Most premier players can't kick at all with their other foot. Takes bugger all to be a professional footballer these days...

Precisely. We actually shipped some goals that were VVD s fault. Like so many players they get much better when they are not playing... He really isn't as good as the hype!

Just stop driveline on and on comparing the man in the street's wages with a premiership player it is clearly totally no comparison and not a relevant analogy in any way. Just stop it.....

You cannot compare a 'Normal' persons job with a Premier League players wages so the analogy just isn't at all justified.

Loving this post..... How did such a self loving conceited footballer become our captain ??? Tough decision for the board but they must stick to their guns and sell for their valuation. Come January clubs will be queuing up to the Bargate to pay the full valuation. Meanwhile let him stew ... Double training at a the Veracity green every day should bring him down a peg or two!

Talk Spirt are losing thousands of listeners every week... People are sick of the insesent drivel based around the big six all day. It's boring.... As for the presenters - well the IQ test doesn't accommodate such an intelligence level...

We really really do

Did I at any stage mention 'glamour' ???? No! Half a dozen games is not enough snd two of those games were against virtual pub teams... We are a proffessional club and three or four games preparation is not enough. The evidence for this is there for all to see with multiple teams and formations right up to one game to play before the real thing.... Are the first eleven going to be prepared? No they are not... The pre season has been inadequate....

Yes and this highlights the huge massive indisputable issue which repeats every year! Our pre season lack of games and lack of decent opposition also... This happens every year and it's laughable now... Yet again we are not prepared.. wth!

How do you work that out??? Secret meetings don't own contracts - Saints do. We have the last word on who or if we sell to.

Good points actually

True. These days you have to have numbers in midfield. Puel tried two up top later stages of several games - we then completely capitulated in midfield and lost control of the ball from then on. It can't be done and particularly with this squad....

No point in discussing one outfield player the problem is bigger than that....Pardon the pun !!!!

Having watched last night and several videos of pre season Saints in your. Apart from anything else - and there are lots is issues; the players look far too comfortable and 'relaxed' The pace and movement is too slow and the aggression is rather errrr pink! They deserve a rocket up their ass and double training until an improvement is seen. As for FF the fact we still evidently have no alternative to him is criminal, his 'coach' (what the hell does he do all day) should be given his cards, it's a joke that he is still getting away with FFs performances. Sorry bit of a moan but really, we are just coasting to mediocrity....

Should be our first choice now!!!

Yes results can be brushed under the carpet ( at your peril ) however the performance, playing style, tactics and organisation were absolutely woeful. What on earth we have been working on in training I dread to think ! When the player receiving the ball instantly has no one from his team with 20 yards of him literally all the time you have a huge problem. You can say 'it's just a friendly' but if it ain't all right on the night don't be surprised. Complacency will potentially make things worse... Bury your head in the sand if you like but that was seriously awful .....

Too right... So what is this method we are playing. The movement and support for the player on the ball is at a minus level! What does that do? It gives the player on the ball no one to pass to.....which leads to? Errors..... When a player receives the ball there is no one anywhere near him. Such basic stuff and one wonders what all this training has been about....

I think you will that statistics prove you wrong.....

Precisely and look where it has taken us..... I rest my case ma lord ...

Easy to say, however what you forget is this.... We will set a potentially very damaging president by letting a striking player get his way. This open up a gateway for any other player to do exactly the same. This casual regard to player power could cost us very dearly indeed in future so be very careful when you offer flippant solutions....

Whilst you have a point you your 'a' and 'b' in the wrong order just like LFC!

Not 'clueless' at all actually.....Odd thing to say given how poor Forster I undoubtedly was last year.

I actually did say that .....

Has anyone actually stopped to think that other clubs see him as not as good as his hype! Still worth 75m ( in the present market place) but not nearly as good as the papers and media would have him and Liverpool believe...

Well I'm not a fan of Les but on this he has played the cards exactly as I would have wanted him to. Fair play to Les this time - so far...
