Eckert becomes interim boss. Lallana drops to the U21s. We start winning. Coincidence?

I'm not used to feeling like this at the end of football matches.

Need another couple of goals before I start feeling the win is safe.

Hopefully many more than one game like this.

4!

Oh my lord

This is rather good. Am I still dreaming?

Here's hoping Sky offer a picture in picture Nathan Jones cam.

Look at that spine. Bazunu, Stephens, Bragg, Armstrong. *sigh* COYR - I still want to believe in you.

I sincerely hope so. But it's Sport Republic so :shrug:

He needs to make sure he carries out Rasmus's tactics and formation as instructed and keep our superstars like Stephens, Manning and Armstrong happy. It's a balancing act few are going to be capable of as witnessed by Will Still recklessly dropping his captain and star 'keeper and losing his job despite playing regulation Southampton-ball.

I can totally see Sport Republic Board Meetings being like this.

The club has shown, with Lallana, that bringing back a former player who has played at the highest level can completely revolutionise the first team irrespective of whether they're fit enough to pull on the shirt. I really hope Romeu isn't the same but it's Sport Republic - their recruitment has been an omnishambles.

Apparently he's a great guy to have around the place. He'll be sorely missed. We're down to our last 10 or 11 guys who are great to have around the place. Lose too many more and we might have to recruit actual footballers and coaches.

"Jack Stephens has to be captain" is perhaps the most inadvertently brilliant sick burn of our playing squad I can imagine.
