Gloucester Saint

Would love to but I think he’ll be back up as I suspect McCarthy might decide that he doesn’t fancy another Champ season on the bench. Unless the new manager is Mr Magoo, it’s very likely Ramsdale gets replaced.

Bar coming up with marketing straplines, memes about pigeons and lots of hipster crap from Ankerson. Before that it was old style bullshit from Reed and Wilson. Buying cheap crap after selling any quality. No bullshit about balancing the books in the summer, break the Neves transfer record and have a good net spend on top of what we sell. Clear all of Rasmus’s crap out. The memories of this season can be moved on quite quickly if that happens but Spors needs to be Dragan’s case and shit on Rasmus’s interference. We need new keeper, new CB, new RB, new LB, 2x DMCs, AMC, 2 new wingers with express pace and a striker. And they all need to better than anything else on offer in the league.

That aged well 😂😂😂

Where’s that piss head GM now? Probably at Fratton celebrating their late equaliser.

Ollie Watkins is the sort of striker at the time Saints should’ve been buying, more established PL club at the time but their owners showed backbone which ours haven’t for a long time. Mayen, a squad player for them but with end product, let’s compare notes with Sulemana’s contribution. They’ve had proper scouts and recruitment, we’ve had people with no practical top level industry experience. End result is clear.

He’s clearly out of nick but if it’s a struggle to get it off the square at least drop and run a few singles and rotate the strike until the timing returns a bit.

Ditto Saints as well, get both clubs as assured of promotion as you can be, building a spine that prepares them for the next level. Not a season for ‘balancing the books’.

It’s pretty reflective of the fanbase overall. I don’t think the club still realises the level of frustration at just how badly the club has been run. The applause at Spurs has continued to mask it but unless next season sees the club have a similar impact on the Championship as Birmingham has done League One to make some amends, the fury amongst the fanbase could get a lot worse than this. Personally I don’t feel that the football club I’ve followed for 40+ years is reflective of me in any way but there are plenty who disagree and feel humiliated by the 10 points and Groundhog Day every week.

My friends still living in Soton call it Highly Shite Street.

The decision and context are here https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac/ui-2024-004845 FWIW I don’t agree with the judge’s decision and I suspect it’ll be over-ruled. But that DT article is pure race-baiting and very misleading. If the Mail did that they’d get hammered but because the DT is printed on bigger paper outright dishonesty seems to be OK.

I’d say more 1960s East End. The type of associate of the Krays that might have been around when George Cornell got murdered by Ronnie at the Blind Beggar in 1966.

🦆 will be quacking furiously

At the Bursledon windmill, John toasted Agform’s products being 10% more expensive in America all due to his hero. Then he drank, and drank, and drank, and drank…

Lense should at least help bring a greater level of focus.

I’d imagine he’ll be turning up to the Town Halls in the South, SW and Midlands that they win off Labour and the Conservatives in next month’s local elections.

Lettuce be a lesson to us all.

None of the MAGA lot ever graduated from life’s finishing school did they? Table manners not a strong point of Vance’s let global diplomacy.

Hope they win that and Derby to carry on their revival in the weekend 6 pointer….

It used to be said that US Bonds were one of the safest investments you could make. Shows you how far the GOP and MAGA have economically shat the bed. And people were concerned about slightly higher inflation under Biden!

The GOP are headed for a political wilderness unless their Senate grows more backbone and teeth rapidly. Congress is too junior and in the grip of a cult. Once they’ve lost both next Houses in Nove,bed next year, Trump is boxed in and gets impeached but the damage could last decades if allowed to go on that long, he’s totally insane. I think the corporate backers and likes of the Kochs need to invest in the Lincoln Project to build a new centre right pro market and business party over there to overtake the GOP as MAGA has made it too toxic to continue as a major force.

I’d say typically £30m but not always eg Semenyo at Bournemouth. Theirs and Brighton’s squads aren’t all £30m a player but they know when to push the boat out. They’ll have a couple of bad windows at some stage like us and Leicester, Brighton had a ropey one but they fixed in the next. That is what Saints and Leicester didn’t do. After the Fonte debacle cost us a trophy plus VVD’s injury, Reed bought Wesley fucking Hoedt, fringe player at Lazio for £17m, £30m today. Never a PL defender, too slow, and didn’t look that great for Watford in the league below bar one fluke goal. Dreadful attitude to cap it all off. Needed to be a £25m tower of pace from the VVD funds. Instead, that flopped and ended up with Bednarek as cover becoming first choice, Vestergaard, a half-arsed Salisu and regressing as far as Lyanco.

Rosenior, completely different football style apart, is not going to leave Strasbourg and potential European football, for this job. Too much to lose. Feels like a smoke screen. Unless he really has to come back to the UK for family reasons but he could probably get the Rangers job if that was the case. Rohl and you would hope out of common sense, Steve Cooper.

If Sheff Utd blow promotion, unlikely they’ll spend £10m on BBD. Spors has some striker issues - AA will get his game head on next season but not sure Archer or BBD can or will, judging by the latter’s poor recent run at Sheff Utd, and Stewart is Mr Injury. Onachu will be off but as with every other department, a great deal to do in very little time.
