Lallana so desperate to be loved.

Oh god

Liverpool are going to win on penalties, aren't they!!!

Sterling will miss one. It is written.

He is by far the most cringeworthy, cheesy, sound bite loving the sound of his own voice commentator ever. Truly truly dreadful. I literally can't have the volume on if he's commentating

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".

Sterling has been appalling this game

yep. think it's the Mungo Jerry sideburns.

How on earth city are not done and dusted is mental.

ridiculous pen decision earlier. think the ref bottled it.

Good god.

Liverpool equalise

The tator is creaming his pants

Is it Drury? The man should be banned.

oh f******k.

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

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

The internet gods were kind to you. They maximised your experience!!

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.

Maybe

What

I've seen the Following edition for PS4 on Simply Games for just over £30.

 

Anyone play it at all?

 

A mate of men loves it but he recommended Diablo 3 to me and I bought it, only to find it extremely repetitive and a bit shiiiite

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.

Torture

Here's a very interesting video: it features producer Tony Visconti [who worked with Bowie a lot] explaining in detail how the piece "Heroes" was constructed—track-by-track—in the studio. Especially interesting is the detail about the lead guitar part (three overlaid parts by Robert Fripp) and the vocals.

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

How Rooney is an automatic pick still is a disgrace....made worse that he is captain

Yep. Making him captain made him even harder to drop. Great decision by Roy.

Well if a team in China is willing to pay him £75m over three years they'd probably be willing to pay £25m to sign him.

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.

On Rooney. I wonder if United will cash in on him, if the reports are correct.

Get £25m+ for that lump....why not

Do you think anyone would actually pay £25m for that lump?

I don't want the England side to do well at all.

 

Tired of seeing the same old dross picked again and again and it's only by failing to progress in any competition that the FA might actually do something.

 

It's a vain hope at best

Don't understand people not wanting England to do well. It's your country. Like Saints are your local team. Did you say you wanted us to do badly when in relegation battles or in League One? No.

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?

No but he will probably be England left back at the euros and we know how that goes. I would imagine he'd only go to a London club though and I would not put my life savings on him staying if I had to make a choice. Hope he stays of course.

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.

We will probably need to replace Mane, Wanyama and Bertrand but those three should fetch decent money and enable us to get capable replacements, and in Romeu, we have one already.

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

Rooney out for around 2 months.

you watch England look decent in the games he misses then he walks straight back in. Captain fantastic and all that

You just know this is what will happen.
