Gazza's pass was dreadful in any universe, regardless of the consequences. Even if he had played it neatly into Yoshida's feet he would have been facing the wrong way, under pressure from Dyer and would in all likelyhood just have ended up hoofing it over his shoulder. Never play a short pass out unless you are sure the guy is ready and in acres of space. Gazza clearly wasn't sure, he should have smashed it into the car park and dealt with (at worst) a throw in on the halfway line.

Perhaps he just found it in someone's handbag.

Thought this thread was going to be about a dodgy defensive clearance. With regards to the actual topic, why can't we have venders in the aisles selling hot food and soft drinks like the do in the US. Would take some of the load off the catering at HT.

I'm off for a lucky sh*t.

Ditto. Tattoos I can sometimes understand if you want to show your allegiance to a specific regiment etc. Some kind of badge of honour our whatever. I know I sound like I'm reading the headmaster's rule book here but when it comes to piercings I think it should be women only, one set of holes in the lower ear lobe. Anything else just looks sh*t. Tongues, eyebrows, belly buttons, noses, lips. Grown men with those big black 'spacers' in their ears in an effort to try and make as big a hole as possible... You're not a Fijian tribesman ffs! I've heard those tongue piercings are supposed to give better head but I've never been receiving oral pleasure from a lady and thought, 'Christ this is boring, when's Match of the Day on.'

I just don't get what's going through our players heads sometimes, as in Gazza's ball out to Yoshida. If you're going to play it short out to a defender you have to be absolutely feckin' certain there is nobody near him. If you're not, stick 60 yards on it then we can worry about a Swansea throw in on the half way line instead. It's one of the basics of football surely, if you're under pressure and can't see a pass, stick it in the car park and get yourself organised. It's the same with that Clyne/Fonte throw in against Wigan and several other goals we've shipped. I think Nigel's been feeding them some Dutch space muffins at half time. As a team we played quite well. An almost neutral fan I spoke to thought Cork ran the show but half the time we ignored him when in 20 yards of space. I'd agree he looked good, a definite improvement over Davis. Shaw I thought did no better or worse than Fox. He looked alright but was getting no help from the players in front of him a lot of the time. Overall I think we played alright but we were just a too slow and predictable in our build up. Hard to say on the penalty claims, especially Lallana's 'dive' at the other end of the pitch. If it was indeed a dive he needs a good slap because he should easily have scored from there. Christ knows we hardly had any clear cut scoring chances, if our players deliberately fall over rather than trying to take one they need a stern talking to. Positives from today - Ramirez and Cork look a different class to our other options. When fit and on the same wavelength as the rest I reckon they will be a force to be reckoned with. - We didn't go behind all game, for the first time this season - Pompey lost - I don't feel so bad about losing at Leeds anymore. It's clearly a very hard place to go and get a result.

That before picture is 2 different women surely? Hard to tell from such a small image but it looks like different women wearing a similar bikini. Being a bit of a young'n the first woman I can remember fancying is Jet from Gladiators. After a quick Google it turns out she's only 40, not all that minging and not particularly dead either. I'm fresh out of ideas.

The Brum game will always stick out in my mind. Jones scoring 2 goals in as many minutes against the league leaders after they had start stronger was just brilliant. When Skacel made it 3-0 three minutes later I could barely believe it. The Brum fans were going mental at Maik Taylor. Then Jones accidentally cleared his own hat trick off the line. He didn't know where the ball was until it bounced off the top of his head and out for a goal kick. DJ Campbell's looping header in injury time nigh on stopped my heart though. The only other ones which really stick out are the JPT games. Waigo's injury time equaliser against Norwich sent us all bananas, even though it was only the paint pot trophy. We won a couple of shootouts against Torquay and Norwich, then there was the MK Dons game which sent us to Wembley. We won 3-1 and our second goal was one of the funniest o.g.s I've ever seen. One MK defender hoofed the ball off the back of another and it bounced back into the net. All good midweek hi-jinks.

Which countries do rate having the hottest and ugliest birds

I probably would TBF. Got a thing for tall blonde birds. -
As a T-shirt it might have worked but they seem to be aiming for some kind of casual lounge wear. I'll stick to my face paints, red and white wig and jester hat thanks.

Did we buy the wrong striker from Burnley...
Lighthouse replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Saints
Yep. A bit like Rasiak and Le Fondre really. A good finisher but wouldn't get a look in against most Premier League defences. -

Which country is this handsome young lady representing? -
I think the ARP Warden is still kicking around too but that's it.

RIP. Loved watching (repeats of) Dad's Army when I was a kid and this was in the 90s. A true timeless classic and Jones was one of my favourite characters.

Hungary, Ukraine and the Baltic states have some pretty impressive tallents. At the other end of the scale you have UK, Germany and Belgium. -
Mine is 'squirrel'. F**king awesome word.

Another case of playing badly, so obviously the missing players are the answer. Hammond is slow and his passing is limited. If Morgan and Davis are having trouble getting a grip of this league, Hammond would get taken to the cleaners. I actually thought he was fairly limited at Championship level last season, despite the leadership he brings to the team.

Seeing as how we're constantly getting exposed down the flanks and Fox and Clyne are both better going forward than defending, how about playing something like this. If we are attacked down our left, Jos can come over and cover Fox meaning there is less pressure on Lallana to get back and defend. Likewise on the right with Fonte covering Clyne. We should deal with crosses and set pieces better having 3 centre halves in the team and hopefully when Cork gets back he will make a better fist of running the midfield than Davis and Morgan have managed so far. If he can cover the front of defence, it leaves Morgan free to get forward and play the ball to the front 3. Maybe I'm overthinking the issue but I think it would give the team a better balance. It can't be any worse than tonight surely. Going away from home with 4 all out attacking players is asking for trouble. - - - - - - - - - - - Gazza - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fonte - - - Yoshi - - - Hooiveld - - - - Clyne - - - - - - - Cork - - - - - - - - - - - Fox - - - - - - - - - - - Morgan - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gaston - - - - - - - - - - - Lallana - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Lambert - - - - - - - - - - -

We just need to be a bit calmer on the ball and not go in 2-0 down at the break. Davis has looked pretty sloppy in the middle and there is a lot of hoof from the centre halves.

Oh dear. I suspect we are in for a long evening.

Good grief. All but one of Queen's hits were outsold by Price Tag by Jessie Jay. I can understand kids buying Barbie Girl and Teletubbies, that doesn't bother me but Christ alive there is some garbage in that list. Matt Cardle is on there but nothing by the Beegees. Not sure what it is about Unchained Melody which made people buy 3 versions of it either. -
I think 6ft 6 Yevhen Khacheridi fits the bill. Here he is putting Andy Carroll on his arse at the Euros.
