Papadopolous is a match made for Sakho.
He hadn't played as if he was on fire, more the slight breeze cutting across New Brighton on a summer's day than El Nino, the force of nature.
You came to this conclusion based on the 2 minutes of football he's played in 12 months?
Mama.
Thank Fowler we're not getting Caulker
The courts, the rich, the powerful or those in authority never lie. It has been dealt with 'by the courts' nothing to see here run along.
Really, really like this lad. He looks like he should be clumsy as fuck, but he's actually really good on the ball. Some great passes out of defence, he's a passing, brick shithouse.

I know we don't care what the rags think, but it seems they are reluctant to give him a good score on their individual ratings and their comments seem to say he is sloppy at the back. The mirror gave him a 6 for Cardiff even though he was immense. Divvys.
They don't focus on the match and assume because he's big and strong that he's clumsy on the ball and a bit stupid, it's ridiculous.Although fair play MOTD put him in team of the week, which is extra impressive considering we played Cardiff at home and didn't keep a clean sheet
I think we have needed this sort of defender for ages. Someone who is very aggressive, good on a 1 v 1 situation and can win the battles with awkward attackers. We have had too many defenders that need protection.
I think Lovren would be a perfect partner for Sakho, he's the reactive right sided centre back to the proactive left sided centre back of Sakho. I've been mightily impressed by him all season, his positioning is very good and Southampton play in a similar way at the back to us, I think he would be a major upgrade on Skrtel.
He really would be fucking great alongside Sakho. Was discussing this with a few mates the other day. Southampton got Lovren for a steal really. He was branded about as a huge talent a few years back and then suddenly went off the high profile radar. Done very well in the league so far. Southampton have money, a good manager and a good side though, so he's cost 15+ million.
he's not just a great defender... he's a great footballer
I would make a "Mamadou, is that you?" joke, but for some reason I'm pretty sure that the real one would just come right out and say it in his first post. Which would be amazing.
Watching the game in Canada on Sportsnet, some imbecile of a co-commentator described him as being bad on the ball but hes a big and strong... Just clueless. He is constantly looking for a forward pass, picking out Coutinho a lot in good positions. Very impressed with him and he is rightly so, undroppable.
That was Graeme Le Saux, my eyes rolled out of my head when he made that comment,couldn't have been more wrong about Sakho's ability with the ball
I can remember when he signed for us, a couple of you who had watched him play for PSG were saying how although he's a great defender he's not very confident on the ball... I don't understand it.
What does the referee in this instance put his arm up to signal? That the keeper can pick up the ball or something? Is that normal?
Shut the fuck up and put some respek on Lucas name playboy
