East Kent Saint

Sounds familiar , player thinks he has a gentleman’s agreement to leave , club start briefing against him , player has fit (Morgan) but stays another season but career peters out . Other player has fit and forces move , career gets better (VVD) . Well roughly ! No one knows what Kane has been promised but it could backfire and he is stuck with Spuds .

Manchester City will end their pursuit of Tottenham striker Harry Kane, 27, if they sign England team-mate Jack Grealish, 25, from Aston Villa. (Manchester Evening News)

It was reported a few days ago that he would be missing the start of the season due to recovery time after the Euros but it didn't say who he wouldn't be starting for !

But an unsettled player may be going through the motions until his season is clear . I think he has played for us several times below 100% fitness but he would a good member of our squad this season .

1986 hmmmm ! It seems other leagues in Europe don’t think it’s too old for a season or two !

He could be the first teams Ollie !

Hmmm Cahill out of contract , can head the ball and experienced , no fee , …..

It showed how bad the pitches were , no grass in goalmouths and endless divots filled with sand at WHL . BTW Spurs beat WHU after the most blatant dive by spuds bloke Alfie ? ! Wouldn’t happen now with VAR Ha Ha !

Liverpool v Sunderland now

Even Billionaire owners of large companies in China have just been sentenced to 10 years or so for “being argumentative and disrespectful “ . He sided with the “wrong people “ who criticised the dictators , so this is not a joke , it’s very real . I see Abromavich has been mentioned as buying Chelsea at the behest of Putin , which is being denied but remember the World Cup in Russia where Putin told the press in front of him that they would be paying for it.

Wallet lifting exercises 😃

His motivation was approval by the dictators in charge to invest in football and get a toe in the money go round with the kudos of football success , they decided that too much money was being exported from China so blocked money transfers . GAO then had to fund the purchase of Saints by borrowing money outside of China . He is now in a bind . The dictators are suggesting that selling at a loss would be a loss of face so Gao could well end up in prison if he does sell out. You couldn’t make it up but it is how it is so we are stuck .

I think he was responding to the Chinese dictatorship that encouraged such investment, they then decided it had gone over the top with ridiculous amounts of money being ploughed in with no benefit . Now if GAO sells up he may be targeted for making the Dictators look foolish and end up in prison as a result so he is trapped …

Quite , they all should have the choice, the Norwegian softball team were fined for wearing shorts not bikini bottoms in the recent beach softball competition. This sexism should be eradicated from sport before people make the link between ISIS or the Taliban and OUR treatment of women.

Having been “forced” to watch gymnastics In Tokyo I thought being a judge would be ideal for MLG . They get docked 0.2 points for “not fully extending the foot “ or “ not quite raising the leg high enough to be as high as the head” etc ! I struggle to watch without feeling like a perv , hopefully the women will be allowed to wear body suits in future , I remember the total disgrace Blatter saying women footballers should wear tight shorts to make their games more appealing, spew …

I think we can accept light hearted comments on here without going over the top !

Snobbily ? I’m sure a few Saints fans would like a proven centre back to sort the defence out . No myth at all you just can’t resist being contrary then introducing another tangent to distract from your over reaction.

The WHU tag is because despite all their bluster they ended up signing older “proven” players . I can see why Moyes might have a soft spot for him though , a bit of a Walcott signing Ha Ha .

You forgot about him for good reason !

Rule 1 : Don’t feed the troll ! (No not “No Pooftas”)

He didn't want to stay here first time round , he wouldn't have come back her either !

The youngsters are getting the Pfizer jab instead of the AZ

We already have a divided society , it has always been that way . If you are rich and privileged you can behave how you like , the rest of us just have to suck it up . You can buy a passport to most countries these days if you are rich enough . You can fly to America and back during Covid if you have the privilege , ie people like Farage ! You can stash all you millions in an off shore tax haven in a blind trust if you are the Chancellor of the exchequer , you can buy a £50M flat in London registered to an off shore trust and avoid council tax if you are rich enough . If you sit on the govt committee looking after the betting industry you can get free £3000 hospitality tickets to the Euro matches or £1000 tickets to Wimbledon!

Well as long as only every other seat is used for social distance and we all promise not to cheer the team as it could spread Covid it should be alright …. Esp in our usual seats in the Kingsland .

Even Kane isn’t starting the season apparently!
