Selling them Lovren helped turn them into rivals. All part of Uncle Les' cunning plan.

"mea culpa". A flippant apology. Apparently "originated" in USA street basketball in the 1980s (whatever that is). However the minor English literary figure W Shakespeare had previously used the phrase in Sonnet 112 (with apologies to David in Sweden).

Agree completely. Hence his failure to score in tournament finals for England, until his 3rd attempt at the WC last year.

Whoosh... I thought it was only Americans who didn't get irony. Twain never said what is often quoted, nor did he say what started this off in post #6. http://oupacademic.tumblr.com/post/48310773463/misquotation-reports-of-my-death-have-been

Its a misquoted Americanism, attributed incorrectly to a minor literary figure

Something fishy about this, though usually skates can't read or write.

2 against the mighty Malta and 1 against England in a friendly. Those of an unkind nature might suggest that record is akin to being a flat-track bully.

The dinlo that made the changes couldn't even get the right, said he died on the 5th when he/she posted it on the 4th. Maybe it was Mystic Meg. Really pathetic. Wiki have fixed it anyway.

Not us then. We are an absolute top club. :-)

It may have been invented in Southampton, but William Gordon was born and lived in Ratcliff in London.

Archie Thomas played for the u18s today (lost to Chelsea 3-1).

Just the same as Sky. Sky understands. Its just media waffle for a story they would like to be true but for whixh they have no basic facts with which to back it up. Did you learn nothing from the window?

LOL, as usual, obsessed with your personal hatred of Davis.

The Echo understands, sound familiar. Made up stuff.

He was head and shoulders their best outfield player at St Mary's, wonderful run and cross to make their goal. He was giving our right side a hard time before the goal (it was the game when JWP played right back). I really don't understand how you could think he was "toss" (assuming you mean the home game and not the replay). Only Wanyama got a better rating than he did (their keeper got the same). Still football is apparently all about opinions.

Did they play on the wings?

You are right, it is "Enrique" according to his birth registration.

We also have 2 loanees, who presumably won't be here next season, Kelvin should finally have retired, Ramirez' contract will have finished and Vic will be at Spuds playing in the Championship (OK, the last is wishful thinking).

I know he's a Boscombe player now, but as an ex-Saint (and Chippenham lad) sad to see he has suffered similar injury to J-Rod and will miss the whole season. Still a shame to me that we released him, was clearly a talent when he played against us for Ipswich last season.

Just a thought, but maybe they are the 2 "trialists" who have played in the most recent u18s matches. No mention of them in u18s matches otherwise. I would assume Joshua Murray is not the Man City u18 defender of the same name, given that he is listed for Many City as well, but I suppose its possible (would be quite a coup if it was, he is very highly thought of). I think Archie Thomas is a 16 year old (born Aylesbury Vale 1999) from what I can find out, there are too many Joshua Thomas' to be able to identify him in the same way.

So it does have an impact on you...

He should be back on Monday. Is that 4 days? Hardly 2 weeks away, probably only misses one training session, maybe two, and with hardly any first team players available he is not missing much really.

Flat-track bully :-)

Oh dear. 34 appearances for 17th ranked country in the world (and much higher when he was actually regularly in their squad which he hasn't been for the last 12 months) would suggest otherwise. All this at the age of 24. He had a lot more than one decent performance for us as well. Still, you and Alpine think he's rubbish so I guess you must be right. But, his biggest weakness remains him giving away the ball far too easily in centre midfield, if he sorts that out then he has a future.
