MoPo last 18 - how many without Lovren, Boruc, or Wanyama ? And you can hardly count Sam G as a differential between the 2.

What exactly would you want them to do ? Ukraine is effectively 2 countries due to the distribution of the major population groups, and the ethnic Russian citizens will always look to Moscow before they look to Kiev. The situation harks back to Stalin's regime and his forced resettlements.

Suarez conned the ref but Fonte made it easy for him to do so.

The GP wasn't asked - mind you, given the evidence of so many others, it probably wouldn't have made any difference to ATOS's decision if he had been.

"Dr Ward, from Bampton Medical Practice, said he had not been contacted by either Atos or DWP about Mr Wood’s medical history, and revealed that if they had asked for his professional opinion he would have said Mr Wood was unfit for work. "

If it's Saints in the EPL this season I'll take it.

We're going a bit off topic here, but following the epigenetics trend - another link to a discussion of identical twins that shows how their DNA, identical at conception, may be varied by external factors : http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/twins/

Isn't that still more than the Skates took to Wigan in the PL ?

You're getting as depressive as Alps. Man up !

So it's as well we garnered enough points in the earlier games to put any possibility of relegation out of the question. If we continue at 1 point per game we''ll have 50 points at the end of the season.

Over the last 16 EPL games we are 12th on form, over the last 10 we are 8th, over the last 6 we are 8th. ( Over the last 27 games we are 9th ). Before the WHU game our league form was WDDWDW. I'm OK with that.

See post #37. I wasn't aware that the only responses permitted had to agree with the OP. If that is the case you should have made it a statement rather than an enquiry, ( much in the style of 110PerSaint's pathetic wind-up threads ).

Taken after a Saints win.

Probably because many posters will look at the title, and the fact that you initiated the thread immediately after a disappointing result, and will simply pass by without commenting. It's the sort of thread that attracts a disproportionate number of a posters with a certain reputation or agenda.

[h=2]Would You Care If Pochettino Left Tommorow?[/h]Yes - if only because I don't think there's a suitable replacement at present and it would be the guarantee that our season has ended. As it stands I am confident that we can beat LFC, and do not share the view that finishing 8th is 'nowhere'.

Glasgow goes quiet and then 5 minutes later 110% turns up...........

Our 'first choice' 11 were not available.

As Nick G's excellent post ( above ) points out : Cork was benched to let Wanyama play - MoPo's preferred option Boruc would not have made any difference to the one goal we conceded - unlikely any keeper would have stopped it Fonte injured ( I see no reason to doubt the club's assessment, though some apparently do despite the pictures ) So the only one that possibly looks odd is JWP for Morgan - and he's played more games in the PL than most.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26261696 "However, the Bank's governor, Mark Carney, said the recovery so far had been 'neither balanced nor sustainable' and required continued support. Experts have raised concerns that improvements are too dependent on consumer spending." "Mr Osborne stressed that 'as well as reasons to be cheerful, there are also reasons to be careful". 'The recovery is not yet secure and our economy is still too unbalanced.'"

Pretty much this.

So, in summary, is this 'cost cutting', ( which to me implies external budgetry pressure ), or just choosing to stop spending on something we no longer need, ( allowing us to potentially direct the funds elsewhere ) ?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26226975 Manager Mauricio Pochettino made six changes for the tie, but Shaw said the players were to blame for the 1-0 loss. "We're sorry to the fans who travelled all that way to see a disappointing display like that," he said. "The manager had faith to switch the team and the players should have done better." "I'm devastated. I wanted to win the FA Cup and so did every other player. " ""It is very disappointing. We wanted to win the FA Cup this year and thought we had a great chance, but that's cup football .." ( Sorry if this has been brought into the various other threads discussing the FA Cup exit )
