Any particular reason for that ?

Think I've got this. I know R Carlos is the sexy choice at left back but as an all round left back I actually think Ashley Cole might be the best left back I've seen. No one kept Ronaldo at the height of his powers in his pocket like Cole did and also a shout out to Andreas Brehme. Schmeichel Cafu Maldini Chiellini Cole Keane Xavi Messi Maradona Zidane RONALDO ( Brazil)

Ahh but this is the thing isn't it. At this time Zidane and Ronnie were at the height of their powers. You remember the YouTube vid Zidane vs Ronaldinho? It was a beautiful watch, but at that time Zidane just does it more for me. Ronnie was a great entertainer and had some outrageous moments but Zidane for me was pure grace and elegance on a pitch and also that ridiculously strong French team that won everything always seemed to struggle when he wasn't playing. Anyway, horses for courses but that's why zizou gets the nod over Ronnie for me.

If it were a team with balance I'd have Roy Keane at the base of the midfield. Other certs for me Schmeichel Messi Zidane Maldini CR9 Maradona. The others could be a turkey shoot and how you put them all together is beyond me.

Never even heard of Still till today. Fuck it, get him in !

199 ? Not counting todays ?

Yeah crossed my mind also. That would be devastating

I don't profess to be an expert on contracts and how they work unlike some of the chaps on here but if a manager at the beginning of the season took them both to the side and told there's no future for them at saints, I'm pretty sure they'd both want to play football at this stage of their careers rather than being part of the reserves. I suppose you can never really tell but I think that sort of approach might make them feel like leaving.

I'm of the opinion that janny and Stephens need to fuck off for good and we start from scratch. I know some will say the experience of janny etc etc, but to me he's just getting in the way now. We need to ditch both of them. Just my humble opinion of course.

Seriously dude, what are you doing. 😂

I'd be all up for seeing a pitch invasion just to make a real mockery of how shit we are.

Lighten up dude. I'm a fairweather and bloody proud of it. Much better things to spend my money on than watching that shite every week. I'm too old to care that much anymore. We all have different perspectives of life and believe me this football club ain't top of the tree for me anymore. Just worry about yourself mate. That's all that matters. Keep well.

I look at how Luton did last year. No way they have better players than us but they managed to put up a fight so 75% manager and 25% players for me but my caveat being that overall I blame the club. Several atrocious managerial appointments in succession. An abysmal failure. An embarrassment to themselves and the club.

I quite like that Archer is starting. That's all I've got.

This should be fun Which ironically works for this thread and a pisstaking motto. Win win
