Saint Ian

Not sure it'll help our chances much. It looks like the referee is Mike Dean...

Agree entirely Albert. All very good points well made.

Looks like said reviews have miraculously disappeared!

And then something puts everything into perspective. Absolutely shocking at 31. RIP.

Going a goal down was the game changer, because Pellegrino was forced into making changes. If he'd actually tried to be positive (like Dyche was at St. Mary's), then it might have been three points instead of just one.

Martin Atkinson is referee. Funnily enough though, Kevin Friend is fourth official!

I believe it can change too. As long as he gets the bullet. And sharpish.

Just seen we've got Mike Dean refereeing tonight. Now I don't know whether to laugh or cry!!

I'd rather see his starting stats, which won't include two minute substitute appearances...

Any news on replacements at all Eric? I know you mentioned Lime Wood possibly being booked out. Just looking for any drop of optimism that this nightmare may soon be over...

If we are looking at replacing Pellegrino and this story is true, I really don't know why we are giving him any say in potential transfer deals. If so, worrying..

The scheduled referee is Chris Kavanagh, and will only be his sixth Premier League game. His first was our away game at WBA last season, and he also refereed our league cup win over Sunderland last season, so hopefully a good luck omen for us!

Cannot add much to what has already been said. An absolute legend of a man, who in hindsight should not have gone to Liverpool, even though it was understandable at the time. I will never forgive Brendan Rodgers for effectively ruining his career. Thank you Rickie for the goals and the memories.

Good afternoon to you too, Mr President..

Totally agree with this. If the deal with Chelsea goes ahead, I would push for Zouma rather than Ake.

Calling Ulrich Van Gobbel to the board...

As is Gabbiadini

Quote was as follows: “He certainly won’t leave on the basis that he can just go. We would not consider releasing him unless there was a decent transfer fee and secondly that we were in a position to replace him. If anybody comes along on the last day of the transfer window it’s not going to happen." http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/15005184.Fonte_asks_to_leave_Saints/

Couldn't agree more George. Also very handy when you are travelling with other people who maybe struggle with walking further distances too.

Not received ours yet either, but they are apparently being sent out this week/early next week.

Favourites for relegation? Like last season you mean? How did that work out then?

I've just watched it back. He was a good yard onside.

We do not have 5 or 6 better midfielders than Cork. Schneiderlin - Yes, for however much longer he is here. Wanyama and Davis - Arguably. Taider is unproven in the Premier League, and Ward-Prowse and Reed still have much to prove.

Add ons for a 32 year old? He will be a bit-part player for Liverpool, so makes no sense whatsoever to receive money based on appearances, goals or future transfers. Liverpool have done us over far too easily for my liking. We should have insisted on a lump sum.
