Media training has a lot to answer for.

Ha I was going to say...

You have a son called Klein? Unusual name.

I don't think the Echo should be banned. Quite happy for the News to be banned though.

Are people more interested in Wednesdays international now?
hypochondriac replied to ozzmeister's topic in The Saints
Of course everyone will be more interested. I probably would have watched anyway but now I will definitely watch. -
Anyone Remember Essruu & Friends Road Trip To Dagenham?
hypochondriac replied to TijuanaTim's topic in The Saints
I loved that website. Provided much laughter back in the day. B-anter too -
Normally I would criticise SFC for this but in the case of Neil and the News it is a stance I heartily endorse.

Well wrensup has said it now.

Didn't see that Roma wanted him to come here a month ago?
-
Obviously not on a public forum.
-
It sounds like Roma want him to come here but he doesn't want to. Therefore he probably won't.
-
I've heard who it could be. Shocking and very sad if so
-
In fairness you did say that and copped a fair bit of abuse...
-
I didn't say that at all. I said he will cost us games which IMO he will.
-
It's the best show on telly. Awesome episode.
-
If we don't get a replacement for Shaw and Luke is out for a while then it will cost us games.

Maybe instead of the black power fist they can go all limp wristed and mince up to the podium.

What symbol do you have in mind?

What other way is there in humans?

Russia always go against what is natural. I mean the birds do it and everything.

So the gays should help to look after their sibling's children?

Why? He is extremely lucky but he didn't force anyone to give him a contract.

Q1: What were your opinions of your first season back in the Premier League? Very satisfied. We had a terribly difficult start and it took us a while to adjust but we pulled off a few shocks once we got going. Sad to see Adkins go midway through the season but we seemed to become a bit more ruthless. Lost our way a bit towards the end once safety was almost concerned so will be interesting to see how we start and if Pochettino has a plan B if our pressing game fails us. Q2: What are your expectations for the upcoming season At the moment I would expect a mid table finish and would be happy to be safe from relegation for the season. If we do manage to get a striker and maybe a left back and wide man then I would expect something a bit higher (maybe 8th) Q3: What are you expecting from West Brom this season? If I'm honest I would expect you to do worse than last year. Losing Lukaku must be a big blow even if you didn't expect to keep him and lots of other teams have strengthened significantly from last year and your manager may have a touch of the second season syndrome. I think the league in general will be harder so I think West Brom may be lower mid table. Q4: Happy with the clubs transfer business so far Pretty pleased. I'm glad we got the two players we have. Lovren seems pretty good and will definitely be an upgrade in a position which was our weakest area last year. Wanyama looks very exciting and to be honest could easily have signed for a top team. I think he will be very impressive this year. Our most important business this summer has been to sign up all our decent players on long term contracts. We wouldn't have been able to sign anyone as impressive as the likes of Shaw and Schneiderlin. Q5: What other positions need adding to before the close of the transfer window? I'm a bit disappointed we haven't strengthened up front yet (although there is still time) and I don't want us to rely on Danny Fox at left back, especially since Shaw was injured yesterday. In a perfect world I would like a striker, a LB who can play CB if needed and a wide man to compete with Puncheon. I expect we will get a striker though and that will be it. Q6: Favourite memories of games against West Brom? The year in the championship where we drew with you away and stayed up on the last day against Sheffield United. Lallana scoring in the last few minutes was a great highlight and I went mental and bruised my shin. Q7: Worst memories of games against West Brom? Probably last year. We were extremely poor and Lukaku kicked our butt. Q8: The previous game between the sides finished 0-3. What were your opinions on this game? That we were very poor and switched off. Oh and Lukaku is awesome Q9: And finally, score predictions Historically we aren't great on the first day. I reckon 2-2 seems fair. Thank you to those which take part and I wish those traveling to the Hawthorns on Saturday a very safe journey.

I expect the Olympic values have something to do with it. Not that I agree with Fry's call for a boycott anyway.
