Because he went to Newcastle?

List of Russian equipment losses edges towards 10,000 according to this site: https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html?m=1 And that's only the ones that have been caught on camera, I guess there are some duplicates but estimates are that is only around 90% of the true total. Hopefully Ukraine are just waiting for the right conditions and the new heavy weapons and will launch a major offensive. If the Russians start getting pushed back again you would like to think that would be the end for Putin but who knows.

So he's going to be banned from their games with Bournemouth, West Ham, Everton, Leeds and Leicester but back to play us - fucking brilliant.

It is mental that a company with a turnover the size of Saints can make decisions like that when the whole damn thing depends on the 11 players on the pitch performing. I would love to see the process that led to those decisions being made. Starting the season with Adams, Armstrong and Mara as our striking options was kamkazee stuff. Whoever was manager was doomed to be sacked from that moment onwards because we were never going to score enough goals. Appointing Jones was just bat-shit crazy, even ignoring his lack of experience, the clash of styles was never going to work.

To be fair Jones had zero top level experience as a player or manager, that was the biggest issue. At least a former player who has been there and done it can speak with some sort of authority, just like a manager who has had success abroad at the top level.

Can't see any Premier League teams being interested in either of them, both proven failures at the highest level. You just have to see how well Tella has done to see the size of the gulf, the Premier League is a different beast now than even 5 years ago. Chelsea spent more than the rest of Europe combined and they are mid-table.

This, the gap between the Prem and Championship is massive now. If we get the right manager and if the owners are willing/able to take a bit of a punt money wise there is no reason why we couldn't do what Fulham or Bournemouth did. Fulham were very similar in that they spend a whole load of cash on new players the season they went down. The squad is a mess but there are assets to raise cash and a load of young players who should improve. Just need to add some players with a bit of fight, especially in midfield who, apart from Lavia, are a bunch of pussies.

I thought his positioning was off and the above shows how bad it was. Looks to me like a classic mistake made through lack of experience. Even a shit keep with a bit of experience would know that it would take an extraordinary header to beat you from there if you were in position.

Might be, or might not be if the owners think it makes sense to take a punt on a swift return. We just don’t know.

But the situation this time should be different because we are not a PLC, Lowe couldn’t take a punt and try and get us back up. This lot have invested a load in these new players so it should make sense to stick with the project and have a good go at promotion. I think there is enough in that squad to make some money from sales and put out a decent side capable of challenging, if we get the right manager (big if I know). It all depends on the owners.

Potter should be available soon. . Definitely need a clean sweep in the summer.

False position as in we are in reality 6 or 7 adrift you bell-end.

To be fair West Ham were garbage as well.

Get rid and start next season with a new manager to give us a chance of promotion.

That side doesn’t have a prayer of staying up. We’re bottom of the league but that’s a false position with the fixtures we have left. Once we’ve played City and Arsenal again we will be 6 or 7 adrift.

Total shite, no surprise at all given the line up.

That’s what it looks like to me as well. Hopefully it pays off, I just struggle to see us staying in the game with so little attacking threat.

Elynoussi In ahead of Alcaraz and Sulemana - fuck me.

Would the increase in processing times mean the strikes have more effect?

Think is win or bust tomorrow now.

What, Covid victims are actors and PCR tests 'were the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind'?

There was constant debate over wether the government's response was correct or not, and rightly so. Like every other government around the world they got plenty wrong. There is no point debating the moronic idea that it was some sort of big conspiracy to lock everyone one down for no reason though. I can't stand the Tories, especially Johnson's bunch of cronies, but the idea that they wanted to borrow billions just to pay people to sit at home and watch Netflix is just batshit crazy. It is a shame that Le Tiss has ended up where he has, he will always be a footballing hero of mine but spreading the sort of nonsense he does is just dangerous.

Yeah, because mentioning someone anonymously on a football forum is the same as snitching on them to the tax man.

To be honest I don’t blame companies for ripping the arse out of it. At the start of the pandemic there were so many uncertainties and I expect many businesses owners feared for their future. I know people who were sent home in furlough but were still given work but that doesn’t mean there was enough work to cover their wage. So it is a grey area. I just found it funny that my mates who were so used to calling out dole scroungers (typical Tory attitude) were filling their boots with government hand-outs given half a chance. They hated me taking the piss out of them over it.

So you expect me to dob my mates into the tax man because they put a few too many people on furlough - brilliant! You must be popular down your ‘Alehouse’. I expect every other company in the country was doing the same, just like how they have a million ways to avoid paying tax.
