Could be. Schmidt would be great but I think he'll see us a sideways move - he's destined for the top. Yakin would he risky. My money's still on Paco. He's the new Poch.

Thanks, good watch.

That's where my monies going. Poch 2 IMO.

Man Utd have more wealth but look at the ffp caps. Spurs can pretty much pay what they want. They're a smaller club but if they win the league they'll have the clout to pull in the big boys.

Sure does. So calm, fantastic timing and good in the tackle. It'd be nice to bring a centre half through, been a while.

Nah. Lallana as a youngster stood out as an obvious future England player. I saw him at St Mary's against West Ham reserves when he was 17 or so create about a dozen goal scoring chances. Hesketh is capable but for me an obvious league 1 (poss championship if he knuckles down) player.

Good performance on the while. Gardos looked solid, young Jones very good as was Gallagher, Hesketh and Gape. JWP worked hard as did Reed but they didn't stand out. Targett looked awful at times although he put in some nice corners.

Interesting that his brother has a different take on it!

Not sure where you heard this. RK rates him. He didn't want to loan him to Hull last season.

Better than me! Not a thing today. Will sit out tomorrow and see what I can salvage on Friday.

I had Altior and Douvan yesterday. Tough picks today. Felix Younger yonger ew in the 330 looks interesting as does Hunters Hoof in the 250.

Crying?! Behave. A few people have merely pointed out that because of the behaviour of these idiots it's no surprise that they got banned. I'm surprised that you and a few others seem to think that their behaviour was acceptable. Each to their own.

There's no bedwetting mate. I just think it's ridiculous that people think that someone has been hard done by for getting a football banning order for throwing tables and chairs around at an away football match. Sure they came under attack and sure they were entitled to use reasonable self defence. What they weren't entitled to do is go ott. The did and that's why they were banned.

I think most people would but I doubt they'd throw tables and chairs at them. If that's what these guys did they can't complain.

Indeed. I get the need to protect yourself, but throwing chairs and tables obviously goes beyond what's reasonable. If that's what these lads did I don't understand the issue.

I've read this thread and read the UI page. I'm just about persuaded that the saints boys came under attack from punches etc. They were entitled to defend themselves. That defence should have been reasonable, ie punching etc back. As is often the case was the issue here that the self defence was not reasonable? I'm struggling to see how throwing tables and chairs around was reasonable self defence. If that's what they did they can't complain imo.

Cracking pub. Lovely food too. They do a weekend dog walk. Meet at pub for brekkie, walk then back to pub.

Nice thought, but the reality is we waved the cash. The deal including transfer fee, wages, agents, signing on fee, caulker release is £20m+ We punch above our weight in the transfer market (Gaston, Osvaldo, Van Dijk, Forster, Austin). These players don't come here for the sea air.

I suspect that Leicester have room in their ffp allowance for one or two players on 4 mil a year. Our wage cap is not 2.5 mil a year. We pay well - Austin would have waited until he was a free agent if we weren't very very competitive.

Fair points Del, but the issue here was about the bigger picture. The fans protested. The club listened, and did so quickly and respectfully.

The white horse hotel in Romsey serves a cracking breakfast in a lovely traditional hotel. Bloody pricey but superb. Hallidays tea rooms in Bedford place do an amazing brekkie but I think they're shut on Monday. The service is brilliant too and they make a real effort. Sadly there's not one proper cafe that I can think of that does a decent breakfast, unless you want to slum it at selco! Brilliant brekkie in there but I doubt the yanks will be impressed with breakfast above a builders merchants! Double everything (decent quality too), plus black pud, tea and toast for four and half quid. I've always been a fan of the breakfast at Santo lounge, plus their other ones at ocean village and portswood. Less poncey then the white horse and Hallidays.

Another vote for kefalonia or skiathos. Both excellent. Agree with the comments re santorini, lovely island but just too developed now. Avoid any within dinghy distance of Turkey for obvious reasons.

Do you have a room thermostat? If so you can just swap that out for a digital programmable room thermostat. If you haven't then you need the on boiler programmer. Ideal do one for most of their range.

The posts on this thread prove Del's point. The forum is let down by a bunch of idiots who have too much time on their hands and use it posting post after post of predictable sh¡te. For them it's probably the main excitement in their world, for others it's ****!ng dull.

To be fair he is a young under 21. However, a year or so ago the club saw him as the next to roll off the production line but he just hasn't kicked on. He may come good but a talented under 21 should look good at home to Huddersfield! Ditto Hesketh. I don't want to sound like ART but I do wander what's amiss. Fundamentally there is definitely a lack of talent in this group of players, but coaching and/or man managemnet/motivation seems to be lacking as well.
