You'd certainly be thinking that if you were a fan. Feel for them to be honest. Their team is being completely decimated! Although I guess I can't feel for them too much if the players we've pinched from them do well for us

[PTP]

Yeah gutted for them

I enjoyed watching them last season and it was nice to see another club be reasonably competitive....you could argue that last year there were 8 competitive sides which is what made the league so good....compared to the days of what was the big four...us/arse/Chelsea/utd....were it didn't really matter what any of those four did they'd always be top four.....all of a sudden there's city spurs and Everton and Southampton all pushing for European places and capable of beating everyone.....

Then Southampton just get ripped apart....manager and what is it 7/8 key players in one summer gone!

You've got to wonder how good Potchetino really is. With a team of such sort after players (all from better teams), should they have finished higher last season? They clearly had a very good squad, much better than Everton

[Red_Polo]

Or equally, were they players playing at their very limit thanks to a system that squeezed every last drop from them? I don't know the answer to that, myself, but time will tell. Clearly it's a sliding scale, not one or the other being absolutely true, but there is something to be said for the different risks in signing players who shine for lesser teams vs those who play their roles adeptly in a well oiled machine.

Hopefully he is ****, and proves this without a doubt at Spurs.

Good point well made

He's deffo got a bit of a belly on him hasn't he?

Thought he looked chunky when he played us.

Just watching Real Madrid vs Roma and from the 85th odd minute onwards there's been about 20-30 pitch invaders

Coming on in regular intervals, some good old fashioned guys getting arrested and and pulled off the pitch. A lack of streakers though. Even pitch invading is PC now. !
