Minsk

What a load of guff and bluster! So, as it is not a sliding scale thing and your original quote was: 'It's actually a very broad view of being British, demanding bugger all except that you live in Britain' -I can only conclude that, in your eyes, I am not British as I am living in the Britain. Is that correct? And, I presume, in your eyes my daughter is not allowed to be British either? I guess then I cannot also be a Saints supporter as I don't live within an SO postcode. Oh, and nor can you! Obviously, than is a completely childish and banal statement to make - much like the majority of your posts. I will not even raise to your obvious trolling re servicemen being unable to look after themselves and being potential criminals if not for the discipline. Except to say thank feck you never joined up; judging by your posts, you are the last sort of character anyone would want to have watching their back when the chips were down!!

I haven't resided in the UK for almost 10 years now. Does this make me less British than you? If you think so, how does that tie in with the fact I served Queen and country for 25 years - more than half my life thus far?

Hmmm, I wonder....... Cheese on Toast banned end of Oct - Barry Sanchez appears beginning of Nov. Nah, purely coincidence........ and the fact that their posting style is entirely the same.... But then, you know all this don't you GS.

Well happy with that!! And what a goal from J-Rod!!!!!

Barry, If that goal today doesn't answer your question nothing will!! Minsk

We did go for Michu; he chose Laudrup and Swansea.

In all honesty, it depends on a number of factors: who the opposition are (their defensive strengths and weaknesses); home or away; weather conditions; are all those players fully 100%, or are some carrying knocks or niggles; etc. Assuming all will be 100% for our next match (home to Liverpool) I would start with A - Puncheon, Gastón, Lallana (with the intention of replacing Gaston with Davis for the last 20-30 mins). P.S. Why no Guly?

I agree. Also, IMO, Guly's best position is the No 10 one - which would make him the perfect replacement for Ramirez. Puncheon should have replaced Lallana. (This should have been a double substitution on about 60 minutes.) (On a side note - I wouldn't be surprised to see Ben Reeves used as a sub in the AMF role next season.)

Davis was ill and didn't even travel. Chaplow was on the bench.

Reading, QPR and Villa - I hope!!!

Why can't some people understand that there is a difference between being to speak understandable one-to-one broken English and English that a person would not feel happy to speak in a press conference? I can get by with my Russian when out and about, but no way would I be able to be interviewed in Russian. It really isn't rocket science!!

This.

If you don't like a thread just ignore it.

You see, that's what happens - post cretinous tripe, get cretinous responses. I tried to debate with you many times in the past, but you always ended up throwing insults at me (as you could not back up your opinions with any meaningful facts, and had no other response when facts were provided to shoot your diatribe down in flames). So I am not really inclined to debate with you further. Yet, it is of considerable note that you have nothing to say about the match. performance, players, etc - just more bowlocks about how bad you think Adkins is/was as a manager. There must be some reason for this? (Rhetorical question.)

This article - http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/statszone/archive/2013/03/08/the-unsung-ball-winner-stopping-the-premier-league-in-its-tracks.aspx shows you are wrong about Morgan. As for Gaston, he scored a very well taken goal last week and almost did so again today (bar for a good save from Bunn); certainly he came the closest to scoring for us. As for his being on another wave length, maybe that is because technically he is far superior to the players he is trying to play in? I do agree that his corners were crud today though.

The level we were at when he left was 15th in the premier league, and our performances were improving game on game. So, even by your own words in this post, his level is 15th in the prem. Pochettino currently has us 16!! As has been mentioned elsewhere, you were anti Adkins from day one and were consistently proven wrong in your assessment of him. So I don't think anyone can take your views seriously here!!!! In fact, you have hardly posted since he left and have only done so TWICE today to slate Adkins. Did he once **** you/your mother/sister and then dump you/her?

Good read. My Player of the Season so far, and I doubt that will change. Very happy he signed that new contract.

Yes his corners were shocking today. Yet, he also came the closest to scoring (again) and would have but for a fine save from Bunn.

No surprise to see you posting this. You were anti-Adkins from the start. After our first promotion under him you said he would take us down again and would get 'found out' by the more experienced managers. Yet, amazingly, he got us promoted again!!!!! Then, after a shaky start against most of the top teams with players finding their feet in the prem, he had us playing well when he was unfairly given the boot. So please excuse me if I completely disregard your inane drivel!!!!!

He hasn't done anything of merit on a football pitch this season, including at the ACoN.

I am as certain as I can be that we would now have more points on the board had we retained Nigel. Our performances in his last few games were great.

Pretty much agree with all of this, and especially the last sentence.​

Agreed.

Agree with almost all of this. We certainly dominated but our end product is non=existent, as you said. It is the final bit of that which makes me worried. We have gone from free scoring to not having a clue in front of goal; this, since MP came in. Luckily today we managed to keep a clean sheet - obviously, primarily due to a fantastic penalty save by Boruc - but also thanks to a couple of excellent bits of defensive work from Yoshida. All in all, I am not too unhappy about the draw as I expected us to lose this one - despite having predicted a draw (2-2 though) in the prediction league.

MoM until the pen save today, IMO!!
