  1. Oh ok, I saw it on a news ffed I think, but that could easily be one taken from Twitter
  2. If the opposition didnt have so many attempts on target we wouldnt perhaps let so many in. The top keepers play behind some of the best defenders in the world and dont get tested as much, they make some great saves of course but dont have so many opportunities to cock up. We have adequate keepers who are on top wages. Forster is on monster wages and so we cant shift him. Ralph believes more in McCarthy and so chooses him, I saw we were interested in Mignolet perhaps he may be brought in
  3. Loyalty bonus, what a load of tosh that any pro footballer gets one. The only reason they stay at the club as they are bang average and so nobody knocks on the door for them lol
  4. obviously the master of all football knowledge. When you get questioned about an opinion you just guide the critic to this
  5. Thank you Duncan, Ia clever heads up I hope
  6. He obviously doesnt appreciate Evertons history and the dugouts.
  7. I listened to it as well, it was encouraging apart from the social media stuff lol
  8. I know there is little chance but I notice there is still talk of grimes of Swansea being looked at by clubs, I do hope we are one of them

    Danny Ings

    Hes found his spiritual home I expect
  10. Public House surely lol
  11. Ahh this is easy then, we can be the new Lennon and McCartney. Lyanco is a donkey, he hates Pompey
  12. To be fair its an upgrade on 9
  13. Has any song that has been proposed on here ever been taken up???? My next door neighbour is a Liverpool fan, imagine his excitement when his song 'If its good enough for you' was taken up by the KOP
  14. I would expect a good agent in the light of the Kane saga have a buy out price.
  15. I thought /hoped we were going for the Forest centre half. Seemed the right type for us
  16. I agree, all the time and effort the club takes in trying to get new supporters to our fanbase is eroded by defeats like saturday and the kids heroes keep moving on. My family are like many on here been persuaded to support saints, but there are more who would rather like happy weekends and so support the top 3 or 4 clubs

    Afghanistan

    Yes I know about the bluff etc, but we capitulated a lot down to fear. We fought very hard in time and bravely read about Kohima but the point is,that it is ok us saying to the average Afghan you should have fought, but in certain circumstances we wouldn't either.

    Afghanistan

    It was just not Malaya. Airpower in all theatres is paramount, had the US still been there using that force the taliban would not have made their gains IMO. Truth is that similar to Vietnam once the US were ready to go the people who helped them were thrown to the wolves. Politicians are only worried about their standing and so forget the real victims. It saddens me to think of those poor people in fear of their lives and how the young girls whole lives are likely to be suppressed.

    Afghanistan

    They are not still hillfighters with muskets, they are armed pretty well by the Russians and Chinese plus anything they get that has been left behind. It was the air power tht was the big difference

    Afghanistan

    Its impossible to say, the modern professional army yes but a conscript army perhaps not , just look how the Japanese walked through us in WWII with low morale and the cry of 'Here come the Japs' and how we disintegrated. The fear of the barbaric hoards coming at you would weaken resolve in most
  21. You are JWP's biggest fan/relative and so rightfully always pump him up. White is not worth 50m in my opinion, but he got into the final England squad instead of JWP and so perhaps would make him more valuable. I think you put that JWP is on a mere 50K pw, I suggest that he may be easier to prise away if his wages are going to jump. If I was a player with ambition I wouldn't stay here as you would see all the quality being ripped out around you and is bound to deflate
  22. Your post shows how futile being a Saints fan is. We can hope to stay up and just be the cannon fodder for the top boys. The football season comes around and my mood slips to a depressed state as all I expect is more of Saturdays disappointment. In the past I would hopeful that we could steal or deserve a win, now all Im hoping for is that we dont lose by more than 4.

    Afghanistan

    I tell you what, if the Taliban were around the corner over here and our army was disintegrating we would be running away. Dont think our society now would stand up and fight them.

    Afghanistan

    Imagine all the children who have actually known a type of freedom. They have never known the rule of the taliban and now will be ( if they keep to form) unable to play together. The girls will be wrapped up and not be able to join society as they had before. Simplistic, perhaps but it is a shame on us in the west, not to protect those people who had embraced change. My thoughts are with the young of Afghanistan, I truly hope my fears are unfounded
  25. RIP brilliant funny man
