She was, no doubt, a saintly lady, but for the RC church to canonise her is absolutely ridiculous .............. But then I'm rather anti-church anyway.
I sat for a full 10 seconds thinking that there was a decent comeback to the reincarnation jokes death. Little did I know that I had it there all the time.
Random post: Now that Guly has left Chicago - and I've continued to try and 'find' my MLS team - I've ended up following San Jose Earthquakes. Anyway, there's a point to this story... there's four links between us and them. Ronnie Ekelund - yes that Ronnie Ekelund - is the Technical Director of the club right now! Has been since 2008. Jimmy Gabriel - one for the elders - also played for and managed the Earthquakes. So there's two links between the two clubs! Ted MacDougall - he went and coached out there for them! Joe Mallett - played for Saints from 1947–1953, coached the Quakes in 1982. Also, side point - I posted on a forum of theirs saying I had read their history, seen their team play and liked their identity etc and one of their supporters sent me a box of merchandise and memorabilia, totally free of charge. They also told me they know who 'Matt Le Tiss' is and a couple of them love his goals. (who doesn't? ) Lovely stuff. Just wanted to share. Oh and also, one of the Quakes fans wanted to share this and embrace the Southampton connection.
Forster will find out today if he has been called up for England. I would be surprised if he wasn't. He has been in the squad before and surely Roy would like to have a look at him again.
Just what I was thinking....28 years old is young for a keeper. He will be in his prime for the next 5+ years.
Yep, right until the moment Roy whispers in his ear "Listen Fraser, the tabloids are on my back. You'll have a much higher chance of being picked if you play for a more... er... fashionable club. Vin

That's the thing, Roy is far more likely to be tapping Butland up on behalf of his beloved Scumpool than he is Fraser.
5 Liverpool players in the squad as well who are likely to do their best to 'encourage' him to join. I think Forster's age will work in our favour, a big money move for Butland is much more likely.
