Gloucester Saint

Basically saying ‘nothing to do with me pal’ - usual response from a manager when a player is being sent to them that he knows little or nothing about. Adkins said similar about Mayuka and Yoshida.

Crewe I take it? Cheltenham’s miracle form under Stevie Cotterill couldn’t last forever. Wasn’t sure where Crewe were in the table but 10th so could make the play offs. They looked a decent and organised outfit. Remember Saints winning in a cup replay there mid-90s after the first game at the Dell was pp due to frozen fire. 🧯

We know it’s you. Why don’t you explain to us again (under your new login) why the Jack Stephens extension was such a good idea when you were practically the only one on here defending it, and quite aggressively so?

Why don’t you mind your own business Bad Wolf? Yes, we all know it’s you and remember the Zouma post.

SR wouldn’t be able to get that dry cleaned successfully when elephant dung was piled on top of all of the bullshit already on Rasmus’s chair.

The lad at Derby is miles better and cost around £2-3m less. Their keeper was only £1.5m and better than anything Saints had in goal since Forster did his knee v Burnley. They’re out there, but it requires actually watching and buying them to fit into a team, not relying on what AI spits out.

Another reason to avoid SFC until SR are sold up lock, stock and barrel.

Very much my own sentiments - only watched after 20 mins or so today because Gary Anderson won his WDC QF and the next QF wasn’t on until 7.15 and Cheltenham were getting humped at Crewe. The Saints match was every bit as dreadful as I feared and I should have watched some of a box set instead. I can tolerate poor results but the boredom that comes from the corporate-imposed style of anti-football is like taking Valium. I can see why @John Boy Saint fell asleep in front of his log burner. There’s 30k mugs inside the stadium in the freezing cold who wished they could do the same and got ripped off by the club. I’d much rather the club went bust than limped on under these charlatans for several more years. We might get a good buyer or not get one at all, but this is a living death slowly but surely with Rasmus’s hands around the club and city’s throat. It wasn’t great 2017-22 either but at least Ralph’s team generally gave their all, even if limited in ability and the Project Restart style was a great watch. Watching now is a punishment and life’s difficult enough these days. I won’t watch regularly until SR are gone, lock stock and barrel. Life is too short to be bored senseless or made miserable by someone’s warped experiments however much the club meant once upon a time to my family. I’ll keep on the forum as a link to my place of birth and where I grew up as much as anything else. I have no trust and confidence in SR whatsoever to turn this around and there is nothing they can do to persuade me of competence or capability. I’ll follow Cheltenham Town still but my interest in football is very limited now. Even major tournaments and England is tainted by FIFA’s behaviour. I was a STH for many years, home and away. It’s the youngsters I feel most sorry for. I have plenty of other leisure activities and sometimes forget the matches are even going on, but for them it’s big part of their growing up and life at school. Also, empathy with people working at the club and redundancies, plus the impact on the city economically of SR destroying the football club.

Quite a scathing leak that he was emotionally immature.

Not trying to defend Tonda, but I do wonder if some of the issues Maresca seemed to face at Chelsea are similar to SFC and SR? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cj0n8d913d8o

Just have to keep it out, Forster saved and blocked with all sorts of body parts.

And incredibly negative as well. Truly anti-football.

In common with 99.99999% of others. No reason to want that dreadful slow shitball continuing.

I agree Badger, Ankerson has been interfering throughout. Spors is supposed to report direct to Dragan but I bet that 🐍 ensured that didn’t happen in the background. We’ve all worked with ‘big picture’ arseholes like him who can’t deliver a pint of milk or run a bath, but are constantly politicking in the background.

Don’t rate him but solid game today. It was a good proactive save, fantastic is pushing it, watch Kelvin at Leeds 11/12 or Paul Jones v Man U 1998 and you’ll see what I mean because they pulled off a string of them.
