Saints Stuff

Stoke are on a nice run......wonder who they have next...........

 

Big game for us, with Spurs playing the Hammers a win will take us into the top 6!

Clasie can't get used to English meat and gets his family to bring some over from Holland. Also amazed at how fit some of our young Academy players are even at 13-14 years old. He's apparently trying to bulk up, bless him.

 

Apart from AFCB that table looks like something out of the 1980's

More tables...hate these international breaks, but gives us time to bone up on trivia. Table listing average time that players stay at clubs...we are 13th on list with average stay of 2.56 seasons.

 

Yes, that got me interested in how different the meat might be in Holland. I've been to Holland several times but I'm blowed if I can remember anything significantly different in their meat diet that Clasie might identify with. The only thing I can think of is that they might eat more lamb than we do. But really I don't know.

Can someone explain what he means? I'm a veggie so meat is meat to me. What do we do differently?

 

And we've done all that without really ever playing *that* well just yet. Sign of a true champion

 

Perhaps he means ham, sausages and prepared meats....but he shouldn't be eating much of that anyway.

 

Think you've hit on the head why I hadn't really noticed, LTL. We've only really clicked in about one and a half games.

 

Yes indeed.

 

If you were to ask me the differences in meats between say those in France or Italy and here, I could probably come up with some decent differences, but Holland.? Nope, I'm scratching my head on that one.

 

There's only so much you can do with a cheese and ham toastie, surely??

 

Just Googled Dutch meat in the UK and got a load of stories about horsemeat! (I was looking to see if he could buy it over here)

 

Especially if like me you have to leave out the cheese.

 

You have the ham and I'll have the cheese.

 

I've eaten horse in France. I did it during a time when I was on a try-anything-edible-once kick. To be honest, it's rather nice. It was an old animal, I was assured, and the meat was slow cooked. Traditionally you can buy it here from the odd Yorkshire butcher. Look it up why Yorkshire, because I've forgotten.

 

Tbh, I can do without the ham these days too. I'll keep the bread for a peanut butter toastie.

 

Just read a rumour that Sadio has picked up an injury on international duty...........if true hopefully not too serious

 

He's a doubt for their match against Madagascar after picking up an ankle injury. I shouldn't think it'll be a problem for facing Stoke City if he's only a doubt for international duty.
