Someone did, but then someone else quickly pointed out that at this stage of the season 10 yellows is required for a ban.

I get that. It just seems crazy. I'm sure he'd love to be playing. The salaries at the top end of world football are absolutely ludicrous. For someone to get paid per week what many don't earn in a lifetime is beyond crazy.

It's ludicrous how much money footballers make. Even a guy like Gallagher who has barely played for the first team and doesn't often feature for the U23s gets 40K a week to train and sit on the bench or in the stands.

Starting to feel the nerves for this one. Get it done Saints! A win here and we can breathe a bit easier.

That's despicable. Forever a Bluebird (for rallying purposes to get a few points, sympathy etc.) but not really (when we have to pay). Repugnant!

Yep.

Fixed that for you...

Boufal's problem too. Maybe a summer of Ralph drilling it into him to release the ball quicker will pay dividends. There must be drills (one two touch) to reinforce this. Mind you, he strikes me as a stubborn player that thinks he knows it all. Same with Boufal, same with Hoedt. These players are virtually untrainable, egos too big, don't want to learn.

Massive **** up by Van Dyjk. 1-1 at the cottage.

Fabinho just committed two bookable offences in the space of 2 minutes. Gets a yellow for the first, ref bottles the second. Hoj or Romeu would have walked there...

Lallana looks a mile out of his depth in that Liverpool side. They are stroking the ball about working the angles and then Adam gets a touch and loses it, gets muscled off the ball or just falls over.

Exactly. Hence all the “perhaps”. Add another million to his value, he just scored vs Fulham, lovely movement, so easy. Miss him.

Trouble is that we’ll never know. We can’t rewrite history. Perhaps we’d have got 50-60M a year later, perhaps it might not have mattered. There’s also a possibility either he went on a sulk/strike, got badly injured, had a confidence crisis. So many outcomes, we had to choose to stick or twist, not a choice I’d have relished making.

The six pointer between Cardiff and Burnley is a massive game. Had we held on for 1-1 vs Cardiff we'd be so much more comfortable right now. What a difference one ****ty balls up by Stephens made.

Hopefully Saints, Wolves and Chelsea are all in the mood to play in 2 weeks time, a nail-biting time ahead. We've got 2 weeks to grow some nails.

Wow. Strong City team too.

Swansea lead vs Man City in the cup.

So who do you expect to drop? Cardiff or us (or someone else)?

Big 3 games coming up for Burnley. (Wolves, Bournemouth and Cardiff). They need to get something from that because afterwards they have (Chelsea, City, Everton and Arsenal). That Burnley vs Cardiff game could go a long way to deciding it. Hopefully Saints will have picked up plenty of points by then.

Cracking equalizer for Richie of Newcastle.

This is massive for us. What a terrible display by Burnley. That’s a crushing blow to their confidence.

What a save Schmeichal. Shades of Peter there!
