Saint-Armstrong

Is it sceptical of me to suggest Sky have picked Sadio Mané as MOTM so they can speak to him after the game…?

He's a Spaniard... A mighty Spaniard... Oriol, Romeu He's a Spaniard... A mighty Spaniard... Oriol, Romeu A Romeu A Romeu A Romeu A Romeu A Romeu...

Just like Morgan last season. Sit this one out, but you'll have to play after. Too late to be allowed to go now, and both Reed and Koeman are on record categorically saying we won't sell. Not 'we don't want to sell'.

Still waiting for Alps to respond to the £20 charity bet I suggested... ...if he's serious, and not on a massive troll, that is.

Would it not be fairer to compare the fully fit 13/14 team to.. Stekelenburg/Forster; Cédric, Fonte, Van Dijk*, Bertrand; Wanyama, Clasie, Romeu; Mané, Pellè, Tadić. ...? Also, compare the benches. *nailed on

Don't think it's that simple and short term. This goes right back to their year of intake, which was a long time before Dodd/Williams went anyway.

Koeman on Mane: “Sadio wasn’t 100% and I didn’t take the risk because it’s the start of the season. It’s not everything today.”

He's doing the post-match. "The fact is we didn't perform as well as we could have, we aren't happy about it. It's disappointing for everyone." "We need to pick ourselves up. I hope the public in St Mary's sunday are patient with us, we need them more than ever."

What he said.

****ing awful.

Don't think there's anything in it. Wonder where it's come from because it looks pretty certain we'll get VVD. In any case, please not Ranocchia...

£8m So it's been £10m-£12m all the way so far, and now it's £8m - even though Celtic didn't make the groups and missed out on even more money? Hmm.

I'd like the money to help other people who have problems with p!ssing the bed.

I'll have a £20 charity bet with you, if you're so sure.

Someone tweeted four/five hours ago that Victor had been seen in hospital waiting for the stomach specialist. Before any rumours, or comment from Koeman etc.

No Victor. He was in a private hospital earlier today for treatment from a stomach specialist.

Not expecting Gazzaniga to be with us by the time of the game. Kelvin will probably get an outing.
