  1. His work rate alone, lifted us as a Championship team. Some of his early goals were from tight angles from cutbacks. We relied on his individual ability to rise above some of the RussBall flaws. Then, as mentioned, were all his goals and assists. There's no reason, given some half decent SR recruitment around him, he can't be good for us next season.
  2. Pro-golfer Jesus would be the first to tell them that those are not the handicaps his touch heals. And that the word is now considered to be offensive.
  3. Saints bloated squad size revealed as they practice their new formation...
  4. Read the above. Consider our season. Your response would be:- a) That's the spirit! b) That's too many spirits!
  5. Something's happened to Tuesday and Thursday?! 🙂
  6. Pluses would be working in a multi club model (she doesn't know yet that it's a cardboard model faking a proper multi club model run by grown ups). That's a stepping stone, of course at some far distant point, should she want to work with other multi club groups. SR, like many, are super keen to maximise the profit of unearthing top, young talent. Lavia, Tino, Tyler, Fernandes etc, etc. It's a key part of their strategy. So, she will be a very important part of the set up. Although hopefully our scouting also looks at other markets too. It's not a massive step, but a bit.
  7. Failing that, his daughter could take a turn posting. Even if she's a toddler, the posts would be more mature and have a better grasp of many topics.
  8. Any chance it could be longer than a year?
  9. 1) Turkish did not say that only a manager who knew this particular league could be successful. 2) By your reasoning, someone occasionally noting down that we sold a packet of cheese and onion is a basis for signing a striker. "Data is evidence" and "why would you not want to use evidence." Out in the real world there are evolving fields for data analysis to enhance the decision making process. Establishing frameworks, processes, validation, establishing variables and testing are all part of this. To glibly just state "data is evidence" as if it replaces other processes, or other opinions, once again shows you, as Midfield General said, as "simplistic, ill-informed and reductive, and shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how... football...works." Just as well for the club that, despite you looking down your nose at them, you're not involved in any video scouting. Who knows what rubbish you'd have come up with, left to your own devices? More likely, who knows how many hours you'd waste defending your nonsense? Before you return to lurking under your bridge, could you come back to the many threads you've sulked away from after irritating people? It's as easy as 1,2,3 to do. Sorry, in your case, it should be as easy as 1 and some other numbers you don't understand.
  10. The ASPCA put a stop to that.
  11. Yeah. The run in was a chance, even if promotion was missed, to show that this squad was just as strong as their rivals at the top. Something to set themselves up for next season, by playing a lot of the stronger teams. Instead, it's just confirmed that the league position pretty much does reflect where they are as a group. As the season has got away from them, you can see it in a lot of the performances too.
  12. That's a good point about the manager simply being too tall, ending up with disdain for the players who are literally so far beneath him. There are complex dynamics at work here.
  13. Brave Saints fans try to prove their club isn't reflective of them, and join the armed forces...
  14. 0-0 draw. One header went in, but got ruled out for a foul. And... that was about it. Obviously, there will be a certain amount of investment that should prove to just be too strong for anyone else. In parallel with us, SR's best intentions for implementing their goals has been found to be ineffective. So, they're saying positive things, while being a bit clueless.
  15. I guess he changes into his clown outfit, when he gets to the circus. Fair enough, as it's not safe driving in the big clown shoes he uses professionally.
  16. All nice. I like the white one. Cream one is my personal pick there. Thanks for sharing.
  17. This is true. I was fooled by him appearing as "one to watch" on the FM staff guide. It turns out those guides just can't be trusted.
  18. With RDF Tactics as assistant. MLG would then surely get invited in, despite not being able to count past two. "Put a cone out, MLG," says Still. "Great! Now put another cone there! Well done!"
  19. Romeu replacement, Ings replacement, Adams upgrade, Tella replacement, Stu replacement. Then upgrades elsewhere.
  20. Not-Quite-Big-Enough Ron, the terror of Championship (but no higher) defences.
  21. The dizzy heights of Championship midtable, that they'd be quite far off without those players. 🙂
  22. All made Norwich a more entertaining and creatively effective side. They sound like things we coyld try out. 🙂
  23. Good to see some of our players get promoted to the big club in the SR stable. - R Ankerson
  24. I'm a little concerned that they could use footwear to reach this vital criteria. The last thing we want is having a Messi sneaking into our side, having worn platform shoes for that test.
