John Boy Saint Posted 31 August, 2018 Share Posted 31 August, 2018 This is his best. Old, but still a classic. I have that on CD somewhere. Driving into the NEC for a trade show one morning with a full car of take no prisoners colleagues, I told them to have a listen to this, and put it on. Instantly there were howls of derision raining down on me for owning an effin Robbie Williams CD, once the singing started they all started laughing. Should have taken it out of the car as a couple of months later I was out with the Marketing Manager and we were heading to a call in Southsea, at some point when I left him in the car the bugger had cued the CD up at pretty much the right point, walked the volume up and switched off the stereo. As we turned into fratton he says “it’s warm in here” and opened all the windows, then hits the stereo power button instantly the chorus is blasting out of the car!!!!

Fantastic version of the Robbie Williams song. I believe Milan tried to sue the producer after he did not like the lyrics involving him. Not heard anything since from the producer of the song, anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted 13 September, 2018 Share Posted 13 September, 2018 Looks ok at this stage in the PL. Remember Mane and Tadic didn't exactly set the world alight within a handful of games. Adequate and will hopefully improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adequate and will hopefully improve.I was at Mane's debut in the cup at Arsenal where he was a big threat and it was clear (to me at least) that he would be a good player for us as he comittee defenders. Seem to remember a sublime Tadic assist on his debut at Anfield and pretty much being quality straight away. Certainly both showed far more initially than Moi has so far. Hopefully he gets a goal on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a brain could see how dangerous he was. He's the best player we've had since Gareth Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't. Anyone with a brain could see how dangerous he was. He's the best player we've had since Gareth Bale. He is an immensely talented footballer who has the ability to turn a game in an instant. He's also got great movement. He had a few bad games along the way, but the stick he got for them was hard to believe. Koeman had a really great squad of players to work with and with a touch of luck could probably have won something with them. After Puel arrived the quality we had in the team took an immediate nosedive. I'm glad we have Ings now, as he provides something of what we lost when Mane left and I think our squad is probably overall marginally better than it has been for the past two seasons. I just hope it's enough to push us back to winning more than we draw and losing a couple less. I'm still a bit concerned that the team as a whole seems to be very fragile mentally. Need to get on a run and pick up a few points, if we can do that I think their confidence levels will get back to where they should be. Elyounoussi has a great range of passing and a good shot on him. Think after he scores or sets up a couple he'll shine. He's not the quickest over the ground but he could turn out to be a proper wide playmaker in the Payet/Tadic mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adequate and will hopefully improve. Mane was involved in everything from the start and only helmets decided he was no good based on missing a sitter at Spurs (when he couldn't even see the ball). I seem to recall "worst player ever" getting an outing. If only, we'd have about 40 league titles. As for Tadic, didn't he set up Clyne's goal in his first match up at Liverpool under Koeman? Not to mention that our stats for his first 14 matches with the club were Won 11 Drawn 1 Lost 2... Mane was involved in quite a few of those too.

austsaint Posted 18 September, 2018 Share Posted 18 September, 2018 Hasn't shown a lot yet. Strong and has a good first touch - but seems to lack pace and his attacking runs and passes ineffective so far. Definite downgrade on Tadic, but must be given more time.

tajjuk Posted 18 September, 2018 Share Posted 18 September, 2018 Not doing much is not a downgrade on Tadic, seeing as Tadic did not do much in the last two years. It's amazing how players not playing suddenly become way better than they were, aside a 4-5 game burst at the end of last season Tadic had done the square root of f-all for over 2 years.

Saint Garrett Posted 18 September, 2018 Share Posted 18 September, 2018 Think he's started ok, was decent at Palace and thought he was decent last night. Needs to get a bit more involved though, and needs to take his chances, he should have scored a few for us now. It's only early days, but he's not going to be incredible.

Yup - neat and tidy, but not really seen anything to suggest he has the passing range or creativity we might have expected, which is disappointing as he's got zero pace. Hoj's goal yesterday a good case in point. Moi picks it up on the right, starts to run diagonally towards the area, gets about 30 yards out and then just floats a waist-high nothing ball towards the penalty spot that any one of about three defenders could've cleared. The fact that it then broke for Hoj to finally keep one down was very fortunate for us indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like a bricklayer being used to laying in one style and then being asked to lay in another style. Clearly they will be able to do it but they will get better at it while they get used to it. Still not a perfect analogy of course but to think footballers dont need to settle in is ludicrous. Playing styles of the league, club, partnership with full back etc, pace of play etc and a thousand other reasons why it is a situation that clearly takes place... probably doesnt show as much when youre cruising the league to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there is no other league like ours in the world - the pace and physicality is unrivaled. There are loads of players with the strength and speed to adapt that don't have the ability to shine, alternatively there are loads of players with the ability but lack of physical capability. Sure fire hits with both are out of our price range and signed by the big clubs. Anyone coming into this league from abroad has the same challenge.

It's probably why he went, it's like going to Celtic, it's an easy few years of success before he retires. I agree with the Celtic comment, however, the standard is definitely not worse than League 1. I've been to three Eredivisie games this season and I have to say they've all been far more enjoyable than anything I've seen in the Premier league in the last decade. Better atmosphere, cheaper tickets, cheaper food and drink, free travel from Rotterdam station to the ground, all help to make it a more attractive proposition. It's cheaper for me to fly from Dublin to Amsterdam and travel to Rotterdam to watch Feyenoord than it is to fly from Dublin to the UK to watch Saints, which is a sad reflection on the English game.

The9 Posted 18 September, 2018 Share Posted 18 September, 2018 He's been bang average so far, even if he did apparently have the most completed crosses in the Premier League this season before this weekend.

Saint86 Posted 18 September, 2018 Share Posted 18 September, 2018 I think he is good. When he finds his feet he will be a good player for us. Also does a lot of work defensively, which given how ****e Cedric is these days is a very important point. This place is miserable at the moment. All the fans who couldn't see where we were headed under Reed and Co are just moaning rather than accepting and supporting the players. No wonder we struggle at home...
