  1. Just a gut instinct but this doesn't really 'feel' like a terrorist attack. A lone woman, obscure location, low number of casualties, turned the gun on herself... doesn't fit the usual profile.
  2. Going to vote Clasie, just to make a point. I want to embarrass this lot. A shambolic lack of desire and bottle, you can't JUST blame the manager when there've been three of them.
  3. Just for sh*ts and giggles. Stephens - Cranie - That academy defender, who sort of looked alright for a brief period last year but clearly isn't a 1st choice PL player Austin - Pahars - If only he'd stayed fit, we might not be in this mess. Cedric - Kenton - He's got good pace but I'm not sure what else he does. Carrillo - Bernard - Why in the name of f**king f**k did we sign him?! Tadic - Lundekvam - He's been good for a few seasons, so why has he absolutely bottled it now. Hoedt - Davenport - We quite obviously needed an experienced CB, instead we got this guy. Lemina - Squashie - Is he a battling midfield dynamo or a headless chicken? Not sure.
  4. Interesting (It was a genuine question BTW). When I lived in Bristol, St Paul's was notorious for stabbings among the Somali gangs. Hopefully it's not on the rise.
  5. San Diego also has Sea World, depends on their views on the whole Blackfish thing TBH.
  6. 1. There isn't a toxic atmosphere at St Mary's. If anything it's apathetic and resigned. 2. Most of the blocks will remain closed off to save costs as they are expecting low interest in this match. 3. I don't want to go, the standard will be far worse than an U23s game, which I also wouldn't choose to watch.
  7. San Diego, 100%. Brilliant city. My girlfriend regularly visits LA regularly with work. You can do the whole Venice Beach, Hollywood Hills bit but most of LA's a dump.
  8. What a daft conclusion to draw from such a tiny data sample. In 2 cities of over 8,000,000 people, there were 4 more murders in London in February and 1 more in March. Any evidence to support the theory that the increase is down to inter-racial violence?
  9. That's exactly what we did do with Stephens. What are you suggesting, we give a slightly worse U23 CB a run out and hope that works better. People cry out for the youth team to be given a chance because they will try and can't possibly be worse than the first team. What we have now is Martin Cranie 2.0.
  10. On another note, what an embarrassment Arsenal's support is. Saints fans are calling each other snowflakes for not wanting to watch the last 2 years of abysmal football and yet Arsenal fans apparently think 6th in the League, a cup final and a Europa League QF is so far beneath them they're not even turning up.
  11. West Ham were without Carroll and Hernandez and Antonio hobbled off after 7 minutes but still put 3 past us by half time. This team isn't even trying, I really don't think we've got any straws to clutch. Even if Palace and Udders lose ALL their remaining games, I still think we will finish behind them.
  12. I want to say yes. I've had some amazing times as a Saints fan, both at home and away and met some great people as far away as Dubai and Latvia. I can deal with the ups and downs, relegation and promotion. Where I struggle is losing to big clubs and having to listen to their smug, cocky fans. Nothing more irritating than listening to some Bristolian kn*bhead gloating about how his team in Manchester beat mine because a Chinese banker spent the cost of a Eurofighter Typhoon on some Portuguese midfielder with a sh*t haircut and history of sex offenses. That's the worst thing, the whole soulless feel of the place. That's all we are now, an investment for a banker to keep his money away from the Chinese government. I don't have the heart to go to games anymore and I'm not sure I'd want to inflict the same on my children/grandchildren. That said, you can spend over £50 watching Miley Cyrus miming for a couple of hours, so someone's going to con them out of their money eventually.
  13. I'd go 4-3-3. Sims and Tadic playing off Gabbi. Hoj, Lem and Rom in the middle.
  14. That's like saying Cedric has been awful recently, so we were wrong to get rid of Martina. 5 League goals, whoop-de-doo.
  15. This. Our build up play was appalling, just hoofing it anywhere up the pitch. They weren't even hoofing it at him in the vain hope that he'd win it in the air and hold play up, it was just smack it over the halfway line and that'll do. Which sitters did we miss? Admittedly I only bothered with the first half but I don't remember getting any meaning full possession in the right post code to get a shot away.
  16. Cheaper tickets next year.
  17. Done! Good night.
  18. Aimless hoofing, this is absolutely f**king dreadful.
  19. Of f**k off, this is just awful!
  20. He's never really been an aerial predator and isn't especially tall. Not saying he isn't a threat but if a 5'11 bloke is having a field day in the air, it's really a bad day. Personally I'm just happy Carroll, Hernandez and Collins are missing. Also, their bench is dreadful.
  21. Liking that, glad Gabbi is now back in favour. To think that Muppet MoPe preferred Long and Carrillo.
  22. I think Putin is more than happy with the situation, it's straight out of the dictator's handbook. Chapter 1: Find a foreign enemy to galvanise the population and distract everyone from domestic social and economic issues. He doesn't actually want a fight, he's basically doing what Kim is doing. I'm guessing the British government have some pretty strong evidence, as we don't really have anything to gain from a false flag operation. I'm sure the Kremlin are more than capable of having spies bumped off but that's not to say they don't make mistakes occasionally.
  23. Hoedt is better than Stephens. Not amazing but better. Bonus points for the way Diouf stamped on his foot, so he came back 5 minutes later and put him in hospital. I think Yoshida has a couple of goals against the Hammers too, so I’d have those two given choice.
  24. Long, Austin, Carrillo, Boufal, Gardos, Pied, Forster, Clasie, Davis.
  25. Boruc Clyne - VVD - Toby - Bertrand Morgan - Vic Mané - Lallana - Rodriguez Pelle Hard to leave out so many players, so my second string would be (when in good form of course) Forster Cedric - Fonte - Lovren - Shaw Lemina - Romeu Gabbi - Davis - Tadic Lambert
