Agree with most of what you say but for me Bonnuci is the best outright defender in world football

Thoughts from yesterday ..... Gabba getting injured is a big loss .....we went back to being toothless as soon as he went off ! Ericksons Goal could have been blocked if the two CBs had more experience and closed him down , they stood and watched , Bertrand saw the threat but couldnt get across in time . I honestly believe VVD certainly and Caceres probably would have seen the threat and blocked the shot . JWP ...who gets so much negative on here I thought stepped up yesterday , he was more mobile going forward and is developing a bite to his game . Additionally I think if he does win a cap it may be the catalyst for him to push on . Romeu ...Had the measure of Wanyama and i thought he could have been sent off for a second yellow very easily for the foul on OR Spuds have walked everyone at white hart lane , we were very unlucky not to come away with at least a point .....a very good team is being built here but we could do with a bit of luck TBH

Potentially yes but he is very young still .....i actually though he looked a more mobile composed defender than carceres last night

Jones plays like fonte ....very composed , he is what 18 ....great prospect

Cricfree have a stream

Watched the highlights this morning ....Romeu header hit the cross bar underside and then the post .....how unlucky is that gods were not on our side ...never seen that before ...hey ho very very proud of the performance and the fans

Just been told kick off delayed due to accident on M3 is that correct ...delayed to 5.30

Westwood changed colours LOL .....has Turkish seen this yet

Block 142 is saints end low down level with the edge of the penalty box ....kinda itchen north

Very easy to answer the question I know no more than this .....around the time of the Beer Sheeva home game just after the Lander bid had come into the press I met a contact in London that has Board Level dealings in the club and contacts , he said at the time that the Lander approach had been leaked to the press through Bloomberg and the clubs preferred PR vehicle Jeremy Wilson to push KL preferred option on with there bid and this from a USA entity.....I said nothing but clearly the club did leak it and clearly a USA buyer is poking around because it would have been easy for the story today to just say 4 chinese interests ...but no they added one american.

look back at how the lander bid was leaked ....bloomberg and jeremy wilson .......one thing we know about the club regime currently....they do not leak anything without a reason or a leverage

The key sentence on the mail report is 4 chinese bidders or interests and 1 american ....everything i have heard has pointed to KL and RK preferring the bid from the west over the bids from the east ....even down to leaking the lander one to push the american bid on

Luke shaw was constantly monitered by the fitness and medical team because he a bad diet and always gained weight in the close season , keeping his fitness levels up was a challenge , as a academy player he was given constant guidence ........he is now a pro in a very big club ...money he has yes but life is very different

So if we had made an effort to beat Arsenal we would have had Sutton to beat then Lincoln into the semi final ....Hohum

Delighted he has now signed a world class defender or was at Barca and Juventus, very popular with the fans wherever he has been for hi hard no nonsense style and also very well liked in the dressing room a real character. Welcome Pelado !!! He is where i am worried ....Caceres and VVD as a pairing if they Gel is an awesome thought , so it could turn out to be a great move , have we got an option for another year ....I dont know , does anyone but you can see spuds or the scousers queuing up to nick him off us if we dont have it tied down . Off course he could get injured a be an expensive flop ........................

It is ...hey ho live and learn will pay through my membership next time .....have bought four tickets at 370 quid each from a good ticket site not gonna miss this one

same for me i bought 6 euro tickets for all three home euro ticket plus 4 for milan and prague ....but bought through my company so doesnt count ....grrrrrrrr 24 tickets plus what i have bought on standard homes

Yep clearly the secret scout was so secret that he wasnt there .....Alfie Jones does have huge potential though to be fair

When St Marys was designed there were Wheel chair sections built into the stadium design I know for sure there were some in the chapel end .....are these not used now ...i have never really looked tbh

One plus for Careces is he was very popular with the Juventus fans , he is very all in when he plays gives 110 % they had a nickname Pelado for him which as far as I can tell is kinda like Mexican street fighter . Also very well liked in the dressing room certainly NOT an Osvaldo type character

Kat didnt directly cop it it was more toward Reed ...but Ralph and Kat would have heard it all

Just balancing out the defence situation .....Gabbadini cost us money but I am just comparing Fonte (our highest wage earner ) + 8M ....a six month contratc with option for a further year will not cost us the same money no way

Things that need to change .......... 1) We have a Goalkeeper who clearly is carrying a injury , he now has the worst shots on target to saves ratio in the football league , saturday three shots three goals . Change now . 2) Saturday he picked a side that was crying out for 4 1 2 1 2 with boufal playing in the hole and width from the full backs ...but no stick boufal out wide and jay rod ...in some sort of 4 1 2 3 . Boufal is best playing number 10 . Pick the best team and formation and stick to it for gods sake
