  1. Based on what? Was he injured much at Hull? I don't recall much influence there.
  2. I think that could cause them problems . Brenda needs to play one or the other , if he tries to shoe horn both into the side , he'll end up with Courtino playing slightly different and the midfield unbalanced . The way he pandered to Stevie G I wonder if Brenda has the balls to leave one of them on the bench , and they both seem a bit egotistical .
  3. God , I'm counting down the days that Gaston finally slings his hook and minces about on somebody else's money. Somehow I doubt that'll be the end of it though , they'll be post after post remembering the " Villa game" and how he " undoubtably has talent" . The blokes a complete and utter waste of money . Tadic did more in the first 10 games of the season than Gastons done in his entire Southampton career. **** me he couldn't even get in the Hull side , some people need to let go and accept he's pony .
  4. Chambers hasn't got the pace to play FB long term in the modern game . He's got the makings of a centre half or a defensive midfielder , but he needed to learn his trade at a mid table club . Arsenals great for a Walcott , Lallana type player but even decent centre halfs struggle with Wengers set up. It's the wrong club at the wrong time .
  5. How many goals have we scored from his " brilliant " set pieces . Another myth .
  6. Exactly , and Tadic . What exactly does JWP do , the blokes a myth .
  7. If JWP is a England star of the future, god help us . Waste of time bringing him on .
  8. I agree , I thought the ref was excellent thurs . No nonsense , no chucking cards about left right and centre , and good use of advantage rules . He seemed to lack the arrogance of our home officials .
  9. Hasn't he played in this " tarts legs " of a midfield?
  10. The Jeff mostyn love in on sky is a bit OTT. Why the **** is Soccer Saturday interviewing a chairman after the game ?
  11. Hockey , take note . This is the fundemental problem with Corbyn as leader that you can't seem to grasp . There was a threshold for a reason , the leader has to have the confidence of a significant % of mp's . All this lending of votes to " broaden the debate" is feeble minded in the extreme . Labour do broaden the debate by letting as many mp's on the ballot who reach that threshold , as opposed to the Tories who just send 2.
  12. It takes more votes on average to elect a Conservative MP than to elect a Labour MP. The system is weighted in favour of Labour.Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are over-represented when populations there are falling and parts of southern England are under-represented since its population is rising. Or do you want constituencies left as is for ever and ever? The 2015 election was fought on different boundaries than the 1979 election , every party signs up for boundary changes , but I guess it's only the Tories that gerrymander it is it? Although at the end of the day it was in their manifesto , therefore they have a mandate to go ahead with it.
  13. I think the biggest difference is the full backs . Targett doesn't get forward like RB does and Cedric , who looked great going forward in the first game , has been exposed since . if Cedric settles in and RB comes back OK, that'll make a hell of a difference . José seems to be on a wobble, but we know he can do it. Once Romeu is up to speed protecting the back four the full backs can push on and we'll be fine.
  14. I was in Malaga this summer and the locals love him. Taxi drivers, bar men and guys working in the hotel who followed football all raved about him. Spoke to a couple of expats who have S/T at Malaga , they said he's very talented and IF he can cope physically with the premier league will be a gem.
  15. Complete and utter rubbish . The boundary changes aren't " designed to enhance the Tory marginals " .
  16. The full backs just didn't cut it, the past couple of season tour width has come from there . Targett & Maya just don't give us that . The whole build up is too pedestrian and obvious. Victors passing is shocking , sub standard and mane disappears for spells of the game. We were totally dominating when we scored , but seemed to get sloppy , we then just knocked it too long over and over again . Wtf is JWP all about ? What's his job , to run around nearly making tackles, nearly completing passes and nearly influencing the game . What is he , this isn't the NFL with special teams . Steve D is a far superior player . JWP is becoming a myth , young players are inconsistent , brilliant one miniute , average the next . When's he ever played well, when have we ever walked out excited by his performance , it's all hype . Long ran around like a headless chicken , giving away petty fouls that enabled them to waste time . Give ****ing Juanmai ( or whatever his name is) a decent run . I think Caulker will be ok , don't understand the moaning about him .
  17. Why did he deny it then? If there's nothing wrong with it, why did he try to claim he'd never heard of the bloke?
  18. It depends on the player. Some are professional enough to get on with it and play, Morgan, Stones , but can you honestly see Mane being like that . Or will he sulk, cause issues and pick up " injuries" every other game? I'm sure Ron will be pragmatic and les will back him.
  19. It would do if they had 3-5 players that champions league clubs wanted.
  20. I'd rather they chucked Wilson in as part of any deal.
  21. When are some people going to get their heads around modern football and stop this constant whining over transfers. It is going to keep happening ,clubs are allowed to be interested in our players, every single player will want to move if a bigger club comes in and , more importantly, the board, Ron,Les,The Tea lady, uncle tom cobbly and all at club, do not want it to happen. It is not their fault, it is not part of our business model to sell players, stop blaming them. The powers that be have been very smart and employed a manager who comes from a country & culture where this happens and people just get on with it. No throwing their toys out of pram like some English managers do , just move on and get on with it. I suggest some of ours supporters adopt the same attitude instead of crying about it every time a player is linked with a move away.
  22. The difference between the election of IDS & Corbyn is that IDS got enough legitimate mp votes to go forward to the party membership . Corbyn didn't , but for some bizarre reason he was " lent " votes . What bunch of ****ing half wits decided that was a good idea? The reason labour people didn't sign up to vote in IDS wasn't because they're principled and would do such a thing , it was probably because the Tories being slightly more competent , didn't let any tom , **** or Harry pay £3 to " join". Another great idea from the team wanting to run the country , I wouldn't let them run a bath , let alone the country . What makes me laugh is for all the pleas from the labour Establishment for all the horror and pain they're going through , it's all their own fault . Burnham, Kendall & Cooper should be the contest , nobody in the real world would not vote labour in 2020 because Corbyn wasn't on the ballot 5 years earlier, but plenty will if he's leader. It's the political version of shooting yourself in the foot, then reloading and shooting the other foot .
  23. But PMQ's is not an oxford debate or even a TV debate , it's purely and simply a chance to get a decent sound bite on the 6pm news and to rally your mp's . Cameron will have mountains of sound bites , quotes from corbyns past and other stuff like return of clause 4 , add to that the fact that maybe a dozen high profile mp's would refuse to serve in his shadow cabinet Cameron will have a field day . There is no way people like Chucka, Alan Johnson , hunt or even Harperson will be seen cheering Jezza on or even touring the studios spinning for him . When most people watch the news , who are they going to see cheering Corbyn on , Abbott and other assorted leftie nutters . Add to that people like Galloway coming back into the fold, it'll be a disaster however well he does at pmqs. A lot of politics is perception rather than any sort of facts . Corbyn and Watson would be an absolute car crash with the swing seats they need to win.
  24. I don't get this +Arnhem game criteria . The game was bang in the middle of holiday season , there were clearly going to be people who couldn't attend. You could have been to every away game last season , been in Greece or Turkey for the first game and bang goes your priority for future Europa League games . No wonder people passed on tickets to mates or paid but never attended , what else were we expected to do . Yes , I was one of them . I did 10 aways last season but was on holiday for the game . I was not going to miss the opportunity of future Europa league games by " doing the right thing" and not buying one . I passed my ticket on to my brother in laws mate who did 0 aways last year, he got a ticket that somebody with 5 or 6 aways should have got. Had the first game not been pivotal to future Europa league games I doubt I'd have bothered to get one .
  25. I read the other day that Michael Foot was convinced the polls were wrong in '83. The reason being that his meetings were packed out, and everywhere he went he was greeted with enthusiastic crowds . The same thing is happening here , Corbyn is extremely popular with a large minority of the country and a majority of labour activists .The problem is under first past the post being extremely popular with even 30% of the electorate will not translate into the seats they need . Apart from Scotland where else are they going to gain seats ? Even if they won every single Sweaty seat, they're still short of a majority . Where are they going to take seats off the Tories with Corbyn in charge? Corbyn is far more popular with the grassroots of his party and nearer to their politics than Cameron is to his, but elections aren't won like that . Until the electrol system is changed electing someone like Corbyn is just plain barmy .
