That was the point which Dobbo (OP) was making ! Ian Wright in his 'expert' wisdom actually said that VVD and Stephens had done well which meant that he hadn't done his homework correctly

Sorry to be a pedant but it is "once bitten, twice shy" !

You really must be a great laugh at a party

Football clubs and gender neutral pronouns.
eurosaint replied to hypochondriac's topic in The Saints
Just thinking about it, I wondered what first name an Mx would adopt ? Peter, Dave, Mark and John tend to imply male ! Susan, Mary, Nancy and Sheila tend to imply female ! Do they have to use Sam/Samantha, Leslie/Lesley etc.. cos otherwise people will assume that they are either male or female anyway and the whole pronoun thing is out of the window ! -
£22.80 is a mega rip-off even for individualised items such as these ! I used to buy similar items for a large retailer and the landed cost price was around £1.50 !! Makes the replica shirt trade look almost normal !
-
Somebody told me on Saturday that he asked Boufal (he came very close to the touchline at Brighton) why he was out wide rather than through the middle - his answer was "ask the manager" ! I'm pretty sure that Pellegrino determines, game plan, tactics and subs and it was clear to me that v Burnley this is where we fell down ! In general play Burnley are no better than us but they define the characteristics of the manager (team spirit, hard work, discipline etc..) Perhaps we also play in the image of our man which is a bit dull and uninspiring !
-
Right now they are two goals up at home against a bottom 3 club whereas we got an away point ! For sure it’s a bit early to start making judgements based on today alone !!
-
Must be gutting for Brighton fans having dropped two points at home to such a bunch of useless non-triers ! A quick look at the league table may have stopped you making an arse of yourself but hey,ho, if that’s how you see it then good luck to you ! Personally I prefer to be realistic and accept an away point as being ok, not great but could have been worse ! We march on....

“You couldn’t make it up” - after 45 mins at Leicester, Puel is suddenly the messiah Sometimes you just gotta love the ‘Saintsweb’ way
-
So 11th placed Leicester are the benchmark for 9th placed Saints ?? Cue comments that we should never have sacked Puel
-
An away point in the PL is ok ! Handball in build up to equaliser! Tried to change it with subs ! Better result for us than them ! 9th in league ! Had worse days in my Saints supporting life !
-
TBF Boufal has contributed very little so I’m not surprised at the change !
-
Must have been pretty wild in Ayrshire, I'm surprised that the course was actually open ?? http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scotland-braced-battered-storm-brian-11372396
-
I was thinking that too, although TBF he got a couple of little backtracks in recently to soften the blow (he is a top troller after all) :)
-
Ricky lambert said it yesterday on 'Goals on Sunday' !!
-
Great goal, no doubt and I hope that he gets a start versus Brighton but I urge caution in that he still has a lot to prove in his all round game ! One fear I have is that he will use this to display his individual skills at the expense of playing for the benefit of the 'team' ! Anyway, it's a positive problem for the manager to have and may give some of the others a much needed kick up the backside !
-
Great substitution from the manager !
-
Davis in for Redmond otherwise unchanged !
-
Getting older - was it this bad for everyone?

Perhaps Mourinho was seeking out Alpine for some tips on positivity and man management ? Sounds like they didn't meet up which is a shame ! :)

Passion is not determined by non stop slagging off of the the club and it's officials ! Ambition is not defined by just spending money ! When you get your head around that you might just see why people class you as a troll !
-
Wore the iconic no.7 shirt with passion and pride, it was a pleasure to watch him play for Saints ! Good luck in the future - Sir Rickie Lambert !
-
Then the punishment should become more severe ! If shirt pulling and diving in the box were to become automatic reds (and the refs applied the rules properly) then we would no doubt have half a dozen reds in the first match which would send out a proper signal and perhaps even solve the problem ! The 'Corinthian' attitude which you mention is worthy in sports like golf and snooker which IMO makes them all the better for it !
