Should have expanded on that, the reason he was off balance was because of Young knocking against his hip, hence people are saying he was already going down. That on it's own wouldn't be a foul but standing on his foot is. I've seen plenty of dives where the attacker threw his leg out sideways to make contact and bought a penalty but this wasn't one of those. His foot was planted on the floor when the foul happened. It was clumsy from JT and it was a definite foul.

The cringiest moment for me was when they played at Wembley, didn't open the upper tier, basically gave away most of the tickets, half of them didn't turn up and claimed they had "sold out Wembley," because all available tickets had been sold.

It's a penalty. Young knocks him off balance and Tarkowski stands on his foot. It might not have been deliberate but it's still a foul.

Tarkowski stood on his foot before he went down. It's a penalty. It may not have been obvious on first viewing but it was a foul.

Depends entirely on the age of the person you're asking. For example nobody under 50 is going to remember much of Emlyn Hughes, nobody under 40 Kenny D, nobody under 30 Ian Rush etc. I could name these players but if someone asked for a Liverpool player who stuck out in my mind it would be Gerrard.

He's the only one of our current strikers I actually want to keep. Hopefully he has a decent run in the side and sticks around. He's Austin, not Van Nistelrooy.

I'd sell Boufal anyway, personally.

It’s never stopped Nasri or Firminho.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43508584 Southgate saying we need to get our own house in order before pointing the finger at Russia, RE: racism in football. He seems to be comparing a handful of racist troll tweets and instagram comments (probably by 12 year old chavs who think they're being hilarious) with a litteral army of white supremacist, trained, 'professional' hooligans in Russia.

You do know that not every thread has to be about your love for Steven Davis?

Nope. If Janet, or any other women, have a problem with that then why not apply for a job in the warehouse?

What Is The Most Amazing Place In The World That You Have Been Too

That's one of those places I've always imagined as being ruined by fat, gobby American tourists wearing sandals with socks TBH. -

I think my favourite cities are San Diego, Stockholm, Tallinn and Riga. Oslo and Copenhagen are good too, although the former especially is pretty expensive. Annecy in France is gorgeous. Was in Lodz recently, which is one of the less touristy Polish cities. Not much to do other than drink but for some that's enough. Went to Jeddah even more recently. The old town had a certain charm and the street vendors were less forceful than those in other places, like Egypt. The Grand Canyon is pretty spectacular and some of the surrounding areas, like Flagstaff and Sedona are nice too. -
I would hope the board aren't deluded enough to think this but as you say, they did it with Stephens, so you could well be right. If Les thinks that a defence of Cedric, Hoot, Stephens and Targett will so anything other than battle relegation next season (even assuming we did stay up this year) then lord help us.

I'd agree with this and it seems to fit our transfer model. It'll mainly be a mixed of up and coming players who wont get a look in at big clubs (Bertrand, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Lemina) and promising players who aren't ready yet, from foreign leagues (Virgil, Mané, Boufal). As for outs, I'd sell Forster, Davis, Long, Austin, Boufal, Carrillo and Clasie.
-
It doesn't have to be two up top, old school Mike Bassett style but at least one of the three in behind the main striker has to be in the mindset of getting into the box and having a pop. When we had Lambert, it was Jay Rod. When we had Pelle it was Mané. Now we could have Austin and Gabbi, or even Gabbi and Sims.

My girlfriend is Polish, says the country is full of Ukrainians looking for work. Gives you an idea of how desperate many of them are. In other Georgian/Ukrainian news, did anyone else see this video a few days ago?

Our best 3 signings since returning to the premier league

It wasn't overshadowed, Pelle's goal was better. -
Our best 3 signings since returning to the premier league
Lighthouse replied to ChiefScummer's topic in The Saints
Depends if we're talking the best or most important to us, as there seems to be a bit of overlap here. The best: 1. Aderweireld - Absolute class from start to finish. Gutted it was only a loan, could we really have had him and Virgil if he had stayed? 2. Virgil - Absolute beast. Pace, strength, technique and ( until he got Vardy'd) incredible fitness. 3. Mané - Unplayable on his day, ripped some top teams apart but too many lazy/it's too cold days IMO. The most important: 1. Boruc - We'd never have stayed up with Kelvin or Gazza in goal. 2. Davis - Added some key experience, leadership and bravery which helped keep us up and has been a fantastic long term servant. 3. Lovren - Such a massive improvement on our leaky defenders at the time and signaled a move from relegation fighters to top half perennials. -
Two games against Chelsea, which is more important?
Lighthouse replied to OttawaSaint's topic in The Saints
Nope, I would want the board to have learned from their mistakes, sell a bunch of players such as Davis, Long, Austin, Carrillo, Boufal and Clasie, then reinvest the money (plus that from Van Dijk) wisely in some decent players and a long term manager. If we go down, players like Carrillo will be way above our station. Think about that for a while. -
It was one brutal political ideology defending itself against an opposing brutal ideology, which had attacked first. We happened to be on the side of one and not the other. Neither were right.

Probably not. The point here is that his gender doesn’t play any part in it but that is how the issue is being portrayed. What’s really going on is that McEnroe’s agent/manager has managed to convince the BBC he’s good television and worth tuning in for, more convincingly than Navratilova’s agent. To put an even stupider outlook on things; it would be like saying Everton pay Rooney more than Oumar Niasse, therefor the Everton boardroom must be full of racists.
