but why even rise to reply to the humor that was offered....?

But equally, what is a disgrace is that the board persisted in watching KEEP BALL week after week with NO progress, where they blind? torn with loyalty? what,but in the games gone since we seem to move the game plan forward quicker. As i said before tongue in cheek we didn't need to be fit as fuck because we never played out of our own half for long periods, and showed no desire or ambition to do so even in desperate times,and the forwards just played walking football. I'm sure someone will go back to the drawing board and re-invent 4-4-2 and think wow, this is all good and everyone will take it onboard again,but its a simple game crushed by ambition.

Sadly we do. BTW what makes a good scout?. Many clubs claim they have a good system of weeding through the dross ,but we seem somehow capable of buying the dross. Whats the criteria that the scouts get assigned to look out for?,and more importantly where does the responsibility of the Sporting Director fall ?. What is a sporting director? from what ive seen in close ups on TV when they pan to our former one Wilcox, he seems embarrassed by whats happening on the pitch ,are they bought on his say so or looked over by the scouting team and then (this is where the due diligence seems to fail ) we splash the cash,and make a bog standard footballer a multimillionaire,and then expect the normal average fan to happy clap poor performances,fucking baffles me. Yet we seem incapable of bucking this trend WHY. Its not rocket science to have a system of trust in a scouting and coaching setup is it? or are we expecting too much from experts in the know?,where as us as fans are thought way too stone age to have thought hes good, where in fact we've managed to buy yet another waste of someones money. i remember way back when we bought Paul Moody from Waterlooville in the 90s, that was a big surprise as i was living in Cowplain at the time and it was a big thing, local lad and all ,but again never took off. Im sure there are lots of very similar occurrences that all clubs go through,now though maybe alot of hype is on good agents and all the trappings that go with them,shame. 1991

bloody hell Villa 2015........................christ on a bike,forgot that .

fuck me forgot about smallbone........

Merry Christmas fellow Saints fans.What ever your day brings,just remember you could have supported Portshite...............buuurrrrggghh.

Aribo just waves his arms about and goes through the motions of not getting the ball ,and tracks back about 3-4 paces of the action ,again terrible scouting and where will he fit into the setup.

Not totally convinced hes worked his way back into contention,i think RM had to do something because the complete shitness of how BBD has worked out or not performed,alongside Cornet as-well. Fuck me our scouting has been atrocious,fans thought Big Les played well yesterday,well that may have been the case but hes back in London maybe trying for a move elsewhere?,who knows what thoughts go through these young wanna be have it all millionaires eh?.......COME ON YOU SAINTS. Merry Christmas all.

Just seen the highlights (there were none) Juric looks like Robert Di Nero................

been thinking on this,they are as fit as they need to be,because they don't go over the halfway line......

again consistency at the root of this also,if that was committed in the middle of the pitch foul no question,but being close to the end of a match NO VAR to question the validity of the decision and your not a big enough team to get away with it it dosent go your way,WHY. I thought he was going to be one of the better officials when he first started out a few seasons ago but since then sadly like al of them they over think it and not making the correct call. Also tall Paul was given off when he was on,but composure let him down anyhow. Honestly we weren't at the game in 1st half improved 2nd, Aribo does alot of arm waving around when hes closing play down but never fully committed to taking control of the situation or is that just me ?. We still look fragile ,but not alot has changed in the 3 or so days since ,so the new guy whoever that is has abig job in hand ,but there is still hope at least that we will beat Derbys low points total,fingers crossed.

.....cuuumm on uuu shaaints..................(and dribble).

its David Moyes...............small jockey (slang for Scotsman) moye...is Scottish.....sorted .

and thats from not pressing to try and get the ball NEAR THEIR AREA...FFS hes deffo a joke he got outrun by about 5 spuds and our midfield...............but hey hes not the only reason were 5 down just part of it.

lol.........whys Stephens predicting Spuds to win 2-0.........................insider trading?...........lol

Just been listening to Talk shite with so called expert analysis, Crock, White and that well respected ex-manager Deeney,blows my mind when they talk about IDENTITY ,Wtf is that all about? All the ex players and pundits alike say that clubs are loosing their identity,for me from a fans perspective these things seem so far away as an excuse to the root of all teams problems .Too much money, poor recruitment, poor coaching,and managers trying oh so hard to re-invent the simple game. Will we stay in touch with a few of the other floundering relegation teams who knows,but we need an IDENTITY.................LOL.

Well according to the papers Graham Potter is in line for a shock call from RB Leipzig. Potter is keen on a return to work and the Bundesliga giants may come for him soon if results fail to improve under Marco Rose. Agent talk or are we stuck with the suicidal tactics OUR manager insists on. Options are running out if we are indeed looking for a replacement or were sticking . Most pundits in every commentary speak out at the mistakes we constantly keep performing,our forwards have no chance of making clever runs to find space because we keep the ball too deep and we play awful WALKING FOOTBALL. When we do break at a quicker tempo i think yes go for it ,only to somehow loose momentum and end up going backwards.Depressing being us ATM........................................................................................ BTW IS HE STILL HERE?...............................

Taylor refereeing the Spuds Chelsea game how bad was he again? there should have been 2 red cards and there could have been a very similar goal outcome in the 68 th min ,again similar ,actually worse case scenario than ours. These schoolboy errors by our most senior officials need looking into .

therein lies the problem ....................we cant win.....................

I can certainly feel your pain ,he has to go surely,why keep the team playing suicidal passes at the back why?....

Maybe someone has to look at interference by players surrounding corners,its bloody stupid,but Stephens what were you thinking?.....positive side Woods has been decent so far.

still earning a shed load of money to be home sick for what 3 years or so ?.............

Same fucking awful player ,falls over ever single time he touches the ball it seems ,and then because of the poor touch has to commit a foul trying to retrieve it. S>A>A must be thinking what do i have to do . BTW where are our summer signings?................they seemed good enough to spend money on but they dont seem to fit into the setup ,very odd.

but we should have been 3 or so down before half time ,if it weren't for sloppy finishing ,in our favour for once,it has to be said. But just give the team more directness and we look fairly good going forward ,which is pleasantly surprising given the lack of forward passes we tend to make. Var once again took the drama out of the game.What 4.30 mins to make avery very harsh call. looked to me from the angle behind the goal ,the keeper wasn't hindered by A.A whatsoever ,yet because he moved his leg as to try and make some kind of contact with the ball was deemed offside, maybe because the VAR try not to allow goals they had to look it up in the rules.

Fuck me even wet spam have won........................................ were getting cut adrift now. As it stands were 2 wins from safety,and no team has survived loosing 10 out of their first 12 games......................!............what are they thinking? Ok we get a new guy in and we go down ,but surely we cannot put up with an error strewn defence not being able to compose themselves enough not to shoot one another in the foot with ponderous tedious passing for what ? the sake of passing and not progressing? Im not sure what our identity is apart from boring,but its getting boring, seeing the same pattern of footballing mistakes by professional players, who lets face it have been playing football for at least 10-15 years at a good level,but cant control 10 yrs passes and continue to gift opportunities to the opposition.CRAZY.....of to bed .
