Ah, team building, get them all to the ground together instead of in their own cars…

Then we’d know that Mane was on the bus.

Tihnk all this shit about VvD is out of order. If he just stood in line and won headers, would that make him a good CB? Given our lack of penetration in midfield, it’s essential that some of our players have an attacking mindset, rather than backwards sideways.

I do have a crush on him and think he is Alan Hansen incarnate. Without something ‘different’ on the pitch, at least we’ve got a player who has the potential to alter the game. Nevermind he’s still a quality CB and his ‘mistakes’ can be rectified - ie deciding when to twat it and when to nick it in order to take it forward.

So, VvD is good and I hope to shit he doesn’t get injured.

Another CB, I’m not sold on Virgil. Nuisance at attacking set plays, but flatters to deceive I think. Makes some nice touches, or a good recovery tackle and people seem to gloss over the fact he was out of position.

This is awkward, KRG. You’re wrong, basically.

I wouldn’t buy Striker cos I’m still holding on for JROD to morph into gr8 all round centre forward. He will be like Long with finishing, and like Pelle with pace, all rolled into one. But also with a good first touch. Mark My Words Is Only Matter Of Time!

Oh look at all the clappy Virgil-ista’s*, dazzled by a cb with a touch. He waves his arms around glares at everyone else when we concede. That means he’s awesome.

*According to the law of Furbal/Barry, I have now won this argument. So you can all go home.

Bigger goals for our games (to be swapped to the end we are attacking at half time) and Ziyech.

It’s OK to be wrong. Admitting it in public will make you a better person.

Um, did you not see my post TCK?

Virgil-ista’s. It’s over. Sorry.

hahahahah fuck I only just got that

Virgil is the best defender we have, if you think he’s been shit then what does that say about the rest of them.

He has been commanding in about 80% of his games, played awesome passes etc.

Mane and Wanyama replacements according to the Ugly Inside :-

So this has appeared in a French speaking African paper (Stades)

Which basically means “I dont want to stay at Southampton” but apparently he never said it and his words have been misrepresentated from a Daily Star article.

And here is the original article in which he is reportedly supposed to have told Saints that he doesn’t want to sign a new contract. He’s out of contract in 2018 so we don’t really have to sell until summer 2017

Ah, now they’ve been MLG’d :-
