Totton Saint

Why not make JWP player manager?

But have most these players ever played alongside one another. I expect a complete shambles - sorry to say

We cannot continue like this. As dad's army Frazer said "we are doomed." If we had a settled team selection it might help. By the way Chelsea played most of their new signings yesterday

His bawling at the players during play as if he knows better than them what to do is a disgrace

I thought his crosses were very poor. No height on them

good to see this thread still flourishing

I was annoyed at the pundits on BBC's highlights of the game. All they could talk about was how poor Blackpool's wall was defending Peraud's free kick. No mention of how good the free kick was to result in a goal

Hs corners are so floaty and laking pace. It fives the opposition too much time to see the ball's trajectory and get their heads on it like last night. When did we last score from a corner?

Please read today's The Telegraphs sport section for an article giving a true perspective on JWP and what a good player he is

Odd giving a debut to players when they have still got jet lag for such a crunch match, and with such a hostile atmosphere from the home fans, and death threats at the directors.

time to redress the situation then?

I thought the Sky commentator was excellent. His naming the players who received the ball each time from a pass made viewing it on the tele so much more enjoyable, and his comments were good I cannot overstate how well Saints played. Absolutely sumptous!!

Let's hope you are right. Any one who goes to the match this weather must be masochist though

I was living at Reading 53/54 season and was a Reading supporter. I went to the Dell to on a football special train (remember them? ) to watch them play Saints but being only 13 could not see a thing because I was being crushed in among adults. moved to Totton late 50"s and became a Saints supporter with my school pals

How has it come to this

Just seen you post after mine showed up below yours. So I was right in my guess.

and at least you can almost be certain that as Man City are our opponents it will be televised.

I feel for the English fans who paid to watch the game, not forgetting travel and living costs. I felt sorry for myself wasting 2 hours watching it on TV. Will watch France this pm as an antidote

two points off the bottom . Happy new year?

What about that silly word 'transition' for loosing possesion?

Thanks. Where is Jack Stevens these days please?

at least two 0f our players are in their countries w/c squads. A Smallbone is in Irish squad. Is he the same chap who was on our books last season?

I would not be surprised if JWP is given a rest. He misses Romeo.

Yes and all the goalies long kicks were gobbled up by Newcastle and we lost possession for ages. Same with the long throws in how Neanderthal As for JWP'S slow floaty corners, all they achieved was giving the Newcastle defenders time to watch the ball coming and get into a position too] head clear

I remember Big Bad John and Gabriel. What about Hollowood and Jimmmy Steel?
