Sour Mash

It would be hard to argue that a club was well run on stable foundations if it was entirely reliant on the presence of one individual.

NC has done a brilliant job getting the Mail and BBC to put out these naff PR pieces for him on a regular basis.

Is this NC trying to get the purse strings loosened for the Jan transfer window?

Hart could well have assumed Gouffran was going to touch it and therefore Hart didn't dive for it. Who knows in less than a split second?

Think Chambers has a better cross on him than Clyne. Neither Clyne nor Shaw made the most of some good opportunities today.

Usually looks keen enough to me. Don't think he's a natural athlete which probably hasn't helped him under MP.

Fantastic. Only taken 18 months.

Lallana my motm, stood out at times. Cork good, unfortunate to be taken off again. Frustrating how many times Shaw and Clyne, particularly in the first half, had good opportunities to cross the ball and we produced nothing from it. Frustrating also that we're so far ahead of the dross below us like West Brom, but not quite up to the batch above us leaving us in limbo for league games the rest of this season.

Think a lot of the football supporters in Oz come from the Greek, Yugoslav etc communities and have adopted that kind of support for watching football over there.

Find that one pretty surprising.

Sounds exactly what we need, would be great to get him in this window. Re. Osvaldo - if he knows Inter are keen to get him on board, will that unsettle him? Can see why the move might appeal to him, but can't think for one minute why Inter would think we'd go for it?

You're kidding right?

Which bit of this judicial process are they unhappy with? Or is it just the verdict?

London is no different to any other big city in that regard though.

Plenty of pubs that will sell you a pint for well under £4. Peroni is a rip off anywhere. The only really expensive thing about London is housing/property.

Pints aren't £5 in London, that's rubbish. Peroni is ridiculously expensive wherever you are. Can still easily get a pint for circa £3.50 unless you're in a bar that is taking the p**s.

But did he have the expectation of delivering European football there?

Ramirez is tying up a lot more money than Puncheon would in relation to their return of goals/assists/appearances last season.

Would be a pretty random thing for them to make up though? Especially in the middle of the transfer window when they're not short of other things to speculate on.

Monkou and Lundekvam started their careers at Saints as full backs?

Yeah, I know all that. Liverpool isn't in the top three places in the world to visit though, neither should Sarajevo be though. Guess they need to try and mix these lists up each year to make them 'interesting'.

Liverpool is a good city and great for a p**s up, but it's not top 3 in the world and Sarajevo is definitely not 2nd.

Point being the Burnley crowd was poor, as will this one be, which was the original point made.

Can't really see why Palace would give that up to be honest.

Have missed him at times this season, would have been a very good option off the bench at times. £1.25m will hopefully be put to good use.
