I think a lot of them are also too fucking thick to play dynamic football

Says it all, really…

Not if it's to his left he won't.

Guess it was this line that threw me - the implication appears to be that you’d rather not start with all of them - “You won't win many games of football starting with those six players in what is a very physical league. There has to be a balance between physical players ”

And in 2022 they were 17th after 11 games and sacked Steven Gerrard. We were 14th after 11 games and sacked Hasenhuttl 4 games later. They went for Unai Emery, we went for Nathan Jones.

There seems to be this bizarre need for validation of bad decisions by doubling down and repeating them with these wankers. 3 at the back, not working, we can’t be wrong, keep doing it. Young inexperienced manager appointment doesn’t work, can’t be wrong, get another even less experienced one. Keeper decent with his feet but utter shit at everything else he needs to be good at, we’ve decided the feet thing is most important, can’t be wrong, keep playing him. Ridiculous.

In just 2 weeks, those eggs will be back in their shells, all together in an upright basket. - There are eggs in a basket, then there are SR eggs in a basket.

To think it was only 19/20 when Villa stayed up on the last day, having been promoted the season before.

He definitely won’t do it because it’s not what SR want, and they’re in charge hence the distinction of deliberately naming him “head coach” rather than manager, which Still was titled as.

At least Mr RAF moustache got something right, although I’d prefer it if he did his job and actually reflected this in his output, instead of stressing about receiving a text message from Denmark.

Watching Midsomer Murders will be more exciting than watching us get out fought to another defeat.

THB is a fraud. He thinks he’s Billy big bollocks, you can tell just by the way he struts around like a peacock. He’s a Championship level defender at best. I could never understand at the time we got him why Vincent Kompany didn’t sign him at Burnley after he helped them get promoted. Now I know why he didn’t !

I would call club as could collect at ground as Brum should be able to print your specific ticket.

Are there more advantages playing 3-4-3 or other Xmas tree formation than the basic simple reliable 4-4-2

Maybe I’m wrong but I wonder how much Dragon actually knows about what goes on at the club. Obviously he can see the scores and the relegation, but it looks like he just flies in for the odd game and I doubt he is kept in the loop on much. Some might say that’s his fault but anyone that’s worked in business knows that even the leadership team hears very little about what’s going on day in day out and much less the ownership. Why hire a leadership team if you’re going to still be fully involved. Yes he hired the leadership team but telecoms bods might know telecoms but that doesn’t mean they have the first clue about football. The real failure here lies with the other idiots who are apparently experienced in football with their previous involvement with Brentford. As we now know, Brentford’s success had little to do with them. Kraft is gone leaving just Ankerson. I’m torn between holding him up as the villain or whether he’s the new Erick Black and a fall guy. He also appears rarely at games. There are two key questions to be asked. What is Ankerson’s role nowadays and is 5 at the back a Sport Republic must and forced upon managers. The issue is we have soft shit local journalists. Blackmore to his credit sometimes asks probing questions and let’s not forget he works for the BBC which is going to be a bind for any reporter especially when it’s a cushy gig. Alfie House on the other hand has absolutely no excuse for being the drip he is. He works for an absolute rag where any other gig is going to be a step up and the club are unlikely to ban the local paper. He literally has nothing to lose and everything to gain from being a diligent and tough asking journalist if he wants to make a name as a young journalist. He met with Dragon recently and could have told him some home truths that perhaps Dragon wasn’t aware of but of course he just behaved like the yes man he is. He couldn’t even bring himself to call out Bazunu during the Oxford game despite clearly wanting to in the fear he would be criticised for calling out statistically the worse keeper in the country for 4 seasons. If he self proclaims his fear of doing something simple like that what hope have we got of things changing. Again, it’s us placid fans that let the likes of Alfie House be our mouthpiece to the club. We should be getting the guy out of the job.

If you were remaking Brewster's Millions, who would you spunk £15m on without ending up with any assets?

Stranger Things has a much more realistic plot and more believable characters. I’d have Vecna over Ankerson anyday in terms of 4-4-2 and a robust defence.

No point in playing any games if you not interested in getting in top 6, then automatic or playoff. You then just playing for enough points to avoid relegation or mid table meaning lots of games are lost (thrown). May just have half season tickets only and just turn up at end season to see where we end up. Who cares if we go back down, the points of winning games is to go up. If players can be bothered then may as well drop to leaque 1 or leaque 2 then have an easy promotion with £100m squad. Just watched Winchester City beat Bashley and none of the subs who came on couldn't play football, couldn't keep pace or stopped thier team playing football. If Winchester City can make effective subs and not rely on one player at step 7-8 why cant Saints do it at step 2

You and your crazy, off the wall ideas.

Nope, Alfie House made it very clear on Total Saints Podcast that he doesn't rate Bazunu and he felt McCarthy was the best of the current crop.

Err yeah, thats essentially it in a nutshell. There's no way to expand on that.

Bednarek blows all of them out of the water.. KWP light years better than any of our current fullbacks. With those two in the side we conceded a ton of goals but still came 4th. Honestly the clowns running our shit show must surely see if you replaced them with inferior players we'll likely finish lower down the table. Throw in no Che Adams replacement and its obvious that Clown Republic were determined to turn us into a midtable championship side.

You would expect him to be good at crosses!
