  1. No he didn’t as we got a result
  2. I have just seen this, this is now getting ridiculous 'He is superlative, he is absolutely extraordinarily good, not just as a football pundit, of course, but I think, in my 50 or so years of association with the BBC, I’ve never come across such a naturally gifted television presenter.'
  3. I wonder if Lineker and followers will put pressure on the camera and editing crew to also walk out???
  4. Thank you for that.
  5. Try not to confuse these people with boat people who were escaping the Viet Cong and certain death. Whilst France is a awful place they are not under any threat. I dont know if they have changed the rules re first safe haven. No wonder our schools are in crisis and have no funds if they have to cater for 40 different languages. Tome this is a scary scenario for our future,
  6. There are a variety of reasons for these problems. People blame the Gov for high energy bills but seem to forget that Putin has been largely responsible for that and Brexit of course is another reason. Before you say that Brexit was down to Tories, it was voted for by a large part of traditional Labour areas.
  7. I have not followed this as I try and do not read the sensationalist media. If I rock up in America, France, Australia, China etc without a passport do they wave me in? Are these illegal immigrants or asylum seekers? My little understanding of the rules is that if you land on a safe territory you can claim asylum, not choose which country you go to that is to your best benefit. I'm all for immigration as we need fresh young blood for jobs that our young dont want to do. They should not jump the queue for people wishing to come into our country legally. The local authorities are creaking trying to house and feed them, the NHS also will take on further burden to help with their needs. I assume the schools will also be under strain as they have to deal with children who do not speak the language that in turn lessens the schooling for the children already there.
  8. I'm very concerned as I saw her and she said 'I'll see you next week!'
  9. Amazing that if a top 6 sides defender hits a pass its 'A Rolls Royce of a pass' if other defenders from lower teams do it , it becomes a hoof and hope.
  10. Don't start coming on here pretending you're all posh, popcorn and chicken in a bucket ffs, we all know its roadkill with lavender on the side
  11. yes it was
  12. He was on my side lol, the other side had an ex Saint who never quite made the heights. Can recall who
  13. Perhaps 150 but none of us really know the selling price with these things. You are correct we have some assets who have a value
  14. I think they both were rested (JB cup tied) so probably in the plans!!!!
  15. 200M really? I doubt there will be many paying over the odds for our failing players, who have shown they are not consistent PL performers. You also have to add into the mix that SR will need to get money in and so we will not be getting premium fees.
  16. I ask a question, JWP was playing a No 10 role under Jones and seemed to be better for it. Have we moved him back to the sideways/backwards passing routine again? It was quite refreshing to see one of our players bursting into the box to pick up the pieces, seems to me that it has been stopped
  17. Thanks Matty, I know he is not good with his feet but to my mind I want someone who stops goals and not so worried about a fancy dan who can pass the ball. IMHO I think he is a better bet at present than Baz
  18. they'd beat us lol
  19. How does VAR determine when the ball is actually kicked, and is it as soon as the ball leaves the foot ? If it is done manually by a human who draws the line when he thinks it is kicked can make a split second mistake and so the player is deemed offside.
  20. 100% when I played in a Football aid game he was our captain and in the team, he said sfa. His leadership was in his win mentality
  21. So you think that SR are going to change course and ditch the buying youth to sell on, to all of a sudden buy seasoned pro's ? To clear out all the dross and coaches will cost a fortune we do not have. Especially with our income slashed dramatically. We will have a pool of players on fat contracts who few will want to buy. I recall Sunderland going down and being in a similar situation. We are totally done for, Gao was a far superior owner than this lot, whilst he couldnt send money to us due to the Chinese government, he let the club run without the mad professor ideas that SR brought. Many thought they were saviours but I with others (probably yourself) were sceptical. As for 'we won the transfer window' in the summer lol
  22. He is nowhere near in this group. Redmond made as many assists as JWP last season, and at least scored now and again. He also did go into the box and try to make things happen
  23. I know I shouldn't say this but sometimes I wish we had gone to the wall. The amount of angst this club gives me is to a stage where I kind of laugh in the faces of the club players and board. They dont care
