Interesting. If Mills can take a mean corner, and Holmes cannot, that would reverse my preference for Holmes.

How about observing reports from others ? and why did you ignore the first half of that sentence ?

He learns how to take a corner without wasting it ?

Ah, another stalker returns.

So now my name gets dragged into the discussion and I get slated even when I've condemned the thread. Sweet...

Really, really, really tedious. I have seen Schneiderlin play on a few occasions, and one can make observations without being physically present. Why dont you give it a rest ?

Who is comparing them with Premiership players ?

Wow, spot on. I hadnt noticed that. Good observation.

What a crap thread. People judging Papa after 15minutes, whilst giving the likes of Schneider-can-pass-the-ball-when-he-feels-like-it-but-sod-all-else-lin and Lall-cant-hit-a-corner-to-save-his-life-ana every single game to prove their worth. You couldnt make it up...

Wow, someone else who thinks all our problems lie in midfield. Excellent..

Pleased and relieved. And a little concerned that we were reliant on penos and didnt score from open play. Maybe next week that will come...

Stop being silly. We've gone two-ahead for the first time this season. If you cannot see the significance of that, I pity you. Great news.

I thought it came out later that none of them did it ?

Something we've singularly failed to do this season against illustrious names such as Stockport County.

This is getting so f**king annoying...

Is it stating the bleedin' obvious to say WE NEED TO SCORE A SECOND ???

Dear oh dear. Someone please point out in my post where I indicated the defensive strengthening was all down to Downes and nothing to do with Pardew...

But not by far the strongest we could put out. No width except Lallana, who cannot even cross from a dead ball.

The one truly successful thing that has come about since the takeover is the complete transformation of our defensive line-up and strength. Its a real pity it is continually undermined by a w*nk midfield.

Pompey havent gone to the wall, and are still in the Premiership, so I am not really sure what point it is you are making... I hope SOGGY has taken note of your comments about bringing Woodward up.

A 1-0 win for Saints, or 0-0. Dont think we will lose, tbh.

Sneered yourself right into a corner, havent you ?

Exactly. Lowe thought he could substitute paying for a number of decent players by paying for one sports psychologist and somehow would unlock some sort of subconscious enhancement in ability in the poor players available as a result. As for the quality of sports pyschology, he may well be a household name, but all he did for the Rugby was assemble a team of others to do the work. Even if Lowe's cheapskate theory had any merit to it, he appointed the wrong person in SCW, since the team performances would all be about him than the team itself.

Far, far, far too much balance and common sense for these parts, my friend...

Is this crap really necessary ?
