John Boy Saint

Funny reading the odd comment knocking him, obviously MP and his team obviously haven't a clue by playing him despite him being too cumbersome, poor in the air, rubbish crossing the ball. Yet strange that so much expensive traffic from the opposition comes down our left. I have no problem with him on the pitch and if Chris Baird managed to slide into the middle with outstanding success, and against Championship monsters up front, what's to stop young Callum at some stage doing the same.

Its in the Echo so must be true that there is nothing to see here! However in other news just to soften the blow for so many disappointed souls this was at the bottom of the Echo piece http://www.givemesport.com/390816-serbian-lineswoman-goes-viral-for-running-line That will be in the Sun, Star, and Mirror tomorrow if not online this afternoon if the Lazy Hacks have been scanning here for titbits as another quiet transfer window day bumbles by.

Wow we must really have sinned against the Footballing Gods................ Relatives are Chelsea ST holders and despite their sometimes arrogant Special One'esk attitude not even they would wish that on us!!

Just watched that on +1 the old Wedding Vegetables have just returned to normal and my toes have fully uncurled! You have to have crossed wiring between the ears to do that. His Mother must jump out of her skin everytime the phone rings when he is not in the house.

When was the last time a player got 80% of the MOTM vote on here? Well done Jack Cork, he looked surprised when he got the trophy after the game.

Confirmation that the tackle from behind is now allowed just been seen in the Swansea v Spurs game Rose just piled through the back of Routledge under not much control bending him in half backwards ref just gave the throw-in to Swansea. Time to play like Norman Hunter once again!

Just bought a ticket for my Daughter online looked like the Chapel was filling up quite steadily, shame that the F A Cup has lost a bit of its lustre, a few years ago we would have had a pretty decent crowd.

Subs v Sunderland were bob on, being able to replace Gaston and Dejan what stunning insight by M P to keep his powder dry a little bit longer

Blimey that bloke Reid we were linked with in the days of the Twitchy one way back when, who ended up at Spurs is still playing, scored an absolute guided missile for Forest today.

Is this the same Express that has been spouting forth that we will have the hardest coldest Winter since the Ice Age every other week when we had the heat wave in July!

And a very nice Stadium too.

To enter into the silliness of the thread. I was going to say that I would go a Division lower and buy Bury (partly because my cousins have been long suffering lifelong fans) but to take a little team from the darkest part of the shadow cast by Man U and City and the depths of League 2 to Premier League. Might need a year longer but get a decent manager sign some better players than the division become invincible unload players that won't make the next step as their stock will be high having played for such a great emerging team and bring in the next batch for the job, bin the manager as soon as he is reaching the limit of his abilities with the squad for a better model, till finally making it to the promised land and smashing the local big boys home and away to ensure a place in the CL and winning it at the first time of asking: Bury Football Club champions of Europe what a giggle that would be. Otherwise Leyton Orient and getting them to a position where Brisbane Road is far too small for them due to the stunning Football they have been playing and forcing the Mayor of London to evict West Ham from the Olympic stadium because they can't fill it or pay the miserly rent, in a stunning ground swap and within 2 years of moving in put in a planning application to take the capacity from 54,000 to 120,000 due to the length of the season ticket waiting list, when it happens Arsenal and Spurs both have to close large swathes of their ground as Leyton Orient become the big dog of London Football teams. Just as an aside, I was sat in a meeting yesterday when my mobile rang twice then cut off, strange +41 at the beginning?! Not China, India, Spain or Portugal those are easy.......... Googled it: Switzerland!!! Who do I know in Switzerland?? So I guess you guys had better watch this space.........:smug:

And probably a significant amount too. Just goes to show that Care in the Community is alive and kicking!

2 Poles on the same pitch.

Nope I think it was actually called playing Silly Buggers! At least one of us was guilty of a Drinking and Typing, although you could cast that nasturtium at the OP.

Oh dear, please pass on my apologies to Nigel, truth be known he is a top bloke, please assure him that my response was in answer to the inane OP and not set out to maline him. However if the misfortune of your Vampire encounter has resulted in you both passing into immortality, please remind him to put on plenty of sun block otherwise he might find standing on the touch line v Bolton will be a short lived experience: although it would no doubt be a high point at the Madejski to see the manager evaporate into a pile of smouldering ashes before the game kicks off. Hopefully you both stocked up with Garlic, Holy Water, Silver Bullets, and stakes before setting out tonight, and you both get home in one piece.

Shut up the Doomsayers I say with a tasty win!

I might be happy with life on the Friday relaxation accelerant.......................................... But who really gives a flying Fart what Nigel actually thinks, it's Histoire Roger, my friend. Gone- Finished - Over! just like Glenda no second coming: sorry to burst your bubble buddy.

Just remember: we'll be in Europe next season - if there's a war!

He has to keep it till Easter otherwise it will be bad luck.

9 zeros, it just becomes a score board, I believe Bernie Ecclestone once said.

Aww you missed the chance of saying it's probably the Mountains................. Keep up Alps you old bugger!!

Is there an Echo in here??!!

Give this a bump 'cos it is quite amusing

stupid translate will only allow a little bit but the gist is there. Just don't let the door bang on your aR$e on the way out. apologies to those sensitive souls still holding a candle for this guy!
