What about the money spent on the training facilities, the money blown on Osvaldo, the day to day running costs etc.?

I would say that most of the latter players you mentioned have played better more frequently than just 30 mins every 3rd or 4th game.

Didn't he used to be the singer in A Flock of Seagulls?

1 and 2 could be answers to specific questions. 3 could be down to the situation changing at Board level after discussions with him? I don't know. You could be right but unless you are privy to the conversations that the club management have between themselves it is all just conjecture.

Having a strong team/squad is one thing. Having that team/squad play consistently is another. We managed it better last season but there have been a number of times this season where we have shown we are a very decent side - but we haven't managed to do it consistently. The recent runs of defeats has been frustrating but with the exception of the Liverpool game we have been very close to getting a result. Id be more worried if we were being played off the park in every game. The silly mistakes are a big concern as is the failure to turn periods of domination into goals. Work to be done but we are no where near being the poorest side in the Premiership.

Don't encourage him. Once he gets attached to you it is very difficult to shake him off!

A worse manager? Isnt it the same bloke? And what is it about sodomy in the squad?

I am not sure whether he is protecting himself or just being honest? When you have a run of defeats it must cause concern within any club though.

Indeed

Just my opinion but I don't think that Koeman will walk and I don't think that the club are in a hurry to sack him.

Normally though the rumour says link. This one says a bid has been rejected.

It cant be true. The Board are a bunch of tightwads.

It is very difficult to get an accurate figure. Having worked with the Rape & Serious Sexual Offences unit for the CPS in Kent they will say that the actual figures are much higher than the recorded figures. I used the figures from Rape Crisis because they will be closer to the truth than the figures for reported sexual crime. From personal experience though discussions with female friends I know that many sexual offences go unreported. A number of reported cases get dropped on a regular basis for a number of reasons Whatever the actual figures, the simple fact is that there is an awful lot of sexual crime still going on all around the world. There are cultural issues, yes, but the bottom line is that where ever you are in the world, there are some men who cannot control themselves, drunk or otherwise.

Made some awesome music. Made some mediocre music. Made some poor music. But a true rock legend. Lucky enough to see him at Glastonbury in 2000. RIP.

Didn't know he was ill. Sad news.

You make it sound like they were all desperate to stay and we sold them anyway! This is the positive thread remember!!!

Worm?

Yes, I do find that easier to understand. But apart from that?

He probably has some way to go before he is subbed more than Lallana but it would be good to see him last 90 mins.

He said earlier that we were looking to bring in a striker but wouldn't be drawn on a name.

I keep thinking we will turn it around soon, but after today I am beginning to wonder when. Thanks for the feedback. You don't really get a proper feel for a game form a phone app.

And there is the rub. Time for the Koeman brothers to earn their corn.

I am not saying that.

Sometimes what is best for you is not what is best for YOU, if you get my drift.
