    Jamie DeNiro Williams: If Kenny Dalglish can be sacked after winning a trophy and "wasting" money on Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing, why is Brendan Rodgers being allowed to remain after no trophies in three years and over £200m spent? Did he win LFC second place? Or did his tactical naivety lose them 1st place?

    Fair point on Dalglish, Jamie. I was just never quite sure Kenny was the type of manager FSG really wanted - but a fine spell as caretaker and the manner in which he was loved by fans understandably got him the job.

    When appointing Rodgers, FSG invested a lot of faith and money in him and he was the young, modern, progressive sort of coach they wanted, willing to work within their infrastructure. He is their man so they are giving him every chance to succeed. 

    As for the title, I am afraid I cannot stand some of the current revisionism about Rodgers. He and his players did brilliantly in finishing second - and he is a manager who was probably a man falling over away from winning Liverpool's first title in 24 years. He deserves huge credit for his work that season.

    Felix Olukunle Adewumi: Don't you think the media sometimes have a say in referee's decision or punishments given to players?

    I don't to be honest, Felix. I think the FA judge matters on their own merits. The media has every right to question and discuss decisions but I don't think they have a say in them.

    Wales coach Warren Gatland admits he doesn't know what they have done wrong, after they were warned over a breach of World Cup regulations.

    Back-up players who did not make the final 31-man squads are not allowed to take part in practice sessions, but a group did yesterday.

    "We haven't broken any rules. Apparently we have broken the "spirit of the rules," Gatland said.

    "What that means we don't know. I don't know what we have done wrong."

    Saints boss Ronaldo Koeman had this to say about Saturday's opponents Swansea:

    "They are an example of how you do your football business. They try to play attractive football.

    "We can compare them to our team and that's the reason why it's a difficult game for both teams."

    After the first month of the season, Garry Monk’s Swansea City were earning rave reviews for their on-field performances and their transfer activity off it.

    Now as we wait to speak to the Swans manager ahead of this weekend’s meeting with his former club Southampton, things have taken a turn for the worse. They haven’t won or scored in any of their last three matches after exiting the Capital One Cup at the hands of Championship side Hull on Tuesday.

    In fact, no Swansea player other than Bafetimbi Gomis or summer signing Andre Ayew has scored in the Premier League this season.
