Monday mornings ...

Not any more NTP. Finally we can all move forward in peace.

I’m not aware of any update since Jurgen said a few weeks Tarmo. I’m thinking the Newcastle game on September 14th after the international break.

Thank you @blackislekillie. It has taken years but we finally have a forum where we can have a sensible discussion about the English game.

Yesterday’s 84 page Southampton v Liverpool programme £4. Featured a cover on the back with Mo Salah on it with the visitors section upside down. Clever idea.

You got him ...

Can’t beat a wee Sunday stir up Heed . Now which photo with the trophy in Madrid will I pick for Del this time ...

... the Sky Sports advert when he first subscribed 20 years ago said it was the best league in world. #loyalcustomer

Also got 3 out of the 4 at Hampden and a pair for a QF in Rome .

Nice one Heed ! Good win for Berwick ... someone wouldn’t have been happy !

Great start from the Rose and another big crowd yesterday. Shaping up to be a great season at the top.

I bet I watch more local football than you slim .

I only played dots for a few weeks TP for a bit of fun having never bothered with them. Just couldn’t get into it.

Another trophy for Liverpool during the week and top of the very early Premier League table the underlying fume is enormous. Could erupt at any moment.

I watch loads of stuff at all levels mainly up here 91 and help out a bit at a couple of local clubs but get to the odd Liverpool game. It annoys the living daylights out of P&B’s Sky Sports customers who have tried miserably using every tactic under the sun to shoot me down so they can get back to posting all sorts of make believe about something they’ve only ever seen on the telly. It’s generally very quiet now nowadays though we used to have seperate Lolverpool threads and lots of generally vile stuff but most have moved onto other interests such as pet care, wrestling, doing crosswords etc.

Long one down to the south coast today and coming off the back off the Super Cup on Wednesday night was worried about this one. Fabinho, Gomez and Henderson didn’t start but it was still a very strong side Klopp was able to put out. Liverpool certainly rode their luck a bit today but in the end 2 quality finishes from Mane and Firmino were the difference. Adrian made an arse of the Ings goal late on and made it a nervy ending but he made 2 excellent saves in the first half to stop Liverpool from going behind and another after half time from a deflected shot. So 6 points out of 6 to start with coming off the back of such a disjointed pre-season and with the Charity Shield and Super Cup got to be delighted. Man City and Spurs both dropping points a bonus also. The Southampton support has always had a bit of a roaster element and it all got too much for some today with the Champions of Europe chants . Counted 7 who saw the red mist and were ejected by the stewards / police. The fume is real.

He also made a number of good saves in both games. He made 2 in the first half today at 0-0 but also twice got caught trying to pass it out the 2nd he was punished for. Especially being a late free transfer it was a great story during the week and hopefully the coverage will do him a lot of good confidence wise.

Out of interest, what's it like being at games with VAR? Pretty confusing accie. Even away in Porto we got a text message saying Mane’s opening goal was onside before it was announced in ground. It’s creating more confusion and argument than ever.
