Jose played the full 90 mins in a friendly against Italy on Tuesday. Portugal won 1-0. I'm really pleased for him, not only achieving his targets, but getting the recognition he deserves. With the way he reads the game so well, hopefully he stays with us in some capacity (I reckon he'll go into coaching) after he finishes playing.

Sod it. I missed that. And I saw a stream available with it on. Poop, bum, piddle.
 
I really rate this fella he's a top Center back his reading of the game and the confidence he give his partner is what really makes him stand out.

£50m minimum.

Wouldn't it be funny if you spent £20m on a CB who turned out to be useless without Jose and the following year £15m on a RB that turned out to lack confidence without his leader beside him? <laugh>

Still, you can always come back for him when he's 35 and give us £20m then :)

Does Brenda turn up for training with a Saints sticker in his car window?

The way I see it is we've gone so far now that there no going back, we get Clyne then come back for Bertrand and that's the back four sorted. <laugh>

You could speed things up by signing our Italian/Argentinian striker and maybe our creative South American genius too?
 
What is up with the swear filter today?<Laugh>

I don't really use streaming much as I find that the sites want me to download some update or player software. Are there safe sites you can recommend which don't add dodgy pop-ups?
Just make sure you have Ghostery and Ad-Block Plus on your Safari browser. Then go to somewhere like CricFree. No popups, no adverts, no anything except the stream.
 
Merry Christmas Fonte. <bubbly>
Indeed. His goal yesterday could be the shot in the arm his confidence, and by extension the whole team's, needed. Yes, the other 3 goals will have helped, but Jose is the leader on the pitch and he has been struggling both as a defender and with his leadership for a while now. A goal and a clean sheet was just what the doctor ordered.
 
Even without the goal, yesterday was one of his best performances of the season. He gave the ball away once in the first half, but I think that was it.

No doubt having a defensive-minded midfield in front of him helped, as well as Giroud lacking pace. And a lack of Pelle up front would have helped to cut out those aimless punts of Fonte's up the big man, for opposition CBs to either gobble up or leave to go straight through to the keeper. But hey, it was still a very good Fonte performance. More of the same please Jose.
