Also worth noting that the F.A.B. meeting was before Eckert earned three points.

Wonder if the betting odds are based on MB's posts, and wondering if anybody checked the accuracy of previous posts....

I would be surprised if Eckhart wasn't given the Sheffield Wednesday Game at minimum, and if we have a decent result, then give him a fortnight with the players to have couple of more games afterwards. It makes more sense to give him a run, than make an error with giving someone a contract now.

No pre-match presser. We go in knowing as much as QPR about saints player availability, tactics etc

if Solak wanted to, he could offer money to the manager he wanted. not saying he would. But saying he could.

So the new poster who mentioned Marco Rose....

There’s no single line where the coast “finishes,” which is why designated planning areas are so useful. In planning terms, the coast ends where marine processes stop being relevant. That means areas no longer affected by tidal flooding, saline intrusion, or coastal erosion fall outside coastal planning frameworks. Southampton qualifies as coastal because it sits on a tidal estuary directly connected to the Solent. It’s covered by Shoreline Management Plans and Coastal Change Management Areas, which are designed to manage risk from the sea. London, by contrast, is inland. While the Thames is tidal through the city, it isn’t exposed to marine erosion or shoreline retreat. That’s why London is managed under fluvial flood zones, not coastal ones, and doesn’t have designated CCMAs.

I don't know when you degree was from but It sounds a bit like astrologists still calling Pluto a planet because it feels familiar, but it hasn't been recognised as a planet for years. Definitions evolve. In planning and geomorphology, Southampton Water is a coastal estuary, and its management reflects that. The presence of river mouths doesn’t negate its coastal status.

No London is not on the Coast hence why there are no Coastline Erosion risks from the government. London, London | Shoreline Management Plans Southampton has coastal erosion plans Southampton, South East | Shoreline Management Plans Southampton is situated on an Estuary, London is situated on a river.

Huh. ? Strictly speaking Southampton is very much on the coast. It's how we manage to have a port.

Why do people still fail to check twitter accounts to see if they are kosher? Ones like this, are WUMs

Not saying he won't be good, and we definitely need a big DM in the vein of Wanyama or Romeu, but finished article is what someone is at their peak. I want a good player with no upper limit when given top class training facilities. Good to start with. But with lots of room to improve.

I think the clues on the term "21 year old" Championship clubs don't generally get "finished articles"

Isn't this like rating Christmas at 5am on the 25th December?

We played a short game before the Brighton friendly. can we get the poor first half out the way, by playing 45 minutes before the Watford match starts?
