Yorkshire Saint

Gary Rowett

I can see it being Jaap Stam or LVG

I am genuinely sat next to Ryan Giggs in Frankfurt airport ... il ask him straight out ...

Mixed emotions .. a season of special memories, Milan, Wembley, Prague, Anfield .. but so many unhappy players and fans ... worst of all, Black !!

If anyone can find footage of ruddocks penalty v Newcastle - Milton road - pleas postbit in here

Not that interesting - but in English it says: head tierce for coaching position established As we gradually get closer to the denouement in the file of the replacement of Christophe Galtier, we begin to see more clearly on the tracks privileged. Tired of hearing some names come out in the press when it was not a serious one (Le Guen, Passi, Roy, Renard), the club had split a communiqué in the middle of last week assuring to have "A short list of high level coaches who agree to join the club". There were five of them. They are now only three. Last weekend, Fabio Celestini (Lausanne Sport) was the first to throw in the towel: "I have been in discussions with Saint-Etienne for three weeks. Everything seemed clear and clear. But within the Greens board, there are apparently differences of opinion, "said the Swiss technician whose profile was mostly appreciated by David Wantier more than the two presidents of St. Helena. Result: the former OM player chose to stay in Lausanne where his management had asked him to position. On Monday, Patrick Vieira (New York City) put an end to speculation in the "New York Post": "I'm going to stay here, I'm embarking on a long-term project with New York City." While the meetings were still going on at the beginning of the week for the Stephan leaders, the choice was not completely fixed. Towards a final Garcia-Puel The management of AS Saint-Étienne wanted the arrival of Claude Puel (Southampton). Le Castrais corresponds to the profile of builder sought to rebuild after Christophe Galtier and it has real references. Problem: the former coach of Nice is not free for the moment and, even if he is on the departure in England, his club plays the watch not to have to pay its heavy indemnity of dismissal (in the vicinity of € 8 million for its remaining two years of contract). The Greens will not pay for the slate and if they wait in the hope that Puel finds an agreement to free themselves, the delay is not extensible beyond 15 June. The English press announced an imminent departure but it was not yet official. And it was therefore impossible for the technician to respond favorably to the interests of the Greens. Today, time is in favor of Oscar Garcia (Red Bull Salzburg), who is not free either but who should be able to more easily obtain his letter of exit in Austria. At the end of the final of the National Cup against Rapid Vienna last Thursday (victory 2-1), the Spaniard was evasive on his future. Garcia bored by Salzburg? In private, it is said to be weary of seeing the shareholder Red Bull now put its resources on the Leipzig team. If the track was not a priority before the meeting in Paris a fortnight ago, it gradually gained in thickness. Garcia, a disciple of Johan Cruyff, advocates exactly what the club is looking for in terms of play and has made a strong impression by his (theoretical) knowledge of the Ligue 1 as well as the players of Saint-Etienne. In the minds of the leaders, Garcia comes in second behind Claude Puel and ahead of Claudio Ranieri (free), which has financial and human requirements (staff) very heavy for the ASSE and far too important for Roland Romeyer. It is probably in these two (or three) tracks that we should find the future coach of the Greens although it is still not excluded that a CV initially placed in the second circle of possibilities (Eduardo Berizzo, Marcelo Gallardo, Gabriel Heinze, Francesco Guidolin) returns to the top of the pile of this interminable casting ...

Agreed and for those saying Austin has been out - well he has 3 months to recover

Why why why - I'm sorry but I've had it with Puel

The reaction of the crowd will be interesting now. We are playing Stoke and we are not creating chances, it's diabolical. Why can't we play with two CF and as for Cedric picking up crouch - jeez

Think you will see him come off the bench closing 20-30 minutes if it's still 0-0, earlier if we go 1 down. Same with long too

I think we are doing alright

Brilliant guys ! Il post a picture of the table plan as proof ! I did think of a test but I didn't want to push it

Cheers All Some great stuff in there...final proof.. Top table = Letissier Then ... Flowers CB Fry Bale Wanyama Lundekvam Van Dijk Bates Channon Shearer Lambert Paine Wallace

- 12 is for the undatables yes What number was CB Fry ?

Something to lighten the mood. Im getting married on the 8th of July and i have 13 tables. The whole thing is top class but my wife to be has agreed i can name the tables after my ultimate Saints 11 + Manager + 1 Sub Any thoughts: Top table / Manager = McMenemy (Certainly not Puel) 1 = Shilton 2 = Clyne 3 = Bale 4 = Wanyama 5 = Monkou 6 = Van Dijk 7 = Letissier 8 = McCalliog 9 = Shearer 10 = Channon 11 = Paine 12 = Dia Any thoughts ?

It's easy to say in hind sight but I'd agree. Clasie ahead of hojberg to me and have a go at them. I like Fraser but for such a big strong guy he has got to come for everything in the six yard box ... no excuses. Redmond is looking class and growing with each game. Body language of some players worries me, Fraser, JWP when he came off and WTF with Shane Long

I noticed VVD liked Ronald's tweet re Coleman today

Never in doubt

IF we lose this - we are in a relegation battle - no doubt

Yep .. but calling me bald is harsh He was a chav yes ... it was a feeble attempt i agree and I told him that at the time, agreed I shouldn't have questioned his technique but it didn't end there with his dad and I can assure you I have a cracking bruise, egg on my head and a splitting head ache. The intent and the stupidity was clear but I agree with above, perhaps a way of better linking fans in the cup final would avoid this so that those who are perhaps more agitated in there seat can be together.

Of course there are always two sides to a story, but I feel I am a reasonable man. After UTD's first and then second goal I stood up and tried to get the atmosphere going in 528. In my opinion the fans were frozen up to this point. I tried to sing, I tried to support my team. The man directly behind me asked me to sit down because his son could not see and I sat down, a man and his son who was around 22 i guess and two seats to the left in the row behind me started verbally assaulting me, mocking me and I asked them to be quiet and support the team ... they had clearly had too much and were ready for a punch up .. it might sound soft but I have 20 years of Karate training ... I had 2 choices, knock them on there back sides or walk away, I walked away. I appreciate this is a forum, I appreciate people's frustrations, I have never been in a fight and I am not an aggressive man. These two were scum and it almost felt premeditated.

In a vain attempt that you can use a computer, perhaps a forum - To the man and his son who physically assaulted me at Wembley yesterday after Saints went 2-0 down, I understand you were disappointed, I was too, but in 40 years of going to games ... for one of my own to start throwing punches at me so that I had to leave my seat I say ... thank you, thank you for the money you will now save me as I will no longer follow my team as I have over land and sea. You were quite truly a disgrace and you ruined my day - I couldn't care for the score, I couldn't care one bit ... in context I wake up happy that I only have a bruised head - you are scum and I associate that kind of behaviour with other fans like Leeds not Southampton.

To confirm, are we doing the sash ?

So had we made an effort v Arsenal .. Sutton and Lincoln would have stood in our way

Sentiments say Stephens plays - do this and we are giving UTD the edge especially on current form. A mate is a season ticket holder at Juventus he says if you can keep him fit you have a seriously good player. If he is deemed match fit if only for 60 minutes or so we must play him, there really is no argument here - this lad is class
