Dark Munster

It's incredible that he's completed a whole season with them and not scored one free kick. He should come back and start scoring them again for us.

Absolutely: Leicester 5 Saints 0 with 66% possession. Compared to Leeds 1 Saints 2 and Leeds 0 Saints 1, both with about 43% possession. Enough said. But this interview worries me that he's itching to go back to his possession obsession: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/crgg4kp6ly3o

I like it. Kill two birds with one stone.

Wow, you look just like your avatar.

Not me. I was hiding behind mine.

From the Beeb: Won't be easy to score 279 against this Surrey attack.

Depends. Any Leeds fans lurking? <grin>

If we lose tomorrow get ready for the Ankersen/SR minions to blame Gao.

The same SR whose recruitment (players and managers) has been mostly disastrous, squandered £100 million, and got us relegated rooted at the bottom of the table last season?

Sounds like Rosenior is exactly what Ankersen and SR are looking for.

So if Saints win then Monday will be the second best day of your life?

I don't buy it. If Adams is fit and this was a meaningless end of season dead rubber I can understand him not playing. But for one of the most important matches in our history it would make no sense for the club to let him sit out if fit because of a potential move to Wolves. And I don't think he's the type to throw his toys out of the pram and refuse to play at Wembley.

Not as overrated as Poch.

Yeah but we had a billionaire owner. They, on the other hand … oh wait.

Could be a lot of those this year. It's looking like Surrey to run away with the title, Essex and Somerset as also-rans to take up the next two places below them, and then everyone else fighting to avoid relegation?

“Strategy” and “Sports Republic” don’t belong in the same sentence!

That would be true if both had comparable quality squads. We don't. Russ and the boys have done very well over the two legs, but it helped having superior players.

Replace Brooks by Tall Paul, have Fraser as wing back, and I'd be happy with the line up.

Plus you only have to go to his web page to see how much up his own arse he is.

The organisational change I want to see is a certain not so great Dane being replaced.

I'll have to dust off my sofa, because if it goes to penalties that's where I'll be hiding behind.
