The Round Ball Game

[EdgeleyRob]

I didn't know you are one us us, Stoatfoe!!
What can you say about Nige..leaves out SRL and the plan ALMOST worked.
If ramirez signs, I will eat my cup final programme from 2003.
(not really, obviously !!)

Unlucky Saints today.I watched the game ,thought you had them beaten at 2-1.
What's the all red kit about BTW?

[teamsaint]

Its a rubbish kit.
I don't understand...tweak the kit a bit and people will pay up for the new one!!
actually, I DO know. This, I think , is about far east marketing. Remember the Cardiff city playing in red thing? Well the Saints store in town has huge pictures everywhere of Tadanari Lee, our Japanese striker, in the new kit. Now Lee looks a top prospect, but at this stage if you want to sell Saints merch, there are only two names in town....Lambert and Lallana.
lets sell shirts to the far east is the game.
our chairman is very ambitious.

the shirt is cobblers.(not northampton, obviously). Stripes at home, yellow(our cup winning colours) away. SO simple.

Ironically, I am listening to the "Colour Symphony" as I write this !! spooky !!

[cloughie]

this thread needs someone to collate results !
Anyway, good point for the Owls,

Indeed so - and almost three - I thinknit will be an interesting season in the Championship even if it took half an hour to suss it!

We had a drinking get-together today. Saints goals had us hollering.

yeah, I was wishing they would win, but...

Balotelli came on.

As soon as he touched the ball everything changed, it was a different game.

In the box, he touched it, a defender knocked it away and it .... Dzeko... goal!

Then a mistake gifted Nasri

But the game had changed with Balotelli?

A win for the Owls putting us in an automatic promotion spot!

[teamsaint]

Mid-table I think, but then they seem convinced that Leicester, Forest and the sides that came down will do well, what do they or any of us know?

[teamsaint]

Too fed up to check the other results...but saints suffered a result that will set alarm bells ringing. We absolutely MUST get at least 1 quality Centre Half in this week.

We also have a lack of pace out wide that concerns me a bit.

Hope others have had better fortunes today !

Well we got beat by a top class team, of Chelsea yesterday 2 - 0. Had a masterclass match from a team on top class form.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

well les bleus had their moments bbm! shame it had to be against the tooon who i hope will still delight us all this season ....

Fulham playing very well and and best wishes to teh Baggies and Swans ... good starts all eh .... and then Van Persie scored that first goal what a blinder .... poor Wayne that gash looked really nasty ....

spent yesterday afternoon collapsed on sofa watching Final Score .... ah normal life has resumed ..... [yep pathetic .... ]

Yes - despite the Owls great start in the Chamionship, Fulham will add to our learning curve on Tuesday night.

Another win for Hereford yesterday & I too was glad to see good performances by Baggies and Swansea (aka Barcelona-on-the-Tawe). I am still catching up on results from yesterday as I went to the Twenty20 finals day in Cardiff - well, it is still the cricket season even in this desperate summer.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

i do not wish Wayne Rooney ill and in fact the best and speediest of recoveries from the horrific gash he suffered on Saturday; but i have a lurking feeling that his absence may prove a blessing for both club and country .... he has not been in good form for a while now

He wasn't all that terrific in the Euros.

I make it Hodgson's England - W 5 D 1 L 1 - on penalties. Has any manager had a better start?

York City - W 1 D 1 L 1 and getting better. 12th of 24 on the Minstermen's return to the league.

There is also a Premiership apparently.
