  1. I can't see the pitch in that photo. Could you see anything?
  2. Yes it was. It should have been 7
  3. More from that article in The Times yesterday: "It is odd to relate given the two clubs’ respective league positions that many of Southampton’s players were pleased to see the back of Ronald Koeman after his departure to Everton this summer, although that may say more about them than him. The Dutchman’s distant and detached manner had begun to grate with a group accustomed to almost perpetual change in the dugout at St Mary’s, and his farewell did not cause much anguish." Matt Hughes, Deputy Football Correspondent
  4. And let's not forget Bristol Rovers.
  5. There's an extensive article about Koeman and his impact on Everton in The Times this morning. This sentence stuck a chord with me: He has also made it clear that the first team is his overwhelming priority, to the extent that academy players are not permitted to use the gym at the same time as first-teamers.
  6. It doesn't work unless you mention it.
  7. The French do nothing but rhetoric. It's what they do best. (And why are all the spellings the American version?)
  8. Once again you demonstrate your lack of understanding of how the EU works. Juncker is just a front man, the real decisions are taken behind the scenes.
  9. I knew it was from May, that's one of the reasons I chose it. You need to understand how to separate the European rhetoric from the European facts. In Europe everybody likes to pretend publicly that they're all in favour of this great cooperation concept but behind the scenes they all know what isn't going to happen. Just because the British tend to say what they mean doesn't mean that everybody else means what they say.
  10. Not many nuts are actually nuts apparently. Brazil nuts are one example. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/qi/8434868/QI-Quite-interesting-facts-about-nuts.html
  11. Does this count?
  12. Still looks a bit heavy to me.
  13. Yet more Brexit scaremongering. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/if-you-re-voting-for-brexit-because-you-think-british-troops-will-be-called-up-to-an-eu-army-you-ve-a7024221.html
  14. That's a very generous and kindhearted offer.
  15. We do but some might not. Maybe the ref was asking whether a substitution was necessary? In any case there is the question as to whether their presence might affect matters on the pitch.
  16. If he's off the field of play there's no reason to delay further.
  17. Long had enough time after rounding the keeper to cut inside onto his right foot and choose his spot. At least his pace and runs behind the back four keep them from punching too far up and gives our midfield more space.
  18. Indeed. I was just wondering whether they might have originally offered the top tier but now it's the middle one. It all depends on their relative capacities I suppose. Maybe the top holds 5000 and the middle 8700 (less corporates etc.)?
  19. Absolutely, yes please, where do I sign up?
  20. Mixed mesages at the moment and of course, we ain't heard nothing yet. Just wait unitl we start to hear what sort of Brexit we shall be given and then see what happens. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/small-businesses-confidence-sinks-amid-brexit-fears-wbhhk2tbq
  21. Is it conceivable that Inter haven't actually decided yet which tier to allocate to us?
  22. Really? Which team did she play for
  23. James Adcock. He was good. Communicated well with the players and kept the game flowing without too much fuss. I even heard him shouting instructions to Martina about where to take the throw in at one stage. Mind you, the crowd was pretty quiet at times. http://www.thefa.com/news/2014/aug/international-football-is-where-players-aspire-to-be-officials-are-no-different
  24. Frequent changes of manager are also one of the reasons for frequent changes of players.
  25. All got to be printed by Inter with all the individual customer details and then sent out by registered (?) delivery. Would be a couple of weeks yet, I'd expect.
