What a stellar cast for the draw. https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/articles/final-draw-ferdinand-brady-oneal-gretzky-judge?fbclid=IwdGRzaAOftlZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR6RCAy1QOYc0aUN4hRBQ4h-qzMrE8OH0qON2I1Nnp39EEGCOo3KlfNB9OlHlw_aem_cocJeScJCrrF22g-dQ-bFA

Ah, the USA World Cup 2026, featuring Mexico and Canada. No idea why the latter two bothered in all honesty, you wouldn’t think they were even involved.

He hasn't mentioned me yet, which I find deeply upsetting. He knows full well that I'm Islamaphobic (whatever that means) and that I voted Reform so must be fascist/racist too.

I like Thomas Frank amd so with his Bretford links it could be right. TF lost the Spurs fansassoon as he said about proper fans

Had wondered whether they were waiting for O'Neill to be available (M not G). Now that the Bhoys have got Nancy installed Martin is available. Didn't he have a house in Winchester at some stage, or was that someone else?

In many respects the club are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't in respects to appointing TE. If they don't a section of the fans will say he won 4/5 games, the players were playing for him and we look a much better team than a month ago. Players have publicly come out giving their backing to the guy etc If we do a section of the fans will say, lazy appointment, no ambition, massive risk, the club don't know what they are doing, cheap skates etc Every managerial appointment is a risk and to be honest i don't see many currently out there and available (that would come to Saints!) that could do any better.

Sensible, low risk appointment IMO as those making the decision have had the rare chance to actually judge the quality of his work in the actual setting he is being placed in. They have not rushed and have taken their time and clearly the players respect and have built a rapport with Eckert which has lead to by far the most cohesive performances for many months where players look motivated and seem to actually enjoy it again. Good to get it sorted and to just focus on the games. Kudos to @OrnelasGladis who called it initially.

Great goal against Norwich but I thought he looked a bit lightweight. He played the equivalent of about 11 games from 28 appearances last season but only 5 of those appearances lasted more than 65 minutes. He might be a better option than Aribo but I'm not sure he's that much more of a better option.

Keeping Joe Aribo away from the all-you-can-eat post-training buffet might be a good start. Even better not bringing him on in the first place.

Don't worry, we've got you to make sure they are.

Which is where lack of practice comes in under pressure. Endless rounds of golf don’t help. Appreciate it’s a long time away from home but the balance is wrong.

5 dropped catches too

No, I mean the managers who have been sacked because that’s what clubs do when they want to improve results. Name me one manager who has never been sacked.

Don’t think it’ll be an innings but it proves what I thought yesterday that England were 100-150 runs light seeing that they had the advantage - and it should have been an advantage - of batting first. All their batters made decent contributions. Only Crawley, Root and Archer turned up in the England innings. Doesn’t help that the likes of Brook, Duckett, Pope, and Smith shit their pants as soon as Starc comes on. Dread to think how they’d cope with Cummins and Hazelwood as well. White ball flat track bullies.

Coincidently, Coventry's blip does start tomorrow.

Mikel Arteta

She’s a cockroach - disease ridden and widely reviled, but hard to finally stamp out altogether.

Name a manager who has never been sacked!!

Had dinner around Flynn,s a couple of weeks ago, can honestly say he's a top notch bloke who wants to give his all for the club. Would have posted this comment earlier but I've been laid up lately with gut rot and the shits.

It is odd that the attention directed to the thread is by those highlighting this facet, so if they didn’t reply it would be attention seeker free! 🤪

Indeed. I don’t know why anyone would find it surprising that racists’ names come up when discussing racists and racist opinions. There are threads about racism and Reform where it would be strange if certain names weren’t mentioned.

She has her (Truss) own X media channel now apparently Alex will show us some bits i reckon

just states of the US pal

…. And Canada and Mexico.
