In the past 5 years we are 6th in net spend. Which sounds quite bad but then you think we've had no saleable assets for about 10 due to Ashleys DelBoy style approach

Ive enjoyed this debate. It has proved to me there are two types of people in this world. 1) People that love stats 2) Sexy people

I'll give Fish his due though. He is either the biggest bullshitter going or he has really researched this.

And does it base it on ability? For example if Kevin De Buyrne is free, 22 yards out I'd expect him to score just about every time. If it was Jamal Lascelles, I wouldn't.

Every manager gets sacked at some point.

So, to sum up again just in case anyone couldn't work it out from watching the games - Almiron is playing out of his skin.

Their forum is also seething Mike Dean is on VAR - as if he has a vendetta against Southampton FC.

Get good odds on a bet builder for this.

The Southampton forum are so disgruntled and apathetic that they are expecting a dry-bumming. Not a good sign. I'd prefer some over-confident Villa fans

Was just about to say that !

All I can offer is my experience of Marseille when we played in them in UEFA semi-final. I got so hammered before kick-off I lost my mates in the first half and spent the whole time just flicking the Vs at the Marseille end. The security to get into the stadium treat you like cattle. I didn't notice it be rough around but im from Wallsend. Has got a rep though. I think their fans rioted after the game. Hopefully he just got a bit drunk and will turn up soon.

As long as she is still warm?

Thats shit news mate. Hope he is found soon. Did he get in the ground?

Only a matter of time before his new mrs dumps him.

yeah I thought he went for a Dad-joke

I know loads of people that dodged it first/second time around and have got it recently. All been wiped out for a week as well.

Bappage. Great word.

Not sure a Paraguayan will adapt to the North East mate. Diego Gavilan all over again.

You knowzz it PaddockLad. Some people need to check the stats before they can decide if a player is good. Some don't.

Yeah, reckon he'll go Murphy. To be fair to Murphy he played like a young Cristiana Ronaldo when he came on against Villa.

I can generally see a good player by using my eyes. Call it a sixth-sense. (I know @Alex is going to mention Steven Taylor now 😝 )

To sum up.... Almiron is playing well?

Think he only has 18 months left on his contract so they might be consider it.

Instead of moaning about Referees we just moan about VAR now. Might as well just remove any technology especially the offside lines. I don't reckon they are that accurate unless you have some robot camera wheeling up and down the line following ball and player. Edit: I'd keep goal line tech btw.

Good time to integrate new players if they aren't necessarily required immediately.
