  1. What makes you 10 levels higher? Im sure his pass to Charly was no worse than Maccas at Newcastle. When we watch Ramsdale every week we may see issues that we haven't on TV. Ramsdale is a better keeper but I personally feel hes not that much better. Im grateful to Macca for how he performed last season and on Saturday he kept the score down.
  2. Im comfortable with Macca, he cant kick the ball that well but hes not that poor. As I said if we get Ramsdale that's fine, but I'm not that sure he's that much better. Time will tell.
  3. Time will tell. If he does make some crucial saves to get us points Im all for him.
  4. Ramsdale would have saved no more than Macca on Saturday
  5. Champagne bars are now found in many high streets, they werent there 10 years ago either. Its like lamenting the lack of flared trousers in the shops
  6. Im not too excited about Ramsdale, 'Hes not the messiah hes just a naughty boy' He let shedloads in with Bournemouth and Sheff Utd, once he joined Arsenal he had a decent defence in front of him. Hopefully Im wrong but I dont see him making a massive difference to us.
  7. well he called him a beast with great attitude the other week,and so he must be doing well in training
  8. Having a centre forward who can for the last 15 minutes who can shake up the opponents when we need a goal is what we called out for in the last 2 games. I dont want to play hoof-ball but I do want us to actually make the opponents defence feel they have had a game. This was not the s=case Saturday. Their centrehalfs were smoking cigars in comfy chairs all game
  9. The reason for that is the club invested in a young keeper who they thought was the bees knees. It turns out he was Nora Battys knees. He also was up against Forster, after he had a poor period. Now working under a highly rated goal keeping coach his sharpness has returned. Personally I am cool with him being our number 1. I assume you wouldn't have Nick Pope just look how useless he is with his feet, he is an absolute joke kicking the ball but he does what a goalkeeper should do, save the ball. I have been going to games for a very long time and Shilton was terrible kicking the ball out unless it was a drop kick launch. Niemi a fantastic keeper but he wasnt one you could trust with his feet.
  10. I suggest if that was the news you were talking about I doubt you would put VERY interesting , but VERY disappointing news
  11. Sadly I fear that RM is so set on his principles that we wont give TP the chance. I was hopeful at the end of last season that RM started to be pragmatic and go a little against his ways, but it seems he is out to prove his system is going to work just to show his critics he was right all along.
  12. That is so disrespectful of Macca, ok he's not the best with his feet, but without him I doubt we would have promoted and secondly we would have lost by far more on Saturday.
  13. I would put that in your next job application, you wont need anything else,
  14. is it about a goalkeeper signing lol, or Love Island. No doubt a signing will happen and you will take credit that somehow you knew . I expect a plane from Newcastle has just landed
  15. I think its a bit of both, he likes to tease but also he does get great self esteem by getting hits, its the proudest thing in his life
  16. that is in your mind Dman, I could win the lottery if I could play the numbers after publication. This is a parody thread, not a serious information channel.
  17. My god Turks, that post really does you no favours, it just makes you look so self centred and a bit of a loon. I dont think that is what you are. I assume there is some kind of league where you can find this info? I saw the other day a first time poster get about 40 likes. Id love to see the much fabled post that got the all time record, I assume you have a copy framed on your wall. As for the most popular thread , Master Bates trumps you by thousands as well as Duncan Holly has by about 8000 posts.
  18. Sadly as I am nearly opposite the away fans in my new seat , the away fans were loud but better than drowning out the Northam that I thought was pretty good, shame they had little to bring them to life Annoying that the first 3 songs as the game started was about Pompey. We do need some new songs, the Forest fans did have a few different ones
  19. Oh this thread is fun to read but it is your ego, it means a lot to you that you have had a lot of likes on a post and this thread is well read, but 50% + is derision not praise apart from your core of mates. As for the green smiley, even your bare faced cheek claiming it was Fernandes convinces nobody who you were aiming that at. Oh yes the white background lol, when it was chequered grey and white, much like your predictions. I will keep reading and posting just to keep you top of the threads.
  20. I think you are being a bit harsh on Forest. They are a decent side and will be safe mid table. Their physicality compared to us was very noticeable. Just watching their subs dwarfing ours as they warmed up with their build and athleticism was noticeable, the same on the pitch. I have wondered for years why we seem to buy/develop slight players rather than strong athletic players who can intimidate and knock players off the ball. I notice also people saying about Macca, he may be poor with the ball at his feet but he saved us from a hammering Saturday. I assume fans wouldn't want us to have Pope, who is appalling with the ball at his feet, comocal really.
  21. The problem is Turks, you dont actually post any names until after the event and then come up with absolute belters explaining what your bible quotes and obscure images pertain to. I read this as it is entertaining reading the ridiculous explanations you come up with. I personally feel you have as much info about signings that I have, and I get those from X or other questionable sources. Anyway keep up the good work LLSS and all that.
  22. Saint Clark is a big fan of his
  23. Im hopeful it will be fantastic.
  24. I usually agree with you MG but McCarthy is not good with his feet, the rest of his game is ok. Look at the top end keepers eg Alison and Edison both made major gaffes last season. If Macca was world class he wouldnt be here. We are always going to have keepers that are down a rung. Thats the life of being a Saints fan. Shilton was rubbish with his feet,
  25. well that mini sub got lots of coverage also billionaires
