You're telling me that penalty against Chelsea wasn't a debatable decison?!!! Yes they would be, if we'd had 4 pens go against us in 11 games and 3 of them were 50/50 and one was blantently not a penalty then the referees and everyone else would be being lamblasted by people on here. YOu can be sure Pochetino wouldn't be labelled the new Ian Holloway or a whinger looking for excuses because his team are underachieving!

Would you now. I disagree, they aren't slow by any means, in fact they are fairly quick, but they aren't players like Aaron Lennon, Theo Walcott and so on whose main attritube and what you associate them with is pace. THey are very clever and skillful players who have an end product so it's their craft and guile that make them the players they are as well as being quick, they dont fit the tag of the "pacy wideman" which was the orginal point i was making and the type of player that is so often demanded on here and England teams seem to love. A 1990's type wideman in a 4-4-2 who will sprint to the byline and get crosses into the mixer for the big lump of a centre forward, pace but little else. Inital thoughts on Zaha from what i've seen so far is that he is another one like this, maybe he'll come good but i've seen nothing to suggest that he has anywhere near the attributes of Ribery and Robben. None of the top teams play with these sort of player anymore.

we are a massive game these days Stevey.

Football has changed since Giggs prime when it was 4-4-2, would you say he was a pacy wide man now? You wouldnt' describe Bale or Ronaldo as a "pacy wide man" in the traditional winger sense, both of them tend to roam wherever they want to in free roles now. Theo is on record as saying he'd rather play up front than on out wide. I wouldn't say Ribery or Robben, great players they are, are renowned for their pace, would you? Indeed, the club you support doesn't play with any pacy wingers, maybe our style is behind the times too?? So other than being inaccurate about every player you've mentioned and dismissing your own clubs formation and tactics your post was excellent.

not sure why they've put them up for sale like that as we probably wont take more than 1500. looking forward to it though.

So just to confirm, all that stuff spouted on here from about 6 months months ago and previous to that about Roy Hodgson and the FA ignoring Saints players and only selecting players from the big clubs was a load of bol*ocks then?
-
You can be sure that if we had had 4 debatable penalties given against us in 11 games you lot would be demanding answers from the FA too.

He also missed Doncaster away and we were awful for the same reasons. He missed a few games at the start of our l1 promotion season and we wasn't really properly fit for a couple of months.

I didn't realise there was a transfer system In place for football chairmen.

The sooner English football gets rid of the obsession with 'pacy wide man' the better.
-
There was some bloke on there call Ottawaswan who was quite literally obsessed with them and namechecking S****ish and Barry Swanchez even when they were nothing to do with the thread. It was odd.

I'll be upgrading mine next year and really tempted by an A5, love them. Can pick up a one year old TDI diesel with under 10k on the clock for less than £22k from Audi.

I had a look the other day and the wierdest poster of all was one called The_Vetch_Days. Seemed like he was claiming to be some war hero bet everyone took the p*ss out of him for really being a chef.

Swanseas mongboard might be worth a gander too. I'm sure they are all still moaning about how winning the league cup last season cost them champions league football.
-
He should have got twice as many caps as he did, a brilliant player.
-
But settling for 11th, yes ?
-
You're obsessed with me, yet another name check and yet another wrong claim. What I said it was deluded to think the team which was 4 points above the relegation zone, like ours was in April, was good enough for 6th with no addition, which was what you claimed. As usual I've been proven right.

Todays Saints related orgasm from the Daily Mail
Turkish replied to dubai_phil's topic in The Saints
and to think it wasn't that long ago lots on here claimed we didn't need the media or want their attention. Guess we do now right? -
With the news that Hull city will shortly be changing their name to Hull tigers, what would your view be if Corteee changed our name to Southampton saints or similar? Heard loads of arguments for and against on relation to hull ranging from it does mater it's only a name, the owners can what they like and of course 'outrage' from some fans. What is the view on here if it happened to us?

He's very short. Nicky Cs brother?

Got a 320d. Pros are many, comfortable, great to drive, fairly economical, 45MPG for an automatic, done 40k in it and service costs have been 2 services and a new set of brake pads plus a new set of tyres so pretty good. The only con is that its rear drive and useless in the snow.
