Rod Wallace did OK, got a league winner's medal with Leeds - best of the Wallace bros IMO Dennis Wise had a pretty good career too

Glad to see Vardy on the pitch, a real talisman and someone you want in the trenches with you. The guy is always snapping and sniffing and never gives a defence a second's rest. He's also no respecter of the oppo's status, he'll give it his all whether he's up against Spain or San Marino, that's got to be a real morale boost for the rest of the team. He's in my starting XI every time. I'd also stick with Kane, he has been quiet but he's class and can do damage. IMO if England are to have any chance of progressing we need a Vardy\Kane partnership up front and the more time they are given the better. When up and running they are a real threat. Once again Rooney looked good in the mid gen role, he'd be in my starting XI every time too.

Well done Italy and top finish from Graziano, got be worth another million or 2. Never write off the Italians, they know how to win tournaments ad this outfit are really playing as a team. What is up with Belgium? That team absolutely oozes class but just can't get it together, maybe too many good players and corresponding egos in one team? I'd like to see Belgium get their act together because I think they could be something else if they clicked, only 2 games left to do it though.

I do, I think he's done a fantastic job and no hard feelings - that's football. I do wonder though if he may be joining a circus, Everton are crossing their fingers and giving one manager licence to spend £100M whilst the fans have exceeding high expectations. He won't get much of a honeymoon and if they pull the ejector seat they will inherit a new manager who probably won't have much money and had no say over the players he has. I prefer the SFC approach which appears more stable, strategic and long term. Time will tell.

In my time it has to be Mark Dennis, a bit of a loon but also an absolute fantastic left back - one of the best in SFCs history. Dennis was in the Stuart Pearce mould but never got the same acclaim because he was a bit of a nutter. Fights, stabbings, 53 day bans (for elbowing Ossie Ardilles in the face), more sendings off than I can remember, a long list of clubs, 'I hate you Nicholl' headlines in the tabloids, a liking for Colombian marching powder - traits that are not exactly going to endear you to other football clubs but what a player. His wife was a bit tasty too, multiple bust ups and police interventions during a lively marriage. Haven't seen a pic so here's one of the man in his prime.

It's going to be Clive 'just like rugger' Woodward and Mickey 'ill have a whip round' Fialka, the dream team. You heard it here first.
-
Zlatan as player manager. Christ that would be something.
-
All I know about this Emery guy is that his team gave 'Pool an absolute footballing lesson a couple of weeks ago. A very impressive 2nd half display. If he could do something like that for us he'd be a top signing. Normally I'd think it was out of the question but if he was interested in the Everton job then why not us and being as we are the best currently available entry into the prem you never know. Seems that the prem is flavour of the month as far as managers go at the moment so maybe we could tempt him, TBH I never thought we'd get big Ron and we landed him so you never know. Could be a fun run in the Europa.
-
Do a swap and get Roberto Martinez, yes he had a bad time at Everton but I think at a well run club like us he'd do really well. Thought he worked wonders at Wigan. If this happens I'll be gutted - I think he's made a bad move there, the expectation will be immense but that club looks like a bit of a circus. Still you make your bed and all that.
-
Good goal and when he's on song he's a great striker. Trouble is he goes missing for extended periods during a season which costs us. If we got a decent offer I think we should let him go.
-
Feyenoord would be interesting but not too bothered TBH. Some really good teams in there, looks like it's going to be a great adventure next year.
-
Hang on, we haven't sold anyone just yet and if we do I'm sure a) We'll get a big payout b) We'll replace them with someone of equal quality. Besides which Pelle, Tadic and Mane whilst on their day are good can suffer a fair bit of inconsistency. Ditto for big Vic + he wants out and Juanmi (sadly because I rated him) doesn't look like he ever fitted in. Come on, I would have thought by now that the club would have done enough to earn a bit of trust from the fans?
-
I think they got the size of his head right, it's massive.
-
Well done Man U At least we're in the group stages now.
-
If big Vic goes Kevin Strootman would do a job for us. Couldn't see it happening TBH but he'd be great in our midfield.
-
Spurs should be as big as ManU, their catchment area is huge and yet somehow they always contrive to screw it up. They are one of football's great comical tragedies. Watching them beat themselves up year on year about Arsenal is pure entertainment. This year must have been excruciating. I should know, I live in a Spurs area and it's a real weight on their fans. If Poch didn't get this before I'm sure he does now.

Post-Match Reaction: SAINTS 4-1 Crystal Palace
Cabrone replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Scoreline flattered us as we were asleep until the last 20 mins but we finally woke up and when we did Palace were there for the taking. I'll admit that after I watched us lose in a crap game at Norwich in January I feared a bit for us and then after Everton I thought we'd blown Europe but here we are. Congratulations to all at the club in what turned out to be a brilliant season. Football is such an unpredictable thing. Let's have a good go at the Europa this time, I want us to have a good run in that cup and I think we could do well. Finally now that I don't have to feel dirty about wanting ManU to win the cup I wish all the best to Palace at Wembley, hope you win it! -
Personally can't see why he'd go for Everton, history means nothing and my guess is that any cash he'd receive would probably be funded by losing some of their best players. Koeman is a big football name (still wonder how we got him) and his stock is high at the moment. Everton is a big risk that would at best deliver 5th\6th\7th - pretty much where SFC is right now. He will take that gamble some time but I'd have thought that when he takes it it will at least be at a club that is significantly bigger\better than SFC. Plus I can't stand Everton, the though of RK going there is not a pleasant one.
-
Players like VVD and Forster who have options wouldn't sign big extensions unless they were happy about the manager situation. Good news that we secured our GK and really sounds like good news re the big Ron situation.
-
+ Record points tally? Koeman VVD Austin - I think he'll come good next season Spurs\Chelski\Pool\Citeh\Utd\Arse - Disappointing cup runs Flaky December run
-
Ian Branfoot comes out of retirement to manage Spurs?
-
If we get 5th\6th we qualify for Europa outright, if we get 7th we need Utd to win the cup, if we get 8th I don't think we get Europe.
-
We've had a really good season TBH, a bit up and down but overall really good. You can focus on the dropped points if you like but what about the wins at Utd, Spurs and Chelsea plus the home wins against Arse, City and Pool? It will be a long time before we repeat those scores. Don't know why fans want to beat themselves up about it, it's not as if you have the slightest effect on how things go anyway so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts. We of all supporters know what it's like to watch utter sh*te so savour the moment, this is as good a feel at the club as I've known and for the first time in years and years I feel that we go into every game with a decent chance of a result. It's been a great season.

So we want Man U to win all their games? Yeah, best of luck Man Uteeth>
