Btw LDH does spout utter garbage re Brexit UKIP and the feckin Tories but his football posts are pretty much bang on.

Typical football forum reaction from club's entitled 'fans' who believe we should have put five past such bottom feeders as Hull. Just to point out, life doesn't work like that.

Absolutely. They'll bottle it anyway. Won't make Wembley according to some of their fans I know. They reckon they're in a false position and have got lucky all season. Pinching themselves that they are even in with a chance of promotion.

What the f%£k has got to do with you Glasgow? Saints fans getting the hump with a manager I can get, but you?

Nah it's melts/trolls/k-u-n-t-s like you that need to lie down. Washsaint, nail on head!

FFS!

Agree. I only work part-time Tuesday to Thursday.

I'm pretty much saying the same thing

As I say, fence sitter, not making a judgement at all. Can't, to be honest. I'm sure I put something about not lessening his immense contribution in my post. Anyway I agree with what you say, he was extremely gifted and would have won more England caps, but for 'Alf's Wingless Wonders'. Certainly a better crosser of a ball than anyone I've ever seen, a great dribbler, but more likely to open things up down the right wing through slick one-two's. The excitement at The Dell when he got free near the right corner flag was palpable because with big Ron in the middle Terry could be relied on to put it in an area which would lead to a chance or a goal.

I'm a bit of a fence sitter on this one. He was certainly my favourite player as a kid starting out watching Saints. Most of his 160 league goals were scored in Div 3 Sth, Div 3 and Div 2. Only scored 38 in Div 1 when he'd gone more to a midfielder and less of a winger. That said it doesn't lessen his immense contribution during the era he played. How he would have fared in the 1990s when MLT was at his peak is a moot point. His 161 top flight league goals in 444 games certainly gives him a better strike rate. Those of us who were around to see both play can count themselves very lucky indeed. Compare both to Mick Channon who as an out and out striker had a strike rate not dissimilar to MLT's but scored 55 goals over three seasons in Division 2 out of his 185.

Reading through this and the Post Brexit thread anyone would think that the pinkoes, lefties, snowflakes and libtards are pond life lower down the scale of social acceptability than kiddie fiddlers, and there was I heartened by reading an article in that oh so biased bastion of pinkoes, lefties, snowflakes and libtards ; The Guardian that the socio-political divisions within our society are far less than those at either extreme would have us believe.

Less sheeite posted on here!

Funny how all the knts are out in force after a defeat

Begs the question, why is he back?

Mouthbreathers just don't get it though!

Who were you posting as at the time?

Munch, munch, chomp chomp! Feed the troll and he will score!

No career ended there and then, but that hit defined Taylor's career. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/17/AR2005111701635_2.html

Hmmm! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/apr/13/european-couple-stunned-as-uk-born-children-denied-residency?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+main+NEW+H+categories&utm_term=221737&subid=18430495&CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2

Keep losing the bandanas and buffs so have a lightweight cheapo summer skully. The pink patches were more a product of a few years back when i didn't know of such things. It also can provide protection from that moment when a wasp gets in your helmet, if you'll excuse the expression. Had that happen on a sportive a few years back on a steep and rapid descent.

It's my head I have to worry about. Odd pink patches if I don'/t wear a summer skull cap. Legs and arms OK.

Keep VVD for a season and bingo, a natural successor.

From what I've read JWP is an intelligent guy. Son of a barrister, albeit a Skate, I believe he was clever enough for a top Uni place. This isn't the norm with footballers and may explain why it has taken him a little longer to get where he is. Very good player now and will only get better.

Heard this, but just think that injury has set him back. Mourinho is a self centred p-r-i-c-k which does Shaw no favours. Injury was about as bad as it can get. not quite on the Dave Buust level but think Lawrence Taylor on Joe Theismann and you begin to get the picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mznBvAGScdg

As ever on the footy bit of SWF, to the point, and very probably bang on. Shaw will end up in London I expect , possibly back with Pochettino. The fact he left three years ago tells you all you need to know about his attachment to the club.
