Agreed, I also disagree that youngsters will respond positively to criticism, they need to be built up, not shot down at that age. Sure, be firm with them but coming out and saying none of them are good enough will just destroy their confidence, not inspire them to improve.

With arguably worse players.

All the Pool fans I know do not like Lallana either.

Nah, we take the full transfer fee received and allocate it to fee + wages (not complaining about this btw) this means we'll never replace a 30 million pound player with a 30 million pound player.

Yeah this, we all knew Mane was going to leave, we all knew Jan would be a **** storm and we all knew we'd sell him in the Summer. Nothing has changed.

They say the quote is fabricated. I.e he didn't say it.

We dead.

Er, I've actually seen a couple of reports linking Ronald with the job. http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/16/chelsea-planning-for-jose-mourinho-sack-southamptons-ronald-koeman-emerges-as-new-target-report-5568733/ http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/627207/Chelsea-Southampton-boss-Ronald-Koeman-replace-Jose-Mourinho-News-Gossip

At least I didn't claim he was quick?

Strong, agile, great tackler he has many commendable attributes and is a brilliant dm for the league. He is lazy and lacks commitment to the cause though.

It's great mate, don't judge

The Supreme Court of Appeals didn't so much consider it an error as they disagreed with her on the application of the law (a ruling which will now be binding on all high courts as SCA rulings bind all lesser courts). The two major points of contention were the principle of "dolus eventualis" (a form of intent in South African Law where the accused foresees the possibility of an unlawful result due to his conduct, but nonetheless persists in such conduct, reconciling himself or herself to the result in question) and Oscar's right to defend himself. The SCA found that a noise behind a door did not present a clear and present danger to his life and hence self defence could not apply and dolus eventualis applied regardless of whether Reeva or a robber was behind the door. The judge's initial ruling agreed with Oscar that he did not know who was behind the door and she therefore deemed he had not reconciled him to the consequences of his actions (killing Reeva). The SCA argued that he had reconciled himself to the possibility of killing someone and therefore the identity of the individual did not matter. The SCA further stated that their ruling in no way undermined their opinion of the legal capability of the judge and I suspect the verdict has been given to her largely to underscore this point.

I agree on all counts, I still think it would be pretty useful to have a big game player like him.

Alex Song would have been pretty sweet.

Yes and no, that's the minimum sentence which can be reduced in exceptional circumstances. He qualifies for parole after 3 years anyway I think as you can be paroled after serving 20% of your sentence?

Right decision this time. http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/dec/03/oscar-pistorius-appeal-court-guilty-murder-reeva-steenkamp-live

Jesus Christ.

Another goal? Someone talk to me

Really?

Howe, wouldn't mind Monk either, maybe Yakin considering we were heavily linked with him before. I would be satisfied with any of those but particularly Monk given his connection to the club, I'm not sure how Howe feels about us, hasn't he publicly shot us down before?

Doooooommmm (maybe)

One of my favourite Saints moments, sure the pens were a blow but that goal was amazing.

Alps is a decent poster, there are far more worthy candidates that evade the ban.

One loss in 8, shut up.

Load of old rubbish really.
