Is that the Meghoma that was at Saints who went on loan to PNE? As i feel there was another player at Brentford with a similar name

Fair point but Flynn is a spoiler and that is never something that gets you international caps. The great Jimmy Case never got his fair amount of those either

All a matter of opinion, he did run around a lot ill give you that. JWP was a darling with a lot of fans foronereason and that was hs eyecatching free kicks, they have disappeared. I was not surprised when he said last season in an interview he doesnt practice them. Having no real strength or pace is a major hindrence, and that stopped his delelopment, aso having negative , safe managers also didnt help

IMHO Flynn is superior to JWP. Flynn is a ball winner and does not ty to do anything more, JWP does try to be a ball winner but not with the same ferocity

I dont think that's is correct StC, of course with modern day stats what constitutes a save its hard to tell where the stats come from lol

he was a good servant but for a few years nobody could work out his best postition, and a few managers were just as perplexed trying to fit him in. Spectacular free kicks put him in a different bracket, but generally he was tidy but uninspiring with his play. Yes he worked really hard but his pace was a big problem, and sadly his first thought was to go sideways or backwards, not in a positive direction forward. I understand some would be down to the managers he played under, the all seemed a breed of not losing the ball and not to take risks. If he did come back I would of course accept it but there is no way he could justify 100k a week wages that apparently he is on now.

Its like reading Shakespeare, I do agree

Aplayer is about to shoot 'Maguieeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr' at the top of his voice, as the ball enters row Z

Dont be unkind, you know he was better than Messi the way he says how it should have been done lol

Sugagawa ducked as though he was fearful of getting hit, my god if Chaplin had scored!!!

Yep and that was enough for me, I want the refresh that seems to be on the cards. Whilst there is still a lot of playing around the back, there does seem to be a more, lets get it into the box or shoot policy. Going back to the sideways backwards football that JWP provided and Im not keen. It still amamazes me that when the one time JWP was given a more attacking role he looked fantastic away at Everton, scoring 2 goals. Then never again, it was incredible. I cant recall what manager was in charge, but it did seem the way to get the best from him.

It may be wishful thinking to you/others but to me Im quite happy having JWPfree team. Im tired of seeing the ball recycled more that a Durex at a Bonnie Blue bang thanks very much

I ownder if the new goalkeeping coach has been instramental is giving him an extra confidence/swagger again. It is important that he does become a top keeper. Obviously a keeper is always one mistake away from being seen as the worst in a clubs history lol

Of course we also bought him with the view of selling him for a large profit, not to just play him for the rest of his career

To this day Japan has not apologised for their actions. Despicable. There was an antique/secondhand dealer who was a survivor of the Jap camp, he had the foresite to around the camp in the early days and get all the paper books he could find and sold it as toilet paper as the dysentry took hol. The proceeds he could buy stuff to survive off the guards

Hes a wobber and a wogue

He is brilliant in my book. He does his best and really whats the point of the press conference as the managers are always guarded or unwilling to spill the beans. Crikey under Ted Bates etc you only got a quote one a mnth , or so it appeared. Our only source was the Echo and a signing was done before anybody knew and so more exciting

Even if clubs want to keep a player to build the agents manipulate things so that a move is made. So difficult even the big clubs have players unsettled by others. It seems the CL is such a draw and so players want to gravitate to there

Wonderful thank you. His goalscoring record was something in that promotion run. Being there at Orient was some night, old Fred Dineage having to go through a torrid time as he had to walk past the Saints fans to climb onto the gantry lol. A wall collapsed at full time and luckily no major injuries ( my brother in the crush) as fans rushed to get on the pitch

Funnily enough I was thinking about Tony Funnels contribution when we went up in 78. I also wondered what happened to him as he never quite made it.

SHould have been TD but thats what happens when you rush as other things going on

Personally I wouldnt play him as TD may not do himself justice or get injured. No doubt the Ipswich players may target him so that he cant be sold to strengthen us this season.

'For the time being' is the point, means they will be back

The private jet that was waiting at Southampton airport ready to fly to Liverpool for TD seems to have an engine problem as it never seemed to go lol

I feel really sorry for him, he is a broken man
