SW11_Saint

There’s a tree by a river, and a hole in the ground, where the old man of Arran goes around and round…

And THB in particular would💩himself! (oh, wrong Keane…?)

Now you’re talking…

No chance whatsoever…

Christ... does every single thread on here have to include a pop at Bazunu, even when he’s nothing to do with the topic?! 🙄

David Ornstein is definitely NOT a ‘random journalist’…

As mentioned above, Ornstein reporting he is a ‘serious contender’, and Alfie House on TSP mentioned he’d been brought in “with half an eye on Still going ‘tits up’”. This is SR, you just know it’s going to happen… Beyond belief (though of course it isn’t).

Reflecting, I can’t recall a more abject performance - and we have a lot to choose from. We huffed & puffed for about 20 mins with absolutely no impact whatsoever. Azaz - a ghost, Armstrong - totally anonymous, even Scienza who started brightly burnt out, and resorted to falling over a lot. We had 2 shots on target, (only one of note) in an entire game v PNE. One thing’s for sure - it can’t carry on like this. I really wanted it to work for Will but this tanker is not turning under his watch. It’s just too big a job, and the rot is too deep, and SR really only have one card to play to keep the heat off them. If he’s not gone by the QPR game, he’ll be gone after it (another guaranteed defeat IMHO). Another bang average side turned out at SMS, and organisation and work-rate made them look different league to us. That is on Will I’m afraid (unless he’s telling them one thing and they’re doing something totally different on the pitch). But at the end of the day, he’s a symptom of the rot under SR, not the entire problem.

Blackmore didn’t do that interview in fairness.

Be a bit odd, one of the bottom-feeders loaning to one of the CL chasers…

I do wonder how much support Still gets from his backroom team - especially Trollope. He was brought in as an experienced head, who knows the sub-PL leagues, presumably to support and mentor Will. Any decent #2 should act as a challenger on decisions that are plain daft… I do wonder if he piped up at Blackburn when WS said “You know what, I think I’ll take Leo off and shove Jack into midfield to try and preserve our slim lead…”. Presumably not, or perhaps he was overruled? Anyone have any insight into the dynamic of their relationship?

No one can possibly watch that and absolve the goalie of all blame (as he watches it gently bobble over the line).

They weren’t ginger. Merrington was though.

Easy tiger… (ref. Ball, Strachan, Koeman😉)

Brendan Rogers is available? 🤔 Don’t particularly like him as a personality, but he knows how to develop a winning formula.

I mean, I’d hire him just to hear the stories over a 🍺!

Well that’s a better reason. Wasn’t aware he was that much of an ideologue.

Wouldn’t be the first time…

Me neither.

Stokes, Ball, Channon, Horne, Beresford, Quarsie, AOC, Crouch, JWP… Redknapp. All had some form of P*mpey link, other than the last entry none have been totally shunned because of it.

I’d be prepared to put that aside. Think he’s decent enough.

Could see him going there.

1-2 (after going 1-0 up). Put your mortgage on it.

He could school Quarshie on the long throw-in too…

“But Bazunu…”
