    Allegedly tried blackmailing Valbuena over a sex tape.

    Think that's pretty much why he won't be dropped. Agree he's not performing particularly well, but Forster would be a risk and if it doesn't pay off, we'd be relying on an even less confident Hart or Tom Heaton.

    No, they'll only actually do anything for issues inside the stadium.

    Stan Collymore running around Lille, thinking he's Ross Kemp, getting tear gassed, shouting 'journaliste' and grassing up a Russian is well worth a watch.
  6. First appointment I remember was Strachan even the Dave Jones was in charge when I went to my first game. The news came up on teletext that WGS had got the job. He was well down the list of who I wanted!

    UEFA have never punished a nation for trouble that's happened outside a stadium. They'll leave that to the police to prosecute individuals. That's why the only punishment handed out from Marseille was to the Russians for their behaviour in the stadium. We won't be kicked out of the tournament.

    Euro 2016

    Agree you've given example of better results but would argue that the team performance tonight was a lot closer to being a top international team than anything in the last 20 years. Better finishing and we'd have comfortably won this game. For me, Sterling doesn't offer enough defensive protection so Rose will be vulnerable against better opposition but we had a great balance in the midfield that we haven't had for years because of the obsession with playing Lampard and Gerrard together. If we could just knock a few years off the defence of the 00s of Cole Terry Ferdinand and we'd have something special!

    What does that tell you about the constant underachieving in between?! Best performance in a tournament game SINCE 96 (not better than 96) isn't a bad assessment. Can't think of any better. Not anywhere near good enough to be thinking about winning it but there's definitely something to build on.
  10. Can't see Everton breaking into the top 6 in the next 5 years. The sort of player they'd need to attract just won't want to join them.They,re the 4th biggest club in the north west with the 4th best manager. Man City will offer more money, champions league football and Pep. Man United can offer European football and Jose. Liverpool have proved last year they can perform in Europe, can offer the chance to work with Klopp and as it is apparently so important, a far greater history than Everton. and all of that is before mentioning the clubs that can offer the big city life in London that Everton will have to compete against in Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. If they'd had a big investment 10 years ago, Everton could have transformed themselves into a club the size of Chelsea and Spurs. Not a massive club, but one that can push for titles and regularly compete in Europe. They didn't so have fallen back into the next group of clubs, West Ham, Southampton, Stoke. We're clubs that don't have the big money (£100m will be nothing to the big clubs this summer). We have 2 choices in the transfer market. We can either go for big names who have never hit the top (Shaquiri, Bojan, Afellay) or we can set up a scouting system that looks across the world for hidden talents waiting to be unearthed that nobody has taken a gamble on before. The former option is easier but will cost you more in wages and you have to question why it hasn't worked for these players before despite their obvious talent. The latter option involves more risk and takes time to build the network that will make sure you are making the right decisions but when it works, you can find some real gems (mane, payet etc.). To go and spend as much as they have on a manager hints that Everton will choose the former option in their hunt for instant success. Southampton are the opposite, we've created a system where the manager of the first team isn't so important that we can't afford to let him go (if we'd matched Everton's offer he'd probably have stayed). We've got a structure where we can bring someone else into the fold with minimum effort, something that could and probably would if it weren't for the pr gaffes, been seamless. When Cortese and Liebherr first came in, they spoke about 'The Southampton Way', creating a playing style that we would become known for but it's become more than that, it's a culture that's been created where the club is more important than one or two individuals who will come and go. Everton have proved with this appointment that they are willing to throw money at problems to try and solve them. I'd rather do things 'The Southampton Way' than risk the future of my football club.
  11. Roy Hodgson.
  12. Millwall away in 2003.
  13. A goalkeeper shouldn't be judged on his shot to saves ratio. Primarily, a goalkeeper is able to see everything that is in front of him. If he can then organise his players so that he doesn't have to face many shots, he is doing a great job. This will mean that he will face the occasional shot from distance and the majority of shots from a distance where the attacker is favourite. There is no denying we are well organised at the back and Forster needs to take credit for this. He needs to work on reaching the corners of the goal at shots from distance but his general saves from shots ratio should not be questioned.
  14. Roger East reckons it's Wes Brown..
  15. Hull City v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Leicester 1-1 Villa v Southampton 0-0 Southampton v Man City 1-3 Arsenal v Southampton 2-1 Southampton v Man U 2-2 Burnley v Southampton 1-2 Southampton v Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace v Southampton 0-1 Southampton v Chelsea 1-1 13 points from those games should keep us around the top 6 going into the new year.

  18. 88 position swing. Has there been 2 clubs with a bigger swing in the last 3 years??
  19. Yesterday had - Wolves, Notts County, MK Dons and Gillingham at 31/2 Today had - Man Utd, Newcastle, Spurs and Man City/Arsenal at 19/1
  20. Fantastic pundit. Any defender out there could do a lot worse than listening to his analysis. Can learn a lot from him.
  21. Tiss complaining someone wasn't allowed to use his season ticket?? They're non-transferrable.. Yes other people do it, which he's made a point of in his tweets. This is because the steward has no idea that 'saints fan a' is not 'saints fan b'. The stewards would probably notice that 'saints fan c' is not Matt Le Tissier. Grow up...
  22. My prediction - 1) Man City 2) Man Utd 3) Chelsea 4) Arsenal 5) Spurs 6) Liverpool 7) Newcastle QPR 9) Everton 10) Sunderland 11) West Ham 12) Fulham 13) Stoke 14) West Brom 15) Aston Villa 16) Southampton 17) Swansea 18) Norwich 19) Reading 20) Wigan
  23. Are you Adam Davies' dad??
  24. From the youtube video it looks like he sweeps up behind the defence well. Potentially a very good signing.
  25. I know I'm a bit late, but my friend was offered sex with Guly. SHE refused. Rude *****. I think this turned him gay.
