That’s okay though bro as millions of people will be sitting in their arm chairs enjoying the soccerball match on their TVs. Only idiots go Games these days

A very apt analogy whitey as the great Ralph Kruger said we are a club built on faith from the beginning! im sure as a religious country there will be quite a few Bible Belt fans who resonate with us particularly as the Saints, it’s not just a name It’s who we are! let’s try with all our might to stay on the wonderful English premier soccerball league

Hopefully they get a goal decision delayed by VAR to increase the tension!!

Yep that’s exactly what it is. The 30/30 challenges are brilliant but so simple.

That’s where we teach, every thing is done with both feet. Hundreds if not thousands of touches per session inside, outside, lace, sole and both feet. People take the piss out or repetition and keep ups they moan it’s boring but it’s like anything with muscle memory, if you can do 100 keep ups with your weaker and stronger foot you’ll have a first touch better than 95% of the people in the world

Yes it’s true statistically if you’re born September-November you’ve got a far higher chance of making it in professional sport than late birth rates. Crazy really when you think kids born in August get overlooked because they were born a week too early. And they do I’ve seen it

U12s

That's actually a very good idea and has been muted on various coaching groups im a member of. At the moment kids can play a year up but not a year down. That's fine for bigger kids but we've got one kid in our team who was born on the 28th of August so is regularly playing kids almost a year older which is a huge difference when you're 10 and 11 in so many nows. Now at U12s some of them look 4-5 years older. My lad is very good technically and was way ahead of most at U9s and 10 now he's now 11 will be 12 in April and the second smallest the team he is the weight of an average 9 year old and the height of a short 10 year old, so he's going up against kids regularly who are much, much bigger stronger and quicker now. The difference a year between U11s and U12s makes is startling. It'll probably do him good long term when he grows being used to playing bigger kids but frustrating for him now. Strangely for me i was the total opposite, i was the biggest kid in the school at 11 and 12 looked 16 so was one of the stars of the team, but by the time we got to 14-15 everything had changed and being able to stroll through games without trying and still be the best player was a massive shock

Then you’ll have these little shits sniffing round them, god knows what I’d be like if I had a daughters I’m bad enough with a boy 🤣

Just revisiting this I’m sure there are a few other coaches of kids teams here and it’s quite sad to see that despite all the coaching and protocols out there now in grassroots football teams are still dominated by the big physical kids. It’s really noticeable now at u12s and u13s that a lot of the smaller more skillful kids are struggling to adapt to bigger pitches and 11 a side whilst the kids who have already hit puberty and are in some cases a foot taller and 10-15 kilos heavier despite not having the technical ability so stronger and quicker are now dominating matches. Inevitable I guess as for many clubs there is still the win at all costs ethos. We played a team Sunday which ended in a 3-3 draw, we take a squad of 11 every week and make sure everyone gets 45 minutes the other team full of big strong kids with 4 subs they didn’t make a sub until 48 mins and two kids only got 3 minutes. They looked decent to me too but surprise surprise they were the smallest kids. how are they meant to develop when they’re getting 3 minutes game time because the coach is focusing on winning rather than developing the kids. Kids like this will lose a year or two maybe quit all together despite having ability, who is going to want to stand on the touch line for 50 minutes every week only coming on for a token few minutes or when they’re already 3 or 4 nil up?

No thought to the fans? There are millions of TV fans round the world who are going to love a 7pm Sunday. Stop thinking of yourself Suzy.

Hey this is truly great news! Our home tie v Tottenham Spurs moved to 7pm sunday in the English Soccerball league is a fantastic way to increase our worldwide exposure thus growing our US fanbase. The game will be screened live to the US of A whilst those on the east side will be able drink buds whilst tucking into their 45 oz burger and fries meanwhile on the west coast the Premier league soccerball fans can watch along whilst tucking into their maple syrup pancakes at brunch. They can watch us take on the mighty Spurs and hopefully make it an interesting tie in match week 12! Maybe we can score a goal or two and show the Tottenham spurs we will not just except our defeat lying down!! Come on the Southampton Saints!!!!

He's absolute cock. I remember he described himself as the cooking womens crumpet a while back. Who says stuff like that?? He seems to have made a career out of speaking slowly and loudly. What about the strictly stuff that they're trying to pass off as an joke, blatantly the perv has gone in for a feel and she's stopped him now they're trying to make out it was all a bit of fun. If it was a joke it weren't a funny one.

Yep it's a common mistake people make. Do some exercise and think they've earnt a treat. Calories burnt not really accurate and you do hear people saying all the time they've burnt xxxx amount of calories today. Then that all depends on your body compositions, a 100kg bloke will burn a lot more calories doing an half an hour of running than a 60kg woman but you're still only talking 250-400 in half an hour, which is then whipped out by having a beer and a packet of crisps. I've learnt from doing a lot of research and making a lot of mistakes that most diets are bollocks they will work short term but not sustainable and not enjoyable. Keto is great short term but imagine doing it for the rest of your life and never being able to have a sandwich again or a bowl of pasta. the best way to do it is eat healthy 90% of the time, you can have a treat a few times a week but not everyday. Health means ignoring "health foods" and sticking to meat, fish and veg. keep your protein high as that fills you for longer, and train for progress & performance not weight loss. That's the difference between training and exercise for me, follow a plan, track your progress and try to improve each month, dont just go there and spend 30 mins on the exercise bike so you've burnt 300 calories like loads of people do. If every month you're getting fitter and stronger (which is why i track everything) whilst eating well most of the time then the rest will fall into place.

Mrs Browns boys. It seems like “clumsy language” is spreading https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1961919/mrs-browns-boys-brendan-ocarroll-apology-bbc

Never seen a better right back since alfonso Davies

What a player he is one of the greatest player who ever lived.

I’ve had it a couple of times but not for 4 or 5 years now but then I’ve improved my diet and cut down massively on booze so can’t be a coincidence. My bro in law gets it all the time despite being on medication for it. Beer is meant to be one of the worst things to set it off

Do many of you lot get gout? This thread is gout in a bottle

He's been a relative success at Middlesbrough, remember Rasmus likes managers who have failed.

back in two weeks, yes?

Just remember failure somewhere else - it's a good thing. #thegoldmineeffect #crackingthecodeofhighperformance #ifitaintbrokenbreakit

He is over rated beyond belief and i dont really understand why. He was utter shite in midfield during the Euros. He's a decent but not great right back but frequently gets exposed defensively against decent teams. He's got quality on the ball but they are frothing at the gash about him every time he does anything with it. He is a rich mans Jack Stephens, some people seem to think he has to play somewhere but no one can tell you where that should be or what he actually brings to that role.

lol. Southgate is too defensive, Southgate needs to play our attacking players and fit them all into a system. Kane is past it and slows us down Carsley picks all the attacking players and no Kane. You can say what you like about Southgate but at least he picked a balanced side 🤣
