Stole this from saintsweb, a very nice article on Taylor, explaining his career.

Found this rather neat:

His year out of the game was a strain. He would watch games on television and feel he could “still do that.” Southampton approached him through Hart, his former teammate at City. This time, he went in with his eyes open. He was signed as cover, as support. “Nobody promised me anything,” he said. “I know my role.”

Does show the relationships that Taylor has made, given that we deputized a player at another club (and a player who once took his job, no less) to reach out and convince him to get back into the game.
 
Our 20th Century ticketing web site struggling again, people trying to buy Fulham tickets are being told it is sold out when it isn't! They say it is a technical issue.

Yoshi saying that now is not the time for negativity, but the time to pull together and give that extra 10%. Says it is similar to his first season where we finished 12th.

Yoshi cost 3 million! What a bargain he has turned out to be....not the greatest CB in the world, but reliable, doesn't moan when not played, and a genuine good egg.

Talking about giving an extra 10%.
I heard a stat, at the weekend, that WHU have increased the distance run, as a team, from 70k per game to 77k, an increase of 10%, (and an improvement in performance).
 
Fun stat:
We are 3rd for number of shots within the 6 yard box, behind only Manchester City and Manchester United,
We are 17th for number of goals from within the 6 yard box, ahead of only Newcastle, Bournemouth and Burnley.

Thats 23 shots from within the 6 yard box, we've scored 2 of them.

So are we saying we are creating good chances, which may point to the manager doing ok, just that he inherited a sack of ****?

That was my argument about Puel. He has done his bit if he set up a team to have chances....after that it is down to the team as no manager scores goals himself.

I think there were other issues with Claude though, around the players not liking him.

I don’t get that feeling with MP, but results talk.

I think they will keep him going into Jan, the board make the signings anyway, so I don’t think it will massively affect the window.
