Had a chat with him in Palafrugell after the pre season game like you say what a nice chap, loved the fact that him and the team probably made our holiday that year.

Yoshida my MOTM today went about his business with aplomb was the master of his mop and bucket in defence, we are very lucky to have such a good player in reserve. Very strange game especially in the first half the ball just didn't seem to bounce for us. After Pelle scored it was like a 20 stone weight had been lifted from his back. Kelvin may be an old codger by comparison to most of the team but I do like the no nonsense "that ball is mine" attitude off his line pursuits. JWP super cool for his first league goal from the spot (not much pressure then) especially with Friend effing about making sure everyone was out of the box at a snails pace. Loved the way the players talked Mane round to giving James a crack to break his duck and he accepted the democratic descision without getting the aR$e. But boy o boy the bloody moaning from the numpties who smash their 3 year old kids every day on X-box FIFA whatever everytime we play the ball backwards, buy a ticket in the front 2 rows for a game or 2 just to see what the players see not what you see from row F upwards.

Lallana seems to have turned into glass since he went to Liverpool, bit like Darren Anderton in his day flashes of brilliance but in and out of the team with niggley injuries, maybe we sold at the right time. (apologies for mentioning one that smells of fish)
-
Charlie George was a bit wonky donkey too when he joined us, but he did rattle a few in more than them in the 44 games he had with us between 1978 -81 so I suppose shouldn't be included in the list.

Bugger just realised I have something else on that day into the evening......that's a shame:cry::cry:
-
Don't be silly if he was that bad everyone would see it............ Not happy we have him Saturday.

Maybe his Uncle has told him to stop piddling his money up the wall on average but expensive players.
-
Lee Mason who we had at Everton was pants too, never seen Morgan have a full on rant at a ref, including a open handed forehead slap to emphasise the point he was making as to just how crap he was, he had to get Jose over to shut him up.

I would like Burnley to stay up as Dyche has shown 2 seasons running that he can make a silk purse of sorts out of a Sows ear. QPR to go down if only to see the turmoil they will fall into under the FFP rules that the Championship will hit them with, lots of money swilling around the owners of the club for years and a lot of average players bought, although a bit of a shame for Ramsey. Leicester not too fussed about either-way. Sunderland if only because their players let down Poyet (who despite the hatred for him on here is not a bad manager) and they deserve the blight on their CVs. Villa in the mix too as it might do them some good to go down and start again. Leicester - QPR - and Sunderland/Villa scrapping it out on the last Sunday Coming up Bournemouth - The huge injection of the parachute payment alone if they went straight back down you feel they would make good use of it to come back stronger. There is no great expectation to be a super club at Bournemouth and this season has been a bit of a wheeze for them so the bag of money that comes with the Premiership would be a just reward. Norwich - They have quietly come up on the rails whilst no one is looking, I don't want them in the Prem as they have always been a pain in the backside for us over the years. Brentford to beat Boro in the play offs: shares the wealth about a bit more.

So, MOTD say we played well and the fans say we were ****e...
John Boy Saint replied to swannymere's topic in The Saints
We all have an emotional investment in the Saints so we all, as much as some would like to deny it, wish really hard that we were as successful as Barcelona, Real, or Bayern, when we come up against a soft side like Everton on Saturday and fail to succeed the outcome is compounded to be worse than it is. -
Fantastic goal even Krul congratulating him in the tunnel........... Surprising to see Dafoe looking emotional about it too.
-
I liked both his little sidebar in the QPR game, and the Burnley preview.

Watch out the fact police will be all over you, especially when some wag points out that more mines were closed under the previous to her Labour administrations, she is just notable as the PM who saw the job finished with her at the helm.

We all know there was a global recession which was at the root of all the ills, but who is responsible for the UK reportedly, independent of political parties and media, being ahead of most other countries towards getting back on track: or has the UK just had a lucky break on the roulette table?
-
Strange that Ryan Giggs has been omitted from this discussion.
-
I think staying with what we have makes sense, especially when you consider that before the the current government took power anyone with half a brain knew that things were going to have to be tough to get things back on track. But when they took over to find it was actually worse than what everyone thought and the departing party finding it mildly amusing??!!. Anyone who is basing their vote on giving the "toffee nosed Tories" a punch on the nose really needs to wake up to life. Do you really want the same Chancellor of the Exchequer who oversaw us getting into a pickle that the government of the past 5 years has been trying to get us out of, having another go at it just for a wheeze
-
Farage answers that

Yep I would put Wood higher to just for that punch on Ed's nose.

Cleggy wants another spin with Dave then

Think I just heard a tranquilliser dart being fired
