  1. Politics. The next time we might want to borrow a player it might help our case.
  2. Winning from a losing position?
  3. He ran around a bit more today and worked harder but he’s too lightweight for me.
  4. Obafemi has more presence about him.
  5. Nice one Jack
  6. Nice one Prowsey!
  7. Great ball from Adams.
  8. He still doesn’t like his left foot does he.
  9. Andy Carroll is out of contract. Just sayin, like
  10. What is that supposed to mean? Stephens is on a contract and if we have injuries then sometimes he may be considered the best option we have, risks included. Of course they can see what is wrong in his play. Coaching him out of it might not be as easy as you think.
  11. Salah didn't 'dink to ones side'. I have just suffered watching that again and if you look at Salah you will see that his right foot doesn't move it is firmly planted on the ground the whole time. Most keepers wouldb't have come for that. Stephens wasn't at fault alone but it was his job to at least try to cut out the cross or make it more difficult for the crosser. He is too passive and reactive.
  12. He was supposed to be playing full back.
  13. Meh, we've had worse
  14. Yes, there is a drop down box listing your friends and family. I was able to buy one for my other ticket but there was an asterisk against a newly created one for my grandson.
  15. I've seen plenty of dross over the years and this isn't it. Besides, my club, thick or thin. Or in our case, my club thin or thin.
  16. What a pile of dogshit! You try for a couple of categories only to be told 'none available - guess again". After several goes at gradually working your way around the ground I finally managed to get a couple in row EE somewhere up at the ends of the Itchen. I wanted to apply one to my 18 year old grandson so I created a supporter account for him as friends and family but he has an asterisk against his name for some reason. I'll try to sort out the name on the ticket later. I read somewhere that they will be asking for proof of ID but from previous experience is that going to be necessary?
  17. I didn’t realise that he joined us four years ago and still has another year left on his contract. Shame it didn’t work out.
  18. Meh. Safe with four games left to play. Never in doubt
  19. He failed in the one job he had to do Making excuses for him because he is playing out of position is ridiculous.
  20. I know a full back when I see one. Stephens isn't it. he's not even a very good defender. Time after time he loses concentration and it costs us. He may be your pin-up boy but with him in the side we are always going to be vulnerable. Was there some point of my 'old pony' that you didn't agree with and would like to offer an alternative view? Otherwise we're not going to have much of a debate, are we?
  21. I liked the Dell, especially with our seats in Upper East Stand centre.
  22. I don't think you can have watched the game. He is stood inside our penalty area watching the ball and doesn't even see Salah on the outside. The ball is played to Salah who has all the time in the world to look up and pick his spot. Stephens does nothing to put him off. The whole point of a full back is to try to cut out the crosses. Stephens might just as well not have been on the pitch. Yet you try to make excuses for him saying that he is out of position and not very good. Pathetic. If he is playing in that position he should at least put a shift in. He went walkabout at other times in the game too. Watch him for their second goal. It's comical the way that he flings himself to the ground as the ball flashes way past him.
  23. he was at fault for their first goal. Did his usual trick of ball watching and stood off Salah admiring his cross.
  24. A draw would keep Burnley close and mean that we would only need one point from our last four games.
