gubellini 3,990 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 I am in fan heaven! My two favorite teams in the English League are Southampton and Shrewsbury.Overnight Southampton beat Sunderland at home 8-0.I hope hapless Sunderland don't sack their manager Gus Poyet.Shrewsbury beat York 1-0.A weekend to remember!

Uriah Heap 481 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 8-0?? What on earth is going on there? West Ham 3-1 over Burnley to move into the Top 4 is just a nice little result. We're flying high. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubellini 3,990 Report post Posted October 20, 2014 crustyngrizzly Mick Channon is now a leading trainer in England.My favorite player was Matt le Tissier.If he had transferred to any of the glamour clubs he probably would have played more games for England.You don't see loyalty like that today!

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted October 20, 2014 amazing that Southampton have survived the exodus of half their team in the off season - De Boer looks a good manager. Agree about Gus - one of my favourite players when he was with us (not so much when he went to the North London rabble :-) ) Met him at a Cup Final a few years back - a gentleman.

gubellini 3,990 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Never ceases to amaze me the number of managers who are sacked after one bizarre result!Hope Gus has many more bright days at the Stadium of Light! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambling_Kidd 160 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 City blew the European game this morning in Moscow. Love the Highlights package of the lower division teams, great to see most of the old teams still play in their familiar colours ...

gubellini 3,990 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Southampton 1 Stoke 0. Cruised past Manchester City into SECOND place in the Premiership.Another south coast club matched Saints effort last week when they thrashed Birmingham AWAY 8-0.That was Bournemouth.Shrewsbury 2-Portsmouth 1.They are now 4th in Division2.Next Wednesday they host Chelsea in the F.A.Cup.Bring it on!

crustyngrizzly 1,700 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 The SAINTS go marching on. With regards to Newcastle is it time they asked SUPER MAC to come out of a long retirement or has he passed away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubellini 3,990 Report post Posted October 26, 2014 Germany World Cup Champions.Ronald Koeman German coach.No wonder the Saints are heading the pack chasing Chelsea.Even a hardened fan like myself is realistic enough to realize it will be hard to maintain this spot but Europe looks a possibility!

gubellini 3,990 Report post Posted October 26, 2014 Chelseacol I hope your team is not to hard on Shrewsbury Town on Wednesday morning in their away Cup Tie.This will be the biggest game in the history of Shrewsbury Town since their founding in 1886!

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted October 26, 2014 I still love the FA Cup Gubellini. Ties like this are awesome for many reasons. I imagine it will be an interesting looking Chelsea side for that game. Yeah we should win etc etc - but how cool would a draw be and a big $ replay at the Bridge for the "other" Blues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
