Big moment for you and him! A big old club to make a debut for.

No one is paying what we want for THB, surely. I see him as the type to stay professional after bids are rejected. I also don't see him as the Lallana "My head's already in [insert club here]" agitator type. I'd put money on him staying.

€20m not enough by any stretch.

Sevilla versus Southampton. Not a balanced proposition in any regard, really 😅

Yeah, it's all pointing towards eye-watering figures in land and property acquisition, isn't it.

The fuck is up with these back panels? Looks so poor. More so with the away kit, too. At least with the home kit the panel doesn't look too out of place with the stripes. With the away kit - ripply waves, far out, man... then BOOM - massive block of a panel in your face.

Pointless exercise, right? One of the only chances for fans to vent in a calm and directly challenging manner to those in power. To get them squirming. Instead we ask about individual players, kits, food around the stadium, the colour of the matchday programme seller's nails. Fuck.

File this under 'inane waste of one hour'.

Who on earth would get a chance to go to the fans forum and waste it by asking about menial shit like kits.

Big contract for someone who's just turned 30.

West Ham always seem to be too much for the Championship whenever they fall down here. Or at least my uneducated memory seems to think so.

Agreed. Then mount a fucking massive Manchester-on-Arabia esque legal challenge when they ban him for 10 matches. 20 years later, they'll give him the 10-match touchline ban.

He could produce that little moment of class at the end of games, something that I'm not sure too many others in our squad have the potential of doing. He'll be hard to replace like for like.

Touchline ban then

Just imagine he gets banned for the whole season, and the appeal is rejected. We then appoint Adam Lallana as the manager. It is rarely boring being a Saints fan!

Charlie Austin has, and always will be, a wind-up merchant of the highest order. Still remember his celebrations against us when playing for Swindon.

Do Blackburn have a really wealthy owner or am I misremembering? Or is it still the Venky's laughing stock?

The equivalent of Messi going to the ref trying to get Cucurella sent off for putting his hand near his mouth. Pests.

Looks good in this.

To who? Who are the FA accountable to? Most people don't see the FA in positive terms, banning Tonda won't improve that a jot. Who are they showing they 'mean business' to, exactly?

This is an organisation that thought appointing a defensively minded German would be good for our attack-blessed England team.

The optimist in me makes me hope that the punishment will be minimal - either some touchline bans or an indefinite suspended ban to come into place if he commits the same offence again. I hope they don't go in too hard on the young chap.

RIP you utter legend.

I'm dying to see tears from Paredes, Fernandez and particularly Emi Martinez. It'll be the chef's kiss of the tournament.

Parades worthy of about 10 yellow cards
