...many players score at least once a season, so perhaps that was his this time around. A sad thing to relate is that Paul Onuachu (having scored 11 goals - so far) in Turkey, puts his success down to the fact that ..." they are playing in a formation that suits him". ( i.e. wingers.) Having sold him, we then signed TWO wingers, and have played half a season, still lacking a big CF. Hopefully Ross Stewart can maintain fitness, and our wingers will finally have someone to aim at.

Shit or bust for me. A draw is not acceptable. We’ve already dropped two points against these shithouses with that pathetic display at home.

Fair Dinkum

We are currently up in the arctic circle. There doesn’t seem to have been any weather warnings of extreme cold and these Norwegian’s are just going about their daily business, the crazy fools. Don’t they know they need to stay at home and stay safe

These are the confirmed members of Trump's League of Nations 2.0, with him as President Chairman for life ; Albania Argentina Armenia Azerbaijan Bahrain Belarus Bulgaria Egypt Hungary Indonesia Israel Jordan Kazakhstan Kosovo Kuwait Mongolia Morocco Pakistan Paraguay Qatar Saudi Arabia Turkey United Arab Emirates United States Uzbekistan Vietnam Canada's invitation has been withdrawn, which saves them having to say "no thanks". There is apparently no mention of Gaza in the Board's founding charter.

The sun never shines in that shithole so hopefully we’ll be alright!

Yep, good luck to him, done his bit for us and proved a few critics wrong over his attitude. I'm sure his salary has taken a bit of a knock but nice place and lifestyle to see out your pro career.

Shame that this game isn't an evening kick off. This season, Saints have a points per game (PPG) of 2.3 for games played in the evening (w5, d1, l1), but have less than 1 PPG for those games played in the day (w4, d8, l9). If our evening matches form was across the season, we'd be 7 points clear at the top of the Championship ! Alternatively, we'd be in the bottom 3, if our day form was across the season. I think that this anomaly, is because we had quite a few evening games during Tonda's hot period when he first took over. Not sure that it means much, but I thought that it made a nice change to discussing XG.

Not so much cleared off by the police, more heard they were letting the DEF out and ran and hid, in their desperation to get away and hide they ended up smashing windows and doors as they tried to break into nearby houses and shops such was their fear. Typical Pompey, hardest firm in the world when the OB are there, set new 100m records when they’re not.

Like him or not, Stephens needs to be the first name on the team sheet for this. About the only one I would trust to get his head in where it hurts. Obviously needs 4 at the back. Thank God no Bazunu going to Fratton Park. People clambering for Romeu must be bad. Would happily take a draw.

Nothing but good feelings towards Ryan and best wishes for his future. He always gave 100% for us and it was just age that caught up with him that hurried his departure.

What are you on about?

Valenciennes Transfer Window: Four Arrivals Are Good, But Departures Are Needed Barring any last-minute setbacks, Valenciennes will stick to the four signings it has completed since the beginning of the month: Abi, Airhiavbere, Passi, and Daubin, to rebalance its squad. One or two departures should follow to trim the roster. Unless an unmissable opportunity arises, Valenciennes' winter transfer window is closed in terms of arrivals since the signing of Quentin Daubin on Monday, following those of Abi, Airhiavbere, and Passi. "The idea was to bring in four players; the positions were targeted," Stéphane Moulin reiterated this Thursday before embarking on the journey that will take him and his team to Le Puy-en-Velay for the seventeenth matchday of the National league. "It corresponds to what we wanted." “I hope we’ll stop there, otherwise it would mean something happened.” Like a last-minute injury. “There’s nothing wrong with asking for playing time.” As for the rest, the coach considers that only one player has left (Samy Baghdadi, loaned to Sochaux). The termination of Jordan Poha’s contract, who signed with Paris 13, and the transfer of Souleymane Basse to Pau in Ligue 2 don’t really count in his eyes, as he never relied on either of these players. “It’s not enough,” he believes. The squad deserves to be streamlined, if only to improve daily working conditions. “It would be good if everyone could find their place.” And this “everyone” obviously includes those whose playing time is very limited (Derrick Abu, Sambou Sissoko). “There’s nothing wrong with asking for him,” Stéphane Moulin reiterates. “When you can’t get him at your current club, you have to try and find him elsewhere.” Quentin Daubin has been out of work since leaving Gaziantep, Turkey, at the beginning of September. He’ll need some time to get back into form, starting this weekend with a match with the reserve team. Stéphane Moulin knows what he can expect from him, in a style similar to Mabrouk Rouaï’s, but “with more experience, more maturity in his game.” A true warrior, “a complete midfielder” whom the coach had under his command at Caen: “He’s the kind of player you’re never disappointed in.”

VAFC: "I was never given anything," says Rémy Boissier, the determined player who knows what he wants and where he's going. Back from suspension, Rémy Boissier is expected this Friday in Le Puy-en-Velay to make his eleventh consecutive start in the National league. It's the story of a season, even a footballer's life: the Valenciennes midfielder had to fight to overcome initial skepticism. Rémy Boissier was sidelined; now he's back on the deck, firmly attached to the bow of the Valenciennes ship, which has refloated itself without him, victorious against Bourg-en-Bresse (3-1) last week, as the midfielder was suspended. His return is expected this Friday in Le Puy-en-Velay, in the Valenciennes midfield where he has established himself by starting every match since the sixth game. "He was one of the few reliable players in the first half of the season because he always delivered," says his coach, Stéphane Moulin. If the rest of the season can be of the same caliber, especially given that Quentin Daubin's arrival will intensify the competition, "I would be delighted." It wasn't a given, however, as the newly appointed coaching staff had initially planned to manage without him this summer. Rémy Boissier took the blow in stride, even when he was asked in August to train with the reserve team. The Montauban native had never started a season under such circumstances. “It’s not common, and it’s not easy either,” but he concedes: “It allows you to question yourself. It also refocuses you on your work methods, on what you really want, your objectives.” His own have been clearly defined from the start: “If I came here, it’s to bring the club back to where it wants to be. Whether we’ll succeed or not, I don’t know. But I want to try to contribute.” “I told him: ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to cause any problems. I just want to work, and then we’ll take stock.’ And well, it went well…” He had warned Stéphane Moulin that he wouldn’t make waves. “I told him: ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to cause any problems. I just want to work, and then we’ll take stock.’” And that's it, it all worked out… » Turning thirty-two next month, with 142 Ligue 2 and 98 National matches under his belt, Rémy Boissier understood very early on, when the doors of youth academies closed, that he would have to fight to make his mark in professional football: “It's in my nature to be determined, I was never given anything.” A happy man in Valenciennes It all comes down to finding the right “chemistry” with the coaching staff. “Careers aren't built on their own,” it's obvious in a team sport, “there's your work, but you need people around you to validate what you're doing.” Rémy Boissier is a happy man in Valenciennes, and he makes no secret of it: “I'm coming to the end of my contract here. If there's a way to extend it, (the management) know I'm open to the idea.” I'm attached to the club, to its values, I think that shows. LE PUY (8th) – VALENCIENNES (12th), Friday, 7:30 p.m. Matchday 18 of the National league. Unavailable: Thomas, Coeff, A. Diomandé, Appuah (injured), Collet (returning from injury).

Finally, before sending you the local press, here is some information about tonight's match: We are travelling to Le Puy en Velay, who are 8th in the table with 23 points (we are 12th with 19 points). On paper, it doesn't look like it will be an easy match, in a small stadium (4,800 seats), compared to the 25,172 seats at the Stade du Hainaut. It will be a tricky match, and I think we will need to score quickly to win. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. French time. Find the link to the match below: Allez VA !

basically anything outside of 5-21 degrees is classed as extreme weather these days. By the way don’t forget to take a bottle of water with you if it gets over 21, you might collapse and die from dehydration

Sounds like a good age to bring him back in to bring some experience to the dressing room. He can join the U21 to 1st team coach pathway behind Lallana and Romeu. Get it done, Rasmus.

It's been a week since VA beat Bourg-en-Bresse 3-1 at the Stade du Hainaut, and here's the news from the week: - Winter transfer window: As announced, Souleymane BASSE, who has not played this season and was sidelined by the club, has signed with Pau FC in Ligue 2 on a permanent transfer. Quentin Daubin, a midfielder who was recently in Turkey, not with our sister club Goztepe, but with Gaziantep, has joined the team. Our coach wanted four new signings, and they have arrived: Charles Abi (forward) Erin Airhiavbere (full-back) Bryan Passi (centre-back) Quentin Daubin (midfielder) Before 31 January 2026, departures are possible, especially for players who do not play or play very little, but I do not think there will be any arrivals. - Relationship with supporters: The atmosphere is still tense between the most fervent fans and the club. After the match against FC Sochaux, some supporters who were on the pitch and recognised on camera were banned from the stadium until further notice. In protest, fan groups have also announced that they will be on strike until further notice. Dialogue is complicated, but I hope, for everyone's sake, that a solution will be found quickly. - My opinion on the rest of the season: Last Friday's victory was good for morale and confidence, but we must not let up in our efforts. The season continues and there are still victories to be won. We must remain serious and focused, and acknowledge that the first part of the season was a failure. The club has top-level facilities, a first-class training centre, a League 1 stadium, and everything is in place to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible. I wish my club all the best, and hope that their efforts pay off on the pitch too. I also wish you, my fellow Southampton supporters, all the best, and hope that things will soon improve for you. Our thoughts are also with our friends at Goztepe, to whom I wish all the best for the rest of the season.

He was under the water, nowhere near the front line

Source?

When a teste pube gets caught in your pants or something.

He said you weren't serving omelettes on the front line. Doesn't that irk?

I'm here, my friend! I'm reading you, I'm watching you! As it happens, today is match day for Valenciennes!

It's bald.

He asked if he's playing, not how old he is.
