  1. Honours aren't just awarded out of the blue, recipients have to be nominated for consideration in the first place . So if anyone with time on their hands wants to set the ball rolling ..... https://www.gov.uk/honours
  2. Or based on that idea Danny Ings Danny Ings We've not got a song for you... has a certain ironic humour to it ;-)
  3. If we can't come up wit something based on Chuck Berry's My Ding-a Ling we're really not trying. For our younger readers ....https://youtu.be/UaEC-lWSlmI
  4. Transfer Window Days just ain't the same any more
  5. Not just a dressing room. Sounds like the OP has never spent anytime interacting with normal male human beings.
  6. Probably explains why he rarely gets past his man then
  7. There's not many games at this level where a team isn't in danger of losing at some stage during the 90 minutes. The important point is they DIDN'T lose those games. They COULD have been 3-0 down in the semi - most teams at this level will create/allow a few chances during a game, the important point was they weren't. They didn't play the youngest team to reach a semi final, they played them in the final. Agreed they wern't a brilliant team, butnor where many others. I felt that this years WC was a bit like the PL when Leicester won it with nobody really outstanding, France were deserved winners and Croatia deservedly second.
  8. Indeed, he's always been under-rated as a player but as a "person" he's head and shoulders above many in his attitude to both himself and the game. I've read his book, the effort and commitment he has put in over the years to keep improving deserves success. Compare with Neymar whose talent seems to come naturally but as a person seems to be a total kn0b.
  9. Orinoco Rooster? That's his next user name sorted then.
  10. Why are you still here ?
  11. Rear view only Could be a stunt double. The plot thickens.
  12. Sad reflection of modern day football that that sentence includes the word "only"! Good signing, now to get FF off the payroll.
  13. WTF! Seen some strange posts on this forum over the years but this one is going to take some beating!
  14. Any keepers out there? What would you have done? His lob straight to the forward was atrocious but for me the even bigger mistake was as soon as he saw what he'd done he went backwards. Surely a better option was immediately charge at Rebic spreading arms and legs as wide as possible and screaming his head off, anything to put him off. It was such a slow up and down lob chances are he'd have been on him before he volleyed it, certainly close enough to distract him. Having said that, it was a very enjoyable moment
  15. I feel the same (about the kit, not Prowse). In the photos of players (and the Aussie fan) wearing them the red area across the top of the chest looks much smaller than in the leaked photos on hangers . And the collar looks a better shape as well, in the hanger photo the black collar seemed to merge into a black inner back panel or something giving it a weird blocky shape. Still don't like stripes, still wouldn't buy one but definitely liking it more the more I see it.
  16. I remember this time last year seeing our "easy" start and predicting we would be top of the league at Bonfire night. That went well then. I'll keep quiet this time round although our fixtures till the end of October look pretty comfortable
  17. Don't like it but nice to been seen on a par with Chelsea, Juventus & Barcelona. No idea where that was taken but maybe our standing abroad is higher than we thought.
  18. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44360546 Never heard that referenced before. Anyone know how long and what age he was here? Can we add to him to Ramsey, Hoddle & Keegan as ex-Saints England managers
  19. But that shirt DOES have We March On inside the collar. Fingers crossed it's a fake after all, it's horrible.

    Winter Break

    Yep that makes sense, although that's effectively 2 week breaks staggered over a 3 week period. Probably just badly worded.

    Winter Break

    After years of talking about it the PL has decided on a winter break in February https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44414487 Could be just me but not sure how this works Does that mean 10 teams have 2 weeks uninterrupted whilst the other 10 have two separate weeks with a game in the middle?
  22. Assuming the same squad as well, in his short spell he showed he could get more out of them than MO could (both tactically and attitude/effort wise) Think Hughes would have won the same games MP won. Without being over optimistic I think he'd have secured at least an additional 5 wins among our 15 draws, and another 5 draws among our 16 defeats Which, whilst not spectacular would have put us 8th comfortably above Everton and just behind Burnley
  23. Read this last week on holiday. About half the book is about his time here. Not that you'll learn much about the club. It's really about his constant striving to improve himself as a player, from childhood to present day (up to date enough to mention MH arrival but not staying up so ). He really does seem one hell of a committed guy, deserves any success he achieves in his career.
