I assume it was a fire trap in its former life?? Sadly this illegal immigration problem is going to push us all into a far right situation. I get lots of Europeans come into my business and their conversation is the same, illegal immigrants being their major fear. Same worries as it seems we have here, of our culture being changed forever. Whether Russian bots are stirring up our social media I dont know, but if I was Russian I sure would be using it as a tool to cause unrest in countries in the West, and this issue is an easy one to inflame.

you looked pretty good the other night.......not you but Pompey. The new big athletic forward/midfielder will do well.

So who is taking the penalties free kicks and corners now?

I recall a period in the early 70's when we were awful taking pens. I think we ended up having Jimmy Gabriel taking them -

I think anyone could take the corners, I recall Redmond taking a few and we scored from at least 1. Dont believe the hype of JWPs corner taking, the velocity of the ball made it very hard for a player to time the run to get on the end of it. There wont be a direct free kick taker to match him again for decades. As for penalties, I dont think JWP was the most confident doing it -
I assume Downes, or River Phoenix
-
Really odd this. Fully expected there to be contingency plans once players had left. So it seems the club is not as financially buoyant as many on here have suggested. Recouping money perhaps.
-
A point well put I suggest
-
A bit stupid really as JWP is never out injured lol
-
Is that grin with Klopps Turkey teeth lol
-
Crikey as Paquetta is going to city to 100m WHU have a big pot
-
I do hope your chins ok, as those knee jerks can hurt. I do agree Burnley have a better manager though.
-
the myth that a player who has come up from the youth system is a die hard Saint is a nonsense. JWP has it seems pushed for a move, as all of a sudden we have dropped our demands. That's fine as JWP whilst a brilliant free kick taker has IMO broken up more of our attacks than the opposition defence as he too often passes the ball in a negative manner. If he does well at WHU where the fans dont have the 'he's one of our own' tag then I will be happy to say I was wrong. Replace him with a progressive forward thinking midfielder who breaks into the box often not now and again and we've had a great deal. Thank you JWP but time is right for all parties
-
A bit concerned with the extra minutes at the end. Rarely could we hold out with 3 minutes let alone 7-8 or 9. Also the refs are poor and whilst many are pleased no VAR it will haunt us at times
-
Didnt we once on Saintsforever make something up and see when it hit the media??
-
Just found an image of the secret circle, which one is Turks?
-
How do you get into this circle? I assume you have to know Turks, so basically its a group of his mates who then speculate wildly like they do down the pub. All due respect to Turks but can anyone tell me any info he has brought to the table that wasnt out there already?? I hope to be proved wrong. I'm probably sore as he hasn't asked me to join
-
Burnley will be successful only if they manage to keep hold of their manager. I suggest that when he goes they will plummet. I didnt see much of Tella last season and so cant judge if he is a star for the PL or not
-
He was foolish enough to believe that he would be allowed to leave all on Levy's word. He also signed a 6 year contract, yes probably on decent terms but still not putting in a release clause was another mistake. A proper agent would have been more of a match and Kane may well have won things. Not that is everything, aka MLT. It does seem to be the measure that you are judged by what you have won.
-
the problem of using your brother (?) to be your agent. He was stitched and naive imo
-
When I had a good source of info I always had to make sure that it was ok to share a bit. That was under RL and NC. Both did not look kindly on leaks and rightly so. It is a business after all
-
To be fair, Ive had run in with Duncan, I think this was language of a fan
-
Weren't Jwp and Lavia there to do the defensive midfield job? So how many defensive midfielders should we have to help the defence? It is all hypothetical as neither will be here IMO. Still need some grit in the centre to break up attacks. You obviously see a different midfield to me, a midfield that couldnt hold any team we played and constantly overrun. Anyway hopefully RMsees the issue and can address it, we all will be happy with that.
-
So where were we going to find another Lavia who was supposed to help screen the defence? I can hardly remember a game where we controlled midfield. If you believe that 2 inexperienced midfielders will control midfield in the tough tackling Championship, boy youre in for one hell of a surprise.
-
Well for one Romeu was there to add bite and would give a dig to a player, and secondly it wouldn't have matted at all if Carr didnt play again that season. Although it would be a 3 match ban I suspect. It would certainly pleased a lot of fans including me. Rather than limply walk past when you are being totally being disrespected. Hurlock, or Case would not have put up with it. Sometimes a bit of guts and aggression is called for
