Pass the Dutchie

Here's the same thing but without any commentary: http://www.feed4u.tv/watch/1622714/1/FC-Groningen-vs-Southampton-FC.html

Romeu doing a great Wanyama imitation there.

Perhaps not, although (as posted before) the rumours are that Mourinho doesn't want to use him. http://www.eurosport.com/football/jose-mourinho-axes-nine-bastian-schweinsteiger-tim-fosu-mensah-cameron-borthwick-jackson-out_sto5700855/story.shtml

AS Roma seriously in for Hakim Ziyech according to La Gazetta dello Sport. Opening bid of €8 million declined by FC Twente. http://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/29-07-2016/roma-eppur-si-muove-c-jolly-arrivare-ziyech-160512693103.shtml

I'd gladly take Timothy Fosu-Mensah.

4-0 (penalty)

I don't want to be another whining voice on here, but I personally prefer to keep the potentially interesting threads like this one 'clean' and keep the unbased speculation and discussion in their own threads (and there are many for just that).

'Rumours' may be the key word here.

There's 0% actual information in that article. The writer personally thinks Cuco is the weakest player, so he guesses that Cuco may be the first to leave. Obviously it's not impossible that this will actually happen.

Welcome to the forum, André.

While Cedric and Martina are decent and capable players, it'd be great to have that same close to 100% feeling on the right as we do in the centre and left.

Yes, today a judge decided that De Graafschap will definitely be relegated, which means Twente can stay (source: http://www.nu.nl/voetbal/4293799/graafschap-definitief-gedegradeerd-verlies-kort-geding.html)

2-0 (late penalty taken by J-Rod) EDIT: already answered I see. Oh well!

Added (sort of).

With respect for the guy doing his job with those interviews, I do wish he wouldn't always include the expected answer in his question. Instead of "How very excited are you about this or that?" just ask 'How do you feel about this or that?". You'll probably get the same polite answers in most cases but at least it leaves some room for creativity.

We could, but I'm just going with the team that's presented as such on the Saints website.

Everybody (I assume) knows our squad, but I still thought it'd be nice to have a thread that keeps the score over time. I'll try to keep this updated with incoming & departing players. Who's currently in? Where do we look strong/weak? Goalkeepers: - Alex McCarthy - 2019 - Stuart Taylor - 2017 - Fraser Forster - 2021 Defenders: - Cédric Soares -2020 - Maya Yoshida - 2018 - Florin Gardos - 2018 - Jose Fonte - 2018 - Cuco Martina - 2017 - Jack Stephens - 2019 - Virgil van Dijk - 2022 - Ryan Bertrand - 2021 - Matt Targett - 2019 - Jeremy Pied - 2018 Midfielders: - Jordy Clasie - 2020 - Steven Davis - 2019 - Dusan Tadic - 2020 - Oriol Romeu - 2018 - James Ward-Prowse - 2022 - Harrison Reed - 2018 - Lloyd Isgrove - 2017 - Sam McQueen - 2018 - Nathan Redmond - 2021 - Pierre-Emile Højbjerg - 2021 - Sofiane Boufal - 2021 Strikers: - Shane Long - 2020 - Jay Rodriguez - 2019 - Charlie Austin - 2020

1. Man Utd 2. Chelsea 3. Man City 4. Leicester 5. Tottenham 6. Arse 7. Saints 18. Sunderland 19. Swansea 20. Hull

Surely Gazzaniga looks wise. Just not playing enough of course. I'd say Charlie Austin is next in line, but he hasn't played much yet either!

According to The Sun today he was told he can leave.

Sissoko best man in the game so far.

Would Pelle still be called up for the Italian team if he plays in the Chinese league?

In France only the top two qualify directly for the CL. Lyon finished 3rd behind Bordeaux and Marseille, and ahead of Toulouse, Lille and PSG, which brought them to the CL play-off round. There they beat Anderlecht with an aggregate score of 8-2 (5-1 and 3-1). In the group phase with Liverpool, Fiorentina and Debrecen they finished 2nd behind Fiorentina. In the round of 16 they beat Real Madrid, and in the quarter finals they beat Bordeaux, before going out against Bayern Munich. So, to answer your question: League 1 is probably not as strong, but on the road to the semi-finals they did beat the Preamier League #2 (1-2 at Anfield), the La Liga #2, and the League 1 champions.

You wrote 'anti English racism' which implies there is such a thing as an English race. If you meant racism against English POC, I take my words back.
