Ah but it said Townsend was very upset being left out of the 18man squad. He will be squeezed out if they can trump up a deal.

Welbeck linked with Everton, I assume Matinez has not looked on here to see a proper run down on his ability lol

I get your point, I haven't heard of the unrealistic targets a couple of weeks ago! That is a reflection of my lack of World football, but I would prefer us to go for British targets

Is it right that we are flying this man back at enormous cost and an unknown health risk? This man took it on himself and without any second thought recklessly put himself at risk. Yes it was a very human gesture, but surely he should have gone through an official agency. The financial cost to our nation as well as putting others health at risk is irresponsible IMO. Where will it end? any other. British national who gets the virus will expect the same I assume

:smug::smug: don't worry. I have a subscription of the Portsmouth News just to read the deaths column

I've read that nonsense before, if you have a brain and personality (when I say 'you' I mean in general) it does effect you however much you earn. Nobody wants not to be liked and criticism hurts. It is bravado to say it doesn't

Fuller and Crouch were also given a tough time by the morons. It also came at a time when the fans felt cheated by not replacing top players leaving with unknown or lesser quality

jay rod has been talking about going to Spurs for a long time, before the season finished. That is according to someone who is doing work for him

I agree Pelle needs time, and the morons who make a quick judgement on him need to give him some space

I was talking about under MP , I have not seen or heard of our new style of play

The atmosphere was bound to be poor. In the main the fans are p####d off and it is hard to be upbeat about playing WBA

That's a shame, if inMay we were told on here you could have Long for 16m or Welbeck for 15 m I doubt many would have voted for Long. It is madness, we could have tied him in on the Shaw deal.

I al ways find the Plan B thing a nonsense. The 3 best teams in my lifetime who were successful played the same way until the final whistle. don Revies. Leeds, Liverpool in the 80s and Man Utd. They believed in their system and kept going until the final whistle, hence their late goals to win matches. MP played a fantastic system for us, but needed some more personnel to just make us that little better

The catalyst of this was NC leaving. I seem to recall he was unsettled quite sometime before there was talk of not being given investment and so may have served his notice. Of course this is only my view and I have no proof. that event started the rest of the dominoes to fall. The players rightly or wrongly went with the dream and were on board. We were only 2or 3 players from being a really good side. As for players leaving, yes I think some still would have gone eg Shaw. RL may have also but his obvious love of our club would still made him think twice, even though it is Liverpool. He was at the early part of our rise back and perhaps may have liked to been there for even more. Many of the posters n here may dislike Cortese but MP and the majority of the squad did and they bought into the way we were going . Watch Spurs playing their good passing football yesterday did make me regret how things have panned out, it should still be us playing that game good on the eye

Watching Spurs yesterday ,you can see them developing already. MS will still want to be a part of it IMO.

not always. Football is opinions and so different people rate different players. If they are wearing a Saints shirt. I won't boo them.

The man in your avatar would have kept him

why does it have to be written ? She changed the set up at the top, and there was a change of direction.

when you have RVP and Rooney taking all the best space and their individual glory , his stats are not that bad.especially with the way Utd were last season. He is as good a star player we will ever buy now

Bloody iPad, I try and press a thread and it goes to view a posters profile! So many on here must think I'm stalking them as I visit their profile page lol. As for the predictive stuff, how it can ever predict the c### I put up ,

Olson is a decent defender, he has kept many good attackers in his pocket over the years.

Do you honestly believe Galagher will become a better player than Welbeck?

so the stance we took with MS could not be replicated ?

it seems to me the owner is downsizing, had she not changed the clubs direction, it could have been different of course. we are her plaything and so have to put up with it as it is her inheritance.

Ok thanks, I will need that one, on many occasions in the future
