Although he would like things to be better, Rickie is living back in his home city, still training and involved in football at the highest level...I doubt he is that unhappy. He was nearing the end of his career anyway...I'm not sure how much we would have played him. Worse to be not played by Southampton surely. There is always the possibility that he could have been revitalised under Koeman, but we will never know.

Yes, I think he would have used a lot less by us this season whatever happened.

Yeah, I doubt he regrets it. That move would never have come around again; he got the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing for his boyhood club, which isn't the worst way to spend one's twilight years even if it means less productive appearances. So long as Liverpool fans don't turn up the angst directed his way, that is.
 
Just seen this
Town’s FA Cup third round replay against Southampton at Portman Road on Wednesday 14th January has been chosen for live coverage on BBC One. The match will now kick-off at 7.55pm
 
"I'm currently on a yellow card. Oh I know what, I'm going to dive in late, from a mile away".
 
I'll happily take another 30 mins of this. It's been a decent game, and it's the last thing either of these sides will want ahead of their next PL games.
 
Who says Everton need a new keeper to replace Howard? Robles has been brilliant tonight.
 
Thank you. This would be sweet, West Ham going through 120 mins midweek, only to lose.

Then again, even if they turn this around and get through, that's an extra fixture for them to have to cope with during a horror run of upcoming games for them.
