The only pumping will be us pumping them good and proper.
-
I guess he might be talking about a media engagement. I.e. if he is offered work on the day. That's fair enough, really if he has to work to pay the bills.
-
If we play the same shape as against Leeds then we could go with Sulemana instead of Adams and bring Stewart on later. Means Armstrong needs to provide the link role but it could work quite well.

Todd, Bleidelis, Forren, Carillo, Forepast

Got one direct from a corner I think, so that probably counts. He must be a bit frustrated not to have got a couple more though.
-
You need to look at what the team in second needed to finish second. The highest there is 89 (on GD). 88 would have been enough in 8 of the 10 seasons. The third placed team never got 90, so is always enough for top 2.

We're playing well and Leeds seem tense/rattled. It's like they actually thought they might go up today. Manager seems to be losing it. Moaning about us not getting booked for fouls which are barely even fouls. Weirdos. Ref seems a bit of a fruitloop. I'd make a few changes to the booked players before we pick up a red card and slump to defeat. I like the system. Forces us to play to the forwards a bit quicker, suits the way they play and should suit Stewart. It also suits KWP, Smallbone and Manning. I've seen nothing from Leeds to fear. Downes so important though. Get him off soon, along with Manning and Bednarek. I'd like to see Brooks have a go at the Aribo role too.

For the record, I haven't been picking the team all season, but it's nice to see Russ listening to my expertise. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/60381-ross-stewart/?do=findComment&comment=3295404

For God's sake, why?! I hope this is just resting Manning or something. If we have anything other than KWP at right back and Manning at left back in t'playoffs I'll be fuming. Not that Manning is wildly better, although he probably is a bit better, but Bree is not a left back. I actually wouldn't mind us trying this: -----Shoehorn--THB--Janny Bee---- KWP----Downsey--BillyBone--Manning ---------------Aribo-------------- ----------Adams---Armstrong------- Fraser CDAJ at wing back if needed or maybe even in the Aribo role. Brooks ready in case Aribo or Smallbone need swapping. Edozie and Sulemana can give a pace option up front and if Stewart does get fit then he can play a straightforward striker role alongside someone giving him a hand.

Makes you realise what a machine JWP is.
-
Adams is not a main striker. He's an excellent supporting striker who can come deep and help create things, but he's not a natural finisher and his movement in the box is not great. I worry that if we just swap him for Stewart in the current system then we won't create the chances for Stewart to put away. It would have been interesting to try a 352 or even a 442 at times to see how Adams and Armstrong got on playing "up front" together in this division.

We might still!

Who am I libelling? Trump? Pretty sure he's got more pressing legal issues to worry about than the millions of people who, every day, point out he's dodgy as hell online. The point here is that by diluting everyone's shares, the price will fall. My point all along is that this is a terrible investment for anyone else and that the people that have done so are probably, by and large, idiots, who will enable him to make cash out of a sad litttle business that isn't worth anything much. Since you first mentioned it and implied it was some sort of long term bet, it has tanked completely. You keep posting things that show I'm correct.
-
Lol. You're all over the place mate. Remember when I said this was a way for Donald to scam money off idiots... oh look!
-
I met him once and he seemed like a nice guy.
-
Brooks has been asleep. Get Fraser on. Charles for Stu before he gets himself sent off.
-
That's illegal. You have a right to object to automated decisions taken using your personal data and to have them manually reviewed.
-
I never said you can't make a bit of money on it from time to time. I said it's a scam for idiots. Since you were tipping it, it's sunk.

Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

Turkish making a right twat of himself! 🤣 -
Down 17% today. One of the most incompetent stock scams ever attempted.
-
What we massively lack is another Flyn Downes so we can play the *hipster alert!!!* Double Pivot and close down midfield. Martin tried to make one yesterday by putting Stephens in there and it didn't work. He doesn't fancy Charles. That leaves us without one and it's a big gap in the squad. Anyhow, can we please start playing with a proper back 4 again, with a left back and a right back for the rest of the season. It usually works quite well!
-
Stuart Armstrong. Fucking hell! Having a mare. Terrible passing.

Of course they're not up for it when they are being starved and bombed. And neither would you be. The groundwork for the 2 state solution has to start with Israel which has almost total economic and military control of the entire country. They need to do the work to change attitudes (which are arguably quite legitimate - I don't think I'd like a bunch of foreigners turning up, forcing me into smaller parcels of land, declaring me unwelcome in certain areas, controlling when I can leave, stealing farmland, locking up children, occasionally sniping folk, etc...). We British don't even like pathetic consignments of bedraggled folk on dinghies occupying the rooms of some of Kent's finest 3 star hotels. There is no war or battle for supremacy. It's done. So there are two options: Israel pushes for complete subjugation/displacement of the people who have actually lived there for centuries; or, Israel tries to create an environment where a solution can work, which would involved a bit of humility, which sadly seems in short supply amongst Israeli politicians. On top of that, the world needs to do more to stop rogue nations like Iran and Russia from causing trouble.

None of the neighbouring states are hard-line Islamist states. This is precisely why Iran backs terrorist groups in the region. The countries in the region generally want stable nation states, built around ideas of nation-hood and participation in the international community, not pan-national religious twaddle. Iran is the outlier seeking to gain influence against the emerging Saudi presence on the global stage by pushing a concept of pan-national Islamism. The rulers in the Gulf states, in Jordan, in Syria etc. have no time for these ideologies and are focused on economic growth as a part of the global community (obviously Syria is connected to Iran and Russia for a variety of reasons so is a bit of an outlier, but it certainly isn't an Islamic state by ideological conviction). Yes, they are not democracies but many of the citizens in those countries are quite happy about that. Frankly, if you're colonial settlers, I'm not sure you have the right to moan in any case.
