I found it funny that they are probably seated next to each other physically, yet they found it necessary to use Twitter for this 'naturally flowing' conversation

Hey, stop ruining my unreasonable generalisations! Fwiw, I actually meant people booing at the stadium, not criticising online. But now I'm unsure how many of the players I mentioned that have actually been booed (IRL )?

An excellent reply to the useless speculations of 'what could have been', sparked by the transfer rumours surrounding Bale...

You can't spell 'bogey' but you can spell 'horrendous'? That Stella really is special As for the lineup I think makr27 got it right - Jos, Fox and Guly will all start against WBA. That will leave a very divided group of boo boys who are spoilt for choice. Heck, Lallana's there too and Ramirez will probably also play a part. So many boos, so little time

Good shout. Thanks for everything, Markus

Funny piece - I like the writer's style

Syed is bordering on conspiracy theories, but the others are only interested in seeing football without any context... a bit naive and perhaps a little too easy...

True enough, but the further down the leagues he goes for regular playing time, the worse training he will get (in theory at least )... I'd still prefer to let him learn from Morgan, Cork, Wanyama, Davis etc. on a daily basis but only time will tell whether playing time is more important for JWP.

Add to that the whole training perspective: he's better off training with better players here than with an NPC squad... Definitely keep him here and play him often enough to keep him motivated...

I'm surprised we did so well against teams in our own 'quarter' of the table. 2 wins, 6 draws and 0 defeats... Thanks for an interesting article!

Thank you for the interesting pre-season threads - much appreciated!

Bearsy to the main board, please: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?46087-Lambert-completes-fairytale-story-with-England-call-up&p=1753793#post1753793

I really hope that none of the players read this forum

They must have misunderstood something being complimentary and all - aren't they supposed to be sarcastic and hostile against everyone else like we are on here?!

Maybe detective Bearsy could investigate what it is that makes a sound on SaintSparky's computer? The first clue is that the sounds are NSFW

Kevin Richardson was born 4th of December 1962, and got his only cap against Greece on the 17th of May 1994... As far as I can gather, both he and Powell were 31 years and 5 months old when they won their first cap - Rickie is 31 years and 6 months

Are you absolutely sure? I can't seem to get any audio from that link...

Yes, seeing those pictures removed any cynical thoughts - it's just a happy day for a nice guy

Very good piece, thank you! You may want to proof-read the following passage: "Macclesfield then sold Lambert for £300,000 for Lambert in 2002, as second division Stockport County moved to sign the impressive attacking midfielder. He appeared for the club on 110 appearances for Macclesfield, scoring 19 times, before a relegation-threatened season and poor performances saw him depart the club for Rochdale at the age of twenty-three."

I would have expected more people to hold a grudge against them but they have gotten off lightly in this thread...

I'm not too fond of MK Dons or Malaysian Red Dragons from Wales...
