we have a few grudge games, well the fans will Harry, MP, and Liverpool

is our football suited to Hernandez style of play?

thats the sad thing of all this, the pride that we were mainly an English team/squad is potentially going to be swept away in a matter of weeks.

he is at the top of his game now, we have had the best of him IMo and let us use the money to help strengthen our club. I will wave him goodbye and wish him well, but I have a feeling he will be like Mick Channon, not quite fitting in at the top table and not finding his form again til he came home. AL undoubtably has great feet and mind, but it drives me mad that a footballer with a 15m pricetag can hardly kick a ball at pace, let alone head the damned thing

Lol, of course the players who went quiet about a week ago are now going to rebel in. There's no way in the world that the club have given them the go ahead. If the 3 stay then I will be happy to be wrong although Iwill be a bid disappointed if we don't sell AL for the decent fee.

Romany market, quite apt

I felt no pride of a Saints player coming on as an England player the other night. It just didn't feel right

the pictures shows how misguided the newspaper is. That man is so responsible so many of today's problems not only in our homeland

IF we he got the first goal or been ahead in the second half, then you would have seen a much different game and the passing percentages a lot different. Italy did nt have to press or take risks and so could do a lot of safe passing around the defence and midfield. There is something to build on.

I don't agree, they scored from a clever corner kick routine, it was a lottery if the shot was likely to go through all those bodies, and then a 2nd bit of bad defending. We were the most likely to win before they got the 2nd. Had they had to chase the game we would have torn them a new one

I'm sorry to say Rooney is not the man for the system we played. The pundits were right that you get 1chance and you have to take it at that level. Hodgson took off Wellbeck but should have had the bottle to take off Rooney. I don't get the hype of Wilshire. Personally I would have played AL ( not because he is at present a Saints player, although I didnt feel any pride when he came on, as he doesn't seem one of us now) instead of Sterling from the start and brought him on when the game was stretched, his energy for the last 35 or so minutes could have been devastating, I know he was the star player but we lost, had we been more measured and then hit them when the fatigue set in we may have done better. Baines had a poor game although he had little cover. All in all I still think it was the best England performance in the WC for a long time

When's the Justice for the Heysel victims campaign going to be started?

He was awful but most are , MLT was poor when he was co commentator a year or so ago

Fair points,grab attention for newspaper sales is the best reason I expect

Why the attack on the Echo Duncan. I assume they are not being very conducive to publicising your book. The Echo can only get access if the club decide they want to. I assume they will only publish player unrest after I has been made public, I doubt they are wishing to publish anything that would upset the club if they want to get back in favour. A very difficult dilemma for them Iwould think.

Bad management when you get to the final and fail to win with the team you have at your disposal. It can happen to everyone of course

I do find it disrespectful for the club not to answer calls, but I suppose that is consistent to AL

runners up in the cup to mighty Wigan, I don't think that points to good management

Frannie nice bloke but don't ask him to pass the book to anyone as it will end up 20feet from the intended recipient or deep into the crowd

he won the league after nearly f###### it up. With the resources there for him he should have won more and at a canter. Utd won the league the season after with probably their worst side for decades (not since of course) As I said if he becomes Saints manager then I want him to do well, but I'm not sure of his record bringing young players through and using sparse resources

:blush:I do hope I'm wrong but I don't believe Mancini to be that good. He was lucky to win the league with Man City even with a squad that Wigley would have take. To European glory

The fannying about deciding the manager gives time for agents/clubs to work away at the players.Reed said hisself the players don't know who is coming in and they understandably are unsettled. Dejan would be the biggest loss to our team of all the players rumoured to be off. Give him the captains armband and make him feel most wanted, to lose the backbone of the side is disasterous i(if true). It is going to be bad enough losing the goal scoring talisman, to find a replacement for one of the best CB's in the PL is a massive problem.Iassume it is. Liverpool or Spurs who he is angling for. Personally I would make him stay,for at least this season and show the balls to keep him to his contract

Cynical but it seems to me that they were only going to follow their list of managers whoever came forward.

Have you 2 history? Vitriol is never very pleasant, there again we can all mix it if we want

Blackmore was very sympathetic to Pompey and failed to point out how much they had taken from HMRC and all the others.
