    Anyone that participates in this needs a good slap. Nothing but dickhead students and chavs.
  3. My first thought! Proper keyboard warrior.
  4. Good Boys.
  5. God I hope not.
  6. We've tried before.
  7. Apologies, was just a recommendation. Last thing I was told back in January (two targets identified, will only move for one) but as ever no names. Only name I have ever seen/told in black and white was the Astori file/dvd at Staplewood back in 2013. I have minimal contact with Fran now as I am assisting at another club.
  8. This is a player I have kept an eye on lately and will continue to do so. A more mobile 'target man' that is currently on loan to Hamburg from Hertha. Player that won't exactly get the 'name dropping' brigade excited but someone I think will come good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Michel_Lasogga Jovetic is a very sensible shout but I would be pleasantly surprised should that or any domestic loan/transfer happen this window.
  9. Your priceless, you really have no ****ing clue. Haha
  10. There were always players going to leave.
  11. For those interested in scouting & it's logistics read 'The Nowhere Men' great little read.
  12. We think ours is buggered too. Currently renting a small flat off the inlaws so we can save to buy. Everything is electric, had a new washing machine installed by hopeless Indesit on Wednesday. Ever since then Friday the flat has been with out hot water, except for shower.

    No thank you.
  14. Anyone else see Chris Coleman outside the ground with a woman that did not look like Charlotte Jackson? Looked more bronze than David Dickinson and is an absolute giant. Looked more set for the red carpet than an FA Cup game.
  15. Just back from the game: Fair Play to Yeovil fans, good bunch, made a bit of noise and decent numbers. Little disappointed with our fans, sat in itchen/chapel corner and had our 'yoof' constantly gobbing off and slatting others for not singing. Katrina was in attendance and Lambert, Turnball and Wanyama sat in box and celebrated a lot when Gallagher scored. Fonte received a warm response whilst warming up. Phil Dowd wasn't consistent enough and actually put the whistle to his mouth when JWP went down in the second half only not to award another penalty. Davis 6- Good game, did what was needed except the odd heart in mouth moment when playing out from back. Clyne 7- very attacking, looked to take players on and defended well. Maya 6- won a few in the air against Miller and played 90% of his passes across the back line. Hooiveld 6- was solid for majority of the game, slight mix up with Maya/Kelvin in first half and out of position for one Yeovil through ball. Shaw 7 - Almost lethargic in his approach, numerous opportunities to bomb forward without the ball yet chose to stay square. Did make three/four penetrating runs with the ball. Cork 8 - Class Schneiderlin 7- quiet but as ever reliable, went about his business. JWP 7 - always busy, looked to get on the ball all the time. Guly 100 - Move over Ronaldo Rodriguez 6 - Is not a lone striker, got himself in a few central goal scoring positions but still under hits and goes for placement instead of striking cleanly. Lallana - 7.5 driving force behind any of our attacks, gradually fizzled out. Much more direct with his dribbling which was good to see. Subs: Gallagher - so pleased to see him get his goal. Much better at playing the line this time, gradually coming off his marker and a fantastic turn in the box to nearly score a second. Davis - Mr Safe, does a job and had an attempt on goal which either side of the keeper would of been a goal. Reed - looked comfortable even though he was playing out wide, awesome ball in for Davis. Funny five minute spell with the weather at which some matey's hat blew on to the pitch and Phil Dowd ran around holding for ten minutes.
  16. Appreciate any help from you lovely bunch. Looking at taking the girlfriend to Barcelona for a short break in May (looking to get to the Barca vs Atheltico game for the 16th) can anybody recommend a good hotel? 4* preferably. Only looking at 3/4 nights.
  17. I don't think some of you really comprehend how highly regarded Saints academy is nationally. I've enjoyed two fantastic conversations with Matt Crocker since he joined the FA. As for the Bath Centre, its absolutely no different to what Chelsea/Spurs/Arsenal currently do with the exception of it being managed correctly and not money orientated.
  18. Alfie, 8, from 'All Saints Road'
  19. The lad that went with him to the Southampton crane, was in my form group at school. Very talented free runner and complete nutter but has his boundaries.
  20. Let's hope it is 'smoke screen & mirrors' and not wishful thinking. We can speculate all we like, MLG can dig up every stat and news article relevant. Until we hear something from the club or Nicola, it's going to get uncomfortable. Not particularly fussed about Pochettino.

    A horrific stay if true; It has been 13 months since an Englishman scored in the Premier League for Newcastle United.
  22. My birthday too.
  23. Our central play in the final third isn't aggressive enough at the moment. Our ball retention is great but doesn't appear to have a catalyst (except Lallana) when attacking. I would like to see us to use possession earlier and be more 'clinical' (at least attempt) in the final third. I counted three occasions where Steven Davis was central to the goal around 20-18 yards out and unopposed but unfortunately each occasion he was on his left foot (crying out for Ramirez but at least he got in to that position). Lambert looked knackered after 75 minutes. Ramirez looked like the number '10' I think we've been missing. Boruc, just . Good three points.
