Part of me wants to lure you lot into the same room, then lock you in and observe the behavioural patterns, like they do with rats when testing new psycho-active drugs. Apparently I can’t (legally) do that. Shame.

It’ll probably just create a load of legal arguing and loop holes but I think they should need to prove a story is in the public’s best interest before publishing it. The problem with that is it would put certain magazines like Hello and Grazia out of business, as they post nothing but pointless hearsay and gossip about people’s personal lives.

Depends where you live really.

Adams has all the ingredients to become decent, he just needs a goal to get him started. Ings is nothing special and will probably be injured again soon. O’Bafemi is too injury prone to really judge yet. Long is not a Premier League striker and never has been.

It was discussed at length after City’s disallowed winner against Spurs a few weeks ago. I lie the rule in principle but I think it needs a bit of a tweak. The attacking team should only be penalised if the handball changed the trajectory of the ball. In other words if it brushes against somebody’s arm, the goal stands. If it pings off at 45 degrees, then it’s disallowed. In any case, this isn’t a VAR discussion, it’s a rules of the game discussion.

Why do people talk about 4/5 games as if it’s going to be a whole season? Liverpool are playing well but haven’t really been tested yet. They will have a bad spell like they did last year when they threw away a 7 point lead. An injury to one of their key players and it’s a different story. Likewise City won’t be that bad again.

Why? So long as it's the correct decision I see little reason to complain.

So either Hoj at LB in a 5 or Yosh in a 4.

I’m getting short changed by the Liverpool defenders in my fantasy team this season.

I think his agent is probably just playing tough in the hope we panic and up our offer. I like Hoj but he's not really done enough to get the attention of a top 6 team. Lemina is a better player, when he wants to be, and look how his big move turned out.

With all the turmoil in the boardroom in that period, we always knew he had out best interests in the front of his mind. R.I.P. Leon. 70 is too young these days.

No, you're right. There are plenty of dimwits out there who will believe his side of the story but you'd like to think most would see the bigger picture.

Jesus, have you really got nothing better to do.

9/11 conspiracy theorists. That was, by a long way, the most appalling thing I’ve ever witnessed and can’t imagine how much worse it must have been for the families of the victims. The last thing you’d want is not to be able to remember and respect them without it being hijacked (pardon the pun) by idiots who think they’re Jason f**king Bourne, with classified inside information on some top secret black opp.

From the outside world; if this match had been at OT and some idiot had turned up in a Liverpool shirt with the intention of causing trouble with the locals, I'd have expected him to be kicked out too.

This must be the highest total goals at SMS since the Sunderland game, I’d have though.

Don’t worry, it’s a complete borefest anyway.

Sound general advice.

The A27 was pretty slow going either side of the Bursledon roundabout when I drove through about 2.30. Don’t want to think about what it’s like now.

A small part of me does think it would be funny if the away end was half empty and we put out the reserves. I know it wont happen but nothing would hurt more than if we just weren't actually bothered about them any more.

It was Tommy Forecast plus a chunk of cash we needed to keep going. It may seem ridiculous now but we didn't really have a choice.

2014 was also my first thought when I saw the thread title. We really moved up a gear that summer. I’ll see that and raise you 2007. We p*ssed away a load of money we didn’t have on crap like Euell and Safri when we should have been trying to trim the wage bill. Not only did our actions eventually put us in administration, we also completely ignored the gaping holes in our defence and started the season losing 4-1 at home to a Jamie Scowcroft hat trick. At least 2008 was born out of poverty and necessity, even if they were crap.

Saganowski reminds me a lot of Gabbiadini. There's clearly a decent player in there but it's no coincidence that his form dropped after the team became crap.
