East Kent Saint

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

Rangers actually win and up to third !

Celtic 73 % possession losing 3-1 ! Not sure new manager will be there long !

Strange results in the Championship today 😁

Classic any decent players snapped up by big clubs etc

I read that Pope had cost them a couple of games by rushing out the box and getting stranded etc , perhaps he was doing a Mccarthy and playing on injured ?

I'm not sure about that , Newcastle are giving him games after their No1 keeper let in a few goals but they may well buy another keeper . Plus if he doesn't get in the WC squad he may come back ?

Trump still insecure so gerrymandering in Texas etc to make sure they do well in the mid term elections or at least better than they might have done. As a regular visitor to USA I can report their inflation in the supermarkets is a lot higher than the UK , rents are higher and working conditions are a lot worse than UK. If you don't have top health ins with your job you get 2 weeks maternity leave !

Wake me up when the knockout stage starts ………..

Could have got a good rebound goal off his belly at least 😁

Yes he is , I’m happy ex Saints find their level and do well but he never did it for Saints so he is gash . Scoring in open play has become even more difficult in the Prem these days .

Totally unnecessary in my opinion , the ex owner should be taking a bigger hit , all he got was a 3 year ban from EFL clubs . Should be a lifetime ban plus fines .

Obviously bigging him up for the Jan window !
