Well well........its never dull is it ?

When you say stepped down you mean gone back to his former job as Finance guy ?

I hope MP finds a way to accommodate Cork in the team when Vic is back, would be such a shame to lose him in the summer if his first team chances become limited again when Morgan and Vic are both ft.

Whats happened with this John Williams guy then ?

No way

Strangely I find myself agreeing with you.....that's the second time this has happened in the past year :-D

Leon Best, Derby away, play offs.

We are on a little island called 9th.........would have taken that beginning of the season so happy ifwe stay there or catch Newcastle maybe.

If true wouldn't it be nice if, just for once, the club made a statement about it on the OS to both inform the fans and to keep at bay the packs of over eager journalists who will need a map and compass to find their way to the Press Conference this afternoon. That way it takes the wind out of their sails and the PC can be just about the Sunderland game as it would have been had NC not gone !

The thing I cannot understand is why Cortese would be working hard to persuade MP to stay. Unless he is planning to head up a consortium to buy the club if KL does put it up for sale and has told MP to sit tight why would he bother ?

I have to say taking Cork off as MP seems to regularly do at present does leave us more open. Not sure its the wisest tactic. Obviously it worked yesterday cos Gaston made the goal but it does worry me.

Yeah exactly, you would be able to spot a Kelvin coached keeper a mile away. I cannot understand after all these years of being so poor at his near post how coaches have not worked on it with him or why with all his experience he hasnt improved that aspect of his game. You couldn't seriously have him coach keepers on position when week in and week out he makes the same basic goalkeeping error. Having said that he is currently better than Gazza. It is what it is, we are stuck with it.

Wouldn't work cos they run to all four corners of the pitch and Fox is never that far back when defending and rarely reaches the bye line when attacking ;-)

Yeah and he played a full part in turning a 2-1 lead at Man City last season into a 3-2 defeat as well as a 4-2 at Newcastle and a 6-1 at Arsenal defeat, not forgetting his falling asleep and handing Spurs 3 points just before Christmas.

I just dont understand these people who say if Shaw is injured then Fox is a good man to come in. He isnt, he is bloody rubbish, a liability and as has been said Cylne left back and Chambers right back if Luke is out. If someone wants to buy him then fantastic, I wouldnt lose any sleep over him not being at the club. How many goals have to come from his bad positional play or him just turning off his concentration for people to get that he is our opponents biggest asset when he plays !

Must be pretty serious if true. Saints aren't the sort of club to make a complaint like this for nothing. About bloody time this pompous idiot was dropped from Premiership matches.

How lucky are we that in the almost 13 years since St Marys opened it hasn't been flooded yet ? Who would credit it eh ?

I fully expect the Danny and Jos show to be in full swing for this game. Would be very surprised if Shaw, Lovren, Fonte, Morgan, Lallana and a couple of others were featured but I hope I'm wrong as the league position means we are one of the teams that should give this competition a bloody good go. I assume Burnley will rest a few too.....if they dont then Skybet's 6-1 for an away win looks a fair punt.

It's horrendous here in Bournemouth........mind you it usually is and that's nothing to do with the weather :-) But it is pelting down....

Obviously the OP is entitled to his opinion but I cannot agree with it

Couldn't agree more. Spot on.

Oh give me strength........I think we mean in footballing terms not in major trauma terms. Sorry for not making it clear in order to avoid confusion :-/

I think Jack has made his point to MP over the last few weeks.

Was that really 30 years ago that little runt Heath scored that goal ? Bloody hell, I need to move on, I've been haunted by that all this time.........

Not sure that applies when the keeper inquestion installs no bloody confidence in anyone in front of him.
