John Boy Saint

As always it's a very nice little clique, with no imagination. Most players outside the top 6 must be scratching their heads trying figure out how they might get into the England squad, to be honest they have probably given up. Especially when Carrick was being talked of as playing centre back in place of the beloved Rio. Roy sat in SMS the other day must have very deep down must have been disappointed at the performance of the 4 nailed on England players who didn't really get a look in against a Saints team containing 7 English players. Cleverley & Wellbeck play in a team that plays to a disciplined system, Rickie Lambert could play for Manchester United and score for fun once he had adapted to it. If there were no external pressures on the England team, you could have put a team made up of English Championship players against San Marino and they would have scored more than 8, mainly because of the passion they would have shown to wear the England shirt.

Clive Tyldsley was running through various players Oxo, Lescott, I think Cleverley he said have played 3 times for their club since January: sorry but that is an F'ing appalling selection process.

Wow some of you folks are pure infraction Magnets. I have spat my dummy out a few times in some of my posts and yet still haven't lost my cherry. Too F u C k I n g nice; that's my problem! Kno3jockeys the lot of you!! ​Was that a bit too obvious?!

That sounds like a good start to a book in his genre!!

Looking at the BBC News website and saw that James Herbert died at his house in Sussex. I never really enjoyed reading books that much, wasn't that I couldn't read just couldn't be bothered. Then whilst recovering from an operation my Uncle gave me The Survivor which at 19 became the first "grown up book" I had actually read cover to cover and enjoyed. I suppose (saucy stuff aside) the fact that all of his books were based in real places in the UK you could picture the scenes as you read. I read everything he wrote, apart from Ash which is sat on the side waiting to be, so for me James Herbert encouraged me to enjoy reading books. Thank you God bless and Rest in Peace.

With Pulis publically reported at looking seriously at his position at Stoke, with a chance of joining his son in the US, Stoke could free fall if he doesn't put a lid on suggestions....................... We beat Chelsea and Stoke lose we will be alongside them in the table.

Seems a good set up and whilst Saints aren't doing the best in the Elite group, they earned the right to be there from the first phase. League 1 & 2 have some interesting teams in it. Whilst aiming for the Elite league from the off is the obvious objective, when you look at Final Stage where Elite position 2 & 3 play each other in the Semi Final, and the Winner of the Elite League faces the winner of the game between the winners of leagues 1 & 2 in the Semi (nasty Banana skin there) you wonder if there was any merit of not worrying about the first phase to extend your chances of winning outright through the final phase. A bit like Saints staying in the old Southern league (because the expense of travelling North every other week would have bankrupted them) and being a massive fish in a small pond as a result, beating top teams when they met in various competitions. With the above in mind, In reality it is good that we are playing the game in the spirit it was intended to achieve the aims set out in the first place. Man City and Chelsea don't look too clever though, not a surprise though with the cheque book recruitment they employ.

He must have been impressed at a team containing 7 English players, playing with such fluidity.

You missed my point, the translator had just started translating the question. But Mo cut the translator short with the answer for the translator to give.

Viva la revolution against the Fashionistas!!

He speaks English, it's a convenient smokescreen to buy him time with the media. Post match on Solent the other week he was asked a question the interpreter started........er um Translating.... and he cut him short with a correction and then answered for the translator to reply.

Seemed a bit more than a gashed knee, from where I was sat facing him in the Chapel. The physio appeared to be checking his breathing feeling his chest. Unless he is queezy at the sight of blood.

I too thought it sounded great, especially just before the final whistle when all the stands were singing in unison, rather than the "Row, Row, Row your boat" staggered singing that often takes over.

I think he was shocked that he was onside (coupled with scoring against he boyhood team).

Fits the bill although wages might be an issue: but then you never know. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2294157/Joleon-Lescott-leave-Manchester-City-4million.html Just a thought.

Suarez and Johnson will think its bloomin Christmas!!

We had a very pleasant time back in November. Stayed in the Royalton on West 44th and 6th, Very nice. Breakfast over the road in The Red Flame was great and Cheap. went on a great tour very small group and lasted 9 hours (certainly didn't feel like it) and we saw loads. Chelsea Market down in the Meat Packing district is good especially if you like Lobster. Thanksgiving Parade at the end of the street was quite a sight. we walked Chuffin miles. Only thing that I had wished I had done was skating in Bryant park in the shadow of The Empire State building, Central Park Was sponsored by Trump and expensive, the Rockerfeller centre was also expensive, sadly we ran out of time. Not the cheapest city, as the tour guide said "most New Yorkers wouldn't think twice about paying $70 for a pair of Jeans" just about sums it up. That said I would go back but not in a massive hurry.

The Icredible Shrinking Man

No Surprise there! must be a damn hard job in a regime more closed to the outside world than North Korea.

Nah! That was just a singular act of spontaneous solo combustion, not a team lynchmob....................................... Funny though Prutton had a very valid point hidden under that spectacular explosion.

Ah didums a fixture pile up breaks your bloody heart. How come football has gone soft When we got to the League cup final we were still in the FA cup and a right pickle of a fixture pile up we asked Arsenal to move our 5th round cup tie from the Tuesday to Wednesday: Arsenal told us where to go. Thankfully the God of Football is involved who has already moved the game, and if I understand the explanation of the TV rules correctly only an act of the highest God can see the game moved again. (but then being 2 of the most importantest teams in English football anything is possible!)!

Oooooo I would like to see that spun on TV!! For a team that does not have a history for throwing all the toys out of the pram, it will be interesting to see how this ends.

Steven Nzonzi 5th!! Ths poll must have been conducted at 23:30 in a Stag party venue!! None so queer as folk.

Arsenal are a bit Jeckyll & Hyde, so not that much of an issue.

My Headline was better, how exciting deleted thread coming for me!!
