  1. Take Clasie with you.

    I knew a lot of Arsenal fans who said a similar thing after Bergkamp's first season.

     

    Just to be clear, this isn't a comparison of he 2 players, just one of perspectives

  2. I can't imagine that has ever happened. At the moment you can't score an own goal from a direct free kick and you can't score any goal direct from a dropped ball. They also state that a referee cannot 'manufature' a dropped ball, whatever that means.

     

    I am struggling to understand this comment: • Offside FK is always taken where the offside offence occurs (even in own half)

    I've actually played in a game where that happened. A windy Sunday morning at King George V in winchester. We were 1-0 down and the keeper went up for a corner. The rest, in its hilarity, is history. I have never seen anything like it and probably never will again

  3. You're better off going through Christchurch towards Bournemouth hospital and join Wessex Way down there from Castle Lane. Boscombe is ok if you know the rat runs. Alternatively, go from Christchurch, down Bargates towards Hurn and get on Wessex Way there. A35 from Lyndhurst is favorite to get that far though. If you want to miss traffic into Lyndhurst, come off A31 just after Rufus Stone services and go through Emery Down. Hope this helps

  4. I can't see Bournemouth going down. They are playing well, scoring goals and have strengthened well so far this window. I think they have too much about them for relegation. I can't see past Villa, Sunderland and Swansea for the drop

  5. Why do you think WH are getting shot of him? His legs are gone, he isn't a PL quality player anymore.

     

    I can't believe people are even suggesting it.

    29 premier league appearances last season says otherwise. West Ham are a poorly managed club from top to bottom, which could be the reason they have let him go. I stand by what I said previously as it is my opinion. But thank you for your input

  6. He would give us depth in the squad. Short term contract or pay as you play may suit both parties. We could certainly do a lot worse. He may get cards, but Romeu and Wanyama are pretty adept at that themselves. Definitely wouldn't be the worst move we could make imo

  7. Evidently, given that the Pavilion rebuild didn't start until more than 5 years after they had left.

    My apologies. I forgot that people can't identify humour unless they are told by way of lol or haha. I shall consider myself suitably chastised for my glaring omission. Or it could be that you are being pedantic. Is there an emoji or abbreviation to express that? Purely to avoid confusion in future. In case it isn't clear, in this instance, I am being sarcastic

  8. Love that they have safe's in their lockers you obviously can't trust the millionaires around you not to punch a fiver from your wallet and call Australia on your mobile!

     

    Looks a decent signing for me, look forward to seeing how he gets on sensible business as usual.

    They were installed after the BWP and ND incident

  9. At least one of the youth sides are staying at Winchester College at the moment. I was watching them train (should have been working) and they look phenomenal. Very well mannered bunch of lads too. Teams who have training stays at the college normally play a match there at the end of the week, so I may have to go and watch that as well.

  10. I'm still not convinced. They may be bigger than us as a club, in so far as stadium size and fan base, but infrastructure and current standing makes us a far more attractive and sensible option. Also, we have a wage and finacial structure that is sustainable and we have shown that we will not break that. For these reasons, I am not concerned. Throwing money at players in a desperate attempt to get their signature on a contract just smacks of desperation. I would wonder how close to the FFP limit Sunderland actually are.
