So the same situation as Poch then ? Wonder if Koeman gets the same vitriol, we could do without losing another good coach

Having torn a cruciate twice now I firmly believe it was due to the footwear and not anything else. You dont see bladed football boots these days but I felt that this was the issue. At first they were great, the grip you got was incredible, I found I could play on any pitch no matter how slippery the surface and Id be ok. At 18 I was running 100m for the college and a reasonable striker for the level I was playing. My gane was pretty much pace abd trickery. But unfortunately one afternoon I attempted to turn at full pace round the fullback. My boots did the job.. Staying where they were, unfortunately my knee exploded, my CB heard the pop from nearly a pitch away. It hurt.. A lot Plenty of rehab, pain, worry later and I was back. Id played a few games and was ok, Id lost some pace but was ok. One morning we were a CB short, I turned up last minute and forgotten my boots. Id decided a while ago to stop wearing blades but the only spares were bladed. I lasted 15 minutes, I took a long ball on the chest, the striker was closing me down so I turned him quickly.. My foot stayed where it was... POP. That was another 2.5 years out of action due to NHS issues etc We dont see blades any more really, but I imagine its still boot 'grip' related. Either that or the sheer amount of drills and game time they get through at the moment.. Or both.

I prefer Krakow to Prague, for me its a slightely less tourist prague, still very much as pretty, cheaper, the people are friendly and enough to do and keep you entertained. Easily the same level of history aswell. If it is prague though December will be cold, bring your thermals, worth it though as the snow brings out its appeal and you should have the crimbo market. Get off the beaten track for cheap beer and decent food, I managed to haggle some free drinks in a restaurant that wanted our custom. Must try a Goulash in one of their sourdough buns too. Theres a tower you can go up and look over the city, perfect if you have a missus, give it a miss if not ! Also theres a beer museum somewhere which was ace.

Harrison Reed - Official: Signs for Fulham
Smirking_Saint replied to washsaint's topic in The Saints
Spot on as per usual Mr Fry, seen enough of Gallagher and Reed to form an opinion now, Gallagher for me doesnt look good enough for the level we are aiming at, certainly isnt ready to feature yet, best thing the club can do is get him some game time at a reasonable championship club and see what develops. Reed certainly can do a job but he isnt reliable for the game Koeman wants to play full time, he just isnt expansive enough yet. Again get him to the right club and he may well develop into a tidy little player but he isnt there yet. Its only really Targett and JWP that look ready right now from the academy, and Im not completely won over by Targett yet. -
Lol

Lol at overrated, as a player I think he is excellent, has the right work ethic, technically very good, picks the right passes. Shame he has had so many injuries, darren anderton mk II

Cannot wait, love this series, loved Skyrim too but prefered fallout.

Saints had a bid in.... Correct... (Well, not a bid but we lodged interest) But the info I got was due to family issues he wasnt keen on a move south. I believed at the time that it was Everton that were in the driving seat early last summer. For whatever reason that didnt materialise. Obviously I didnt want to mention what I heard re family issues.

Pavel savitsky Thats all you need

He was never interested in coming here as he doesnt want to come south

Exactly, really dont get the similarity other than what you point out, ive heard so many people say it. If anything he is more like Colback ?!?

Well... Cash and a more prestigious club that has a better chance of consistantly finishing in a top 6 position -
Isnt Boaz Myhill out of contract ? Had a reasonably decent season this year and fits the bill for backup to Forster I should think
-
Ive tried most, and most arent really worth it really, just very gimmicky. The best fitness app I used was the adidas MiCoach with heartbeat sensor.
