Sheaf Saint

He was having to lean back a bit to get his head on it.

This is the only working stream I have found so far... https://myoplay.club/playppv/?sport=soccer

I expect he will come on at some point, as will Diallo.

Ralph was quoted as saying that JWP wouldn't automatically get his place back. Diallo has been playing very well in his absence and didn't deserve to be dropped. Still not convinced by KWP at LB. Macca and Bednarek straight back in after their respective replacements both had great games against Chelsea. At least Walcott isn't starting I suppose.

And despite this, JV and RB have dropped to the bench today. Can't be a good sign.

Not hatred, just objectivity. He looked like he still had something to offer in the first half of last season, but since coming back from injury he's looked poor, and so far this season has looked out of his depth and contributed nothing. He's not the future of this team. A backup player at best now.

Just been to see Dune. I've been excited about this ever since I read that Denis Villeneuve was taking it on a few years ago and it didn't disappoint. Every bit as good as I hoped it would be.

Great memories. Not to take anything away from a terrific performance, but Boro's defending was comically bad for every one of those goals.

This is correct. The water companies all need to submit regular (5-yearly IIRC) water resource management plans (WRMPs) which go hand in hand with the AMPs and need regulatory approval prior to implementation, and yearly reviews. A lot of hard work goes into producing these plans, to make sure that the private capital investment is targeted efficiently, so that the plans can adequately meet the demand/supply forecasts but also so that the water companies can make a decent return on their investment. Also, you may have heard of a scheme called RAPID (Regulators' Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development) which is geared towards developing infrastructure to allow resources to be exported across WRZ boundaries and between different companies, and create something resembling a national grid for water supplies. It went out to consultation earlier this year, and surprise surprise, the common theme among water companies' responses was along the lines of "what's in it for us?", so they will be the ones meeting the costs for the new infrastructure.

Does the best catering and radio station count?

It would have been 6 wins if not for Doucoure punching the ball into the net 😡

Oh I absolutely do credit him for what he did with us previously, because those two seasons were among the best I've ever experienced as a Saints fan. It was thanks to his management that we qualified for the Europa League and I was able to go and watch us play at the San Siro, and for that I will be forever grateful. But like Ducky says, right man at the right time, but that ship has sailed now. I cherish the memories but I can't imagine him being anywhere near as successful second time round.

Were it not for him playing in the same era as Ronaldo and Messi, then Gareth Bale might have been around the time Real signed him from Spurs.

Because we wouldn't have the finances to sign those kind of players again if he came back. He was able to make those signings because of the money we raised from selling Lallana, Lovren, Lambert and Chambers that summer. If he came back he would be operating on a shoestring budget and I don't think he is the right kind of manager for that sort of project. Ralph has built this squad to play the way he wants to play, and I don't believe for a second that Koeman would be able to get more out of them than he can. As someone else has already said, it's extremely unlikely he would come back, and if the board are seriously thinking about replacing Ralph, I very much doubt they would even give Koeman a second thought anyway.

Sack Ralph, who has finally built the squad he wanted after 3 years, and replace him with Koeman, who will undo all that work, sign some of his favourites (what's Cuco up to these days?)on big contracts and then bugger off again as soon as a bigger club comes sniffing around? No, absolutely not. Ridiculous idea. If it weren't for the fact that he had managed us before, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I'd need to see it again, but it looked like it was going wide to me.

Worth bearing in mind that last night we managed something that no other team has done yet this season (in the league anyway) - scored a goal from open play against Chelsea.

I don't know, but it was reported in the Athletic... https://twitter.com/dansheldonsport/status/1430493087961337860?t=Q1Z9D0cW17NwMaoabhb8dg&s=19

Macca signed a new contract recently so this info is out of date.

Everton's defending for their last 4 goals was an utter shambles. I wouldn't read too much into that result.

You know Long scored his penalty, right?

I think his performance tonight has answered your question. I thought he was excellent against the European champions and current PL leaders. A big improvement on his showing against Sheff Utd, which wasn't anywhere near as bad as some people made out.

Tino is only 18. If he had taken one and missed you would have no doubt been howling that he should never have been allowed to take one.

No, but he dared to show a bit of emotion earlier on so he's automatically on Ducky's shit list whatever happens.

Why doesn't Mount get a yellow for that reaction?
