I don't believe he is that type of manager....he's more dogmatic than that IMHO (note: 'Dogma' can be a useful trait in a football manager, so don't take this as blind criticism, just an observation) Now, if Mr Keegan had been installed as our manager I believe your wish for 'go out and enjoy it' style of football would have been in evidence by now....

Same sort of skill base I guess. Unless, at Soccer School, they split the group into 2: those who can kick the ball up in the air whilst running and those who can kick a ball up in the air from a stationary position.

Are there any stats out there that show the type of assist lambert got per goal he scored last season?

It's a theme that crops up on here time and time again..."if only we had someone who could put a decent cross in the box" I may be missing something here but isn't kicking a football into the air one of the first things one gets taught at "soccer school"? If I'd have known that I could be picked to play for Southampton football club without this fundamental 'skill' I wouldn't have chucked in football for pies at such a tender age. Strewth.

Hardly surprising given he retired last season

How does a non story get to 9 pages?

Fair point

All very well and good but why did we go straight from IPv4 to IPv6? What ever happened to IPv5?

Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas?

If only DEAD people understand hexadecimal, how many people understand hexadecimal?

Sign the League's top scorer from last season

From pre-match thread.... Well, at least I got something right....

Yet another correct Trousers prediction on the cards.....COYR!!!

Thanks a bunch

Fret ye not. Pardew will bring him on for the last 5 minutes regardless of the score.... ;-)

Can't Baj just sign up to Justin.TV or Ustream.com and stream it for us?

Has anyone asked about TV streams yet....?

The question is...when we're 3 nil down by half time, will Pardew bring on Papa Waigo in the 88th or 89th minute? Tough one to call IMHO.

Certainly.... Players spread betting on time of first throw-in and watching live English football league broadcasts in England between 3pm and 5pm are both highly illegal activities....

Listen closely.....in the background you can hear the sound of a TV producer's knee jerking....

So, my hunch last week that Matt (or his publishers) "embellished" the story to get publicity for the book wasn't wide of the mark then?

Hasn't Sting got more important things on his plate, like saving rain forests and stuff?

If this thread is still a sticky tomorrow afternoon I predict there will be utter chaos on this forum of ours
