Mark Twain popularised the saying. There is no documented evidence to say it was Disraeli.

I wonder if it's an attitude issue as the reports from last season while on loan weren't great. He clearly has some ability from representing his country and having good reviews at the ACON, obtaining player of the tournament, but it has been downhill since.

and it'll be slow if it's the free wifi.

I'm still searching!

Perhaps part of some murals in the concourse charting those who have contributed to the club over the years. At least that is where fans can see something rather than being a name of something.

Brazil as a nation for producing good footballers has been in decline for about 10-15 years. The old story of greed and corruption taking away money from the game down there.

Get yourself a mophie. It's saved me a few times.

I think you can do a better job than that. We need to know: name, duration at club, year started, position, list of clubs in chronological order with league/division. It would also be interesting to see how many sadly don't make it. Ta

And losing out! This is where the scouting team need to earn their money and get those hidden gems before the bigger teams come in.

He's off to QPR to team up with Rio Ferdinand.

when I move on to another company I don't burn any bridges and act like a big head. If that's your style then that is stupid and selfish. And calling Saints fans half wits... Classy!

Thank you, I got my prize of a ST in the post today... top man that Gemmel!

Not really, they forgot to lavish him in gifts because he's so super and only got him a cake and a handshake from the owners. Big fûcking ego angling for a move.

Im not convince, I think Roy knows how to play the game, it's getting the players to do it. I don't think some of the players understand and seem a bit lost lost or don't buy into it. This is why it's important to have the right set of players rather than pick the best eleven.

Baines hasn't had great games in the WCT, why didn't Roy choose Shaw for the Uruguay match or was it too much of a risk? If Cole had been in the squad, an easy change to make to challenge Baines to up his game and with little risk. Don't see the point of Shaw being there if he's not going to play.

I don't think England have beaten a higher ranked team in a World Cup Tournament in something like 40 years over 90 minutes, so it was odds on England would crash out at the group stage with Italy and Uruguay in the group. Perhaps to give us a better chance next time, the manager can at least set up the team with players that are experienced in playing in the positions they have been for their club rather than expecting them at the premier tournament against world class teams to play in a position that is not familiar.

And Gerrard shouldn't be playing in front of them.

So there is going to be synchronised bashing one out... well at least the same start time?

How do you find the induction hob for cooking? Getting a range this week with induction hob (no gas in the area).

Would be happy with Koeman, Yakin or Benitez.

Maybe they are also trying to line up some players (new or replacements for any outgoings) nice and quietly?

If true, that means MP doesn't want him at Spuds as they have first dibs on him. Which leads to other possible questions like are the board close to appointing a manager and are any CBs departing, are Spuds one destination?

I hope gets his chance at the World Cup with England and the champions league with Liverpool. The bloke deserves it and thanks for the FIVE years of service.

I think you are right and there is only a slim chance of holding on to players for a season or two from the academy, unless they are average or perhaps there is a cup win in the team. All we can hope for is that we can produce a couple of stars each season and use the money wisely like Lille in the transfer market to slowly move up the table unless KL wishes to spend in excess of £250m in transfer fees and wages. That would be extremely unlikely, but at least our academy is I assume part of the strategy the current board have in mind to see the club progress. The manager selection and transfers will show what ambition and the type of progress football wise they mean.

This and the board have done excellent job in challenging times.
