    When him and his twin brother Rafael were playing for Man Utd, one of them was yellow-carded for a foul committed by the other, can't remember which way round. Man Utd appealed and got the card transferred. That's about all I know about the Da Silva twins.

    Didn't Nigel quashie have a similar record, relegated with QPR, Forest, west brom, there was another club he was relegated with but you would have to have been insane to sign him. <whistle>

    In the thread above, the remaining games are listed for the 8 (EIGHT) teams that can still finish 8th. Whilst 8th does not receive a trophy, I suppose there is some psychological value for us to finish there. As there will be very few points between 8th and 15th, I doubt that it will make much difference to the board's view of the season, but would be satisfying anyway. I know I am a biased Saints fan, but we honestly should be 8th....with perhaps a nod to Leicester (who seriously underperformed early in the season and will feel they should be up there)....not even going to consider West Ham.

    My view of season: Europa League 7.5 (ultimately disappointing, but we nearly made it and some great highlights), entertainment 6 (or 9 if you include League Cup), results 6.5 (or 9 if you include League Cup), giving youngsters a chance 7.5, entertaining press conferences -1 (sorry, Claude). Using my own totally arbitrary weighting system for the points, it is a 7.5 for the whole season. Considering it wasn't great in the league, it is an achievement to finish in top half again (assuming we do). Plenty to play for next season with a quieter schedule.

    They obviously don't subscibe to the "long term injury" bar that Saints do. Mind you, it's difficult to see who else they would have picked!

    Why did we do them that favour?...because Klopp is blooming annoying and we wouldn't give him a win if his life depended on it.

    On Sky, Moyes talks about release clause in Jermaine Defoe's contract. He says that he wouldn't have allowed a clause like that, but the contract has to be honoured.

    What a horrible side WBA are. Park the bus, and waste time! Chelsea should have won by a cricket score!!

    Hmmmmm, Pool fans saying something similar perhaps. I think I'll save my critic of Brom for now.

    Chelsea had better lock Conte in a very secure gaol as I think someone like Barcelona are sniffing around. I'm sure that is why Chelsea were keen for him to sign a new and better contract. Maybe he will stay if they could sign Messi. Would be funny if Suarez ended up at the Bridge!!
