You would never have guessed that from Arry's interview ! He reckoned that they have really improved and individually mentioned each of his signings (Remy, Jenas, Townsend and Samba !) as being the reasons for this ! I suppose that some will believe it, mind, the media still seem to lap it up !!

Adkins has moved on.... Cortese has moved on.... Pochettino has moved on.... The club has moved on... I have moved on... Time for everyone to move on.... ??

That was exactly my point, if he can just be a bit more selective he could be awesome ! Ps. I am happy as a little piglet in sh#t !!

Sure he was creative at times but he gave the ball away away on countless occasions when it was just as easy to play a simple ball ! If he could learn to eliminate this then his all round game would improve dramatically IMHO ! Personally I though we were much more effective when AL replaced him !

Gordon Brown was allegedly an economics expert and turned out to be an unmitigated disaster ! Maybe we should stick with the amateurs ?

It's got to be more interesting than reading ANY of Barry Sanchez's threads (or even posts !)

Was that the kitchen range or the driving range ??

Agent Connolly seems to be cutting it a bit fine, his mission of " it's the hope that kills 'em " is admirable but I trust that he knows exactly when to pull the plug ? Oldham hold the key with 3 games in hand but it would be nice if our Dave would conveniently develop one of his handy little groin strains within the next few days !!

I was born, bred and educated in Scotland although I haven't lived there for more than 40 years ! Unlike many recent immigrants I do not have a vote on the country's destiny (fair enough, you may say!). I am ashamed and embarrassed that this referendum is even happening as I perceive it to be a personal crusade by one man seeking to leave his mark in history ! I have met Alex Salmond (well, was in his company whilst he held court!) and found him to be both arrogant and obnoxious ! In the (hopefully unlikely) event that he wins and things go 'tits up', he will be out on his ear very quickly and the country will be left to pick up the pieces ! FFS I might even have to start supporting England What is the world coming to, eh ??

"Dos cervezas por favor" !

Not necessarily in this order : a) A run in the team ! b) Playing in best position with flexibility allowed ! c) Confidence, probably due to a) + b). d) Proving SWF arseholes wrong !

Where's my bl**dy translator when I need him ??

TBF we always used to moan about getting 30 seconds at the end of the programme so maybe this format at least gives us an even chance !!

I agree that money isn't everything, I was honestly trying to respond to the question in the OP ! Clearly some have done better than others in the last decade or so and inevitably that has come out in this thread ! Glad you don't feel smug about wealth because neither do I (I started with nothing and have done reasonably well but that's life, it could easily have gone the other way!).

Never claimed to be Branson and I go to South Africa in the winter but still love the lifestyle here on IoW, sailing, golf etc.. ! Have lived in Liverpool in my day so can compare to IoW and I'm quite happy here, hope the same goes for you up there also ?

I refuse to divulge my personal details on here as the young lefties would have a field day ! Suffice to say that I retired in my late 50s and now spend a month or so each winter in the southern hemisphere and have just bought a brand new £40k Jag ! Better not say that I spent my winter fuel allownace on a couple of cases of wine from Majestic, otherwise they will become apoplectic

Wher I lived in Belgium there was an animal grooming centre called 'Doggy Style' ! (Just thought you'd like to know that !)

Roofing ? Think I'll stick to dogging

I watched that show last night and (just for the sake of balance) I did not think that he was denigrating Saints at all ! His point about Shaw was that he is so good that he will quickly move to a top 4 club, he was very complimentary re. Lambo (even reckoned he should get an England chance!) and with Lalanna he said very skilful but not the complete player (check out the thread on here re. his shooting and we tend to agree !). The show is all about banter anyway so nobody should take it too seriously and I can't understand why some of you are getting so hot and bothered !

I've come to the conclusion that we only dish out new contracts just to advertise these bl**dy watches !

I got left next to nothing either but will be leaving a fair chunk to my kids ! That really was my point, that many of the upcoming generation (admittedly not all!) will inherit in a way that their predecessors did not !

Yep !
