Bad Wolf

The Bank is decent. We're going to the Embassy before the game but it's a home only pub so no Saints shirts.

Fair play. I'd imagine football would be a very easy thing to fall out of love with if you did it professionally.

Sargent is awful. Saturday was literally his first good game for Norwich.

Can someone provide bullet points?

I hope that was satire. As cack as Adams is, he looks like Shearer compared to Mara. I'd be surprised I'd we ever saw Mara in a Saints shirt again after the Gillingham game and Russell's interview afterwards which basically translated as "I didn't rate him before the game and I rate him even less now"

No presser today?

Footballers get stomach bugs...

Our second best player in the second half of last season.

I was thinking more Forest Green. Putting the gender thing to one side, you also have to consider the fact that International management is VERY different to club management. In the men's game we've seen managers be useless at one and great at the other.

No Whilst there's no reason that female managers in men's team can't work, taking a gamble in that predicament isn't the best way to go about it IMO. The first men's team to appoint a woman manager will be some League Two club who are about 14th place, can neither go up nor down, with ten games to go.

Lyanco as Jos the Boss and Banning putting in great crosses but messing up defensively Danny Fox style? Looking forward to Martin starting to recite poetry and quoting from The Art of War.

Not wrap filling related but...When does he need to be announced/registered by to play on Saturday? Are loans the same as permeant transfers in that respect? It's the one area of the pitch we are really short in.

I'm a slut for an reduced sticker

Picked them up cheap from Co-Op. By far the best supermarket for reductions.

Oh I had salad today and actually had artichokes for the first time. And the last. I dunno if it was them or the foul dressing they came in but it was not pleasant.

Me too. There's no way an official at the club would give such a definitive answer if it wasn't absolutely happening.

What did he do? I don't remember that? Or do I not want to remember?

His first goal wasn't it?

Downes has been having a medical since Saturday

You have 20 minute's to move your car You have 10 minute's Your car has been impounded Your car has been crushed into a cube You have 20 minute's to move your cube

Why are we so delighted about selling our player? Lavia is class obviously but why do we care whether Liverpool or Chelsea buy him? As long as we get a massive pay out, he can go to Pompey for all I care.

Yes, next to nothing. If he was from the academy, he'd be being raved about. Case in point - Sam Gallagher who apparently "didn't get a fair chance". We'll still be saying that if he'd played for us until he retired. I'm sure Jake Hesketh (now at Sholing) should probably still get a chance too.

Mate who's a WBA fan: Holgate would be a fantastic signing for most championship teams. He's rock solid and great with the ball at his feet can see why Everton fans don't rate him, the PL is a big step up and he's not been great but for you he'd be a really good signing

Both

I've seen a lot of Downes. Probably more than any other Championship player in the last 3 years and he doesn't strike me as a pure defensive midfielder. IMO he's more of a Morgan type. Box to box.
