Ted Bates Statue

I know this won't be the important bit to most, but I need to know which station Spors said this at. "London" is not sufficiently specific, as far as I'm concerned

I guess Spielberg will do, seeing as the film looks like it was AI generated

ChatGPT weighing in with an opinion on Saintsweb posters... Not sure whether to be mildly impressed or mildly concerned. Probably both. I'll know everyone's a bot when the quality of posting increases sufficiently along with the decrease in bickering. Only been trained on data up until 2021 so that makes sense.

Because Delap changed his technique after he left us. In the interview that you're probably referring to, Pulis describes learning of him throwing it like a bullet, launched low and fast. That was key to their successful use and not what he did with us, or with Sunderland. Perhaps he decided on his own that it was better to sacrifice a little extra distance for pace.

He always had a long throw but they were slow and looping when he was with us and it was mostly seen as a bit of a novelty. It did work for us occasionally, such as in the 2-2 draw against Everton in 2005. At Stoke he had the idea (or someone coached him - not Pulis) to launch them fast and flat with backspin. That's when they became iconic.

He's had a couple of seasons to do just that, hopefully it'll be out of his system if he can swallow his pride and decides to re-join us.

The Williams sisters used to say they could beat any man outside the top 200, and then they had to have a rethink. This sort of chat doesn't really help anyone and it would come as no surprise to hear that none of this has come from the players themselves, who would know better to say such a thing due to regular training matches against boys' sides.

This thread has veered heavily into Lucien Mettomo "who is that black guy he is so dominant" territory and I'm all for it.

It's on

So that's why Hasenhuttl cried after the Liverpool match.

whatever man, why can't we sign our own Ricky Van Wolfswinkle?

If the artist was a proper supporter of Lowe he would know that he prefers pictures of trains. Even if he were to accept this, he's not so egotistical as to be pictured in a suit of armour, and would prefer to be merely depicted in a monogrammed tracksuit at the centre of a team photo.

How was that the front page story, can't believe people actually pay 40p to pick up and read that shite. I'm more interested in the article on the left. George Osborne looks like he's doing a great job to have us overtaking Germany's economy by 2030. Fast forward to the end of 2024 and, er, we've had to reset the clock for some reason and you can fucking forget about overtaking Germany but we'll narrow the gap to them if we can carry on this way for another 15 years.

This thread always reminds me of the blind optimism of Jeremy from Peep Show but I can't be bothered to re-learn how to post a .gif
