Gloucester Saint

Saints need to move on. He will break down if he hasn’t had a pre-season or not be fully fit until October/November.

Police now having a roll of the Tice. Cottrell family involved again seemingly. Really dirty party. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yv4r5g55do

Even with Rashid’s exceptional figures, bowling awful and Jamie Smith holed out. McKinnie rapid start but out. David Miller and Stonis newly in. Miller boundary first ball, nearly a 6.

All getting a bit salty between Jody Brown their DoF, Defoe and Bracewell now https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13566844/jermain-defoe-woking-claim-former-england-and-tottenham-striker-didnt-turn-up-for-meeting-and-training-before-shock-exit

Truly a low rento signing.

That being said, me and Whelk have some way to go to reach peak Paul Dacre usage of the word. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v39/n11/andrew-o-hagan/who-s-the-real-cunt

Oh come on Whelk, we both know that receiving a good ‘cunting’ from you at least once is a quintessential SWF experience 😀

I’m shocked by that clip!

Certainly some Tweddle being talked.

Woking had a rather challenging week. Jermaine Defoe seemed to have had a decent end to the season and they were looking to build a squad for top 8 this season. He walked out along with his assistant, Paul Bracewell IIRC, saying that the job had become an eye opening exercise. Got the sense they’d fallen out with the DoF but a kick in the teeth for Woking fans whatever the reason.

No rumours or anything since Werder didn’t take up their buy option as expected. Late loan near the end of the window, perhaps with a fairly low obligation to buy I expect. These footballers and their agents make me laugh outside of the very elite levels. Look at Joe Aribo, his agent convinced him last summer that Saudi clubs wanted him and how much money they were going to earn. Tumbleweed, he didn’t have a proper pre-season, size of a house when he did appear, and didn’t pull up any trees at relegated Leicester. Free agent, no rumours but his agent probably still dreaming away and blowing smoke up his arse. At least Saints got one of their biggest earners off the books, 12 months later than they wanted but Leicester helped out with the loan from January,

TBF it’s an element of common sense. Has been England u21, full cap, City, won promotion already with Burnley before he joined us. Average L1 salary around £5k or nearer double for the better players, he won’t be on less than that.

I’ve put half a dozen on ignore for it which I don’t do easily but clearly in echo chambers it gets thrown around all of the time.
