John Boy Saint

But that nice Mr Klopp has blown sunshine up his backside by saying publicly this season that AL has been an integral part of the success at Liverpool. Unlike that Tommy Fourpast by comparison who got himself front and centre of the dressing room images singing “we are going up” when we got promoted back to the premier league - not one person at the club had a positive word to say about that bloke.

Egg me old mate I would suggest that you blow the flame out on that particular candle, the bloke is a wastrel, and he sure as hell ain't our best midfielder as he ain't been in it for over a season. Given the outlay we made on buying him, versus what he has given back he is nowhere near consideration as a "best midfielder ".

They seem to be using all the channels where there is spare capacity to squeeze out 8 live games simultaneously Think the British Masters will be done by Saturday Tea Time and Sky can't be bothered to change the Channel name to Sky Sports Toffee for 2.5 hours. And whatever Golf the Septics have on this weekend doesn't start the live feed until 7pm and beyond.

I would like to see them both get into a position where they both drag each other along in a friendly goal scoring competition, they are both relative youngsters one who has only known Premier league the other who has struggled a little to come to terms with it, which has prolonged the issue. Both are capable, players Ralph knows MO still needs polishing, MO makes no secret of the fact that he has Ralph in his ear and seemingly he accepts that as he is eager to be better. Anyone who has watched Che with their own eyes can see the guy has a footballing brain whilst his shooting boots have been misfiring somewhat, he does seem to have good vision on the pitch. Get the pair of them to click and it could be fun. I don't think that "click" is far away, against Chelsea Boxing Day when Obafemi scored if you look back at it as Michael was running at the goal, Che was ahead of him and rather than get involved if you watch Che you can see him backing away from Michaels run and in doing so taking the defender with him and making a bigger aperture in the Chelsea defence for Obafemi to work with. Last Sunday Obafemi had the quickness of mind to see he was heading towards a cul de sac Adams was showing for it, Bingo! They are both capable enough, just get them both to knit together and we could be onto something, certainly take the pressure off Ings if they do.

They must think Tella has something as he penned a new 3 year extension a couple of weeks ago.

Why would he want to go anywhere at 31 he has a contract paying him reputedly £450k per week until 2022. Having bumped into him at the Vale Resort last Autumn, Wales were playing at home and it’s the accommodation for both the Rugby and Footie when playing in Cardiff - good luck to him is all I can say.

What an easy job that is - all done, dusted and crossing the ether while still sat in your Jim-jams and still coffee in your cup! Just shows what little attention the hack has paid to Ralph’s preferred player profile. Still always good to keep abreast of what life insurance and solar panel deals are available to me locally. 😁

Poor little Adam Lallana doesn’t get a last hoorah at Liverpool. 😪 😄

That’s curious - I guess if I find out en route to the the game that I have missed out on a social distanced seat for the game, I can divert to the golf course and not have to change my shirt.

Jeez even I would take the job - money for old rope - lose 2 get the tin tack whatever cockamamy contract you have paid up. What a way to earn a living - rest of us ordinary souls get the sack “bugger how am I going to pay the mortgage” football managers “Oh dear this’ll upset the wife for a few weeks - I’ll take her somewhere nice”. - they need fire and brimstone for the next 2 games and they are looking at a limp lettuce leaf............. the running of football does make you scratch your head sometimes.

Or just Shite

I liked our second goal - could have dicked about in the corner - but nope - Obafemi to Che back of the net - As Peter Kay would say “Ave it”! For far too long we have been far too polite in our play - that goal just showed a welcome bit of nastiness.

What a Shiite penalty

That was surprising to see not to even be on the bench

I must be reading this under the influence of psychedelic narcotics. £20-£25m plus KWP on top! Blimey pull that Rabbit out of the hat would be like that American who bought, paid and was shipped London Bridge when what he thought he was buying was Tower Bridge. If it was picking teams in the school playground and the last 2 kids were PEH and KWP - it would be KWP all day long, his brain works so much faster to start with - you can trust him with the ball. PEH, it was mentioned last night was a pet project for Pep at Bayern yet we snapped him up for £10m? I’ve watched pretty much every home game he has played in and can’t recall driving home after a game thinking blimey he had a cracking game today. Last night we are pressing for the win PEH attempts a cross field pass straight to a Brighton player he’s just stood there admonishing himself, Brighton are on their toes down the pitch with half our team facing the wrong way! Monday night at United KWP looses the ball out on the wing cheaply leaving him on the his hands and knees on the floor, mere seconds later he has ball back at his feet having corrected his error gone after it leaving the Man U player In a heap on the floor legally. As I am still smacked up on illicit substances PEH looks more likely the makeweight in us getting KWP from Spurs - if Ralph wants him.

To be expected with such an oddment out there here and there - Ings will likely come off because he is just a yard short - which is not to malign him because he has worked like a dog the last few games - likewise Prowsey. sorry boys but Redmond still needs a rocket up his bloody backside he is so damn predictable, on the odd occasion he buy a ticket to the raffle he actually makes a difference.

We all know he’s not very good -Obafemi giving him a verbal volley at Huddersfield last season said it all. Didn’t say he had used us as a stepping stone - more making the point of get a great contract then do sweet f a admittedly he hasn’t swung the lead as much of a few others on our books.

Whoever we get - just hope it’s not the Lemina type who signs up gets PL wages then dicks about on a good screw and thinks just by standing on the stepping stone the top dogs will come running Bit like the Norwegian fella - 5 year contract “I’ve got a deal to set me up for life” - already going back to Celtic this season - How about breaking a sweat to see if you can actually play for the team who is probably supplementing his wages. As someone pointed out on the Man U match thread aside from Romeu and Jan all our foreign players are currently broken. (not including PEH as he has nailed his flag to the mast).

So do we go for this one or the next for commentator “9-0” shot bingo............... just for a bit of immature fun? 😁

Wow what a bizarre hat trick for Sterling what happened next?😳

Now he was a proper Football legend RIP

Anchelotti is no mug he changed it up, nullifying us a little, think the yellows for both Centre backs and Armstrong clipped our wings a little bit in the challenge. We looked so pleasing on the eye first half, how we weren’t out of sight was amazing, but Everton were stubborn defending as we were against City Sunday. Again Walker- Peters for a player who looks like you could pop him in your pocket is a tenacious chap with a nice touch, liked it when he lost the ball he quickly made up for it winning it back, I certainly would have no issue if we could snap him up if Spurs don’t want him. Redmond still drives me up the wall, gets the ball runs gets near the box and the bigger boys home in on him and he just stops, some on here have said they are not convinced by Adams, personally I think Adams football brain is much sharper than Redmond. Still we got something off Everton a spawny winner from them would have been a travesty.

The UA baseball cap that matches the training gear Ralph has been wearing the last couple of games, looks like he has made a mad dash from riding winner in the 4pm at Ascot

Nothing wrong with those, makes a change and as others have said rids us of the stupid “Bra” Under Armour seem obsessed with. Seems a shame to have done away with the Yellow on the away, especially when the manager commented this past season that the boys seem to like “pulling on their yellow trousers and going out to play”. On the Saints Facebook page they had a past shirt vote recently for the next historical replica to appear in the shop, the 1976-1980 thick stripes with thinner side stripes wiped the floor with the rest so I’m guessing that’s next years prep being done.

They are in a spot of Bury type bother so probably still searching
