Bucks Saint

Terrible one day performance in Aus, followed up by this humiliation. Giles has his interview next week for the top job...

Revenue up nearly £50m, wages up less than £20m, so 40% of the increase. Wages are not the issue

Training ground to cost double original figure? Wow, some reasonable sized clubs spent this on their grounds...

Price of mid table obscurity for both teams

Zero

Saw him for the U21s once. Looked lost though he did nearly score. To be fair he had just arrived and it may have been his 2nd game

Apple. Then we can launch a new model of the shirt (at midnight) every 9 months

When does it take off?

B&Q, stadium was built long ago now, so should be ok

Good man, spot on. Although I do head to the gym and play squash, now the weather is better the first love will always be the mountain bike, preferably as far from any roads as possible. I head to the Chilterns, or Swinley Forest, Bracknell (about 20 mins drive for me) which has purpose built mountain bike trails. 20k of demanding & technical course later and it feels like several sessions in the gym, just 1000% more fun.

Scored a similar one (perhaps beating a man along the way) away to Leicester too I think?

Amazing read, did not realise he had sunk quite that low; well done on turning it around Claus. Loyal and decent player and deserves respect

What position and team? Better not have been anywhere down the M27.....

Good. Appointment from within, knows the players, the staff, will help our new external chairman.

Source?

Agreed. Saints not a step up from Burnley?! If he had massive ties to them, or was born and bred there, or was so white hot that he was just waiting for a top 4 club to come in for him, then maybe. Otherwise, I dont see any issue beyond the inevitable very high purchase price Burnley would quote, after insisting he is not for sale (and no one could blame them)

Its a deal

What? Only have 4 players trying?! 2/3rd of the team have "nothing to play for"??? Bonus? Being picked next week? Better contract? Potential move? Pride? Love my job? do me a favour

When was it last run for the fans? I must be able to find that on netflix / iplayer or some such and would like to find that

I sort of take the OP's point in so much as it applies to Lovren in particular. Back in Nov / Dec, he was rightly getting a heap of praise from some respected pundits and I was thinking he was the one most likely to be poached this summer. Games like yesterday, but there have been a few now, show that he is not quite the top 4 player that was implied in the first 15 games or so. Otherwise, no, I hate losing

Perhaps I am not as gutted as you, I have not given up on the newcastle match yet

This. Squandered that lead + when so comfortable + nature of their goals + timing of their goals + lack of conviction 2nd half. Still gutted

Cork with VW, or Cork with MS is fine and no issue. All 3 are first choice in that role. When 2 are injured we are less effective, no matter which one of them is left

Best manager since Strachan, which is 68 managers ago, so its a no brainer

you the man
