How can it be MLT? His career was not brought to a premature end by the England setup. It was brought to a (slightly) premature end by a niggling recurring injury - nowt to do with England.

Three actually: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?39989-Lallana-called-up-for-England&p=1474253#post1474253

Where on earth did you derive that gem from?

Come on - don't leave it there. The suspense is killing me!

I hope they set up a special camera with a permanent view of the bench.

It is because we have a large number of posters with "sheep"-like tendencies. "I saw Fonte make a mistake or two and therefore (as I saw some others post it as a fact) he is sh1te". "I saw Jos give away two stupid penalties but (as I saw some others post it as a fact) he is still fantastic".

I would just like f'ing well receive it first

I vaguely remember their shirts in the 70's too

Translation please. Tried Google Translate but it just got worse.

Not in my backyard thanks

Am I the only one still waiting then?

Try next weekend

Are you going to give us clue which game you mean?

I wanted four but the system would not let me buy my own - just those of the three linked accounts. I bought them and they have turned up at one of their houses in one envelope. One of them had to go online to buy mine (ridiculous) and it has NOT turned up anywhere yet

Dennis Rofe? Obviously as a coach, not a player.

That is just arguing semantics. The implication, regardless, was that based on 15 minutes football he ain't good enough for this level......and I still say that is nonsense. I still expect him to be a decent buy and effective at this level.

Well, you either think he looked out of his depth or you don't. That is the statement I took issue with - that is why I highlighted it. You say "it's not the player I am criticising" but surely saying he is out of his depth based on 15 minutes football is exactly that. Any player, including the likes of Lambert, could have been brought on in similar circumstances and looked ineffectual. He hardly got a decent pass. If he looks useless every time he plays for the next x matches I will probably agree that he is out of his depth. I expect, and hope, this is not the case.

In my view, you have made several assertions/observations about his brief spell on the pitch that I completely disagree with. I do indeed think he did OK when he came on under the circumstances. So, just to reiterate, IMHO your assessment is baseless nonsense. I don't expect you to agree. Personally, I would rather wait until I have seen him play a few times before I write him off as being "well out of his depth". I swear some people think footballers are robots rather than human beings.

Not that you are generalising at all.......

Are you a football thug then?....or were you secretly glad that the police were holding you back?

It is not "a fact". It is an opinion.

You obviously felt like that because you were old. I was a youngster, watching my team advance (as a second division team) through to the quarter finals of the Cup Winners Cup. To me, they absolutely could win it....and when we got back to to 2-2 against Anderlecht I was even more convinced. That deciding goal was my first experience of football devastation. After that, everything else was much easier to recover from - especially as I was older. The Everton game does not stick in my mind in the way that Anderlecht game does.

Complete and utter baseless nonsense.....IMHO

Are you sure? Perhaps you were so gutted that you completely forgot where you were We didn't do the "hard part" by drawing at Carrow Road. We completely fooked it up by drawing 0-0 at home in the original tie - with a completely inept display. We then went to Carrow Road for the replay - and I think it was Rob Newman who scored teh equaliser and Chris Sutton who scored the winner - not Goss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqB8QoOz0aI

How can you reach a consensus on your own? Anyway, it was nothing compared to the Anderlecht cup winners cup tie at the Dell.
