Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Saints being discussed at length on TalkSport drive and about to take calls about wether our model is sustainable and should other clubs adopt it.

 

I shall have a listen to that later. I see Alan Shearer was on Alan Brazil's show earlier and there was chat about Saints ability to win the title:

Worth noting that Shearer (I cannot remember the other pundit, but they did the same) predicted Saints to finish 9th, when MOTD3 was looking ahead to this year on a show toward the end of '12/'13.

 

Pat Nevin.

 

Not as sustainable as ours

But certainly more sustainable than Man City

 

You don't half push the boundaries, PL.

In truth, after the completely unsustainable model that Pompey worked under before, almost anything would be better. Here's hoping that Pompey can sustainably get through the leagues, although you don't deserve any sincere, charitable comments with your bloody cheek.

 

I would definitely buy a book written by various Portsmouth workers on how to build sustainable business. I think it'd be one of the few books to make me laugh out loud.

 

Here`s an article from the local Aberdeen rag - it concerns the sale of a Scottish cap belonging to Ian Black, a former Aberdeen and Saints player, won in 1948 against England. To my shame, I hadn`t heard of him.Transpires he was the first Saints player in the 20th century to be capped for Scotland. It only fetched £1600 - I might have bought it myself if I`d known. I wonder if the club would have bought it if they`d known ?

 

I've just spent 5 hours solid in a computer lab doing coursework. What has my life come to?

 

Long day by the sounds of it !

 

That was on top of the 4 hours I did earlier this afternoon...it's tough being a final year student

 

See Portsmouth lost 3.0 to Newport County in the Paint Pot yesterday. Was speaking to a taxi driver in Pompey yesterday..he was saying he hoped they'd do well as a trip to Wembley was a trip to Wembley. I agreed, saying how I'd enjoyed it with Southampton!

 

That was annoying...just interviewing Rickie on Sky, then switched tp M'boro news conference just as he was talking about JRod and adam's call ups.

 

With Gerrard out Friday, and Kyle Walker injured, a shoe in for Lalla? Why not bring in Nat Clyne.

 

Don't think they will call someone else up now for 2 friendlies...unless they had no cover. Lallana remarked that the Saints lads not involved in internationals are made to work especially hard by Mauricio...presumably because they don't get a little prematch ease off. Said it with an evil smile...so perhaps Clyne would like the break of joining up

 

Talk now that Kovalainen will replace Raikkonen at Lotus.

 

Massa has left Ferrari as well hasn't he.

 

Yep, joined Williams.
