Reid just jumped up and fell over, shocking decision IMO.

Couldn't agree more.

I just wish money was not a factor and we could insist on them seeing out their contracts.....and not let the players have everything their way all the time. "Sorry Nathaniel, we'd like you to stay and enjoy another 38 games (+ cups) for Southampton FC....and frankly don't care what you want."

Fair point, well made.

If anyone can the best out of an option to buy agreement........

Thought Swansea defended excellently, a game plan that worked. If you're then going to keep backing off Shelvey, the inevitable will happen. And did. Final ball was generally woeful. Can't really complain about the result, a classic smash and grab win.

At this rate we might need Shhhteve McLaren in to help as an interpreter.

Pato? Baby come back.....

His head's at Utd already.

Surely these guys know (Clyne apart) that they won't get the same game time or a guaranteed start if they move to a "bigger" club, and their careers could nosedive. When you're on £30-£50k per week is another £10-20k per week really worth that? Just don't get it.

"Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has received a boost in his long-term chase of Southampton and England defender Nathaniel Clyne." According to the Liverpool Echo (Sky Sports paper talk.) Thoughts??

He wasn't great, but Clive Tyldesley is far worse and I've no idea how he has made a career out of commentating. He's one of the main reasons I can't stomach ITV coverage.

We all know what a dive is, as would a panel of so-called experts so if they've dived for a penalty a 5 game ban or 3 game ban if outside the area. Would soon stop it, but then so would sending a player off as soon as they swear at the ref or lino but that won't happen either. And why on earth can't they make the playing advantage rule as per rugby? Leave play for 10-15 seconds and if no obvious advantage bring play back for a free kick. Really not that difficult. Off topic I appreciate so apologies.

So he stays on Liverpool's bench until retirement.....or (were it an option, which I don't think it will be) he comes back to us and regains fitness, form and game time with the possibility of this being noted by Brenda and thus giving him another fair crack at first team football with the scousers. I don't think SRL is stupid enough to be happy with warming the bench with the odd cup start or impact substitution until he retires, just because they're his boyhood club. Regardless of where (and if) he goes surely playing the game is still what he'd want over misty eyed sentiment towards LFC. Just my Xmas eve opinion.

Great all round performance - the other ST holders around us thought a draw would be good just for morale purposes, but a tireless performance all round. Reed excellent, gritty and played the simple pass every time. Not fazed at all.

When you look as good as he does I'm not sure it really matters......
