East Kent Saint

Man U fans protested long and hard against the Glazer family all to no avail

On Motd it showed the defenders foot one side of the mowed grass line and the attacker over that line on the next patch so looked pretty offside to me ! As you say close but wasn’t VAR supposed to remove any doubt ?

They say he wasn't interested in the academy players and never watched any age group matches !

It was a bit of justice after Liverpool were given an offside goal by new VAR rule , even Wirtz thought he was offside , because he was . To compensate for VAR margins of error due to timing of when the ball was actually kicked etc there is a new 5cm tollerence applied if the two lines overlap so if this is the case the attacker has 5cm leeway so is given onside !!

Rumored to be coming back to Saints this window unless Everton come in for him , valued at £5.2 .

He was frozen out by Nuno from day one at WHU having had him on loan at Forest .

West Ham taking over Saints job of reviving duff teams 😄

3 0-0s in the Prem , similar shots on target stats ! must be NYE hangover 😄

Different league with 10 top class players around him including 2 top goalkeepers in the squad plus 37 yr old goal scoring machine up front 😄

His current performance and the fact he was slowing down at Saints a few years ago . If a miracle happens and he becomes a defensive stalwart I'll make a donation to charity 😁

Unfortunately he's past it 😁

As I remember he was let go by the club due to a genttlemans agreement ? He wasn't clapped out but as we know prem players can extend their playing career in european leagues . I'm not sure he will make in this Saints team !

He was already fading when he left Saints , why anyone thought he come back and be an asset a few years later is incomprehensible ! at best.

I agree that our managers have , once appointed and bedded in , are told to play 5 at the back , Baz , and work out from the back !

African Cup match Egypt v South Africa spoiled with a ridiculous VAR penalty given to Egypt on the stroke of half time , Salha losing out in the penalty area so goes down after the defenders hand brushed his head .

Wasn’t Ballard injured ? Or am I misremembering as usual 😀

Several ex Saints in action in the Prem yesterday, even Clyne for Palace ! Looking at Motd they didn't do very well . Couple of defensive errors lead to goals against WHU Fernandes and W Peters, Everton could have scored if Alcarez was on target . other players only got a mention when subbed !

Ballard saying that signing Xhaka has upped their game , he has got the team trying harder .

I don't disagree but in a few decades time , climate change permitting, the women's game may develop commercially ! As I'm 71 I probably will never know 😄

What are you talking about?

Well having been banned from playing football for so long the woman's game has alot of catching up to do before it gets anywhere near the men's game . There is a feeling that the men's game has been taken over by money , the love of money , corruption , poor leadership by FIFA , a disconnection from fans and what fans thought was their club , too many games due to expanding competitions , etc. Back in the 60's the men's game didn't mean you were set up for life financially so probably where the womens game is at the momment .

FA Cup win , I watched it so many times ! Then the 8-0 win at St Mary's we were all so happy as we left the ground such an uplifting experience, we of course had to suffer the latter years of getting a point at home was a victory! I don't think I'll get back to St Mary's now at my age but I will always remember the Dell matches and days out at St Mary's 😀

I'm not annoyed , just surprised he is not aiming higher . Perhaps his standing in the football world is lower than I thought !

Rogers meanwhile going for big final payday in Saudi ffs
