Dark Munster

Jose and Toby are far superior CBs to him, and Nathan is a superior RB. He's OK (sometimes) but not that great.

I did. Playing for England (instead of Nathan) against the mighty San Marino.

Maybe he'll demand a move to the second-placed team in the PL.

Yes, but he is brilliant going forward. Look at all the assists and goals he's scored so far in his career. Oh...

According to one of our Foxes friends, apparently not: "I don't think Southampton should be worried about Nugent. He apparently "loves a goal" against most clubs, but then comes on and looks less of a goal threat than Kasper."

RK agrees with me! Top man. At 6:35 mark:

Easy for Ricky to say, there's no relegation in NASCAR.

85% chance of CL next year!

Oi, I resemble that remark. Anyway, we should definitely try to sign Shaqiri, because Saints have never had a player whose name starts with an X. If we can't get him, then whats-his-name from Barcelona.

Yes, but in 1977 according to Wiki. From there I learnt he also played for Caroline Hill F.C.

Of course, he may be the type who refuses to swear at the ref. In which case he simply jumps into the crowd after scoring. If he doesn't score, he can jump into the crowd if his team mate scores. If no-one scores ...... he can jump into the crowd anyway.

Of course not. Just "accidentally" swear at the referee long enough to pick up a yellow. I recall something similar in a world cup group match. The team won the first match, and was winning the second, which already guaranteed progression to the knockout stage. Their star player was on one yellow from the first match (I think it may have been Stoichkov for Bulgaria), and so spent the last fifteen minutes swearing and arguing with the referee. He finally got his second yellow, and left at the end smirking, knowing that his suspension was for a dead rubber. Back to Pelle. If he does it, I think it's a great idea, and poetic justice for the ridiculous rule that cautions in cup matches are mixed with those from the league.

It's scary we only 8 injuries away from a pretty weak team.

That's the team MoPo would field against Sheff. Utd. Not that we'd get that far with him.

Actually that's not true. Even Lowe admitted it wasn't to do with money (NP wasn't on very much, and was happy to continue). As mentioned by someone earlier, NP was a Crouch appointment and Lowe's ego wouldn't allow his contract to be renewed.

Don't understand "this run has to end soon" theory. Even our friend Lawro also used it in his prediction that we'd lose against Hull. It's not like we've won 10 or 15 on the trot: we lost to Spurs fairly recently.

They are having an auction over there. The current highest bid is 15-0.

Bugger.

Yes, but will that be enough to avoid relegation?

Pearson, excepted.

Yes it was. Not just the back four (who were magnificent), but the midfield too. And, when Cork came on for Tadic (thankfully not for big Vic), Hull were not going to score in a month of Sundays. It reminded me of how we closed out the game at Anfield last season.

Don't forget, unlike his slimy predecessor, our current manager takes cups seriously. 10-0 home defeat it is then.

When I said it's a ridiculous rule above, I meant mixing cautions for leagues and domestic cups. Pelle's yellow for jumping into the crowd is a different issue. Bingo. World cup bookings and suspensions are closed shop, ditto EUFA internationals, ditto european cups. It can work just as well for domestic cups. If a team gets knocked out early, yellow cards/suspensions can carry over to next year's competition if they want. Another reason not to mix cup and league cautions. For example, Chelski have a PL match on Saturday, and Costa is on 4 yellows. He deliberately swears at the ref to get a 5th booking, gets suspended for a cushy home match in the FA Cup midweek against some bottom-dwelling 2nd division team, and is back to zero yellows for the next PL match.
