    If Southgate doesn't include Ings in the Euro's squad he's a ****ing idiot. He's at worst England's 2nd most clinical striker behind Kane. Even if he's just cover for Kane he has to be in the squad.

    I had a read again of what I wrote and you will find that I didn't write "it" once so I don't get where you got 3 goes from.

    I always write Vestegaard wrong. It is what's in my predictive text and I can't be bothered to correct my mobile.

    6-3 is still my favourite scoreline.

    I work really hard every day, but don't get £80k per week. And if my performance was that lightweight in my peer group I would not get a new contract. Sorry but he is not for me

    You’ve lost me. Do you mean Danny? Mini Minor? Jack?​

    Agreed, for me the key moment of the see Eason we as Walcott not buryingan easyish chance to put us 2-0 against Wolves, would have kept us second or third. After that we lose 3-2 to United from 2-0, doubts creep in, confidence goes. If that goal had gone on, I am not sure where we would have finished, but I would have made sure my passport wAs up to date. A game of fine margins and I see no many knock on effects from that game

    Right. I think that was answered earlier, in that the more he plays, the less of his wages we pay Pool. So things being what they are, we’re forced to play him as much as possible. It makes sense from Liverpool’s point of view as it keeps him fresh for them.

    We have now been unbeaten in games more often than we’ve lost this season, somewhat improbably.

    Agreed. Of course all clubs have had injuries and the likes of Wolves could say similar about Jiminez, but the 3 players I'd say are in the hat for our POTY are those 3 you have mentioned - with nods to JWP & Romeu (another injury!) as well. Worth also mentioning that Vestergaard was in sensational form before his injury too.

    Really do not get the logic of playing him. We went up 4 positions tonight, maybe worth £4million. And maybe saved of the order of £50K by playing him, when easily he was by far our worst player. We won despite if him. Not sure there is any tangible risk and reward here. All I can see is cavalier risk with very little upside

    I can sense it now, the forward selection will be...

    Kane
    Rashford
    Calvert-Lewin
    Greenwood

    Liverpool are paying any money for Minamino. His salary is paid by reselling stolen hubcaps.

    All said, a great performance by Saints. Glad that Forster did not get punished for moving prior to the penalty kick. Back in the autumn I said that Saints are still afew players short of being a really good side. With the anticipated departures in the summer, I think they again need to concentrate on finding defenders and ensuring that Ings, Armsrong and Armstrong are not sold. Not sure than Walcott and Minamino are the answers but would like to see some of the youngsters given a do, What happened to Slattery and Smallbone ?

    The way that was written my brain struggled to get it. So we have more draws/wins than losses? Doesn’t sound right!

    It sure the options are great with Theo and Moussa’s form being patchy and maybe not wanting to over-play Tella

    I’m not that impressed by Mini but he linked up well with KWP well at times last night

    According to BBC voting JWP was our worst player and there was a definite campaign at one point to vote him down. Methinks Palace fans that don’t like that he is always winding someone up <laugh>
