Right behind the camera is a huge sign in Daniel Levy's office that says "FOURTH PLACE OR OUT." It's next to the trap door leading to the shark tank.

Damn. Seems like doomsday for Southampton.

That's why FM is unrealistic. Small clubs can build good squads and finish high in the table. But unlike in FM, they never get to hold their players when the big clubs come to poach them

People will stop buying the game if it's actually like real world football, but maybe making it harder to keep players wanted by other clubs or at least have their performance suffer would be more realistic. Atletico did happen though and they had a pretty FM like season.

Ajax were ridiculously stacked back then.

96, it was their second string basically (their first eleven outside of van der sar were all injured) and still it required uefa refereeing for juventus to win the champion's league.

France beat Norway 4-0 last night, which is good because not so long ago we'd have had a bad 0-0.

And Giroud scored this amazing goal.

It's kind of immersion breaking too though. But it's probably my own fault for looking at too many stories where people take some Conference team up to the Premier League and win the CL by 2020.

Not anymore!

Thankfully. I was starting to get a little worried. Not too happy with the overall performance from some players tonight but I felt like the subs played hard to make things a little more interesting for who will lock up the starting spots. Would like to see Beckerman get some time against Turkey.

The Mauricio Pochettino move is a very interesting one. If he can get Tottenham playing like a more wealthy Southampton I think the Spurs fans might be quite happy. But the reservations expressed here about the people with the power having unreasonable expectations is definitely a risk. It might just not be realistic for Tottenham to reach the Champions League this next season and will Pochettino be able to keep his job if he does a really good job but still doesn't make it. I think they will need a couple of the big 5 to have a pretty bad season (I'm including yanited in that).

Poor Southampton look like they are going to be completely gutted for parts at the moment.

Also Sky seem to keep forgetting that Southampton is in England and talking about Pochettino as if he's a brand new manager never played in England before.

Sure but they'll be rich after. If they're smart about transfers they'll survive.

Yeah it was ridiculous. One of the best generations of Dutch football players as well. They should've won euro 2000 :/

Hahaha, paper this morning mentioned van Gaal is planning to move Clasie and Martins Indi (both on the WC squad) to United this summer. That will ensure they end up on the 'right' side of the table.

News!

Torino president Urbano Cairo is close to accepting Borussia Dortmund's offer for striker Ciro Immobile. Dortmund have offered €18million (£14.6m)for Immobile, who is jointly owned by Juventus and would reportedly sign a four-year contract if he moves to the Bundesliga.

Another line coming out of Atletico Madrid concerns the future of Diego, who is wanted by Fenerbahce. The Brazilian playmaker has confirmed he has agreed a deal, reported to be for three years, with Fenerbahce, and he is now waiting to undergo a medical before finalising his move to Turkey.

Reports in Spain are claiming that Manchester United have agreed to match Atletico Madrid defender Miranda's buy-out clause. Miranda is one of several players to have been linked with a summer move away from the Vicente Calderon, but captain Gabi is hoping that Atletico's key players will stay.

Goalkeeper John Ruddy is a potential summer signing for Arsenal, reports the Daily Mail. Arsene Wenger is looking for a back-up shot-stopper to replace the departing Lukasz Fabianski and Norwich's 27-year-old England international is said to be a contender.

There's been plenty of speculation over France defender Bacary Sagna's future, and now Sky sources can reveal that the 31-year-old has indeed informed Arsenal in writing that he will be leaving the Emirates Stadium this summer. Manchester City remain the favourites for his signature, with Sagna keen to resolve his future before the start of the World Cup.

New Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will attempt to bring £25million-rated England midfielder Adam Lallana with him from Southampton to White Hart Lane, claims Wednesday's Daily Express.

An announcement from Cardiff City - they've signed striker Federico Macheda on a free transfer from Manchester United. The 22-year-old, a former Italy Under-21 international, has agreed a deal until summer 2017.

Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez has suggested that the club may not look to make a 'Galactico' signing this summer. Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic are just two names to have been strongly linked with the European champions

Nathaniel Clyne is one of a number of Southampton players being linked with a big-money move this summer, with Liverpool said to be keen on the talented full-back.

Louis van Gaal has forced Manchester United to redraw their transfer plans after insisting he is not interested in Cesc Fabregas. Van Gaal has instructed Ed Woodward to focus on alternative targets - including Kevin Strootman.

Tom Ince has flown to Milan for talks over a move to Inter - but has stressed he has not signed for the Italian club yet.
