    That depends on who you think he's trying to serve, but I digress!

    I could call round to your house and give you lots and lots of English lessons then we might at some far distant date in the future have a better understanding of what you're on about.

    It also depends on what you see as being important. I have worked for crap bosses like him in the past where they do what they think they can do and not what needs to be done.

    There is a model for occupational incompetence and Cameron fits it perfectly.

    Somebody should explain the Peter principle to him.

    Maybe I should be clearer, he's not doing the job you and I think he should be doing, but I think he's highly competent; he's making his friends very rich indeed. But now I'm really digressing.

    To be honest, you might as well digress on this thread.

    Agreed. What am I saying? I thought we were at different ends of the political spectrum.

    The most truthful thing you have said on here. However, different people see different priorities - and some prioritise in the short term and some in the long term. Just because they are not in line with your priorities doesn't make it wrong, nor does it make it right.

    But to get back on topic, I think ALL the players give 100%, some are just better footballers. Remember we are ahead of the 5 year plan, so some were brought in to to a different job. But remember, a wise man once said, "Hard work beats talent, if talent doesn't work hard".

    Tommy Forecast has done well <laugh>

    But can't really think of a single player who hasn't played a part in our rise up the Leagues. Yes, even Seaborne & Fox have contributed to our rise.

    Now I think about it, Fox doesn't always seem like he's taking things as seriously as his position deserves.

    Oh do shut up. Consistently awful? Wow. Did you see him play?

    He more than played his part in our promotions, as did 99% of the squads we have had.

    Just shows how poorly people can be judged. I met Dan Harding and all though I firmly believe he was only ever average championship, that is a damning statement about a person you probably never met or bothered watching how he really tried. He may have had some awful games, but such a shocking statement. It tells me more about you than Harding.

    The only one on the present Saints squad who I think may perhaps be lazy is Mayuka. In part because MP somewhat called him out on it, and in part from watching him.

    But even then, I may not be anything serious. Puncheon at first had the same problem. Lallana as well a few years ago. When the ball is in their possession or we are attacking then they work hard. But when we don't have possession they seem to zone out. Maybe it's more mental than actual laziness. Puncheon and Lallana seem to be cured. They might not always play good defense, but they are almost always at least trying to play defense or trying to run somewhere to be a useful outlet.

    I don't go to as many games as I used to but the only player that I would have said this about was Puncheon. Since he came back to the first team though I feel he has done as well as he can for us.
