Fantastic result. I'm not a big fan of some their policies but it's just great that the people rejected Reform. Feel a lot better about the country today.

That is a pretty funny result tbh. This country is a fucking basket case - we're getting what we deserve.

ah there we go that good old FFP...................city still yet to be brought to account ,meanwhile other not so rich clubs walk the tightrope.

That's a moot point.

I presume it's similar to netsuke. https://www.google.com/search?client=tablet-android-samsung-ss&hs=pElU&sca_esv=b6b8eb79eb28b6ec&sxsrf=ANbL-n7VBr2Eyq8LeeGHoYHjZNIiBuNrBQ:1772177472561&q=Netsuke+pronunciation&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi0lezFk_mSAxUjhv0HHSY8BT4Q1QJ6BAhiEAE&biw=823&bih=1238&dpr=1.75#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:33817eaa,vid:8S-kvZlto7w,st:5

Yet nobody is complaining about Bodo/Glimt and their hipster /

Disappointing night for Sir Oink-a-lot.

If you’re interested in all that, try ‘the price of football’ podcast. They’ll no doubt explore the financial results of United next week. There is a previous feature on the implications should Spurs go down (they’ve already lost an unnamed sponsorship). Its very good.

Yep, and the Tory retort to the outcome was daft. Sure, highlight that Starmer has lost the room, but don't be saying that the Tories are the only credible vote in town when you've just lost your deposit and received confirmation that Reform have borrowed your shoes. My only other observation is that the voting doesn't suggest a lurch to the right from the masses, although the Greens ffs.

Terrible result for Starmer, Farage, and Badenoch. Lib Dem’s never do anything there anyway. Reform just ate up the Tory vote in that half of the constituency to the point the Tories lost their deposit. Very little new support. The only positive of the night was seeing Goodwin whining. Vile human being. Greens have a horrific leader who is as bad as Goodwin but agree with @Saint86 that the country is on its way to being ungovernable. Fuck Brexit for causing that.

If the corner isn't taken within 30 secs of the ref's gesture, a goal kick is awarded instead - and vice versa. But then VAR...

Casualty

We should win comfortably, however this team has some heart in it despite everything it’s been through. It will not be a pushover and if our players are complacent / relaxed about the fixture, we’ll lose.

a few yellow cards would soon stop that,players just need to be hammered into line,just give referees the power to sort things out,not bring in a rule and then 2 weeks later its allowed to slip

Big striker or not, we should’ve gone to a back 4 way before we did. Was so blatantly obvious we needed the extra man in midfield rather than playing Fellows at RWB and knocking it around the back 5 before giving it away. And with Manning’s complete lack of positional awareness, the formation was killing us. A CB at RB would’ve been far better than a 5 with Fellows and Manning

Tonda/Spors identified early, but couldn't change it until an window opened, so kept the soundbites appropriate. We desperately needed a keeper and big striker. Both have been a great impact in helping the team, as well as the switch to the back 4.

Do you think he identified the problems quickly enough? For me they were so blatantly obviously only someone with deceitful eyes would claim otherwise and frankly I didn't buy into the "height" bullshit. Don't get me wrong I think he's doing well and I do wonder if he's getting less interference now we're getting results??

Terry Curran 🤣

So far, Tonda's tenure can be divided into three 7 match chunks... - An excellent first 7 - A poor next 7 - An excellent last 7 Here's hoping he can break that cycle over the next 7 games...

I think the squad argument only really works since Peretz came in (and to a degree Larin as well). Before that we were playing with a hopeless GK, so didn't really have anywhere near the best team in the division. Form since Peretz = job done well:

Absolutely unforgivable how bad he made us. Has to go down as one of our worst managers of all time. And that’s quite the accolade considering the absolute muppets we’ve employed.

I wanted it to be the aap3 (or is it aap³)?

Credit to him, he’s completely turned us around. His one limitation so far is in-game substitutions still seem to be a bit robotic. I think this will come with experience. Also, he’s more than made up for that in how he’s re-built the side. So nice to have a settled eleven and not playing in a stupid 5 at the back. Literally just doing the basics and the obvious things has made us look like a football team again. Who knew.

He is doing well for a team with players that should be top 3. Being 7th is not his fault (nice one Will), but Tonda needs to get some big game wins under him. Boro away was pathetic, Pompey away was meh, let's see how he handles March. The talk on here earlier in the season of Saints not having a good squad was hilarious, and shows how clueless some fans are with either our own players and/or the league in general.
