He was absolute crap for France on Tuesday, then again that could be the Deschamps factor, it's pretty well known that he can turn a good striker into vegetable in a few seconds, why he could probably even stop Rickie scoring.

Well I actually think we'll get at least our first point of the season, the Arse have difficulty with teams that get at them. With any luck they'll have to play Ramsey, that should give us a goal start at least.

Absolutely pointless call up, took him away from training with Saints for nothing, unsurprising though because Hodgson is an old idiot. Should have given Harry the job.

6th for me, sounds about right.

Here I'd guess, wasn't the jist of the affair that after our pre-season in Switzerland Lambert was injured and ****ged out and Pardew was sacked because the sports science people and fitness coaches said his programme was too tough for the players and NA sacked him because of it?

Morgan speaks of the mental energy required to sustain 90 minutes of football against sides like Man U, says all the players need to work on that.

Wasn't Pardew supposedly sacked because some players couldn't hack his pre-season fitness programme ? The sports scientists would have Strachan out of a job before a day was out.

Probably not even a proper rumour, some people just make up crap and attribute it to "a bloke down the pub" or "a taxi driver".

Really you thought that, must have been well veiled then, I just saw it as a senseless attack on African footballers.

Touré,Drogba,Essien,Adebayor yes I can see your point, think before you post.

they were both penalties,

Just that could be troubling José, it's pretty evident even from just 3 matches at this level that Jos vs a class A1.5Star attacker is a penalty waiting to happen every time. As an analogy when you have pain in your right knee you tend to subconciously compensate and you often end up with a pain in the left knee as well. Jos can't tackle quick attackers who turn on him and it will be a big problem cos Kelvin ai n't going to save all the penalties. If Silva and RVP hadn't f*cked up we'd have been out of sight in all 3 of our matches already.

Can't see that at all, for all he knows the "boss" might have decided that there was no charge, so just wait and see whether a bill is sent.

the thing is that the perception of Mayuka is conditionned by the deception induced by the result of the game. We were winning and then we lost in the last 7/8 minutes thus any factor that intervened in the last minute change will be naturlly judged as negative. Couln't watch the game live cos I'm still stuck up my mountain but I've viewed the DVD that the wife kindly sent several times and to me the problem is more based on the fact that neither JWP nor S Davis lasted the distance.We went gung ho when we needed to shut up shop but JWP didn't get anywhere near Scholes and also punted the ball carelessly forward a few times as if it was full of anthrax or something. The smart move in my opinion was to bring back Punch a notch and take off JWP, JRod for Lambert as a straight post for post swap and if you must put Mayuka on for Lallana, trouble is that would leve Guly on his behind on the bench and I'm not sure that that's allowed ?

Not picked, because he hasn't been playing I suppose.

do they have those renta-bikes in Nice? lots of accidents with those in Lyon, Paris and Montpellier. Seems they do then.http://www.velobleu.org/

Lineker and Cantona to name but 2 played with light casts on an arm, didn't Lineker score a hat-trick with his arm in plaster in Mexico 86? Just depends exactly what's up with the arm.

With Deschamps as manager? Not for a long time, you've got to be pushing 30 or have played for Marseille or Lyon to have a chance with him. Morgan would do as well to opt for England as soon as he can, Deschamps is a knob.

Not wishing to gainsay you but when the opposition's keeper gets MOTM and a 9/10 rating then you'd kinda suspect he had a few saves to make. Also did NA not say himself that we failed to convert our chances ?

Not had the best of luck with injuries really has he. How many games did he actually play for Saints?

Morgan will become a great player, it's his destiny because he has all the attributes. It was the perception that was wrong, probably fron a group of 65 year olds who know absolutely f*ck all about 21 st century football. viz Terry Paine apparently, but then my old Mum had a very low opinion of him as well, we were sort of neighbours and she was quite friendly with one of his exs. It's all about opinion.

My daughter is a Marine Biologist, must remember to ask her what is known about the cognitive powers of your average goldfish sometime.

A game we lost because we couldn't put the ball into the net when we had chances, you pay cash for that in the PL. This is why players like Vn Persie cost 25 million and get 200K a week, they rarely miss chances.

Sounds like " no way we're going to miss out on another Charlie Austin" jobby to me. Why I've even invented a name for it, it's now to be known as BFS (Barcelona Fixation Syndrome)

Kind of a normal reaction, they probably both wanted to be on the pitch when we beat Utd and earn lasting glory. Still Punch has certain defensive ability about him and I'd have thought he could have dropped back a notch to replace JWP who, from my Tuesday television view was dead beat and doing the same s against City, just punting the ball forward. NA got it wrong but why we'll probably never know.
