Plus a few sub appearances evidently because he's down as 28 or so games at Yeovil and 22 at Swindon. Nevertheless it's competitive football, playing against seasoned pros every week or so and getting into the real drift of things. I've no time whatsoever for unders categories because to me it's not competitve professional football.

Mason was loaned out quite a bit I think. This is one thing that I reproach the hierarchy at SMS, these lads should all be out on loan from the time they're 18-19+. U21 football is nothing for them and at least by loaning them out it can be seen if they're got that little something extra that suggests that they'll eventually make the grade to the top flight. There is no point mollycoddling them in the unders making out that they're all stars of tomorrow..tomorrow which never comes of course.

U21s on youtube yes, that is neither here nor there, he's 21, been at the club for years and is no nearer the 1st XI than he was a couple of years back. These lads will either make the grade by the time they're 19 or 20 or will just peter out as have done so many before them. You've got to be farkin good to be a PL player, even on the periphery of it and whilst these lads obviously have some attributes they obviously don't have what it takes to make the big step up.

21 and nowhere near the first XI....Swindon and Yeovil beckon.

Then again you could say that if your prime creator is crap the rest must necessarily follow, especially with no Mané until the 65th minute.

Away fans are often banned in Ligue 1 stadiums nowadays. StE still get good crowds though and the Cauldron hasn't changed much. Still a good place. Economics are of course biting in to French football everywhere and teams are become less and less inspirational.

Yes I think so, Davis isn't a bad player at all and we could certainly use a home grown lad who's prepared to stay with us for a while once he's topped out..

Now you're talking. I was always a terrace fan, even when my ordinary lifestyle would have put me into the West Stand regular bracket. I loved Saturdays in the Milton and similar spots in other grounds,, a place to swap your suit,tie and Gucci brogues for a few hours of fun every week. Kids were elsewhere in the choccy boxes, women..well unless they were like the isolated blonde nutter that was always there and who actually seem to enjoy getting groped by 2000 or so blokes every time the Saints came over the half-way line,..then you didn't see any, Tyrell and Greens was their Saturday spot. Real football, a game for men, played by men for the tittilation of other men.

Both feet was just a misunderstanding caused by Koeman's iffy command of the English language. Never was a real issue. LvG creates similar confusion amongst the OT faithful because he confuses the use of 2 Engllish words which are both the same in Dutch...apparently.

Strikes me that he's become a mini-Davis, a sort of jack of all trades who excels at none. His primary goal should be to become efficient enough to replace Davis in the side as starter and see where he goes from there. Until he does that he'll be in and out of the side.

Probably because many "real" fans have been priced out of football because of the ST dominated policies. If you've not got the wherewithal to be a ST fan then you may or may not get a ticket for individual games. Too many kids, too many women, too many old fogies is all that the ST policy encourages.

The Turks were thinking that anyone helping anyone helping the Kurds is their enemy. The Turkish attitude towards the Kurds is one of the most important sideshows of the whole affair. The Kurds are battling the EI on the ground, 10000 or so of them are 12 miles from Raqqa, if they prevail then they'll have grounds for a Kurd state and that's something that Erdoggan, an islamist at heart, will never tolerate. Then there's the case of the ethnic Syrian Turkmen who are battling against Bachar.

And JWP is what exactly...this is the problem, no one really knows, he's certainly not got the qualities to make a real DM, if he's not an AM then that only leaves the nebulous role of CM or utility man.

Didn't Citeh want to give us 20 million for him a while back..well this way with the money then gents.

Or failing that, Home Alone XIV

Although with some you need to be accepted onto the main forum by nature of "likes" on the quality of your posting on a neophytes forum. Bloody hard to accede to the real deal according to a MU supporting colleague of mine. However the quality of the main forum isn't all that at all.

It's a total mess really, each faction and nation involved has it's own objective in view.None of them want the same end result. Doubt if anyone in the UK has reported that the EI now have an unexploded french 500 kg smart bomb to parade around.

Then again you have to consider the England U21 possibles who've graduated to the full national side at an early age such as Barkley,Shelvey,AOC and now Alli . If Barkley was still in the U21s would the now 21 yr old JWP still be there or captain.

So what's the current opinon on his progress then ? He was a stand in for Bertrand so obviously no real comparison can be made yet on their respective qualities.

If any of them apart from JWP ever got any PL game time we might be able to form an opinion. As they don't then you'd have to assume that Koeman sees no need or reason to use any of them and he must know better than any of us...right?

Trigger happy Turks...... Situation has gotten far too complicated...probably for the benefit of the ..."bad guys" whomsoever that may be.

Nasri is out for quite a while I think, has become a bit of a sick note.

Only if they float though..

At least they do not complicate the task. On another note each day brings new reports of the French aiding and abetting their assailants. Last week it was revealed that on the evening of the 13th the BRI had 3 out of 50 of their unit on duty and that the drama had to be tackled first by the BAC which is not equipped for such a mission, their principal task being more in the banditism line. Today it was revealed that one of the suicide bombers had his passport and identity papers confiscated for trying to go to Syria a while ago. He simply went and told his local commissariat that they'd been lost and obtained new ones just like that so off he went to Syria. It's all being revealed as a monster own goal really.

Who knows really, if there's any real likelyhood of him being sold he'll probably be useless to us from the moment he starts believing in it all. Like Victor last August IIRC.
