Don't think Wet Spam will go down, but hopeful we can go above them, which would suggest we would be safe as well. They are on awful run, but there are enough teams who had a much worse start that will not be able to overtake them. We have to play them of course, 3 points would help and may put us above them. Manure are safe from relegation by the way. WE lost our chance to win the league a couple of weeks ago, but 2nd is still possible LOL
-
2 goals against Wet Sham many also be a help for us, 3 points behind BFS and we have to play them at home (on the down side any chance of GB having a rest when Spuds play us)

Tres bon. Good to see the train picture has been replaced as well. -
Newcastle 4-2 Southampton // Post-Match Reaction

No you weren't the only one, even Shearer said it on MOTD last night. -
Why on earth would you drop Yoshida? Forrent hasn't figured because he isn't good enough, simple as. The coach sees him in training and decides this. have to say I think he was a panic buy, and Jos covered well enough while Fonte was injured, now Fonte is back Forrent becomes 4th choice. Looked uninterested and slow when he was warming up in recent home game, as if he knew he was not going to get a game.
-
Apparently he had to manage us with one arm tied behind his back and his legs tied together. Seem to recall he was actually allowed to bring in several players, nearly all of whom were utter gash. I really don't know what Messa is on about.
-
To be fair, you could be quoting Pardew, who said the same (about us). He also said we were as good as or better than Chelsea and Metal Lurgies and that we were outplaying them. He also said they (Nouveau Chateau) would not have beaten us 6 weeks ago. Pards is a decent bloke.

Why would we need a poll, unless it is a choice between Fox and Foy? -

Clyne on the left and Richardson on the right. It worked well the one time we did it. -

The rule is the same as it has always been, "deliberately handling the ball". There are no references in the Laws of the Game to "ball to hand" or "hand to ball" or any of the other cock that some of the commentators/pundits come up with. -
No he doesn't. Shaw makes Shaw look good, because he is good. To be fair to Fox, the last few times he has been called on he has been OK (nothing more). But the problem is that he causes our other defenders to have to cover for him, because his positioning is awful. Makes Jos or Yoshi or whoever is playing on the left of centre to look poor as well.
-
Don't think there was much of a decision to be made though, I'm sure they didn't take Shaw off for a laugh.

There was a bit on the TV news about this earlier in the week, Hull playing Huddersfield away if I recall correctly. Two clubs with some of the lowest football banning orders in the country and who are not really rivals. People had already bought tickets and made arrangements (its on Easter weekend I think). Football Supporters representative claimed it was the first time in this country this method was being used, which I thought at the time was ******. Seems a complete nonsense, and it is anightmare of a journey for some Hull supporters who live further south. Just shows OB in this country still has view that all football supporters are criminal until proven otherwise, despite all the evidence to the contrary. The bubble is ridiculous, although if it could be improved for fierce rivalries such as Saints and Skates it may have some worth, but Hull v Huddersfield, plain stupid.

No. They were 7 points adrift before today and still are - 7 points adrift of safety that is.
-
Shame, it just means that the points deduction will have absolutely no effect (again). Rather they got enough points to stay up and then were relegated when the deduction was made. BY the way, thought it would be more than 10 points this time, but academic I guess.
-
11th is easily within reach, 3 points adrift is nothing, especially as we have to play most of the teams between us and 11th between now and the end of the season, beat them and the gap disappears even if we only match them in remaining fixtures. 10th may be a step too far, but in the end 6 points and Wet Sham are on a very poor run, even if they have not dropped (m)any places. I would predict though that we might end up 13th or 14th, which would be a reasonable finishing position in our first season back in the PL.
-
I guess it would depend where you are flying to.

I think we know what he is on.... he is on a wind up.
-
Just shows its all completely random for him, as I said before Christmas we were much higher on his predictions, now we are lower, he has no idea, just predicts us to win for many weeks, and then reaslises that we are doing as well as he thought, and then starts predicting us to lose, just when we start winning.
-
Most important player signing of past 3.5 years?
VectisSaint replied to Lallana's Left Peg's topic in The Saints
I thought he was signed by SAF, like most other refs. -
He often predicted us to win up until Christmas, but his prediction was wrong more often than not. If his predictions had been correct we would have been much higher up the table. But since Christmas he has changed his tactic and now predicts us to lose every game. All this proves is that he is absolutely useless at predicting, but not that he never predicts us to win. His comments and his predictions also do not correlate, he writes something and then his prediction completely contradicts his analysis. Just goes to prove he is a knob.

Put Shearer in goal and you can increase the value of the team (£3.6m)
-
Simply not true. Nothing more to say really. Renting a house with some rooms inaccessible is perfectly legal and very common.

Torres cost nearly 1000 times what we paid for the best CF ever, £55k for Big Ron, just shows stupid money in football these days. Even inflation cannot account for that.
