Saint Billy

I moved away from Soton about 20 years ago but long before that I remember going to La Margaritas next to the Gaumont when it first opened. I remember it being full so they took me and my then mrs into a back room which was being used as a front room/lounge by an elderly couple with a big smelly dog, they spoke little english but were very friendly and they gave us a free drink. I used to love eating there, the place was always buzzing and the waiters were always laughing and joking, plus it introduced me to how a proper pizza should taste. A great place with a cracking atmosphere back then.

I miss big Ron.

Didn't see that coming! !

More confused than chuckling, but I do think people are outraged far to quickly these days. Question, are these guys actually supporting Evans or are they demonstrating against him, perhaps we should know the answer to this before we start throwing ourselves off Millbrook Towers.

Pirlo of Italy has been for many years playing for an underperforming Italian side but his performances have stood out head and shoulders above everyone else. In most cases Gerrard has performed as badly as the rest of his England team mates. Yes he is a tryer and yes he does score the odd scorcher and penalty but world class he is not. Just because he played in the 5-1win against Germany and was in the Liverpool CL winning side does not change anything for me, I remember more the many average performances for England, the crazy fouls and sending off's and his numerous stray passes. The guy has not overly shined in what has been a very crap England side.

Agree with that, I even suggested that on here and got hounded. I have never got the nations love in for Gerrard, all I ever see in my mind is him apologising for a poor England performance.

Toby and Bertrand need to be kept at all cost, lose those two and we are half the side we are atm.

I'd take Rhodes, a bit like Lambert in his prime and a good scoring record.

Definite penalty for Chelsea but hey ho that's footy. I thought we did well especially with a make shift back line although we did ride our luck in the last half hour. My main concern is that we cannot seem to roll over the so called bigger teams and we tend to play them with a fear factor.

The country will no doubt grind to a halt and mass panic will ensue with 4 inches of snow.

Sickening just sickening!.

Whoops, apologies for the spelling, too much xmas libation!

That is my concern. Our these type of characters ever tamable?.

Sounds like a poor mans Balotelli

Great result, had a sneaking feeling Ronald would sort it out and get a win today. Well done Ron and team.

I haven't seen anyone praise him recently, I think most on here are shrewd enough to realise that Tadic is a quality player from his earlier displays but right now it is not happening. Whats your problem with that?.

Tadic has clearly suffered from a big dip in form so the obvious course of action is to rest him for a game or two rather than hope for him to play himself back to form and all the consequences that could bring. Why this has turned into a Tadic v Lallana debate is f*cking ridiculous. Imo it's good to see Ronald being proactive in sorting an obvious problem rather than risking it will correct itself.

Here we go, here we go, here we go!!

Man City in the frame so forger it, not that there was much chance anyway.

Is this the first sign of anti ronald sentiment. ........oh dear.

Its saints, too early for any prediction!

The main reason we are now losing is that sides have now wised up to the threat of Tadic and Pele. They were an unkown quantity but now their threat has been dealt with we are struggling. Tadic has been almost anonymous which has meant that Pele has been starved of supply. I think the only way to sort this to some extent is to switch it about a bit during the game positionally so as to make it a bit more tricky for the other side. Ronald must buy in Jan as our bench is far far too weak, we have no impact players at all to come on.

Not on your nelly!

God our corners are so sh!t
