Manolo being heavily tipped to be back in the next Italy squad by Gazzetta. Saints magic dust sprinkled again.
Targett has also been out for a long time.....he had to have surgery. So apparently not all hamstring injuries are cured by rest and massage.
It has been frustrating in that coming into the season we were seemingly in the best position goalkeeper wise that we have been since the Niemi/Jones days. And then McCarthy picks up some mysterious season long injury, and Forster has been carrying an injury/in poor form for most of the season meaning it's actually arguably been our weakest position all season.
Gabby talks about us being all together when times are hard. Hard times? Doesn't he know that in bad times, he's on his own.
On the Echo site, readers have picked Gabby in preference to Austin (95% v 5%). I voted for Manolo, but I would really like both available. Tough on Charlie as we are all assuming that Gabby will carry on being successful, whereas Charlie, being unable to play, cannot demonstrate that he might have improved during the season. Still prefer Manny though.
Austin is pretty limited compared to Gabbi though. Playing a formation that suited him would have helped early in the season though, it meant we relied upon Austin scoring from the one or two shots he had in a match.
This has probably been posted before, but it's the first time that I've seen it...brilliant!... https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-tissier-top-three-goals-brick-by-brick-video

Yeah. Think that will do his some good. He has managed to push himself out of the team & down the bench recently. Needs to knuckle down.

That's the thing. Could easily be the South of England on a sunny day. But surely not in March. Not in a t-shirt unless Cedric was being brave. The hot trees are perfectly possible in the South. They're only Cordylines and the bush on the left is a Flax. Someone get that cable extension out of the picture.
