    He was a throw of the dice. I can sort of see the logic. We sacked Martin too late, so wanted to try something completely different as a Hail Mary. After a couple of games I think he realised what a bunch of pansies some of the players were and lost heart.
  10. Sounds like my 1990. Wall charts, books, sticker albums, out on the BMX, jumpers for goalposts, bottle of squash, scab on the knee, footy shirt, what's that in the bush - porno mag?, white dog turds, Marathon bar, Opal Fruits, Bond on before and after the News at Ten. Night, night.
  11. Yes, I'm sure you're right about the football in Italia 90. I was 8 so I remember the "moments" but wasn't a sophisticated enough connoisseur to opine on the football overall! I remember 94 being crap. Crap venues. Crap heat. Crap matches. Crao Dianno Ross pelanty. Too young for 86. Loved 98.
  12. Hi Saints fans! Let's talk international tournament highlights. For me: - Italia 90 The first tournament I was old enough to properly watch and understand, and coincided with first season going to The Dell. So many iconic moments and images: The England shell suit The opening match upset and Cameroon's "tackles" The San Siro Pavarotti Baggio v Yugoslavia Roger Milla and his funny dance Platt v Belgium Toto Schillachi Gazza and Lineker v Cameroon Germany being ruthlessly efficient and jammy bastards Chris Waddles pelanty Maradonna crying Then, a bit of a 6 year wasteland due to England being shite... - Euro 96 Home summer tournament. 14 years old. Magic. Fucking Germans again. - France 98 Despite Hoddle being a cunt to MLT... Top football: Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Cafu, Thuram, Viera, Petit, Zidane, Henry... the amazing match against Argentina. Beckham's highs and lows. Owen's ridiculous emergence into the big time with that goal. - Jap / S Korea 2002 At uni, so watching matches in Walkabout at breakfast time was not a problem. Revenge on the Argies (sorry Poch). Being proud of England even though we screwed up. Ronaldo's redemption. All dayers and pulling birds. Magic. Since then, all a bit meh.
  13. You having both Ronaldos in a super-borg?
  14. Taking some liberties with that midfield, pal!
  15. Not Saints related. No trying to be clever by putting Di Stefano or Puskas in. Best XI from players you watched when they were playing. Has to be a proper team. No eight forwards. This ain't Champ Manager 98/99. Assume everyone at peak fitness and form. -----------P Schmeichel----------- Cafu------Ramos---Terry------Bale --------Matthaus---Xavi--------- Messi--------Zidane-------Iniesta -----------Ronaldo (Brazil)------ Subs: Preudhomme, Alves, Maldini, Makalele, Busquets, Gazza, Henry, Weah, Lee Todd Maradonna was past his best when I started watching footy so I can't put him in. I remember Matthaus and Preudhomme from early world cups, so going with them! Cafu, Xavi and Messi are no brainers, IMO. Ronaldo at peak form is simply the greatest ever footballer, in my opinion. Power, pace, finesse, vision, close finishes, long finishes... if you're young and you've never really seen him, or if you just disagree, do yourself a favour and watch a YouTube video - not just his goals but his all round play. Peerless. I expect Maldini is a more sensible choice than Terry and Bale, but i saw them play more and had a patriotic urge to get an English player and a Saints youth player into the team. Iniesta can drift inside and let Bale power on. For number 10, it was Zidane or Djamel Belmadi, but Zizou snuck it. I guess Del Piero also an option. Gazza on the bench for the bantzz. What is interesting is: only 3 of the XI played Prem League.

  18. You're a farmer, right? Do you own some red flannel trousers? And a tweed blazer / shooting jacket? Mustard shirt? Just turn up with that regalia, mention how the land is doing, try not to sound like a yokel. If you're assumed to be an old fashioned toff, it would be expected that you bumble around in an ancient car.
  19. If it helps, the Duster is a Renault in some markets.
  20. Quite. I remember one of our home games this season where Sulemana missed an open goal from about two yards by running over a low cross. At half time our xG was about 0.2. Complete bullshit.
  21. Why is there a group of butchers in the stairwell?
