It's quite cute how excited Swedes get about Ibrahimovic. Was always shit for their national team as well.

I'd love to know what he's been upto in his 2 years out the game.Originally Posted by John
Whatever it is, I bet it's hilarious. There's a video on YouTube of him getting made up like Michael Jackson in the Thriller video, but then doing nothing related to the video itself and just keeping a ball up for thirty seconds. It's wonderfully shit.
EDIT - So good.
Fuck you, Zlatan.
It's not his fault.
We have the worst keeper in the league, no attacking midfielder and the worst selection of centre backs in the league. Our 20m steiker looks like he's never scored a goal in his life. Charlie Austin our one hope doesn't get the ball and is the most unfit player in our squad.
The failure to replace Fonte and VvD has cost us dearly. Hoedt and Stephens are both great on the ball but terrible at the bread and butter things. We have no link between midfield and attack, just a load of shit wingers.
My brother in law had £50 on Saints to go down at the start of the season at 20-1. Looking like a cracking bet.
The Black Box does seem to be absolutely fucked TBH. Saw that Southamptons wage bill has gone from 12 million to 120 million in 6 years. The box didn't seem to factor in massive inflation.
There's surely a way of getting more out of that Southampton collective. Lemina, Hojbjerg and Romeu would start for most of the league. But I suppose relying on Charlie Austin can't be good, I suppose.
I think somebody can but Hughes doesn't strike me as the type to rattle cages or put his arm around you. Especially seeing as he ditched Stoke who are a mere one point below them.
I thought he was sacked.
Even worse. then.
I'm getting tired on how pundits claim wilshere is such a talent. He does not contribute goals, assists or tackles won. He is ordinary at best.
Are all these empty seats a BOYCOTT or is getting there just a pain in the arse on Easter Sunday?
Good service on the Piccadilly Line, there's no excuse.
lol at the flapping French goalkeeper. Victor Moses most underrated player going at the moment. Utterly superb this season.
Why did Chelsea start that useless streak of piss? Is Courtois injured?
That is atrocious goalkeeping from the Argentinian. Watching it again, it looked like he slipped or just fell over.
"The ball was all over the place!"
Pretty sure it went in nearly a straight line and he fell over.
I don't think he would have saved it anyway. It was like a curveball left in the zone. Late dip and I don't think he could have stretched and tipped it over.
He gave tottenham the ball for the goal with some stupid chip
Every player gives the ball away like that 3 times a game, you only get looked at for it if the oppo happen to lash one in 20 seconds later.
He is due for the operation now.
That’s ridiculous from Dele Alli
Gary Neville is always far too quick to slate defending. Literally nothing we could have done about that.
That's a lovely goal.
I don’t think he has good games. I’m shocked he managed to not hit a Spurs player for Morata’s goal.
Is Christensen even that good?
Caballero is a fucking div. Diabolical from Christensen also.
Marcos the Murderer managing to tackle Christensen there summing up the former's defensive abilities.
All of those goals spurs have scored are gifts. Shocking defending for all of them.
He's a 21 year old with superb ability who needs backing. Think a defensive Dele Alli. Reads the game brilliantly. Still sometimes lacks confidence in tight spots.
His general wing back play is excellent, first touch especially. Obviously he's not Cafu.
Our weak link is midfield, apart from Kanté we don't have any midfielders at the club. Fabregas needs to move to MLS or Serie A.
How has tim bakayoko been?
Should be in Ligue 2 coming off the bench for Niort or similar.
How wasn’t that a foul?
Lol if he’s ended Belgium’s hopes with that.
I think that's the worst refereeing decision I've seen for a long time.
You'd probably see ten worse a weekend, but lol all the same.
One of the worst players in the league.
I'm a twit
I don't get this one. It's obviously a ridiculous dive, but I remember being lectured ad nauseam after the Spurs debacle about how "any contact is a foul!" and yet the same argument no longer pertains with the same pundits, apparently. Is it a penalty if he falls over faster (the slo-mo replay does no favours i this regard)?
Went to Brighton on Saturday. Bad times. Completely undeserved, but Murray had a seriously bad day and when you don't really create that much you can't be missing sitters and penalties. Izquierdo is a ridiculously frustrating player. Such is the absolute predictability of his cutting in Leicester were covering it off with a man to just nick the ball in advance of him doing it, and yet he continued doing it, every time he had the ball. Highlight was Ndidi going mental after being sent off. Looked like he was having a fit. I think this makes next weekend against Huddersfield officially MASSIVE. Really need a win from that one. If they stay up Brighton need to seriously overhaul their attacking options. I'm not sure any of them are really up to it, the jury can be out on the new signings, but Murray, Hemed and Baldock isn't a forward line-up that is going to do anything 90% of the time. Knockaert is also in the twilight zone between being too good for the Championship and nowhere near good enough for the Premier League (entirely down to the mental side of the game as well, which I always find hard to understand) and if March had any end product whatsoever he'd be amazing. Just glides past players, and then does nothing with the ball. Maybe he can improve on that though.
What’s hard to get? He didn’t fall over with the contact, he stayed on his feet, decided he shouldn’t have, then through himself to the ground. That’s a dive. Going down immediately with contact is ‘making the most of it’.
Making the most of it, generating contact, whatever you want to call it, is diving.

Generating contact, I agree. Going down after contact (that you could have stayed on your feet after) is different as often you’d be putting yourself at a disadvantage by staying up. That’s what Mane realised too late.
I suppose the difference to me is that in one respect you just aren’t putting in the effort to stay up, in the other you are actually making the effort to go down.

If Shelvey winds up going to Russia, it's a waste of a seat. Diame is the wind beneath his wings.
I just don't find the idea that Mané falling over faster making it a penalty (which it would have to have been as the Palace player clearly sweeps at and makes contact with his leg/foot) particularly satisfying (in the any contact is a foul world). Realistically, most contact isn't sufficient to make a player actually fall over. Maybe it's one of those ones where it isn't either a foul or a 'dive' in the strict sense of the term (ie no contact) and I guess the ref/linesman just assumed there wasn't any.
The penalty should probably have been given for the kick of the leg, yeah. But it wasn’t that that made him throw himself to the floor, it was his realisation that he should have done so a second earlier.
Pardew gone.
That has to be up there with the worst managerial spells of all time.
Unless he is joining the rest of the knuckledraggers in flying himself out for a scrap it’s not a worry.
Hughes taking Southampton down with 0 wins from his reign will better it.
