This forum. Charles gets nothing like the flak that Smallbone does, despite contributing a hell of a lot less.

Agreed that he needs a holding player alongside him, and Downes is the best we've got. It's a shame that Charles has flattered to deceive as, on paper, he'd be a great pairing with Smallbone. On that, I find it surprising that Smallbone gets so much flak but that Charles gets an easy ride despite costing a fortune.

My only real criticism of the lad is that he's not great at playing on the half turn which really slows us down. I like that he gets into good positions, that he uses the ball well, that he makes good runs. He's definitely not a holding midfielder, but I like that he'll do a job for the team. There's loads of people who don't understand the game who can't recognise what he does well, but jump all over him for what he doesn't. I met one bloke yesterday who thought he was atrocious at the weekend. I asked if he didn't like the 2 x assists, but apparently they don't count as everything else was apparently shit! Bless. I like the lad. A bit to work on still, but there's a player there.

And some people tell us he's a better option than Manning. The kid is a mile away from being ready.

Just coming in on this. Meghoma isn't a credible option, yet. Bree has been injured, and is coming back. Manning is the only option. Manning being out of position by taking corners on the wrong side is plainly on RM. Manning tucking in is also on RM. He did it in his first friendly game and has done it since. I agree though that he's not good enough defensively.

I'm not that a case can't be made linking who's getting the votes with the method. That said, I share your view that postal voting should be discouraged unless absolutely necessary. People should get to the polling station (and give ID) imo.

They voted for a principle in a protest vote, not the personality fronting it.

Ha!! I'm not sure that outcome would have been much different in a town with a lower Muslim demographic - that's a vote that's in step with the feelings of the masses imo.

Trucks escaping Israeli gunfire?

Agreed...but we'd have said otherwise if we'd won and not had any injuries.

Fuck me. That Adams throw says it all.

How is that goal on Manning? Danns was lost between THB and Stephens.

The commentator thinks he's Edozie! I wish he was right.

Charles. Hard to believe we paid all that money for that.

Not sure what game you're watching mate. He's had sully for cover, and had to step into the middle cos Charles is half asleep. Done well.

Yep. His tracking has been brilliant.

Why? Manning has had a good game.

If anyone again asks why RM doesn't trust him, and why he trusts Stephens, this half answers the question.

It was mentioned ages ago mate. All confirmed https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/saints-sign-ussumane-djalo-on-youth-loan

Lumpy gravy. No excuses. Sieve it if you must, but don't serve it with lumps.

Yep. Their kids will press us all over the pitch and kill us with pace. Could be a very long night I think.

I don't think it would have been much different. I think the only real difference would have been if the US had put a hand on their shoulders early on. Conversely, and reverting to the Britain/Ireland/NI point, I'm not sure how that would have gone had the US not been supportive of Ireland.

Your post that I labelled idiotic followed you casting aspersions on people for mentioning both sides of the debate in the same breath. Your opinion is wrong, yet you state it as a fact and disrespect people in the process. When you're disrespectful, don't complain when you get a bit back.

Your posts are littered with your opinions of people who don't agree with you. Glass houses etc.
