Troo dat. My Latin O level was back in 1965 which is, gulp, 60 years ago. Unless Tesco is the first person present tense of Tescare, to “rip off” in which case (!) the plural might be Tescamus, “we rip off”.

Shouldn’t the Latin plural be Tesci?

The cross seemed to catch Stephens by surprise.

I would suggest not logging in again until the dust has settled. Maybe four or five years down the road. After the next presidential election.

Indeed, but when he came on we were actually a goal ahead.

What is there to eat in the MacDonald Islands?

I wouldn’t have expected ‘exceptional things’ yesterday but basic competency would have been nice. Things like holding the ball up, providing an outlet, occupying attackers.

that’ll stop anybody who’s thinking about opening a car factory on any of them.

KWP made some exciting runs. Just a shame that the rest of the team were happy to stroll around watching him.

TP joined them in 2012 from Kenya on a scholarship. Reading this he seems to be quite a player! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Onuachu

“An evening with Southampton Legends - Hames Beattie & Matt Le Tissier” this evening at The Regent theatre in Christchurch. Tickets cost a whopping £32 should anyone be that desperate to go. https://www.regentcentre.co.uk/event/87788

The substitutions destroyed any cohesion that we had and we ended the game with a group of players and not a team. Only a fuckwit fucks with it.

What if there’s more than one?

My grandson was sorting out some old programmes and came across the one for Saints v. Midtjylland. Onuachu was a substitute in their line up.

Records are there to be broken.

That’s his fundamental problem.

Works for me.

That explains a lot😳

Does he go around nutting people?

He played well at Wembley.

There’s an extensive article (paywall) about James Beatty in The Sunday Times today. He is currently director of football at AFC Totton. https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/james-beattie-sir-clive-was-just-airdropped-into-training-nothing-was-said-h6d6hrc6j
