  1. You would have started with Rodriguez instead of Osvaldo yesterday then?
  2. So, if we win at Old Trafford we are odds on to win the premier League!? HA Love that website and towards the end of a season their model is essentially flawless in calculating probabilities but it lacks context so early in the campaign.
  3. Yep, had a great time at the one filmed in Coventry a couple of years ago. They specifically asked me to attend as the only member of the general public in the local area who would happily admit to voting Tory!
  4. Come on Sour Mash, you must know that not all human beings are the same. Some (i'm guessing you are part of the group i'm in) can control that and keep any frustrations within, others will vocalise them, others will go nuts over it, and others will remain in a zen like state of nirvana. We could be getting into quite deep discussions over human nature and conditioning now, suffice to say though we do fundamentally both agree that negatively jeering your own player is counter productive!
  5. At the expense of our attacking threat. Thankfully we had done what we needed by that point.
  6. If it was that simple I would be in the England team!!! In my opinion he didn't play to his best yesterday anyway, it could have been match rustiness but he shirked a few challenges in the first half and played utterly within himself as far as distribution was concerned. He thankfully grew into things and with JWP providing cover he looked far more in place. People were frustrated with a player who is out of his depth. On another day it could have cost us the game, it didn't. As I said, the reaction to him achieves nothing but the crowd is occupied by 30,000+ emotional human beings who will express frustration with an obvious weakness. Are we the only club that seems to pick on the weak link in the side?
  7. It achieves nothing. Yet people react emotionally to things at football matches, we don't just sit there passively and stoically like MLG do we!? If a player is seen to be underwhelming and not pulling his weight they will get a reaction. It's telling that it happened even though we won, he certainly didn't get the same reaction in the Manchester City game last year.
  8. Being a pedant mate, it wasn't booing. It also wasn't from the start, he was given a chance and was the worst player on the pitch. He was a little exposed at times but there were occasions when he looked terrible (bottling going in for challenges) and at best was utterly ordinary, contributing nothing other then a safe pass and simply another body on the field. Anything negative from the fans was born of frustration rather then contempt. I would never condone it yet I can understand it.
  9. Nope, if anything he was cheered a little where I sit. Fox wasn't booed either (that I could hear), but the sarcastic cheering was a bit much.

    The lesson, if you are going to eat an overpriced crappy burger at football at least be sure to get it from the vendor vans around the ground. Any burger that comes in a bag is asking for trouble! That they will happily take extra money for something they knowingly cannot provide is quite scandalous however! In the grander scheme of things it's what, 20/30p or so between a burger and cheese burger? It is however you dress it up though; theft.
  11. We are in form, Manchester United are looking to turn a corner. This is such a weird feeling; I fear it's going to be a massive anti-climax for us. We can beat them, we have no better chance of winning at Old Trafford in the league then this but all runs must come to an end and Manchester United surely cannot stutter this much for an extended period. Prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Saints
  12. He's pretty damn good. Better then Niemi? Could be.
  13. Great player, him and Rickie are really beginning to learn how to link up and his link up play with the midfield is superb, he is such a handful. No mistake that when he picked up the knock we were tactically off kilter.
  14. That drive home went rather quick! I shall be staring at the table for an hour or so tonight whilst sipping a cold drink intermittently. Enjoying this while it lasts! The match was a game of two halves... the injury to Osvaldo was the turning point but Boruc was inspired and we just about ground it out. Rodriguez' goal was the icing on the cake.
  15. He seems to me in some ways to be the 'Morrissey' of hip hop.
  16. Channon, 185 in the league Le Tissier, 209 all competitions? Yep, you got it.
  17. Well, it was stated we would decline a place via fair play last year.
  18. Only if you are letting them in. How does the expression go..... Goals win you games, defences win you championships.

  20. I doubt we are the specific focus, but he would certainly want certain people to be aware of that.
  21. On the S3 there is a default browser with flash compatibility that works fine. I take it the S4 doesn't have this?
  22. I started taking magnesium supplements to help with muscle tightness during my training, it might help ease things.
  23. If it is the same ankle then you may be onto something. I have suffered from inflammation in my own left ankle after training recently and that suffered a rather nasty sprain back in 2011. Totally echo the comments about gait analysis, helped me massively when training for the GSR/Malta Half Marathon.
  24. Have there been any significant changes to diet, lifestyle etc recently? I'm guessing you have never had injury issues at any point in your life before (very fortunate if so) I have to ask the question, how old are you? Also, what kind of rest interval do you leave yourself between workouts?
