Lallana so desperate to be loved.

Sterling will miss one. It is written.
-
Completely agree. His partner in crime Jim Beglin is dreadful as well. Know-all bore. Thought Drury had had his chips after that Ireland game when said something about "happy drunks".
-
yep. think it's the Mungo Jerry sideburns.
-
ridiculous pen decision earlier. think the ref bottled it.
-
Is it Drury? The man should be banned.
-
oh f******k.

Sterling should have buried that. That's another sitter he's missed.

Southampton vs Chelsea Post Match Throw away

Don't think we deserved to lose. Made them look pretty ordinary 1st half. Long going off and being replaced by the "flick" specialist made no sense to me. At least bring on Mane who has pace. Thought it all went to pot once he came on and Costa started the aggro. Yellow card fest, lost focus. Threw it away in the end. Who would have guessed 12 months ago that Long would be so essential to us. Didn't miss Vic one bit. Romeu and Clasie excellent. Will be quite happy to wave goodbye to Graziano and Mane come Summer (unless they start performing again) Oh well, taking my wife's advice "move on". -
Diego Costa what a w*nker what a w*nker!" Brilliant
-
funny how a few seconds can seem such a long time. The relief was almost sexual
-
Yessssss. My stream froze a split second before the goal. Agonizing seconds waiting!! Go on Long. Get innnnn. Beautiful.

There is a Dying Light demo on PSN which should give you an idea if it's your thing or not. My son has it, he loved it, but it didn't grab me as I'm not such a fan of 1st person games these days.

Very interesting seeing how it was layered and hearing all the different sounds - things I'd not spotted before. Thanks for posting.

Yep. Making him captain made him even harder to drop. Great decision by Roy.
-
Hmm..must admit I hadn't thought about China. Still, it would require Rooney to want to go there with Coleen and their kids. What about USA? I can see that being a better fit but not sure they'd cough up £25m.
-
Do you think anyone would actually pay £25m for that lump?

I'm with Napalm I'm afraid. Another traitor My hope is if it's real bad we might get some change - I know, I know.......... it's clutching at straws! I was a passionate supporter, from my heart, but that's gone. Can't help what my heart tells me. Can't believe I actually feel that way. I find it difficult to get behind a team managed by Hodgson, a man who didn't have the honour to offer his resignation after that awful World Cup, a manager who only took one right back with the master plan of putting Milner in there as back up, or who calls up Chambers as soon as he moved to Arsenal, or picks players who spend most of their time sitting on the bench or are out injured for large parts of the season, or a man who doesn't appear to have a philosophy or system, or plays players out of position. While I'm on the psychiatrist couch I'll admit that seeing Shaw, Lallana and Lambert called up was a very proud moment for me, but come the world Cup they'd gone elsewhere pretty much - that left a bad taste which I've never quite got over concerning England. I'm not sure who should be the next manager, but whoever it is I'd like him to pick on merit not on team, I'd like him to say that if you're sitting on the bench and not getting much game time you've got no chance with England, I'd like him to say that playing week-in-week-out is important and that being in a CL team doesn't give you any priority. I'd like him to have a system and for him to find the players that best fit that system, not shoe-horning star players in because they are star players. Is that asking for too much?
-
I'm not so sure Roy will have him as his left back but I hear you....the England situation can be poisonous to our players. He signed a four and a half year contract so I can't see us letting him go just yet. Which London club would he go to? Spurs don't need him. Arsenal don't need him....would he go back to Chelsea? I can't see it. United don't need him. That leaves Man City and Liverpool, not sure they need him either. Hope I'm right.

Why Bertrand? Are there rumours?

I think Spurs and Poch must be pinching themselves at how the season has turned out so far. Don't think any of us would have predicted that Chelsea and Man U would be so poor, thus allowing Spurs that chance at top four. Their pursuit of Vic and Berahino says to me they weren't convinced the squad was strong enough at the start of the season and couldn't have imagined they'd be where they are now. Knowing that Man U and Chelsea are out of the running must have given them a mighty injection of belief. This is their chance. Uugh For me there is no doubt that Poch is a good manager but I do think he is starting to believe the hype surrounding himself and has been the beneficiary of a poor league this season. He's been good whilst the other normal contenders have been poor. Everything seems to have gone for them, from very few injuries to key players, lucky ref decisions to underperforming big teams. The real test of whether he is the real deal will be next season, if he stays, which I think he will. Why give up CL football to go and rebuild another team? (unless it's to another CL team like Athletico.......which I see as a good fit for him.) Would love him to leave Spurs - can't stand 'em. Them in combination with Poch is a heady brew of negativity for me. Silly really - wish it didn't bother me

You just know this is what will happen.
