Shirls, don't forget us when you're famous
Tokyo-Saint replied to batterseasaint's topic in The Saints
I wouldn't really say it is balanced. The facts are IMO wrong, they are adjusted to fit a theory. It is well written and interesting but pretty far off the truth in some parts. As Steve said the Ramirez stuff is way off. He was not moved to accommodate anyone. He was moved because Lallana was injured and it was either him on the left or Steve De Ridder... -

Tokyo-Saint replied to batterseasaint's topic in The Saints
I hope our early season ways don't make a return. We are not Barca and if we want to be (like) Barca, we have to build up gradually. The start to this is cementing our place in the division, keeping the defence tight and making us hard to beat. That's what Everton do and have built on that. Man City did not start their their revolution by trying to be world beaters (bar the ill fated Robinho signing). They bought players like Bellamy and worked their way up. You can't suddenly become Barca over night, dominating possession and not giving the other team a sniff. Not when the other team has better players than you anyway. -
Or QPR...

I am pretty sure we played 4-2-3-1 against West Brom. For me the change came after the 'crunch meeting'. After the meeting it seemed Adkins was able to pick his own team, play his own style and be true to himself. The all out attacking football was replaced with a tough to beat team, we started to get clean sheets, pick up points and pick up the odd win. I feel though, after this meeting NC thought, well if you can't do it this way, I will find someone who can. -

Pochettino - what can we learn from this TV caricature
Tokyo-Saint replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
He said "someday, somewhere far away from here, some little pencil dic that hadn't heard of me two weeks ago will defend me to the hilt" then the reporter says "you must be kidding? You're 20th in the league with less points than Mark Hughes could have gotten" to which he replies "yes, but I've been so ****ing busy watching DVDs some Italian midget keeps sending me, I can't concentrate on this crap. Who cares anyway, everybody knows this city only has one team" More or less anyway, my Spanish is a bit rusty. -
People who are getting a cut of the cash the money rich Arabs are pouring into the game. Those that run it basically.

Players Revolt? / First training session
Tokyo-Saint replied to Give it to Ron's topic in The Saints
I like the idea of this, very QPR 4 year plan like. 1-0 up on Monday night and pinoche turns to the bench and says to his translater "tell Davis to warm up, we are going to tighten up the middle of the park" translator mumbles something and on comes Guly. -

Yeah, they are always so balanced and fair, you'll be fine. -
Will Ramirez be more effective under Pochettino?
Tokyo-Saint replied to trousers's topic in The Saints
Just a couple of questions my dear main boarder. 1) Need for what? 2) who is not calm? It can't be me as I am sat calmly on a train on my way to meet a mate for a couple of pints, couldn't be calmer. Anyone can see that gaston is better in the hole. However, sometimes it has to be horses for courses. At times away, we will need to block up the centre of the pitch and play on the break. In these games, Gaston and Lambert are better as subs, coming on to make an impact. That is my opinion but it is not the one that counts. The one that should count is the managers (not the first teams coach - the ****ing manager), not some rich banker, not you, not me, not some mentalist in the Alps, the managers. Now, If over a period of time, the manager fails, NC should sack him. If the manager is the most successfull manager in over 100 years, then NC should just sit in his shiny suit and shut the **** up. -

Tokyo-Saint replied to Tokyo-Saint's topic in The Muppet Show
Hahah you're definately welcome here! Just a tip though, see the thread on where the line is before the infraction gun starts firing. If I remember correctly, it was topless crack ***** whore eating a banana but with her hair over her tits. Not sure how this will be received by the Internet police. Before you ban him police, please remember that embaressing bodies is on ch4 at 8pm and has this kind of **** all the time. I say we stick by their rules. -

Tokyo-Saint replied to trousers's topic in The Saints
I'm listening road saint but all I am hearing is that you and stato would sell your souls for a slightly higher league position and a nice new David Lloyd style training area with a wave pool and sauna. Regardless of if pocho is the best manager to ever have come out of Argentina, the way the switch was handled was disgusting. Whatever happened to doing things the right way? I've taken all the stuff about NC being a knob with a pinch of salt before, ****ing of contractors, not honouring this and that, high staff turn over etc. However, this one has been done right in front of our noses, to a decent guy and a club legend. We should be building ****ing statues for the guy, not offering someone else his job weeks ago and getting him to work on in vain, knowing that when the time is right you'll stab him in the back. -
I prefered it when everyone was called Dan
