Pleased to see Izquierdo going off.

Ah, Hojbjerg. Good to see you chap.

Feeling like a re-tread of the Palace game so far.

Excellent. Great free kick, wonderful cool finish from Davis.

Swaythling became Eastleigh a few year ago. HTH.

R.e. Bournemouth: https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/entry.php?56-Derby-Day As for Brighton. Aside from them reacting stupidly to Nigel Adkins' 'can they keep up' comment and their snotty reaction to not getting a guard of honour ahead of our vitally important game at Withdean in 2011..... I couldn't care less. They have done well to get promoted and are making a good fight of staying up. Fair play to them.

Amazed at us getting the penalty, the number of times Long has been fouled in the box in his time with us they are rarely given. Beautifully converted by Gabi..... But I feel we barely deserve it.

Oh come on.

Oh thank **** for that.

The last time we looked this bad must be 2008/09.

Better, some more unpredictable movement off the ball and incisive passing. But still no bite.

This feels so.... Sterile.

Terrible ball from Yoshi, but at least he is trying to make something happen.

Lemina is a bit of a shinning light right now.

I do get the feeling they are just going through the motions. Not trying to force anything to happen, just waiting for it to craft.

Very poor. Just content to leave him unmarked at the edge of the box.

The empty seats in the Chapel/Itchen corner suggest this thread is a little optimistic.

I hear you loud and clear. I miss the ignorant days of my early 20's when I felt I knew better, had a clearer vision of everything right and wrong in the world and felt truly optimistic about making a mark. Now, the more I've learned the more murky and clouded things become. Jaded is probably the best word.

Mixed feelings about the latest Discovery episode. So many ideas, not the greatest execution. And what a waste of a potentially interesting character.

Anyone watching Star Trek Discovery? Without spoilers, three episodes in and it seems to be providing a nice twist to the formula while keeping within some themes introduced in DS9. That it is trying to maintain continuity with the existing 'Prime' timeline is a nice touch, but it does already seem different enough to undermine that. Personally, I am enjoying it. It's great to have a Star Trek show back on a weekly basis.

He could do no wrong for us. Even when he left for Liverpool I couldn't feel betrayed, or angry. He had given us everything, so many incredible memories, so many excellent performances and goals. He had earned his dream move. My personal favourite Rickie goal was a turn and finish against Huddersfield (I think it was, a 4-1 home win around Christmas 2010). He was going through a bit of a tricky patch as we started our second season in League 1 slowly. His physicality to hold off the Huddersfield defenders on the turn and lash the ball underneath the keeper's futile effort to dive onto it was peak Rickie..... Beautiful control, dominating presence and fierce power. From that point on he, and we never looked back. We climbed into the play-off spots, vaulted into second and then continued our momentum all the way to the top flight. Born a Scouser..... Achieved immortality as a Saint.

That he is struggling so badly at Brugge now, has something changed in him? Did the lifestyle in England just not suit him along with the footballing style?

This should absolutely happen. Signed.

Yep, If he had been born around the time of the testimonial..... he would be 15 years old. God I feel old. This must be the biggest bump any thread i've started has ever had.

That's really put us on the map. Unfortunately, we will not have made it until we have an Isotonic Drink partner for Indonesia.... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/full-list-man-uniteds-64-9173142
