2-0 Leipzig in the Supercup thingy majig.

Was it him or bednarek that attempted a cruyff turn on the half way line only to give it straight to them?

Minutes upon minutes of silence... FOOTBALL IN A LIBRARY, YOUR SUPPORT IS FCKN SH*T... silence from our fans once again. The irony is so strong and yet so unreceived.

Thought they were pretty good. Shows the difference in Premier League vs Championship even with 5 new players, chances get punished.

It sounds good when everyone joins in. We sing it in the Itchen. Problem is only a select few ever join in. Woolston ferry with only about 10 people singing it sounds sh*t I grant you that.

I wouldn’t feel overtly confident with either of those two starting yet. I would probably ease them in, if stu starts he’s bound to only play around 60-70 mins so could easily bring in a Charles then. Although having said that based off last Friday, Armstrong off the bench if we did start with either of those two could also be beneficial so we’ll see.

agreed

TBH it’s not like we don’t ever go long. Vs Wednesday Stephens quite a few times looked for a quick ball over the top from a goal kick. After a bunch of mindless passing, it can cause quite a shock to suddenly change it up and go long.

My optimism will entirely depend on who comes into the midfield tomorrow, it must be stuart armstrong.

Run along with captain jack ba-da-da-di-da-do left right, right left heyo captain jack bring me back to the railroad track

Not holding any grudges but I hope City absolutely batter Burnley later today. They, along with West Ham and Everton are on my relegation wish list. Once again, no grudges.

That’s funny because apparently on a train back down south whilst pompey were coming back from an away day my mate from up north says they were singing the song “we ain’t stupid, we’ve got brains, we chuck scummers under trains” along with a bunch of other saints related stuff

Saw one say: “For our generation he’s our legend, our le tiss”. That statement is not true full stop and isn’t true for majority of people in my ‘generation’, only online seemingly. Same twitter population tried to name Yoshida as a legend.

The citizens were majority christian, but the people in charge most certainly were not. Nazi Germany was Gnostic. By 1942, Hitler vowed, according to Bullock, to “root out and destroy the influence of the Christian Churches,” describing them as “the evil that is gnawing our vitals.” During round table meetings Hitler would talk about how much he hated Jews and Christianity. Nazism was not to mould into christianity but away from it, though as you say, the majority of German people were christian at the time.

What sort of players were the replacements at the time. Were the likes of O’brien nobodies or lost their way or already first division quality players etc?

Let’s hope AFCB get him, before they move onto KWP…

Ah yes you’re right, misread there it would seem.

Lens have put up £8 for Akpom from Boro. We were linked in January so there must be some interest there. Predicted by many to be top goal scorer, what do we reckon?

Looks like we’re on course for our annual 8/10 window

But he can rainbow flick a striker in his own penalty area.

Ings as part of the deal sounds like something right out of the COT playbook

Hamer was linked to Burnley, 15 million I believe. I’d be very happy with that!

Honestly, I mentioned yesterday the self harm of turning on the manager so soon. It’s evident here the pessimism in our fanbase (understandable after the last few years). One player leaving and we may as well shut up shop it seems. It’s a team game and with our short passing, unless from the wings, individualism is limited in return for the end goal of 900 passes and winning the game a certain other way. We’ll miss his free kicks, he was a good servant and worked hard. But my god his ability has been inflated by our fans - it must be the red and white tinted goggles they have on. Get us a player with a good work ethic who can pass the ball 5 yards and it will suit our system. We have the tools, build the rome.
