Still disagree @rossdapep ?
Thought you said you don't care about ratings?? Bit odd to go back and pick out a disagree rating from months ago, I could certainly do the same - but won't, as you have disagreed with me or made comments in the past that eventually came to fruition or turned out to be correct. Pointless exercise though.

Regarding, Southampton. They had very good form across 2020 and looked to be a good improving team, even if they were a bit loose defensively. Something seems to have happened as they have nosedived completely since the turn of the year.

Would love Anguissa in the summer instead of Sissoko/Winks.

Hojbjerg
Anguissa---------Ndombele
That trio behind Bale, Son and Kane would be horrible to play against.
I'm not convinced by Anguissa, good touches but he doesn't assist a lot or create that many goalscoring opportunities.

Would take all of Fulham's bsck 4 and keeper over him.

I think Reid is their best CM but don't think he'd be an upgrade anyone, only Winks/Sissoko but I'd still rather Skipp than him

Their early season form may well save them from relegation but they still look like they could be in trouble.

They still have to play Leicester, Liverpool, West Ham and us.
Don't you miss the day's when they had surpassed us? Gonna win the league you know,Hassenhutl (sp?) for El presidente :singing:
Personally looking forward to you posting the Jose cupped ear pic later after we smash the arse :hungry:

Is Brighton and Southampton considered a derby?
Yes as chosen alluded to the SCBC belt's on the line,bit like the midlands have theirs and London naturally.However you probably already know the real rivals would be Saints v Pompey,Brighton v Palace.So Saints v Brighton would be equivalent to us v Fulham or Wolves v Villa.

The biggest mystery of the season is this Sheffield United team winning at old trafford. Like how did that happen

Especially since Utd were considered title challengers and a win could have taken them top.

I would have love to seen the reaction here if that was us, oh Lord.

Could do with Sheff Utd getting a bounce today from Heckingbottom. Any sort of result and a win for us would get us to within touching distance provided we win our game in hand.
People always make things sound so easy. If Leicester drop points against one of the worst sides in the history of the Premier League while we win away from home against our fierce rivals and a side challenging for Europe, we'll be within touching distance - it's true, but not exactly likely!

11 whole points behind a side with far, far fewer resources than us. Safe to say today's a must-win, making the most of those games in hand, because finishing behind Leicester just isn't acceptable.

Make no mistake we are massively under achieving with the squad we have, no trophies or top 4 is unacceptable

To be fair has echoes of that season Sunderland set a bad point's tally.Can't recall if it was a record til Derby's effort or Sunderland gave Derby's record a real crack.Either way i'm certain they beat us 1-0 for their only win that season.

I guess these are all premier league footballers, so at the end of the day they’re all top players. Just shows anything can happen in this league.

The players have downed tools. I mean I know they lost regularly this season, but under Wilder they very rarely got battered like this.
