We’ve said that a few times under Tonda.

Actually thought we deserved to win that as should’ve been at least 2 up at half time and prob more. Add to that Leo’s headed chance and you’d say we deserved the points, but fuck me we make it hard, 9/10 Bamford probably equalises and this place is in meltdown. The defending and general organisation still looks absolutely dreadful. Happy with the win though, have to take what we can get right now

Let’s see if we can actually manage the second half better than previous games we’ve been leading at half time in. Suspect we will see the exact opposite of that first half in the second.

You jest but I actually think that’s what he’s going to do. Because he’s a fucking idiot

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if manning, Armstrong etc aren’t dropped, but merely rested for Sunday, as Tonda has hinted at changing it up so players are fresh for the derby. Guarantee you’ll see them all back in for Sunday

Called it, let’s see if the the rest happens. Can read the guy like a book

This is what my contact was told by the same scout who also spoke about Rasmus

Yes, we are. At the moment anyway. Players (decent ones who would improve us anyway) are reluctant to sign due to the current culture at the club, and the downward spiral whereby no one seems to excel when they play for us, and also the fact that certain players run the dressing room, which apparently is common knowledge among other clubs and players when discussing saints. This is the opinion right now, ie during this current transfer window, after what’s happened so far this season coupled with our recent history under these owners

Yep , whether people like it or not, the fans are going to have to come together if they want this club to ever be relatively succesful in the future , to get rid of these idiots.

Who the fuck knows, I’m just passing on my knowledge of what I’ve been told. But I’m guessing this doesn’t include the generic “appeasing the fans by signing old favourites” ploy they also seem to love doing. On that basis they’ve probably just signed him and Romeu based on what they could do x amount of years ago, and still not watched them play in the months leading up to signing them , again who knows

Ramsey will point to the stats and data at suggesting they’re on the right track i expect.

Ben Garner I expect. It’s like asking if you’d rather have your left or right bollock hacked off with a blunt knife

They recognised the need for change and made a solid appointment for the here and now to guarantee survival first and foremost. The difference is we are run by some of the most egotistical arrogant cunts you could ever wish to meet, so they won’t deviate from their delusional methods and will never make an appointment that actually gives us the best chance of positive football results, which is surely the main aim for any club.

Otherwise known as a “Grand old Duke of York” team

Vipotnik of Swansea top scorer in the league now - somehow they managed to get him on a fraction of our budget. Big strong and holds the ball up, a real handful and scoring for fun. It really wasn’t hard for us to get decent players in with the money we’ve got. You’ve got to be almost record breakingly clueless to not sign the right players at this level with our budget.

What a surprise a hipster inexperienced data style appointment is looking clueless already in a league he’s not got any experience in.

Yep, just like another huge coincidence in Sheffield Utd’s upturn in form and almost immediate rise out of the relegation zone as soon as wilder took over - a manager who’s also managed them in the premier league and took them to 9th in said league. Nah, nothing to do with the manager there either

Nothing to do with Norwich having appointed an experienced manager though who demands respect, according to some on here. Just total coincidence the whole club has had a lift and results have picked up almost immediately after he was appointed.

This is the information I’ve been told - that’s all I can say. Just passing on what I’ve been told

I know someone who’s very close to staff and players at the club, and a scout who works in southern Europe and recommends up and coming players to clubs in the top footballing nations, told him this at the weekend. Said it’s almost impossible to recommend players to Saints if they’re not on Rasmus shortlist or their profile doesn’t tick all of the boxes on his spreadsheet. He also said it’s common knowledge that saints never go to watch a player play before signing him, it’s all done via data analysis.

The more he keeps quoting stats and other hard luck stories based on data, the more he’s going to piss everyone off and make his position among the fans worse than it already is

This is the crux of it. I can’t speak for everybody but for me, I’d 100% prefer to get behind and support a team who weren’t very good and lacked ability, BUT always gave 100%, were organised and played to the best of their ability, over lazy, half arsed toxic dross like we are currently seeing. It becomes impossible to get behind people who clearly aren’t doing their best or even attempting to. Makes you not want to pay to watch people not giving their all.

Oh 100%, and It also says a lot about the sort of person Spors is. Another egotistical, arrogant piece of work who has no regard for the fans of this club who only wants to hear praise and thinks he’s above any comeback or criticism, completely non-transparent just like his bosses. Hence only wanting to talk during a brief purple patch. I can’t stand him already

It’s purely coincidental that those picked to be on the FAB just so happen to be 100% compliant, passive , nodding dogs. What were the chances?

Yes , we do. People in scouting networks who deal with saints have to go through him and it has to ratified by him via his data analysis.
