Bloody public sector farmer's eh?

All teams have to do is press us and we panic a bit, more so on our own penalty area. I’ve enjoyed watching the way we’ve countered for a number of goals this season, we seem to have got better in terms of lulling a team forward through boredom and then breaking through the lines quickly.

Fucker won't stop talking about Tonda.

Definitely better than Stephens and Bednarek. His distribution is poor though.

TBF I’d never even heard of Kev two months ago but I knew he was better than Wes Hoedt.

Think I read an article published.....in the Echo? with a comment from interview with JWP, who said that he was looking to do more for the club in terms of helping / encouraging youngsters. Certainly, there are few people better placed to do that, as his history with the club proves. Turning his back on his association with the club at the eastern end on the M27... he joined Saints at aged 8, progressed through the groups and was already getting some rave reviews at 14. Debuting at 17, Saints career was almost entirely as a Prem. player. Above all others who came through the Saints Academy, he has become the role model for every young player in the club. Another thought came to mind, in that Prowsey is not the only player of those born in the 1990's who wore the shirt and made a career in the game. Adam Lallana's sojourn at Liverpool made him one of the most successful players in the Klopp era, and that experience will help the our U21's who he is currently managing, along with another former Academy graduate, Ben Reeves. We also saw the return of Andrew Surman, (now U18 manager) who was a fan favourite in his time, but "forcibly sold" in the wake of the 2009 bankruptcy, but later played in a very good Bournemouth outfit. So, you may ask....what was " the thought "?. Being of a generation old enough to recall the emergence of Bill Shankly's era as Liverpool manager (early 1960's), it was not only the Beatles who had success. When Shankly finally retired, there came a succession of men who had either played for the club, or had worked behind the scenes and became known as .."The Liverpool Boot Room", a system that brought glory during the following 30 years. Somewhere in my imagination, I can see those former Saints players (named above) perhaps forming more permanent positions in the club, regardless of who the manager might be ...at any given moment. Having Prowsey around, and still getting game time, may be encouragement for those currently playing for the club, and others who were once proud to wear the shirt ....even for a shorter time. One can only hope.

I didn’t see a comparison - it said best we’ve had since VVD. Given that most CB’s we’ve had since him have been absolutely shite, it doesn’t seem that far fetched, even if a little early to judge.

Well done big man

Trump won’t be allowing the US of A to play those Maple Syrup Terrorists so all will be good for Larin. 🤪

Read carefully Fry and slow down. Firstly, I caveated my comment by saying “Based on what we’ve seen so far” i.e. a snapshot. Secondly, I said “since VVD”. I did not compare him to VVD.

Which are you considering this was posted at approx 10:30. And which do you think Ralphy is ? FWIW, I am retired. Well, you think it's an insult.

He's got unfinished business

It's just a bit of fun the way I see it. Nothing to get upset about.

Luckily Swansea were not a bunch of cloggers unlike Lincoln so all should be well.

Outstanding prediction DM.

I agree we don't know how good he will be in the prem, but he was captain of a mid table bundesliga club so there is no reason why he wouldn't be a solid performer at prem level

Why? I think he's probably the best centre back we've ever had and the best to ever play in the championship.

The lad is decent, no question, and looks excellent for Us NOW, IN THIS LEAGUE. Whether that translates into PL standard we will only know if and when we go up. So far, 30m minus him for THB is looking ok....plus Abbot is yet to come in and I have a sneaky feeling we will be thinking he is better.

Agreed, there seems to be a bourgeoisie in this country that grew up thinking they were fighting “the system” by calling everyone far right, and they haven’t realised that “the system” has now flipped on its head and it’s being weaponised against the natives. Agreed about the public sector. Either that or they that have HR jobs and jobs with no meaningful output other than having meetings and doing the odd spreadsheet. You can tell this, because they think “lefty” is something to be proud of. That means they have no idea how reality actually works.

The great British think tank do an excellent job of breaking down the data: https://gbtt.info/data-release-gdp-july-2026?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=gdp-july-2026 We are in a dire situation with not much light at the end of the tunnel, economically. And now labours minister for “growth” is tweeting about raising taxes on the hospitality sector even further.

that's a great idea, why dont the protesters wear Burkas? That'll cause a storm for many reasons

This is their standard tactic. They let you have your say for a bit and then attack on mass and name call. I think many of them are unemployed or have cushty jobs in the public sector (hence why they are on here all the time) but they think that by name calling in numbers it somehow makes your points invalid. The tolerant 'centrists'!
