Guido Carrillo - Official: Free Transfer to Elche

Let’s see what an ex Barca, Man Utd & Bayern striker makes of him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Having watched football for so long. Has there ever been a semi final at a non neutral ground in the history of English or European football. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just shows how big a part luck plays. The Skates got Barnsley, WBA, Cardiff in their semi final draw, looks like we’re getting 3 of the top 5. Utd look the weakest of the 3 at the moment, but who knows come April. Just don’t want Spurs, losing at their home ground will grate for a while. Dream scenario would be Leicester to come back in their game, draw them, then Utd in final. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wigan 0 Saints 2 - Post Match Thread
Lord Duckhunter replied to Secret Site Agent's topic in The Saints
I thought the keeper played well, particularly first half. Very solid, probably have a couple more points if The Mummy was dropped earlier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
The Corbyn supporters seem to miss the point that Russia wanted to make it obvious they did it. They wanted to send out a message. Corbyn knows full well they did it, but his lifetime obsession with going against the West and siding with our opponents overrides anything. Had the suspicion been it was a Mossad operation, would Jezza be asking the same questions ? Course he wouldn’t. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know he’s a skate, but quite impressed with Cook. He seems a character & his side play some really good stuff Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
If you make genuine attempt at ball, it’s yellow. If there’s no attempt to play ball, it’s red Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Missed a sitter and now a pen, but I bet it’s Carrillo or Redmonds fault if we lose Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Now let’s see how much influence hughes has managed to input. Normally we’d sit back, hopefully we’ll go for a second Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Had that been Carrillo, this place would have been in meltdown, because it’s Gabbi, we have pony about good save. We should be 1-0 up, awful miss. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The FA won’t give a shiny shiete about fairness, all they’re interested in is £’s. They’re setting a precedent that will bite them in the arse. Chelsea are talking about playing at Wembley for 3 seasons, that’s an immense advantage in the cups. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Newsnight used the same background in a picture of Gavin Williamson a few weeks back. Don't recall little Owen Jones and the other lefties complaining about that. Funny enough neither did the Tories, they probably thought a grown up audience was perfectly capable of deciding it's just a ****ing picture not a political slur Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where was #blackbox in 2013 when he was tearing it up for Basel? Don't tell me, we had Adam Lallana so didn't need him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’ve picked up 1 more point than us over the past 6 games. Their last 2 games were both at home, to teams right in the relegation mix, they picked up 1 point and didn’t score in either. We have a game in hand on them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Swansea are in it as well Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Although it’ll be a blow going into the bottom 3, I think we need Huddersfield to lose. We’re more likely to catch them, than stay above Palace Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The public clearly disagree with Corbyn. Poll on sky tonight over who is doing a good job regarding Russia; May-61% think so. Steptoe-18% think so. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Funny how even Wee Krankie's foot soldiers and the mad Welsh bats lot were basically lining up behind the Govt and criticising Russia . Corbyn was isolated in the commons, with just a few soppy lefties thinking he acted properly . As a privy councillor he'll be fully aware of evidence not in the public arena. Russia left its finger prints all over this, but that's exactly what they wanted. How's Corbyn's performance this week going to play with floating voters? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mark Hughes: Season-by-season breakdown
Lord Duckhunter replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Why do people just make up nonsense statements that are easily dispelled in the age of the internet. “Best ever start to a season”. Pony. Third game of the season they were knocked out of the league cup at home to a championship side and the week after a convincing 2-0 win over us, they lost 6-0 at home. In 1982 they had the equivalent of 43 points the same stage of the season Silva left, Silva had 23. They were top of the league after 6 games, including beating us 4-1 away and Sunderland 8-0. Only in your head did he give them their best ever start to a season. Silva had 1 win in 11 games and left them 5 points above relegation prior to his departure. His win % was 30.8%, only just above Walter Mazzarri 29.27% but below Quique Sánchez Flores’ 36.6%, both of whom were considered failures. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Mark Hughes: Season-by-season breakdown
Lord Duckhunter replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Interesting, better record than I'd remembered. Blackburn particularly impressive, although he still had a fantastic playing career fresh in the players memories, not sure that applies now. Seems to have been around forever, but is still quite young. The question for me is does he still have that burning desire , does it still eat him up inside . Does he still feel he needs to prove himself , if so, he could do a better job than most people think. Here's hoping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
That’s pretty impressive if you’re not doing it full time. I know I had a downer on the vocals, but that was when I thought you were pros. The biggest thing I’ve noticed with amateur bands is the vocals are normally Shiite. I’ve seen so many decent bands ruined by a lousy singer. My Mrs is always rolling her eyes when I get on my high horse around vocalists. As I said, not my cup of tea, but better than 90% of amateurs I’ve heard. My mate is in his early 40’s and he plays in a band. He’s a language teacher but plays gigs at weekends. They’re good, they play approx 75% covers, 25% originals, but they cleverly slot the originals in. They never announce them (announcing your self penned song is the amateur equivalent of Paul McC announcing, “here’s one from my latest album”, it kills the vibe), they fit them between similar style covers, most people don’t realise they’re playing originals, they just assume they’re covers of songs they don’t know. This gives my mate more satisfaction as they’re not just a wedding/covers band, and he gets to showcase his stuff, even though most of the audience don’t realise. This could be a way for you to go. Get a band together, make some decent pocket money and get your music is out there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Depends on the contract. My understanding was that Poch had a release or break clause, whereas Koeman didn't . Therefore we pretty much had no choice with Poch. We had a choice with Koeman, but he only had a year left on his deal and had absolutely no intention of signing a new one. The options open to us were to be managed by someone who didn't want to be here, probably end up doing what Watford did to Silva, or get some compo. Did Watford do the right thing, they ended up without Silva and without any compo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
