I thought the were calling for a push off.. I didn’t hear anything about offsidesThe best part of Kane's goal was the Arsenal defender bitching at the AR because he thought Kane was offside even though Kane never went past the defense even when he headed it in.
It’s Offside in hockey as well. At least in my neck of the woods. More to the point, Arsenal were complaining that Kane had used the defender to launch himself as high as he did. Replays seemed to indicate the (minimal) contact occurred in mid leap. Didn’t look like a foul to me.
The folks that make a big deal about it are the same that make a big deal about calling a ball bouncing over the fence a ground rule double.
Did you see the little kid with the sign saying something like “ITS MY DREAM TO GROW UP TO PLAY FOR SOUTHAMPTON. And then get signed by Liverpool.”
Their "decline" is having all their best players bought up by the other teams. It's hardly surprising, every decent young player they've showcased has been snapped up. It's really hard to consistently replenish, even some of the shadier youth oriented co ownership promoting teams in europe miss for a few years from time to time.
They've also lost a lot of managerial talent over the past 8 seasons: Nigel Adkins, who lead them to two promotions; Pochettino, who has proven to be top notch; and Koeman, who won over 48% with Soton. The Puel & Pelligrino hires show how hard it is to keep that pipeline running, too.
I was wondering how he’d pass a medical. You’d think his wrist would have snapped when a doctor checked his pulse.
I suppose Kane at the top with Vardy coming in with fresh legs is pretty much all they are going to need barring injury. For a depth piece they could go with Rashford, get the teenager some run.
