It looks "better". Is it any more effective than floating one to the back post?

Pretty sad, people crying to mods. This good chap Ekon is one of the more interesting things to happen on here in quite some time.

I wondered that as well! Is it anti-gheys? Like, you wouldn't use "knob jockey" as an insult to a bird. You appreciate knob jockey birds (unless it's your bird and they're jockeying someone else's knob). But if you say it to a bloke it's saying "you jockey knobs [and by implication you are less laudable to me than a bloke who dips his wick in muff]". It's just a theory.

Yes, that would be the best striped kit we've had for ages.

If he's used as a central midfielder then fans expect Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Lemina levels of quality. Even Jack Cork would do. If he's used as an attacking player then fans expect Tadic, Lallana, Mane, levels of quality. Even Redmond would do.

Corners are a pretty insignificant part of the game. JWP's corners look good but do we often score from them? In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the stats of converting corners whether its JWP or Tadic or Bertrand or Davis or whoever taking them were not remotely significant in favour of any of them. Likewise, how many free-kicks has he scored? 3? I can't be bothered to check but he doesn't exactly bang them in. He might have a reasonably good ratio but, again, it's not very significant in terms of contribution over a season. Defending. His defending is ok; he tries. I don't think there's much in it. He hasn't got any recovery pace and isn't very strong in the tackle. I know who I would rather have receiving the ball under pressure when we're under the cosh and it's not JWP. Penalties - yep, Tadic's penalties are bizarre. I'd sooner have JWP. But I'd sooner have Austin than either. The fact is that when Tadic plays well he is capable of influencing and winning matches at PL level. JWP is just an average supporting cast member.

That's complete bull. If we had signed him he'd be viewed as a massive disappointment. He gets some preferential treatment because he's local.

Sounds like a very reasonable price although I would want more details about the flights and the accommodation (if I was remotely interested in going).

No fackin plan B mush.

Not good enough to be a regular starter as a central midfielder. Good enough, just about, to be a regulator starter as a supporting forward, provided you have other players in your team with creativity. In short, a squad player at best.

Why? I want to see crying scousers and despondent pundits. Much more entertaining.

Man United need to think harder about the sort of competitor they might be creating before they next allow the Skates through the door.

I doubt he'll set foot on the pitch.

What's the word on the street in Nairobi?

Most Under Armor gear, not just Saints, always looks utter ****e to me.

Lego hair.

Just saw Paul Hart in Eastleigh bus station.

It really wouldn't take long to sort out if both parties were committed.

Could you imagine someone else winning it when Leicester did? What a stupid post, frankly.

Carillo was Stig Johansen's replacement.

What you need is everyone having an AI enabled auto-trigger gun strapped to their back. Or no doors in the malls. Or no malls.

Exactly!
