I think that particular screenshot was written off on the Sheff Wed site.

Yeah, sounds a bit far-fetched The Swansea shenanigans gets a few mentions on there and that post does smack of someone just coming up with a scenario based on that. Pinch of salt.

I see he's now deleted it but thought I'd take a look on a Sheff Wed forum after reading 'Master Bates' post to see if they were saying anything. Nothing about going back but interesting to read one post: "The situation is this Röhl was approached by reps of Southampton about the post but was asked to walk away from SWFC so Southampton had to pay NOTHING. Röhl refused. Southampton are guilty of an illegal tap up and at NO point approached SWFC and this was relayed to the FA by SWFC. Southampton informed Charles that a recall was not going ahead on the Wed before the Forum this was relayed to members of the first team by him. After being informed by the FA of the TAP up complaint Southampton then recalled Charles with 20 mins left on the deadline. Charles has informed Southampton that he requests to finish the season loan and that he does not want to join Sheff Utd due to the treatment he got in the derby by members of the UTd sq Also Southampton will only get 25% of any sell value because inserted into the deal to take him to Southampton was a 75% payment to City" https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/336439-charles-southampton/page/6/#comments Edit: Just seen this thread https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/336434-s-charles-looking-more-positive/#comments

You may be right but as he’s from Exeter he seems to have settled in Southampton OK, 120 miles away from home. Maybe he just wasn’t ready for Chelsea at 15/16.

Probably the best line-up but tbf no.1 is the most appropriate and biggest example of the establishment name she's representing.

CSA96 meet tttdcs https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/61302-wanted-one-spare-for-forest-please/ Tough slog ahead, strong side and probably the best ground in the country for atmosphere these days. Optimistic head on, a hard-fought draw would be another positive step on the Juric turnaround. Edit: Just throwing this little beauty in there from the reverse fixture - tbf we only lost 0-1

Ted Bates kind of did it here as did McMenemy, it didn’t end particularly well but I wouldn’t call it “insane” myself. You would because you’re a condescending cunt who wants to come on here and smugly put everyone right. Dragan should sack you off.

Of course I wouldn’t know if he has any desire to be, but could Juric be seen as future DOF material overseeing a young up-and-coming coach (let’s just say, someone a bit like Rohl)?

When I first heard that link I thought potential DOF right there, then I quickly reminded myself of his health issues and need to avoid high blood pressure situations… But I certainly have more respect and admiration for the fella these days, particularly with what he does for that poor little girl Isla. The brick walls people like Souness, Kevin Sinfield and Franny Benali smash their way through for such worthy causes put many of us to shame. And then you read about greedy, spoilt brats like Lemina and other modern day football ‘stars’ and it makes the blood boil.

What a fuckin wretched season this is, wake me up when we’re back in the Championship.

Yeah, you're probably right tbf...just read it again, maybe I'm the fuckwit this time! And, to give them credit, Brentford Nylons were all the rage back in the 70s.

Just had a scoot over one of their boards, understandably confident. It was pointed out we're without probably our best man in Fernandes, and Dibling is "lazy" (clearly been reading a particular poster on this board). One of 'em even has this game down as our "cup final" ....deluded fuckwit (#19) https://griffinpark.org/forums/threads/southampton-v-bees-predictions.141956/ Interesting to see if Meghoma gets off the bench, made his (brief) debut against Chelsea.

Probably.

Someone can pick up a real bargain in with KWP, even in January. I can see him ending up somewhere like Palace, Fulham or Brighton, he’s versatile and would be cheap even just as cover. Kerkes is rumoured to be a target for Liverpool in Jan so, although he’s a left back, KWP could be seen as a cheap option for Bournemouth.

The initial target is to get past having the lowest PL points and then bring a bit of pride back into the club before the inevitable drop. Uncomfortable getting there but the Championship ain’t that bad (for too long). We’ve sidestepped the ‘new manager bounce’ with results but, look at Leicester, it often follows with a bump. Juric had little more than a day on the training ground before his first couple of games, this time he’s had a week. Fingers crossed.

Brentford are currently a decent mid-table side and it's going to take a few weeks for Juric to turn this around. But hopefully, with a near full week on the the training ground he's had a good opportunity to get into their heads a bit to start the 'process' to rid them of their 18-month possession-at-all-costs brainwashing. I'm going for a hard-earned point. Support needs to step it up too.

Gets almost a full week on the training ground, are all his new coaching team in place now? Can't see too many points coming our way again in Jan tbh.

Has the OP (and one or two others) been dropped on their heads over the Christmas period?

Zips - particularly in jeans/trousers (fookin hate button flies). Velcro is for kiddies shoes and old people (not mentioning my age).

Watford v skates I’d imagine. And he’s probably hurting.

Forest is sold out (just under 3,000), a few days after travelling up to United on the Thursday night. Support is very good for home and away league games.

Yep, we did every away game in the cup that year, everyone was a cracker (even the semi was a good day out other than the result - even got to have a run around on the hallowed Highbury turf!). That traffic to Hillsborough though, took an eternity just to get past the Hockley lights!

Feeling optimistic (rather than realistic) and hoping for that new manager bounce and more of the second half attitude from midweek. A point would be great and a good start. First target to get over 11 points, then just battle and go down fighting ready to give the Championship (albeit with a few new faces) a right good fucking go! Today, just hoping for a lift in spirits and some festive cheer 🎶"...this year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to Ivan Juric"🎶

I'd certainly add Ramsdale, THB and (although I think he may be gone very soon and is a better player than recent performances) KWP. And, as you say, if Juric comes in and does the same with Dibling as Bally did with Le Tiss, then all the better. That Bally era is up there with some of my best moments supporting this club in well over half a century!

I've got to be honest, don't know much about the fella. I see he didn't last long at Roma but they went through 3 managers in 8 months and apparently were a basket case of a club at the time (sound familiar?). Also just read elsewhere he prefers a 3-4-3 but happily changes tactics during the game and can switch to a back 4. If nothing else it helps revive an old 70s chant we had for a previous Yugolslav (Serb) where one side of the terrace shouted "Ivan" followed by the other side "Golac" which was quite effective,
