Gloucester Saint

What would be the point when there are PL likely buyers at mid-lower table level and West Ham will be making a huge transition next term albeit should be contending for top 2 even so? Whether those PL clubs get near Dragan’s valuation is another story.

Typical Pompey tightwads, buying Shein https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c79y9d4vrw7o Charlie Taylor to Derby. Never really got a chance at Saints and no idea why they signed him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdr4r54v5gro

Also, as the Malvinas flag demonstrated at the end, it’s horrible losing a big match to them. It’s like losing to Portsmouth on steroids. If any of the England squad members have Argentine teammates at club level who featured last night in the outfield and behaved badly, it’s their duty to crunch the bastard in training and leave them crumpled up and squealing. If that was Spain, Norway, or France, we’re not feeling anywhere near as bad this morning.

We went into a pub in Dulverton the year after the Rose Bowl and I was wearing my Hampshire shirt and cap. 🧢 It started off as banter but got quite unpleasant during the course of being in there which was needless. Fair to say that if Hants don’t win then I really don’t want Somerset to!

Boro, especially Gibson and Hellberg, really are whiny little bitches aren’t they? https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/dael-fry-hits-back-injury-34288272 Tale of woe on all of the targets they’ve missed out on as well such as Dobbin. Hope we smash the miserable cunts 5-0 at SMS next season, knocking the chips off both shoulders. Then they’ll have to return that shithole.

Yep, the Burnley/Everton case has opened a huge can of worms.

Come on Hampshire, cheer us up again after tonight’s football. Agree I’d rather Notts first than the Somerset bogey (bar the Rose Bowl final).

It’s the same with the cricket team, should have won the last two Ashes series but English teams don’t manage phases in matches and adapt when the opposition change tack. Obvious Argentina were going to repeat what they did v Egypt, and overload. The subs should have been Watkins and Saka to concern them on the counter attack and stretch the game out using pace but 3 defenders come on instead because they’re trying to fix what they see straight under their nose.

Nothing diverse about 6 defenders on the sane time 🙂

He’s many strengths but never been quick and needs that around him. Had it on the bench but didn’t use it. Conceded up to 25 yards, edge of our D and the wide areas as well with all of the centre backs on and said ‘take your aim’. And they did. 2 goals and two on the woodwork, Pickford saved well twice. Defence v Attack and with no deterrent on the counter attack, their midfield and defenders piled on too.

When you’ve got Saka and Watkins, one a PL winner and the other a European champion last term, and you don’t use them and bring on Burn, O’Reilly and James, you’ve just said to Argentina ‘don’t worry about tracking back on the counter, we’ve given up, park around our 25 yard areas and overload with crosses, runners and Messi weaving patterns, Harry didn’t have a prayer.

If you’re paid the extra £ms to not panic like Southgate did at the crunch moments, and you panic even more, than yes

Forgot about Watkins, we also had Saka sat there as well. Not as if that was the only option he had. Awful, no future with Tuchel.

Saints find even more ways to fuck up, it wasn’t even on the pitch last season. Some gormless twat underneath a tree.

Sorry, I meant the manager ran out of ideas, don’t think the players did. I’d have put Mainoo and Saka on, we needed pace and energy at that stage, stretch the game again, But all the eggs in one basket with the 541 and you can’t undo it again that late on.
