The Kraken

Rodriguez is very quick; we just don't ever really seem to play to it. He's also a different type of player to Walcott and Welbeck; the types of player we simply don't have. And I agree with your summation about the third goal.

F*cking hell!

I think you just did. Oddball.

"All I'm trying to do is give [England] a different option." "Whether he's gonna start me or whether he's gonna put me on the bench, I'm ready. Whatever's the best for England" Oooh, I'm seething about those comments from Lambert after the game.

Not so much, no.

I meant for a WC or EC champs.

Steve Bull from the Second Division as well. That will never happen again, I reckon.

A completely sh*t footballer?

No, that's why I asked.

Who is "they"?

Oops, Gerrard MOTM. Let the hate begin.........

You actually had to ask

A fair answer. Like I said earlier I think RL will get the nod (unless Welbz gets another one late on) but I think I'd also say fair play if Welbeck does get it too. Welbeck didn't get an assist but he was instrumental in the first goal. Credit where its due.

Indeed. Just you wait, Jermaine Defoe will start against Ukraine now. Woy only hopes Rickie will fail.

If Lambert had instead scored the 2 and then not got MOTM, would you be equally annoyed? FWIW I think Townsend will give it to RL anyway.

Another one to add to the clueless brigade.

Apparently not appreciating his all round game until now is the new feature for getting a bit hot under the collar.

It's been a great night so far for him and Saints fans. Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves at half time though, eh?

A genuinely brilliant player. Blighted by injury so far, goodness only knows how good he'll get if he stays free of injuries.

Ha ha, get in there!!

Bright start for RL but seems to have gone into his shell a little. Come on Rickie lad; get in that box and knock one in.

Should have had ribeye FFS.

If it's anything akin to what I have heard (and much of which is in the public domain) its along the lines of the role Richard Fry played by being the exec at Barclays responsible for cutting our overdraft (and hence sending us into administration), then subsequently becoming a partner at Begbies Traynor, who were our administrator. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-1197918/Charles-Sale-Whats-Fry-cooking-Saints-now.html It was also somewhat fishy that, after lowering our overdraft during the season from £5M to £4M, Barclays couldn't/wouldn't wait another month or so to allow us to make the summer transfers that would have reduced the overdraft level to comfortably within the newly set parameters.

I spent half a season in Tignes; its one of my favourite resorts, absolutely fabulous. High resort base so its very snow sure (at the beginning of another winter season I skied Tignes on 1st December in glorious conditions). Linked with Val d'Isere so the ski area is absolutely massive. A huge variety for all ability levels from wide, easy, long beginner runs, excellent cruisey blues and reds, decent black runs plus some phenomenal off-piste. And the snow parks are very good too. I'd struggle to find a fault with Tignes aside from the fact that the buildings and architecture is a bit ugly; but really, who cares about that? One thing to be aware of though. There a 5 separate villages to Tignes. Val Claret is the highest up the valley, which is linked by bus (and the slopes of course) to Lavachet and Le Lac. Les Boisses and Les Brevieres are further down the valley at lower elevations and are much smaller villages. Still good access to the skiing but just something to bear in mind, the bus services to those two aren't as extensive as those of the upper three villages, which makes going out for drinks in the evening a bit more of a challenge.
