foxfanazer Posted 5 July 2020 Share Posted 5 July 2020 Quite like Southampton to be honest. Always seek to have had a decent model in terms of how the clubs run. OK they have their bad spells and never really threaten the European places but they bring some quality players through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 5 July 2020 Share Posted 5 July 2020 This game is a brilliant watch. Some horrific and exceptional defending, some brilliant passages of play and a load of mistakes, bodies on the line, a good tempo... excellent stuff! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 5 July 2020 Share Posted 5 July 2020 Nothing to do with our recent form or anything but its hard to believe we beat Southampton like that given how they have played since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once or twice, fair enough. But I wonder if they understand the political ambitions of BLM. I thought the FA had the kick racism out campaign, which is a worthy cause and which I wholeheartedly support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a lot of good games recently now the fitness is up to scratch. Can’t believe how many people have claimed to not be interested in watching games behind closed doors.

We'll have to disagree then. Your comment on the "political ambitions" of BLM says a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Premier League footballer refused, for whatever reason, to take the knee (like McClean and his poppy aversion), he would be roundly savaged - and probably branded a ‘racist’ - before he even had the chance to defend himself. So the safe option - even if he is not entirely comfortable with the gesture (which, after all, is imported from America and meant nothing to most people in this country until a few weeks ago) - is to keep his thoughts to himself, stay quiet and conform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Racist media people are the funniest, Dizzy rascals interview with Piers Morgan the other day was classic, when Dizzy started talking about bringing everyone together he hated it.

Do we ignore it because we weren't involved? Its fvcking disgusting that VAR picks and chooses what it looks at. This wouldve took 10 seconds to prove a clear and obvious error.

Then Pep has the audacity to moan about his players needing "protection". Obviously the refs aren’t going to do anything about it so it will get worse, time for the players to do something about it and start rolling round feigning injury when they get touched by a player trying to stop a counter attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 5 July 2020 Share Posted 5 July 2020 Have to say out of all the pundits on tv, I really enjoy listening to Lineker, Shearer and Wright talk. Micah Richards has also slotted in brilliantly, manages to describe key bits of play without making it dull. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter trio just do punditry well and are great to listen to. I can't imagine many wanting to listen to Redknapp/Cole/Souness on a podcast as you would lineker, shearer and Wright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky need to sack Souness, Redknapp and Alan Smith as they offer nothing. Neville and Carragher are great together and should lead the Sky coverage more. I like Roy Keane even though I think he's putting on the hard man persona to get more viewers but it's comedy gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
