think, if he continues playing the way he's doing and outraging the Anfield supporters he'll be getting an ultimatum from the wife and her family that she wants to go back home. We can but hope.

I really fear that one of the big clubs will try to tap him or Atletico up before we ever get around to signing him. So many are desperate for center backs and knowing their unethical tactics it's going to really be a hard one.

Interesting to hear this morning that Spurs fired the majority of their scouts to save money. Methinks they realised all they needed to do was steal the best players from other clubs.

Obviously that was One Direction he wasn't going to get as easily as a move to Manchester United.

And all 5 points above Leicester and the bottom 3. Now that would be bliss to have Liverpool and Spurs joint bottom.
