You seem to live in a computer game world which is awfully sweet.

Absolutely fanciful to think that money for a stadium expansion that we don't hugely need will come from some "other" magic pot of money that won't impact player trading. It hit clubs like Arsenal for multiple seasons, and if nothing else it will be used as an excuse to not plunge for this or that player or to hold back on transfer funds. And lastly 10k extra seats and a cinema/etc really won't make that much difference to the team on the pitch as Fulham and Forest and Bournemouth are currently demonstrating. Those 10k seats aren't going to pay that much back to Dragan that he's just just to lump his own money in no questions asked. Life is more complicated than a computer game.

They "got us back" in the Premier League after relegating us in the first place. They're not doing us some massive favour. Two full Premier League seasons and two bottom place finishes. Not just relegated, bottom both times. Fucking useless.

Worked a fucking charm with Sulemana and Onuachu neither of which had any interest whatsoever in playing in the Championship. Unless Juric can get in some players he has a relationship with (an Italian/Croatian Paul Telfer) then I'd rather we kept hold of our money. The twats we have on the books now need to be tasked with beating the Derby record.

Not quite. I'd put him in the camp of a forward who offers more at this level than the rest of our options up front who have given us jack shit. Onuachu would be a perfect Shane Long third fourth choice forward for us. Unfortunately we ain't got a decent first or second choice right now.

Red and white ribbons tied around the Championship trophy by Boxing Day.

Getting absolutely overrun in midfield, I would think big Les will be on for the second half. We'll do well to hold on for a point.

And the two before that were 15th in the Championship and 13th in League One.

Onuachu was deserving of better treatment as he can clearly hold the ball up and has scored goals wherever he has been. He's got something to offer right now. He was unlucky to be signed by a manager who was then sacked within a fortnight. I can remember someone else being obsessed with Russell Martin and saying how wonderful he was and how he will end up at an even higher level more quickly than lowly Premier League Southampton.....I wonder who that was. You might now be desperately pretending he was never here but unfortunately for you the idiot Martin will be a topic on this forum for some time.

I heard he snapped a wishbone on Christmas Day 😪

Oh, I know. That free flowing blistering attacking football that your guy had us playing where we generated goalscoring chance after chance after chance after chance and those useless strikers just couldn't tuck them away. Like, grrr, so annoying.

Lots of managers do that once (Many of whom subsequently get dismissed as shit by the geniuses on here). Martin will do well to get another job at a just-relegated rich Championship club so is likely he will have to go again at an established Championship club - as he did at Swansea.

All I can say is thank Christ your guy, the masterful tactician, coach and hair stylist saw what an awful player Onuachu is and let his Saints team flourish with the ruthless finishing and glorious attacking football that saw us smash in 11 goals in just 16 matches.

WBA won't pay him the Prem wage we'll be paying him and will continue to pay him. So he'll cream off that for a few more months before he goes back in.

I'm already sick of all the bloody death metal references by every single commentator.

That fucking idiot would not pick Onuachu.

Smashed through two of their first eleven in half an hour. #aggressive #frontfoot

This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to Ivan Juric.

Big Les playing well here.

Armstrong redeems himself with a decent cross then.

Used to hang around with Godzillla, right?

Yep.

Happy with that line up. Nice to see the big man from the start.

Remind me of all those games that Russell Martin managed with Ramsdale in goal where we kept a clean sheet. ......versus all the games with Ramsdale in goal and Russell Martin managing where we let in, just plucking a number out of the air here, three goals?

Nobody says Happy Holidays in the UK. Nobody says Happy Winter anywhere.
