Saint Billy

Let's hope Kane is able!

All this pressing, hope we don't get caught by the sucker punch later on.

Wilshere is not much better, one amazing pass earlier on but now keeps giving possession away.

Agreed, I like him and he is a stalwart of the side but he received a lot of flak on here mid season for his poor performances and finishing. Glad he has signed but there are a few ahead of him that I am more anxious to sign extensions.

Can the black box determine if a underperforming player will respond better to a different manager?.

Yeh yeh, but does it have bluetooth?.

Perhaps we need to upgrade the black box to the bluetooth version.

Coming round to Pellegrini. I sat watching Spain and thought that their manager is no spring chicken but look what he has acheived!. These managers do seem to jump ship quickly where as Pellegrini might be more likely to recipricate the need for stability. If he does get the job it will be interesting so see what his backroom staff will be and whether he will use Sammy.

Agree with this wholeheartedly, his eyes do concern me!

Well at least we won in the end, still not impressed though. Although we applied loads of pressure I thought the final ball was absolutely dreadful. Air shots, woeful long range punts and lots of stray passing made us look distinctly average. It was like watching a bunch of players who hardly ever play together.......................oh!. I can't see teams like Germany losing any sleep witnessing that. It was a stuttering display which does not fill me with confidence.

Our we really surprised! Hodgson was always going to be our own worse enemy.

He hasn't exactly managed at the highest level has he?.

Your sounding a bit cynical Sog, I'm with you bro!.

Probably up someone else's mrs.

Not Rooney's biggest fan but he played well last night and what happens? the idiot substitutes him. Kane has a mare and yet he stays on with our most prolific goal scorer not getting a look in. Wilshere and Milner, oh please!! they shouldn't even be in the squad let alone being brought on to defend a lead.

Big question, does Rio dye his beard?.

Read a couple of weeks ago that some of the Russian fanbase were going for a brawl with the English. Sky briefly touched on it this morning stating that a small amount of Russians were involved but mainly focused on the English. I don't condone the thug mentality and our reputation does proceed us but the English aren't well liked generally and I believe they do get a certain amount of provocation.

Yes arrogant really.

Na, he's had a little feel without having full blowm sex which in my book is still unforgivable.

Why all this emphasis on Moyes for gods sake, we aren't seriously considering him are we?.

Great news, saw this as a rumoured possibility a couple of months back but never thought it was a goer. Excellent. Had Virgin cable and broadband a couple of years back and thought it was an awful service but to be fair Sky is not much better. In any case who gives a ****, the brand is well known and is much more credible than having Wonga on your shirt.

Very funny!!.

Gary Neville it is then.

Then it should be ' Saints/'s ' if we are talking about both.

Not bothered either way.
