    Have you got a bag to carry your grudges, Pomps. Yes, it is disappointing, but no one has died and hopefully it will still be a good evening. You'll live longer if you learn to relax and not take other people's causes to heart. Best revenge is for Farnborough to beat them.

    I don't have grudges against any other club except City, I think I'm allowed this one other grudge. Okay, I had a bit of a grudge against Spurs back in 2008/09 after they poached Redknapp, but I've nothing against them now. Anyhow, I'm not paying £12 to see an academy team play.

    Anybody poaching Redknapp should immediately be thanked and become your second team.

    Well PL, I'm right with you. I blame Pards and I hope you get your wish in that last sentence :)

    This would change the Southampton/Portsmouth dynamic

    Hmm. Good point. Didn't think that one through properly!

    There was a PS to that:

    "Oh and Jurgen says any Reds fans live down south? We can get tickets to Southampton home games if you don't mind popping along now and then and let us know who we can sign next summer"

    This seems to be lacking context?

    EDIT - sorry couldn't see the full Twitter wrap around. CRINGE.

    It is up there with one of the more cringey things I have seen recently. My like of Klopp evaporated pretty quickly once he arrived in England, just find him ****ing annoying now.

    He underperformed last season, if they get back to where they should be then things will reach cult-like level.

    I'm looking forward to it actually.



    No, not really. Yeah it will be weird.

    Well Klopp has spent c.£70m so we shall see if they can perform to their lofty expectations.

    Yeah, me too - he's totally over the top. He's gone from being an enjoyable showman to an irritating prat.

    Gonna be unpopular for this but I really rate Klopp. Can see how some find him cringy but I bet he inspires his players.

    Really fancy Liverpool to do well this year, 5th at worst imo.

    He was incredible at Dortmund to be fair, and seems like a genuine football fan. I like him.

    It's probably been mentioned, but THIRTY MILLION for Bolasie! That is outrageous money. Palace are laughing all the way to to the bank! (And then to Liverpool to buy Benteke)

    Yeah I do like Bolasie but £30m? <yikes>

    When Mane cost £34m not hard to see who got the better deal!

    As for Klopp just think some are keen to slate cos of the dislike for Liverpool. Wouldn't suprise me one bit if players we've never heard of such as Matip, Grujic & Karius are top drawer.
    Again, really think they'll be a force this year, espescially with no European football. See them having a flying start similar to us in 13/14 under Poch when we were clearly so much fitter than everyone else.

    I think it might be in one of my early posts, but after Saints beat Plymouth Argyle 3-1 to guarantee promotion to the Championship, I wanted us to sign Argyle's goalscorer. One Yannick Bolassie. He was so good that day as he had often been for them that season. How much would he have cost back then.?
