Singapore Saint

And all the freekicks he wants to take whereas he might be fighting the likes of Kieran Tripper or Aaron Cresswell depending on where he goes.

I think JWP genuinely loves the Saints, hence he won't leave us.

How's our boy doing, anyone know?

Slaven Bilic? Big and Little Sam? Sean Dyce? Wayne Rooney? Erwin Koeman?

Nice analysis and interesting nick! I can't imagine there are too many Fabrice Fernandes fans here. When we went down in 2005, he refused to play in the Championship so we had to sell him. Great at keeping the ball but "no end product" (per MLT). When a Saints fan said, "You played well today," he replied, "Only today?"

Be jabbed as many times as you like, it doesn't concern me or anyone else, but please don't despise those that have chosen not to be jabbed at all with - and I don't think even the most ardent supporter of COVID vaccines would deny this - what is a rushed-out vaccine. I don't know you, Lighthouse, but I sincerely hope for your sake that you don't get cancer or collapse suddenly while jogging years down the road because of these jabs you've had.

This comment came immediately after the one about BBC worshippers. Power of suggestion maybe?

James Beattie wasn't too shabby either.

To each his own. I'm unvaccinated and proud of it, a "pureblood" if you will. I agree a hundred per cent with MLT on COVID.

West Ham's Creswell does a JWP.

Not getting political or anything but I wonder if the blue and yellow are meant to show support for Ukraine?

You're right, I stand corrected. I clearly remember David Prutton playing a blinder though. https://www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Game/2473

I was really pleased too when we signed Prutton, especially when he scored both goals in our 2-0 home win against Liverpool (Paul Sturrock's first game in charge). Optimistic Saints supporters even ventured that he would captain England one day. But he flattered to deceive. Then there were rumours he was living with his mum (mummy's boy) and that he was slightly odd as a result. Nigel Quashie was another player we signed from the Championship that didn't pay off. In fact he had just been relegated (with can't be bothered to google which team it was). We were hoping he would be a leader - we made him captain if I remember correctly. But instead of being the signing of the season - as a pundit (Glenn Hoddle?) predicted - he turned out to be the flop of the season.

Well, where are we???

He makes goals and scores goals, 'nuff said.

Could be Everton, but I've always thought it was Villa. Maybe our club historians at Hagiology Publishing can confirm which it is.

So glad he never managed England.

Yes, it was the ref Prutton pushed, but I disagree that it was a light push as you seem to suggest ("I don't think he even realised he'd pushed him.") It was most definitely a shove, and I knew straightaway it would cost him and us. The ban was 10 games and I'm convinced it, together with Peter Crouch's stupid decision to try and score against Aston Villa in extra time instead of taking the ball to the corner, that cost us our place in the Premier League.

I would say the only saving grace is everyone around us (bar Palace who are about to play Man City) lost as well.

Worse, he was touted for the Man Utd job.

Let's get the annual 9-0 out of the way 😆

Who was it who said "he plays like two players, one called Ward and one called Prowse"?

Gel time 😌

On the contrary, I think Broja is more likely to stay after that goal. It's more obvious than ever our pressing game suits him and if he keeps it up he's going to the Euros.

I hope they go into debt paying Coutinho's wages and win nothing 😆
