Oo, lets hope it's on at the next village pub, fortunately it can show more than one game like a few weeks ago with Pompey on one and Saints on the other..

Another fence sitter here, although obviously not to the same level as Trousers who I swear probably has splinters in a painful place.:-) But I do try and give people a chance and don't make snap judgements. It's good to see Dobbin, for example, working his way to form, and most fans give additional points for effort. With Broja he did seem to have the attributes even if he came from Slough (Maidenhead United chant from around 1972 "We hate Slough and Slough Town, Slough Town we hate you.."), but there injuries seemed to have had large impact. My worries about the return of JWP I didn't voice as they weren't strong, and I could see he was no Walcott or Romeu. As for Tonda, I wonder if he wasn't always going to be the replacement, just not as early as expected? Eustace though? Rash!;-) For other views you don't really have to be an expert. BBD a footballer?? Lavia a real shame to lose. But then there are the pleasant surprises like the Who? brothers, Larin and Schlotterbeck.

No, he's a pony diplomat from the Donald Trump school of diplomacy..

Williams hasn't stood out like a sore thumb when he's come on before.

Sounds like Turkish is a ****ing awful navigator. Shame about Jander and Larin for that matter. But as we learnt from protecting Swansea's crocked forward probably for the best.

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.
