Golden Balls

I seem to remember Pelle counting with his hands held aloft earlier in the season which hurried the keeper along. Can't hurt if the Northam started doing it when a GK is taking the ****.

What a horrendous season that was. As someone said, David Prutton is a really nice guy. Strange how different he was on the pitch. Didn't think Harry helped by dragging him away. Made it look worse.

Always used to like Stoke. They pretty much had an ex-Saint starting 11 at one point

Sounds promising. He's at the perfect club to develop into a full international.

Had a dream last night Lallana scored an own goal with his arm trying to block a free kick.

Would love Lambert to get at least a small run out. Would be nice to give him a round of applause. Liverpool look good going forward against Palace at the moment. Could do with some injuries/suspensions now.

Jesus that debut was the worst display I've ever seen from a footballer. It took him a while but he did come good in the end. Davies was decent but I think he was slightly overrated by our fans due to his effort. In a terrible team he seemed to be one of the few that cared.

Need more width and support to those wingers. Then good crosses that either produce a chance on goal or the 2nd ball is collected. With that 2nd ball you either have another attempt on goal or spread to the opposite wing. This stretches opponents and eventually works. It's what the top teams are used to and do well to break down. We're not used to it.

He is so important to the team. He works so hard and will run through brick walls for us. He gets double marked (and battered) by defenders giving the rest of the team more space. In terms of goal scoring, he's feeding off scraps. Ageuro wouldn't score if he's not given any service.

That's amazing. Shows how things can change very quickly. Positively or negatively. Personally I think if we finish 5th that's a huge achievement. 4th still seems too much for me, a pessimist.

This

He wasn't offered to us at all. They came in with a stupidly low offer for JRod so we went back with (or made public) we'd take their offer PLUS Harry Kane.

What a finish today. He's the type of player who will have a shocker followed by a blinder.

A real moment

So 6 then

According to Ian Darke, the Pompey shirt is too heavy for some of their players. Seriously, that's what they think. Deluded beyond belief.

There's no way QPR would sell Austin for the same reasons Burnley won't sell Ings. If we sign someone, it'll be someone we've never heard of.

Probably his best game for us tbf.

Why? They aren't local rivals. I'm a massive Saints fan but I'd more than consider going from Burnley to Spurs. If Saints were interested too, then I'd probably go there in the current set up. But that might not be the case.

Seen a lot of them saying they'd take Adkins. Take?! Hopefully the board give him one or 2 more games and he can scrape a win. Short term benefit for long term pain.....or vice-versa from out point of view.

Used to be brilliant. Like someone said, as soon as Lovejoy went with Sheephead etc, it really went to ****. Don't really watch it anymore. Occasionally stick it on when hungover and nothing else is on.

Nice fishing. But in a good contest of 2 good players, Elia came out on top.

Never really been a fan of JWP and I know I'm in the minority. He's not first team quality IMO, however I think he could be in time. His set pieces are the best in our team by a mile. He can't shoot though which is odd. I always thought he was quite negative with his passing but the last few games he's got his head up a bit more. He lacks pace which is an issue. However, he's still very young and clearly has a footballing brain. With some experience he can add an extra yard to his game. Needs to bulk up a bit which will come in time. It's refreshing that people seem willing to give him time. I'm not sure that would be the case if he was South American or African and came in for a medium sized fee.

Nah he was pretty hopeless. But that was just yesterday. That's not his usual self.
