Not long now, so how about a predictions thread.

Sorry Landrew, but i will eat my own boxers if Italy get anywhere near the finals. They have an ageing team and do not have any world class strikers of any note. Add to that the fact that Pirlo is the only man that makes them tick and you will see many teams man marking him. We will get to the Semi's at least -
St Etienne interested in Schneiderlin

This, and i echo MLG in saying it baffles me that people miss his obvious talents !! -

TBH i would just let Stevo have a look at it, i could probably get you close to recovering it but seeing as i am not looking at the PC i don't want to cause the loss of any data etc.

Didn't think we played particularly well in JPT TBH, even though we easily beat Carlisle. And yes Lambert has been dominated, not often, but he was a few times. That was my point really mate, when Schneiderlin has a poor game/doesn't play we don't look any where near the same side as when he is good. -

Saw it a few times, problem is when he gets dominated by bigger CB's it takes him out of the game. Have to agree with Supersaint too, when Schneiderlin does not play, we seem to lack ideas. -
My 23 and i used this site http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup-2010/teams/england/pick-england-team/7607233/England-World-Cup-squad-Pick-your-England-squad-for-the-World-Cup-finals-2010.html

Look at the back of the HD If it has this it is SATA Or this IDE - It may look slightly different to that cable, it may be 80pin but they pretty much look similar

Do you have any beep codes ?? Does the fan stay on or pulsate ??

Completely negated by a denfensive minded buffoon !! I was clamouring to take the game to a 10 men Brazil in that match but, the same as we did against France 2 years later he decided to sit back and see the game out, it also happened against Portugal. With a manager that would have seen the need to attack in this situations we could have done better but Ericsson didn't have any aggressive tactics about him. You need to wake up and realise that International football is not similar to its club football nephew, the lower international teams are at a higher level to the lower club teams and so what is expected to be a walkover will never be. To say that our best players constantly underperform is rediculous.

Agreed he had a great season however i saw him be completely negated at times by defenders that got the better of him. Leeds for example. The way i saw it was that when Schneiderlin was ticking away, saints did also. He is such a great passer of the ball and one we miss when he is not there. -
I am still yet to see Messi dominate a game in an argentinian shirt and so that sort of negates the point you are trying to make. Our big players do perform and have done so on many occasions, tearing Croatia a new one twice is one time, we also looked good in 2002 before crashing out to Brazil, however i think that was more to do with crap tactics then the players.

If we lose him we are in big big trouble. Easily our best player last year, that being said if Pardew has anything about him he would already be aware of this and so would be looking for either a 'he is not going' or a lot more than £1m. I fear St Etienne won't be the only team looking at him mind. -
I thought Huddlestone looked about the only player that could string a pass together in the first half, if you watched you would have noticed he got no cover from Lampard at all, in fact i don't think i even noticed him playing in the first half !! We also looked much more dangerous in the second when Gerrard was able to run with the ball and find space, unfortunately Fat F**** always seems to get in his way and stand pretty much up front stopping Gerrard playing. I thought the whole backline looked pretty dodgy in the first half, Ashley would have done a better job if he was not defending against both the Jap winger and fullback, the same as Johnson. Unfortunately playing two wingers in Walcott and Lennon was never going to work with only a slow DM in a midfield pairing to try and hold it together. That is why we looked better and more dangerous when we played R/L midfielders that could defend as well.

Or alternatively, if i try and make a point next time i won't try and make it to a moron

Lol, i never once said that Saints could beat england, and never would i have. That said, our big players have played very well in many tournaments, Personally i don't agree that Lampard should be given an england shirt but to say they are not good enough is laughable. Look at our performances in qualifying FFS
-
Lol at you jumping back with a non entity of an arguement, this is what i saw yesterday, you turned around and said that our better players have NEVER performed for England, where exactly have i said that ?? Better get back to the homework nipper, you've got school tommorrow

The Official Summer Transfers and HCDAJFU Thread
Smirking_Saint replied to supersonic's topic in The Saints
Think we need a young hungry Striker in that case, we are not going to sign a decent striker that has already made a name for himself to sit behind Lambert and the other two on the bench. We need to find a promising youngster that is happy to sit and learn and hungry enough to take the chance if it is given to him. I was thinking Le Fondre the other day, would he be good enough at this level ? -
This is what i saw That was pretty dire, i thought Huddlestone was the only player to stand out in the first half, Lampard is just completely pedestrian. Walcott just doesn't seem up to it and Johnson is unfortunately error prone in defence. Why oh why when Ferdinand f*cks up does he have to turn and moan at someone else ?? 2nd Half was better, we looked more imposing and had more ideas, puzzled as to why SWP and Heskey are playing when they had little game time to the end of the season ?? Why not try Adam Johnson on the left ?? It also bugs me that when Gerrard and Lamps play together Lampard still plays in his pedestrian wander around the box role, this totally negates the attributes that have made Liverpool into a fairly good team recently.........Gerrard. I would play him just off of rooney, OR play Cole just of rooney and Gerrard in midfield with a holding player. Also, Crouch needs to be played instead of Heskey in the hold up role, purely because he is also a goal threat. I am not confident after this afternoon, rant over
-
Because he is IMHO our best player, or atleast on the same level as Rooney. He plays in that position for Liverpool and has dragged a very average team into the top 4 for the past good knows how long. Equally i remember when he burst onto the international team we didn't lose a game for ages when he played. TBH he is a better all round midfielder then Lampard, the latter who only looks good in a chelsea shirt as the team is built around him. If we had coaches that could get the best out of Gerrard from the start we would have had much better results then we have had so far.

Lol at the hypocrisy !!! You comment that Alpine has dragged the forum down yet further with his insanity and then you post something like this !! Well done, now hand the keyboard over to someone else
-
When you start it up what exactly is it doing ?? You have said it has died however many peoples perception of a CPU dying is different. Do you get any sort of life on the screen ?? Does the PC make any noises ?? Are there any beep codes etc ?? This can help determine whether or not it is Hardware or software issue, as for recovering the data, TBH if you have not much computer recovery experience i would leave it to someone else.
-
Walcott needs to leave Arsenal to progress IMO. He is not technically good enough to be an arsenal player but would be fantastic in another team. It really is a shame and IMO was doomed when he left us as early as he did, mind you the club situation didn't help.
