  1. Quoting £250 mil on Talksport ?
  2. Wrong on two counts. The Law is, and always has been, that you cannot charge a GK when both his feet are off the ground in the Goal Area. You are getting two Cup Finals mixed up. Peter Mc Parland broke Ray Woods jaw in 1957 when he launched himself like a missile at Wood. In 1958 Lofthouse barged Harry Gregg into the goal. Legitimate then (both his feet were on the ground) but would be deemed violent conduct today.
  3. Forster should have caught it. However, you cannot barge a gk in the air in the goal area. Foul!
  4. He isn't. Can't you tell the difference!
  5. Very good but Broja a No.10? More like a No.9 - traditional Centre Forward.
  6. That and the comments that followed made me laugh for a week!
  7. That rules me out then although I have been a supporter since 1977. I live 160 miles away!
  8. Pretty good but full backs wrong way round!
  9. FFS what is wrong with you people. You have to have one scapegoat each season to constantly criticise and insult. The shot was deflected. very difficult to get down to that at close range. He also made some good saves and dealt with some crosses. Do you really think FF is better ???!!!
  10. Pleased to see he is still doing well. Had Duncan in my League Representative side way back before he joined Saints. Was very pleased to see him make his debut against Arsenal and thought he would go on from there.
  11. Took a mate who is a Leeds fanatic. He had a bad knee and asked to be moved at half time to a more comfortable seat. Lost site of him after that. His face was a picture when we met up outside. He has not stopped laughing about it since!
  12. Tella according to BBC - 5 at the back
  13. I got the feeling that a) there are winable games coming up and b) they have a good chance of extending the cup run. For these reasons they were not going to 'bust a gut' in this game and risk injury.
  14. Would bring Ramsay in at RB with Bednarek at CB and Salisu in midfield. If Ramsay doesn't perform Stephens could come on at RB
  15. Why do we 'die' in the second half?
  16. Covering the near post!
  17. It went high across his right arm and into the FAR side of the goal
  18. One straight forward save and one good interception. No reason to drop McCarthy
  19. Full strength Forster? McCarthy must come back
  20. No but fair play. I guess you are up to date now.
  21. Where have you been the last couple of days?
  22. He is longer a winger and was never a really good striker. In his young days at Saints, he was a cross between the two something no Manager seemed to understand or let him play the way he was at his best.
  23. Not as bad as described some places on here. He did play for England not long ago to be fair. What is going on in front of him is a nightmare for any keeper. I know, I was one albeit at a very lowly level! The coaching is also questinonable. ALL keepers seem to do basic things wrong these days, e.g. parrying the ball back into the danger area instead of wide, trying to take on lively forwards with dribbles and 'Cruyf' turns, passing to a nearby defender who has already been closed down. I would have been crucified for doing these things. And please don't tell me Forster or Gunn are better. Neither has the agility or willingness to leave the goal line that McCarthy displays at times.
  24. Don't know what the situation will be until 2021 I fear. Would be good to meet in a pub for games when on (if allowed!) Where are you located?
  25. Nothing on here since July 2019! Are there any Saints Fans in the Torbay/South Devon area who would meet up for games etc?
