I hope Liverpool stick with Rodgers, he's doing a fantastic job of spunking all of their cash and winning f*ck all. Can't see him lasting though.

Yep. Get Mane over that side of the pitch as well at times and we'll cause problems. --------------Stek Cedric - Fonte - VvD - Bertrand -----Wanyama - Romeu JWP-----------------------Tadic ----------------Mane ----------Pelle Or Davis for JWP, sitting in front of the midfield 2 with Tadic left and Mane right. Got to get at them either way

Wouldn't happen if all teachers were armed and trained with assault rifles. More guns is the answer.

I look up the Portsmouth result now and then for laughs, that's about it.

Jan Transfer Window One Realistic Signing Who Would You Buy
Jack replied to ally_uk's topic in The Saints
No thanks. One of the least intelligent footballers I've watched. His pace gets him out of trouble a lot of the time but that won't last forever. He looks ok going forward, usually until he tries to put the ball in the box, and defensively he's a liability IMO. Reckless in the challenge. Anyway, he gets a bit of game time for Spurs which can only be good for everyone else, and I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in selling anyone to us. -

This. -
Lower season ticket prices Subsidise away ticket prices and take up the full allocation in most cases. Get proper beer on the concourses Stop playing music in the stadium, pre-match, half time, after goals. No need. Buy up and develop the aggregates businesses - decent bars & restaurants. Some good ideas above but I went for some easy and realistic ones. Well, completely unrealistic considering where modern football is going, but they'd be easy enough to achieve if the club wanted to.

Nothing happened first half. Same as our game up there really, they play to not lose. Palace pen

Wasn't expecting pr*ck to get pulled up on the swear filter. Interesting.

You could at least try to pick some holes in what I said, rather than just being a ***** about it. I'm basically saying Saints results are hard to pick, as we're so inconsistent all over the pitch. Would you disagree?
-
I've given up trying to predict Saints results. One game we look good going forward but a shower of sh*t at the back, the next we look solid at the back but toothless going forward, the next we're OK all round but can't finish, then there are games where just about nothing of note happens. Oh, and the occasional game where we throw in some horrendous experimental lineup and it's a disaster. My prediction - frustrating result.

Exactly, what's wrong with a good story in the pub?!
-
Bad transfer window defensively. Bought 2 right backs and they're left on the bench in favour of a left footed dodgy centre half. I like Yoshida as cover but he really shouldn't have to start at right back.

It's all about the money, and that's the problem.

Nigel Adkins Interview (Saints YouTube channel, Monday)
Jack replied to jawillwill's topic in The Saints
Yeah. Class day from start to finish. Early start and beers around London Bridge and Borough. 5 of us went and went fivers in on a bet on a Lambert hat-trick. £25 @ 25/1. Needless to say we went f*cking mental getting the late equaliser then winner, stayed out and spent the winnings until the last train home. We played pretty **** for the middle hour of the game but what a day out. -
We won't play 4-4-2 and I'd be shocked if we played 4 such attacking players. It'll be Pelle and 2 out of Mane, Tadic and J-Rod I would've thought. ------------Stek Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand(Targett) --Wanyama ---Romeu ------------Davis Mane-----------------Tadic ------------Pelle

Nigel Adkins Interview (Saints YouTube channel, Monday)

Classy bloke. Was my favourite 2 seasons following Saints as well. Saturday 3pm and Tuesday 7:45, players who actually give a sh*t and graft like hell for each other, English core, amazing away trips and none of this Premier league day-trip plastic-ness. Millwall away still one of my favourite away days ever. -
I think it does. Crowds can lift teams, and it's always a better away day when we're up for it and making a racket. Shame it's so rare these days.

FWIW, I was stuck at work yesterday so could only listen on the radio, sounded like most of the noise was coming from our lot on that. Watford was dire though and most of the aways I went to last season.
-
This, with Bertrand back in if he's fit. Need Big Vic and Rom to be on it, United are starting to look much stronger.
-
'Unspectacular' is being pretty generous. I was baffled about the fact he started ahead of Cedric in Denmark, he could hardly control a 10 yard pass and looked terrified every time the ball went near him. Ron must see something in him though as he's been getting some minutes, but it really doesn't look like a simple case of being rusty. Either way, I'd say he's the most likely to find himself out of the squad as people return from injury. Yoshida can cover at RB if Cedric gets a knock.
-
You'd have thought so. Weirdest signing of the summer for me, he really doesn't look like much of a player.
