Oh ffs, bogey team. Get a full strength XI and let's make up for the spawny results they've got against us Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It still annoys me massively that they have the semis at Wembley. I like the idea of having them at neutral venues but they should really be at grounds like Old Trafford, Villa Park etc where possible.

Cause he's class. Like, he is. And he's proven himself in Italy.

FL doesn't stand for Frank Lampard does it? Jack Cork's never scored a goal for us! That said, Lampard only started hitting double figures when he turned 25...

I'd take Vucinic in a heartbeat. Played in Italy all his career so might well struggle to adapt, but he's of a much, much higher quality than anybody else we could possibly acquire in the last few days of the window. Definitely worth a go until we can rebuild our strike force in the summer. Where's this from, anyway? Does seem a little far-fetched.

No shame in losing to the best Arsenal team in years, but I really think we can give them a game. Clyne to start. Picking up their movement between the lines will be the most important thing, so it's up to Pochettino to decide who is best equipped out of Cork and Wanyama to operate smoothly with Morgan and make sure the channels are blocked as much as possible. I'd probably go with Wanyama myself. They'll play a high line so Rodriguez is an option up top but I'd always start with Lambert at home.

You tell 'em Sheffield United away for the novelty of walking to a Southampton match. Will settle for Wednesday

Hey now, Barcelona Saint has every right to support his local team.

No. It's been triggered by his 45th start, which is fast approaching. Cortese started talks before he left.

I've just come out of 12 Years a Slave. I really don't know what to say about it. It filled me with uncontrollable sorrow and guilt. It is without a doubt the best film I’ve ever seen, and I won’t be able to stop thinking about it for at least the next few days. I can’t believe that anyone could walk out of that film and not reassess how they see racism today. I can’t believe that anyone could walk out pleased that there was a happy ending, or believe there was an ending at all.

He'll be after competitive wages. He's worth far more as leading scorer for a top 10 Premier League team than he was as a young prospect from the Championship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two good sentences.

True. How does it work if we haven't? There have been plenty of rumours that offering money up front is part of what's helped us secure these signings.

Yup, can't hurt. Just read that Clyne's contract is out at the end of the season too. Could have sworn he signed a three year deal?

I don't know. Loan him out now, and if he has a good World Cup we should be able to get a good price. Maybe not the full £15m considering his age but it depends.

Yeah, maybe. Don't know how it works. He's quite clearly got immense talent. Look at his record in La Liga and Serie A. His only footballing problem has been adapting to English football, which he hasn't done yet and might not at all. He might not even get the chance now! It would be a shame if he left but if he's upset the squad there's not much you can do.

Possibly, though I don't imagine the investigation will take long. Plenty of players will have seen what happened.

If anybody presses charges...which they won't. If it's had an effect on the whole squad then he's got to go, really. Still fancy Fredy Guarin if Inter are after Osvaldo?

Oh jesus christ. He's got it all to do for us, hasn't he?

£20m is probably what we'd ask for him, yeah, but he'd leave most clubs for less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They'd have to win it. Only FA Cup finalists get into Europe without winning it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good stuff. Thanks are in order both for her approach and her decision to address the fans directly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cortese won't have been personally requesting that Martin be kept from playing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
