    For me Sterling will generally look better than he is when he is surrounded by good players, in a team who love to attack. The same could be apply when he was at Liverpool, and that front three of himself, Suarez and Sturridge were scoring for fun in the season where they almost won the title.

    Quality players are going to make him look better. And opposition defenders are going to focus more on those quality players than on him. Whether it's Suarez who they're trying to deal with, or KDB.

    Put him in a side who attack down the right, down the left, through the middle, over and over again, and with his pace he really should do well. Put him in a side who lack quality, who lack pace in their attack, who require him to create...

    I love how they make such a big fuss of Gareth Barry reaching 6oo PREMIER LEAGUE appearences, only Lampard and Giggs in front of him.

    What makes me laugh though, with this type of record, is that anything before is completely ignored!! You hear it alot, but the top division beforehand seems like it's ignored sometimes.

    Just seen it on MOTD, more like Mr L Mason being Mr L, completely hopeless, Mason.. Jeez we have got some unbelievably bad refereeing decisions in this league so far this season.

    Yeah, fair point. Both team's first goals were dodgy.

    Couldnt see this posted anywhere else, so apologies if repeating, but The Sun reporting that Koeman is interested in a January moved for Forster with a £15 million offer. It's always nice to start the day off with a giggle.

    If Stekelenburg had punched it then the ref wouldn't have had the chance to make a (rubbish) decision.

    But it was rubbish, and Roger East will also be in trouble for that weird Hull penalty (and letting Arsenal take their pen while Livermore was still on). Some of these lower tier refs have had a dodgy start.

    It was a foul , but at the same time negredo didn't exactly smash into with any force , for me he should be keeping hold of that ball.

    Agreed. He did drop it like his arms were made from tissue.

    It always starts with a giggle but ends with an upped price and Saints flogging the player!

    Capoue having a great start to the season. 1-0 Watford. I need to start giving Watford the credit they deserve - they're starting to become a tough team to beat. The first team I ever saw Saints play at the Dell.

    I don't care if Tottenham, Everton and Liverpool all jointly win the league this season. All that matters is Mourinho failing again.

    After a lot of thinking and pondering, I've come to the conclusion that Pogba isn't worth £100 million.

    I said in the Summer I thought he was massively overrated, probably still a bit early though.

    A penny for Morgans thoughts. I bet constant bench warming wasn't exactly how his agent worded the move to Utd. He must be contemplating his future now, surely.
