He said he wasn't going to sell Ings for £80m. That more or less marks the club's price for the player.

There is no reason for Ralph to change anything, we're buzzing along nicely. Keep the settled team and play our way. Bugger the 0-9, this will be a new day and a new game. The past is the past, stay focused on the present. Don't be surprised if we beat them 2-1

The turn over of young kids now is astonishing, these two lads are obviously our latest hotshots and of course their rise puts pressure on the lads still trying to get a place on the bench for the first team. Time is not on the side of the Sims, Ramsey, Slattery generation. Seemingly Klarer's loan to an Austrian team could be a one-way ticket to oblivion. Another lad full of promise who didn't make it here. What worries me about this new breed is their apparent lack of passion evident in the Olaigbe video when he was given hi first pro-contract, almost as 'though he expected to get it anyway wherever he was and that getting it at Saints has no special meaning for him. I guess if he becomes star he'll be off at the drop of a wallet. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh but that's the message I'm getting.

He must be pretty p4ssed off by now. Ralph rarely starts him and when he is brought on it's usually only for 20 minutes or so towards the end when usually we have withdrawn into our defensive shell to survive the inevitable last 10 minutes blitzkrieg of the opposition. Doesn't really give the lad a chance. Still seems to me that having a big engine is all that matters to Ralph, finesse seems lost on him and so Armstrong gets the nod over Boufal for example. Mourinho commenting on our recent match against Spurs said that it was more like a fight than a football match and he called it about right, Ralph's team is like the big bad wolf, he'll huff and he'll puff until he knocks your house down.

Ralph only wants machines it seems. Big engines and huge pistons that get up and down the pitch. JWP is a machine. Cedric is a machine. Hojberg is a machine

We can always tie his bootlaces together.

Hang on a minute, didn't we beat them out of sight last week or did I dream that?

Hotels are already fully booked.

As I recall, nobody thought we had a chance against Spurs in either match but lo and behold we won them both. I can still feel the excitement now. The only downer that season was our abject surrender at Cardiff when we just bottled it after Arsenal's early goal. As you are looking for coincidence, most of our Cup games en-route to the final were played at home

Yep!

OK so use a faster frame rate...

One answer is to scrap off-sides and penalty kicks

Thanks for the reminder. Tis entry amused me -with hindsight of course: Quote Originally Posted by saint**** View Post Yep totally.

Someone compared him and Papa Waigo - Papa had his faults but he was miles better than this bloke and I watched most of our games home and away in 2009/10. At least he got into dangerous positions despite the offsides and got a few goals. How crud can the Austrian League be? Would prefer to have Antonio to him, not that I think he is PL calibre either.

Away side are entitled to 10% of the GC tickets available up to a maximum of 3000, so we should have been allocated 3000 as LFC's stadium is a carbon copy of ours at 32000 GC. Does the club take it upon itself to send back tickets without consulting fans? If they do then it is a monumental scandal and about time the away support got themselves organised with a spokes person to represent them during ticket allocation discussions.

Not really true is it. JWP set him up with an unmissable chance in the first half yet he bottled it. Not for the first time either.

Exactly!

Best you stay silent if this is all you can contribute.

Why? Quite rightly the main focus is and should be on the Saints PL team, not on political correctness. When the ladies play in the comparable national women's league - Barclays FA Women's Super League - then they will deserve their moments in the sun. At the moment they are quite a long way off that goal. Remember too that the U23's get scant mention on here and the U18's virtually none at all.

Common sense at last. Most of the players out there today are perfectly well aware that they are now second choice in Ralph's preferred best XI so why would they be motivated to make an extra effort to impress as it would serve them no purpose. Once Ralph has a mindset it is very difficult to knock him off course. The time to impress is when players are called off the bench in a PL match not when forced to play in some second rate inconsequential knock-out competition which they have no chance of winning anyway.

We still won 2-0 even if we were mostly crap and only beat p*ss poor teams.

Buzzing now

here's your answer Adam Corona was a brand of carbonated soft drink produced by Thomas & Evans Ltd in South Wales, and distributed across the United Kingdom. ... Corona was sold to The Beecham Group in the 1950s and subsequently to Britvic Soft Drinks, but stopped trading as a brand in the late 1990s.

Dave & Adam slagging off most of our players now. Dread to think what they would say if we were losing.

That sort of match isn't it.

Still banging on about trivia lads. Don't waste your time.
