Ha, Liz Coley, think she's still tipping off Longshot ?? :rolleyes:

I could well see Lukaku being used as a trading chip for Barkley, lack of European football at SMS will hold us back when we're trying to sign that category of player.

Whilst the above is no doubt correct Rooney has scored as many as JRod and has as many assists as Rickie, still as he's a knob he doesn't count.

I think it's more a question of Barkley's ability than the fact that he's a home grown player. Chelsea,Citeh and to some extent Arsenal are proving that you can easily do away with your 8 home-grown players most of the time. You recruit 17 excellent foreign senior players, throw in a couple of HGs and fill out with non HG U21s .

A lot of fuss about nothing really as far as Saints are concerned. Bloke came on at half time and did very little, no tackles, 1 shot, lost the ball quite a bit. We'd have been worse off if Sessegnon had continued I expect.

We shall see about Lukaku, he'll be Belgium's number 1 front man for the WC now and if he does well Chelsea will get plenty of offers.

Barnard is out of contract in June so he can go wherever he finds a contract without any counter deal coming our way. We're probably looking for a replacement for Cropper, he's out of contract this year, won't play for the first team unless there's some extraordinary upheaval so his time is done here as likely as not..

Some lower league trialist or other apparently, we'll never learn.

Perhaps we're having a good old clear out then.

He is a typical sportstype who has been coached for a fair period by one or both of his parents. Many of them have difficulty in adapting to a more standard style of coaching. There are quite a few tennis examples, Mary Pierce, Marion Bartoli, presumably Murray and a few others. It's something that tends to be a bit specific to individual sports. Long term parent coaching tends to produce atypical athletes because the coaching has always been adapted to very specific characteristics of the person in question.

It looks like Major League Soccer, ie a cheap imitiation of the real thing.

I'd not be surprised to see Oxlade-Chamberlain not included actually, he's playing very poorly just now, although that doesn't seem to be a handicap for an England selection as a rule. Think it will be 2 of AOC,Sterling and Townsend, not all 3.

No doubt, all these new rules and regulations seem to be so easily circumnavigated. Looked up the HG rule for the PL the other day and noticed to my surprise that 8 HG players in any 25 man PL senior squad is by no means set in stone, it's just that non-HG over 21s are limited to 17 that's all . Couldn't quite understand before just how Chelsea,Citeh and Arsenal were managing that. So with 17 foreign senior players and a few foreign U21s they have got round the rule that was supposed to guarantee the future of British football extremely easily.

I'd hope that eventually FIFA will put a stop to this hoovering up of young talent by a few clubs because eventually it will create a sort of cartel where just a few decide who plays and who doesn't. Chelsea must have a side as good as many PL teams out on loan at this time. They probably have 30 or so players for whom they have no real use whatsoever.

No because Thai military radar tracked an (unknown) aircraft from MH370s last known position heading SW. In theory they tracked it until it disappeared from their screens until 02.40 local time, ie they watched it pass over for over an hour. It is well possible that the Thai have some sort of OTH radar network that they don't want to own up about. Malaysian military radar also tracked an unknown and unidentified aircraft along a similar heading up until about 02.14 local time. So unless there were 2 unidentified aircraft swanning about in that zone on that night the plane didn't go out over the Pacific or China sea

Can't rule it out completely though. Welbeck still has about 10 matches to get through. All of our hopefuls will need to turn in a good performance next Saturday though.

It's nothing to do with the aircraft's speed really. The Inmarsat satellite in question moves about very slightly rather than be completely geostationary. Comparison of these movements and Doppler effects from the "pings" correspond more to moving south rather than north. When compared to other aircraft moving south they are similar, when compared to other aircraft moving north they are at variance. Thus the aircraft must have been moving south, that's all you can tell from the Doppler comparisons. What I might feel inclined to question is the arc that they've established because that is based on basic trigonometry and would only be correct if the aircraft maintained a constant speed and course. Think they're looking far too far south myself, mind you the 20000 million tons of junk in the Indian Ocean really doesn't help.

Ricardo I think and he is bloody good, better than Shaw now, maybe not when Shaw is 21 though. Great crosser, lovely free kick artist.

Far too good for a pile of crap like Wolfsburg that's for sure.

Well that's a crock for a start Kurt Zouma is a CB not a RB. NB Rabiot is crap.

So we're off with a 2 day friendly against Middlesex who are now 131-1 at lunch. Hope we get at least some batting practice before Sunday's CC game with Worcs.

Well in that case Luke's haircut must be about Hampshire League standard.

Best left back in the world ?? I couldn't say but I saw a young bloke play for the Swiss national side a while back and he as good, bloody good, far better than Shaw in his current state. Strange name for a Swiss though, Rodriguez, think he plays in Germany somewhere.

Good article ?? It's total ******. I mean "was the plane weaponised", must be one of these blokes who goes around with tin foil on his head.

Pray do enlighten us upstanding citizens who are not familiar with the carceral system.:rolleyes:
