Just noticed that at the end of November we have 3 games in 7 days: Sat/Tues/Fri! Think he'll get a chance then..

I was thinking that some of the goals were rebounds and loose balls, but as you say, right positions. Some of the threaded balls from midfield were a delight so there may be one or two others to come through, although physically they still look pretty lightweight.

Either way, it's 3 letters short of his surname so easier to fit on. He's probably called 'Will' on the pitch for speed..

Spread out between Saints, Leicester and Rangers regulars £70000 doesn't go that far.

Giggle..

Until today I hadn't seen any of Manchester United's games, but took the opportunity this evening to watch the highlights. My goodness, what an awful sloppy lackadaisical team. No cohesion, no effort, no defence.

I sort of predicted the right score! OK, maybe not, but at least I didn't join in with the 3-0 defeat depressives. 🙂

You're an S+M fan? Saints and masochism?

I see THB can't even get on the bench today for Villa, did he get injured in training?

We probably need a separate thread on freezing your bits off at football matches. I've been cold but nothing memorable in terms of remembering a specific game. Mind you, I've probably been unrecognisable with all the hats, scarves, ski gear padding, winter boots and possibly those little exothermic hand warmers. Clapping would have sounded a bit muffled too.. Not sure what I feel about today, though the ideal scenario would be a late winning free kick by JWP. I didn't think those things happened to Saints, but then Le Tissier popped up with that fantasy script in the last game at The Dell, so there's always a little hope.

Wasn't Tommy Jenkins playing as well? You see Mr_Red, you've set us all off! But CanadaSaint's idea is a good one..

Remember he's a busy man and has all the LGBTQ related threads he's not interested in to attend to.. Often he started them; he does like to make work for himself.

Not necessarily here but it's odd. Many years ago, before handy smartphones, in a group I was in someone asked about how many litres in a gallon and there was a bit of umming and erring. So I piped up with the rough answer (1 decimal place!) and then got grief for being so positive about it. I really did'nt understand that attitude for such a simple fact.

My dad has a lot to answer for as well. Luckily I don't remember my first game but I think Sydenham was involved! The Itchen sometimes has pairs of seats vacant round my way and very good views, plus the kids sometimes go down the front with their 'Can I have your shirt please?' bits of cardboard. More expensive but for a special occasion...

Thanks, that makes sense. I was watching some friends here over Portsmouth way in a friendly which enabled some underage players to take part; there were 2 (or was it 3?) sisters and very good and reminded me one of the reasons I retired.. Not just my lack of skill but mainly being as slow as Vestergaard.. The mum was commenting how disappointed they were that Southampton had closed the U16s.
