Quite right. Thank you. Mainly a reserve side from either nation..... but that would put him in the same bracket as a Jagielka, a Cahill, as per my comparison.

Davide Astori's international career. 2 appearances. Both a year and a half or so ago in 2011. Was sent off on his full debut against Ukraine (Italian win) for two yellow cards. All this despite playing for Cagliari. A team that historically has been no great shakes, would be no surprise for relegation and has nothing expected of them. A "Bolton Wanderer." It would be damn exciting to get him. His emergence on the italian national scene could draw some parallels with Gary Cahill's at the Trotters. As for Butland..... still not sure.

Normally a night out in Winchester with friends, this time a house party with the same friends. Less money spent, same great company, more chance of hearing each other speak.

If he was to leave for better things.... I could almost understand it. But anyone, anyone, please anyone but F**KING ARSENAL!!!

Yep. Safe bet!

Tell you what, if they manage that i'll buy you Marians Pahars' shirt from that very game.

Apparently he snubbed a meeting with the Morocco manager when he came to London to speak to him recently. That led to him being left out.

Ok. Newcastle Leeds United Manchester United Liverpool Stoke City Northampton Town Coventry West Bromwich Albion Wolverhampton Wanderers Birmingham City Derby Country Nottingham Forest Notts County Oxford United Southampton (Duh....) Bournemouth Bristol Rovers Burton Albion Dagenham and Redbridge Leicester City Blackpool Charlton Atheltic Sheffield Wednesday Barnsley Walsall Stevenage Borough Crawley Carlisle United Gillingham I make that 29/92. Lost Hereford United and Boston United in recent years.

0-3 to Liverpool after 28 minutes. Oh dear Harry, Oh dear oh dear. Seriously, anyone that would want to join QPR will either need to be mercenary (won't help) or a complete gamble. So nice to see a bit of Karma in this game.

It's the Moose. He is the most partisan and unprofessional journalist this side of Neil Allen. He would make a mountain out of the merest molehill as far as West Ham are concerned. I wouldn't worry.

Of our current lot, either Yoshida, Hooiveld or Rickie.

Oh. The first half was Guly's best spell in a Saints shirt. Him, Morgan and Cork ran the show.... and themselves into the ground.

Troll.

After that first half, i'm not surprised that we were hanging on at the end. We out-fought, outgunned and utterly outdid one of the most physical sides in the league. We were knackered, holding on... and got the point we deserved. That was a truly stunning game of football.

What a match. Just got back to Coventry. That first half. Unbelievable. Cork, Morgan and Do Prado ran the show. We deserved to be ahead even if it did take some calamity defending. Second half, we had worn ourselves out and Stoke needed a worldy to earn their share of the points. True entertainment, a point I would have killed for before. Got my money's worth today.

And that is something quite possible if we really are trying to get him. If.

Any mentions of a pitch inspection?

I said express, not have faith. See Essruu's point. Not everyone needs religious faith and belief to feel whole/complete as an individual. If you do, more power to you but in the same way you would want others to appreciate your religious conviction, please do not look down on others who do not need or identify with it.

For once, I agree with Essruu! No, but they no doubt express themselves in different ways.

Then why else support a football club? If it was all about love for the sport or a desire to win then everyone would just support one of the champions league qualifiers, that's the only way you could actively be involved with the best standard. Alternatively just do away with following a single club and be neutral, missing out on the highs and lows that being partisan can bring. I identify with Southampton as my friends follow them, I spent my teenage years in Hampshire (Winchester) and enjoy the experience of attending the matches in the part of the country that I feel is home. I'm not referring to harking back to anything, it's something more fundamental.

Organised religion, a tool used for population control, oppression and something that has many atrocities committed in it's name based on scripture from before living memory that has been constantly revised and adapted depending on what the current climate dictates. Something that can provide hope from faith but something that can also inspire utter horror. Football. A sport, that while full of politics involves the eleven men out on the pitch representing a community, identity, area that you identify with. It's something that is constantly evolving in front of your eyes, something that you can see. You will never in your lifetime see someone see a guy turning water into wine with no other tool then divinity, yet you will see flashes of utter genius that can change the mood, provide hope and joy of many people I know what I would rather put my 'faith' in.

Fingers crossed it has a little more edge then the well intentioned but sterile fanzine launched a year ago.

Christopher Samba.

I presume all the hot birds will be fag hags then?

He is however key to many parts of how we play and one of our best players. It will effect how they set up tactically.
