A lot of sense in this post. However you did leave Rooney out of your changes.... Rooney has been pretty dreadful now for a couple of years both in the England team and for his club. He is immobile and can't even control the ball when it's passed to him... His time is over too... For Woy to pick the same team again after Italy was clearly a really por decision. ( yes. I know we played Rooney in the middle this time). We were not that good against Italy for. Christ sake! While Im at it the complete media cocktail party over Sterling is mental. He runs around in circles up blind alleys with no end product! Put someone in charge who can really rocognise the problems, and players who are actually good enough. Someone who will not let the media love in brigade pick the team! My man is Hoddle who has been the only pundit to talk about the structure of the matches and talk sense about the personnel.

'Football People' need to wake up and smell the coffee. The do called experts all cozy round eachother and agree with each other whilst missing completely the detail .... For the first goal Johnson was at fault for listing his man and then not closing him down . Two glaring mistakes. This allowed the left sided Uruguay player to cross into Suarez for the first goal. Johnson is clearly not good enough at this level, however because he plays for Liverpool that does not matter! Henderson is at the very very best ordinary. Sterling was actually poor against Italy but his performance was completely over hyped. He runs into blind alleys continuously and has little end product. Welbeck has little football brain and whilst he is not as bad as those previously mentioned he is not able to make things happen at this level. Rooney is past it. Been living in hype for a couple of years now! We need people who are able to see a game intimately not in a populist way but honestly and objectively with an open mind that is not clouded by big reputations and which clubs they belong to.

£60 will get you a lot more than a taster session at a club round here. I think Grafham is one of those clubs run as a profit making company. Have raced there several times and it's run in a different basis to member run clubs I think I am right in saying....

Where do you live Doctor ? Been sailing all my life mostly racing. Loads of local clubs run great courses for very little money and certainly my club offer a cheap first years subs if you take part in a course.... Anything from beginner to learn to race..... Very family orientated but you can get serious too if you want to... I mostly sail dinghies by the way.

The Echo - how much lower can they stoop?
captainchris replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
A poor paper these days with terrible editing. They insist on writing an article which is a total mystery until you get to about half way down it too. A very irritating a childish attempt to keep you reading but actually bored the t--s off you... Also continually repeat the same stories twice in the same issue ... Was a tradition in our house for decades - don't buy it now... -
Liverpool FC. Is it time to stop any further deals?
captainchris replied to SaintRobbie's topic in The Saints
They did see us off good and proper with Fox though ! Bet they couldn't believe their luck ... -

Errrrrrrrr ?????? The tapping up ????? -
Appalling show of commitment from our players
captainchris replied to Unbelievable Jeff's topic in The Saints
Enhanced contracts should be conditional on repayment of increased salary if transfer requests are made before contract is up. These contracts are obviously so fragile they are practically worthless in terms of keeping players unless our club is firm in what a contract means. Doesn't help that we showed such weakness in the case of SRL. This has sent all the wrong messages out to both our players and prospective suitors.... Wake up Board and send out a defiant message! As this hadn't happened apart from a wooly 'the new manager will decide' up to now has brought about this mess. Completely blame the board for not informing it's employees of the plan and thereby ensuring a bright future for them.... The mess they have allowed to happen has left the top players insecure about the future - Why wouldn't they tout around their CVs it's entirely logical.... -
I wasn't there but agree from watching on the box. AL's position sense wasn't all that either..... He was often too far in advance of the ball when we were attacking giving no outlet to other midfielders... He was often right on the Honduras back four and so very closely marked as a consequence..... He's a very good player but needs to be much less advanced and engage with where he can be passed to more..... Particularly second half ALL was quite poor....

Chambers v Shaw - am I deluding myself...
captainchris replied to Legod Second Coming's topic in The Saints
Glad you would be happy - easily pleased are we? -
There must a hundred excuses why. Gaston has never been quite good enough and now we have another one. At least it wasn't the usual lack of games - because he wasn't quite good enough !

STATEMENT: Player interest & Rickie Lambert
captainchris replied to Saint Rees's topic in The Saints
If they did bid that they should be certified! If we get one bid let alone multiple bids for Jos we should take it...... If he had a boyhood club he supported perhaps worth a phone call :-))) -
Blackmore: Players angry with Board & Reed
captainchris replied to Saint Charlie's topic in The Saints
Reed is a totally inept liability to this club. Seems to have no use what he is doing at all .. His valuations are totally inept too.... A negotiator. !!!!!! ??? Do me a favour !!! -
You are dreaming if you think we can make so many changes and finish 8th next year... At this rate I would start dreaming about the Champioship the season after next...... Make no mistake this club is in major turmoil with nobody in control of a complete mess. Even the chairman doesn't know what is happening next! 8th was last year - it's this year you need to think about.... We are adrift in a storm with no captain at the helm and one by one the lifeboats are sinking.... I wouldn't put Kruger in charge of plastic duck in a bath frankly ..
-
The happy clappers do make me laugh .... 'Lets wait and see what happens' It is happening before your very eyes....
-
In which case why has his hockey past been lauded so much? Why not go and hire a captain if industry - like Cortese perhaps ?
-
So do Talk Sport ! Who can deny it though ?
-
What is the point of bringing on youngsters to sell??? What purpose does that serve? If your sole ambition is this then you will never have a sustainable team which will only lead to one conclusion ....

In Premier League terms 4m is peanuts . We have heavily relied on RL this year.... We now need not only to replace him but also recruit a sensible backup too. If we had two other viable replacements in the books fine but WE DONT! There is no way you can dress this atrocious decision up as anything but stupid.
-
'A loyalty bonus' !!!!!! FFS complete nonsense.... Sentimental clap trap....
-
Could you just add the chairman to that please....! Anyway we are aiming for European football so all is fine in our garden isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????
-
Oh yes she is. ....
-
Thrilled to be honest !!!!!! It's good to know we are on top Of the priorities....... This board are seriously deluded !!! We are in deep do da here. MP and SRL have made seriously wise decisions it seems to me..... This Ralph guy is such good news for 'The Saints' Let's be so happy we got him in....
-
For Christ sake - it's not about the money it's about selling off our players. You cannot pick £9m to play at centre forward....... Lambert has been priceless to us - who cares what the fee is for any of our players within reason.... We had a great opportunity to be a somebody in the Premier League and it's being thrown away!!! We will probably never have a chance like this again in a generation....... It stinks. You will not replace Lambert or three quarters of our squad with anyone even remotely as good..... This is beyond belief.....
