Gloucester Saint

Third is him, some role in the other two but defensively not great as a whole unit. The better keepers inspire confidence - he creates indecision and anxiety because his position and decision-making aren’t natural combined with not being physically the biggest.

Bar the penalties, that reminds me of that night at Walsall in 2022. They had one shot - Macken scored - and we had 21. Walker, their keeper, was astonishing plus the woodwork.

Third one is poor wrists and 100% keeper error. Second is a good header but his positioning is poor from the free kick. Some culpability. First one - would struggle to say it was keeper error but stronger wrists and arms get it away from centre of the goal. Slow defending as a unit.

That’s not good for their first either. Having Victorian Plumbing on his shirt - he’s as leaky as actual Victorian plumbing that’s not seen a wrench since she was on the throne.

@pingpong this one not a Bazunu howler then? Nicely captured on video.

That’s the trouble though - for Gavin. He does let it go - into the net!

Phil Brown on BBC Radio Manchester ‘the goalkeeper should probably do better there’. Watched the clip and crisp packet hands as ever.

🍺 🍻 🍷 John’s refuelling habits haven’t changed either.

Hopefully Fleming sorts England red ball out. Pakistan are so awful that even Hampshire might beat them. SA and Bangladesh away will be good winter tests of progress. The Aussie side is ageing and had to doctor a pitch to draw with Bangladesh. If the bowlers stay fit, we should beat them but need to play Rehan as a spinning all rounder in the winter.

He’s the worst keeper to play for our first team by miles - compared to his 92 games, I don’t believe that a 17 year old Keith Grainger or Alan Blayney or Ian Andrew’s can compare. Even middle aged Chris Woods with a broken leg was better. The mind boggles as to how bad a keeper would have to be to dislodge him in the worst ever Southampton XI. That said, if any owners will pursue that aim with grim determination, it’s SR. He’s not the worst ever actual goalkeeper I’ve seen live though (I don’t mean Colin Clarke or David Howells as outfield custodians. Although Kenwyne Jones was probably better!). That honour belongs to this chap, I was at a stag do in the Broads and as the groom is a Canary, we took in their home opener against local team Colchester. Let this sink in - world class former keeper Bryan Gunn signed him. Short term pain for long-term gain as Colchester manager Paul Lambert left them for Norwich and consecutive promotions and mid-table PL finish resulted. Norwich’s right back might look familiar.

It just typifies the lack of football knowledge and experience at the club since SR pitched up. As @RedArmy said, the Boro shellacking and his horrific part in that was too much even for SR but it was 92 games too late. I think the loan spell at Stoke really finished it off for him here though as they couldn’t write it off as being psychological in a Saints shirt AKA BBD. He was dreadful at Liege as well.

Look away Bazunu fans is the title of the video. Look away @pingpong

I thought to myself, ‘are these the worst ones?’. Then I had a flashback to Boxing Day at Oxford and Baz the Hologram (tm @L1Minus10j. Like @Sheaf Saint mine won’t embed either. But fair to say Baz loves giving at Christmas combined with the Brighton howler! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBoicPHGYF4

One aspect that’s been missed is that the boats have sailed the same route as Brittany Ferries. That’s 4-5 longer, and a lot more treacherous than from Calais to Dover. It shows how desperate the smugglers are and how little they value those on those little rafts. Can see a major sinking coming up if the forecast suddenly changed mid-sail which happens in early autumn on longer routes.

It’s a common theme with the BNP, sorry, I meant Raise the Colours lot https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxp2n3eqy7o One other member of that group pepper sprayed someone after wrongly accusing them of stealing his bicycle. Another has been inside for drug dealing and importation. Bridge himself has also had a 3 year football banning order.
