Window Cleaner

He's had a couple of runs out for their reserves, 'bout 1 and a half matches. Knee probably played up afterwards then.Knees are dodgy, some never recover completely and if some-one is going to give some swans you'd might as well listen.

I have never bought this appearance money business. If we had to pay Rudi say £2000 for every appearance he makes, then that's a reasonable sum compared to say signing Ryan Smith or Jordan Robertson on loan at say £3000 a week. If you're not playing a player because of "appearance money" but signing others who are, in theory, inferior whilst costing you more money then the whole argument falls to bits. Unless of course there's a biggish whack due to his former club for the very next appearance he makes.Skacel has played what 53 times for saints so it's not at all likely that the 54th was the lucky number, it would probably be a round number in any case. In my personal opinion Rudi Skacel isn't playing for us because he believes the standard of our team beneath him.Just my opinion though. Now if you told me he had a bit of a botched up contract where a certain part of his salary wasn't paid directly by the club unless he plays, that I could believe.That would explain the new contract in August.

It's nothing to do with Lowe and Wilde, unpopular as that may be. We can't afford a better manager or better players until we shift from our books the theoretically better players that we have that don't contribute one iota to our matchday performances. Skacel+BWP+Thomas+John+Euell= £50000+ (and more) every week. It needs 5000+ spectators in the ground every home match just to watch them err not performing. Lowe+Wilde have obviously tried to shift them but with no result. So you're paying your hard earned to watch them do err nothing whatsoever.That's not Lowe or Wilde's fault (well Wilde a bit) Because of employment law we have to pay them until the end of their contract .If nobody else wants to take them off our hands we're stuck with the bustards, good attitude,bad attituden,play, don't play, it doesn't matter 5000 spectators pay them anyway.So when you're olny getting 16K anyway 28% of your revenue has disappeared up the chimney before you kick a ball. The super stadium,much dreamed of for donkey's years gobbles up the hard earned of another 4000 spectators every game... So you're left with the square root of f**k all to pay the team that actually step on to the field.

You can blame everything you like but at the end of the day we missed 2 penalties that's it and all about it. It gives the opposition a shot in the arm and you a sharp smack right between the eyes.We have got to get Morgan and Gasmi onto the pitch by Tuesday.If not I want to see Thomas,Euell,John and Skacel there with their boots and their kit. If they can't play they should bring a note from their mum explaining exactly why,along with a cheque for the pay they're taking from us and not earning.

Will it? It will bring us the instant sale of Lallana,Surman and Schneiderlin and a 10 point penalty, prbably more.

If Micky said that it must be true.Brian still got any boots?

Yes well, if we hadn't had this Svensson illusion all pre-season perhaps we would have done something about that before it was too late. If Thomas wasn't such a big mary then perhaps it would be Ok as well. If Davies hadn't decided he was a premiership player, well just perhaps it would be Ok as well. Svensson illusion=too late ,everybody worth having is already fixed up. Perry is too small and too slow.

I don't think he got back until yesterday, takes a long time to row from Trinidad these days.If T+T played Wednesday night in Port of Spain, that would be at about 01hrs Thurday morning BST,time to get some rest, get back down the airport,get back home it would be well into Friday.So despite having a 2 week break clubs with player playing on Wednesday night in a different time zone will lose them again on the Saturday. If they played games on the 1st Wednesday instead of having an Easy 6, it wouldn't happen.

Perhaps it will turn out nice and you'll be able to take a dip off the Mumbles, wouldn't bother with the game though.

He doesn't have any other option, that's the problem in a nutshell. Could have played Perry at the back I suppose but I don't doubt he has some sort of niggling 40/60 ongoing injury.Should have played John,not even on the bench, that means he didn't want to or wasn't able to play.Don't even talk to me about that .... BWP. 8K a week and about as much worth as a falling leaf to us.We are being shafted by players who take a lot and give nothing. You can't say John and BWP is related to "appearance" fees, they've played before and weren't great.

They won't play. They're all injured or sulking.

I'll go first then. It's clear, you miss 2 penas in the first 20 minutes or so and you lose. Newton's 146th law of football.Don't care about the rest.

same old problem with us though isn't it. Too many "injuries", not being able to count on our best players although we're still having to pay them week in week out.Svensson is a massive let down,we really got suckered into that. He wants to play to be sure but let's face it he isn't up to the job. Thomas looked OK in his scarce outings,another terminal injury there as well.Euell? won't even mention Rudi. John ,half a run out as substitute and he's "tired" like a big girl's blouse. We are just suckered by our "senior players" season after season after season. We pay,they don't play.

It doesn't make any difference, if you can't score you can play 0-0-10 and you still won't win.We can't score, that's our problem.

Yes but Ipswich have spent relatively heavily, they're about a point better off than us.What you need in this league is brick shîte houses, lots of them.

Anyway we need to get John,Schneiderlin and Gasmi on the pitch by Tuesday. A bit of class and a bit of presence, may work wonders.

It isn't working because missing 2 penalties when you're struggling is like getting hit round the head with an atomic bomb. You start to believe that nothing will ever go your way.It's mental, these are a bunch of young lads who need to feel that the whole world and his dog aren't against them.When we missed 2 spotters it was curtains.

I see Ipswich are losing at home as well, you can't buy your way out of this league. Steve Howazrd scored for Leicester, bet he's on more than at least 6 of our players put together.

Stern John does good penalties, unfortunately he's knackered after a 2 week jolly in the Caribbean somewhere.

Here you go this is how you do it

Yes but it's in for the annual MOT so they're in the dishwasher.

No one on our bench worth sending on anyway. Perry,Bart,Pekhart,Thomson,Gillet-what difference will that make. We have players who could make a difference, they can't be arsed or aren't fit so carry on with what we've got,save the others for Tuesday.

At least you'll end up with some shiny spoons if nothing else. Count me out, they're all in the dishwasher
