Whilst acknowledging that's a shite a source as one could muster, I would not be unhappy if he was instilled as caretaker manager

Appreciate your forum role as 'Contrarian in Chief' but someone needs to update Wikipedia if you genuinely believe that Ankerson isn't involved with any decision making at SFC....

I 'hate' the way Russ played but don't 'hate' him per se. I would imagine the vast majority of those that wanted him gone feel the same way. hate_count = hate_count + 2 (Ah, make that +4 ... )

Yep, been advocating this for a while now and seems like the most pragmatic and logical approach to me. I'd still give the reins to Lallana on a "nothing to lose" basis.

And there, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with our club at the moment... (if true, of course )

To be fair (perhaps), it is possible for policies that don't raise "much" overall (relative to GDP) to affect people significantly at an individual level...

Yep, this echos my thoughts on last season. I don't get to many games these days but I remember one match I went to last season (Rotherham at home I think) where we scored early on and the rest of the game was the usual 80% possession but doing nothing with it... and then Rotherham scored towards the end to gain a draw. I remember turning to my son at one point part way through the game and saying that I'd spent the last 20 minutes staring into space because nothing of note was happening on the field. As you say, it was hard work watching the game, rather than being enjoyable. That experience summed up "Russball" to me. Yes, we'd added to the fabled "undefeated run" stats, but at what cost...? Turgid football and throwing away 2 points, that's what...

Would be unique for a football team to enter a song I guess

Like the Ralph 'playbook' before him, I thought the club was wedded to playing the same way at all levels? That's not to say there isn't a more pragmatic version of "Russball" available to any manager with a degree of flexiblity in their mindset, of course...

Agree... Lord D wouldn't be happy with a bloke that plays son-in-laws...

Agreed... It's those imbeciles that post on internet forums that you've really got to watch out for...

Ramsdale KWP - THB - ABK - Taylor Downes - Ugochukwu Dibling - Lallana - Fernandes Onuachu 2-1 Saints! COYR!

Medal in the post

Well done guys.... 🤦‍♂️

You know that, I know that, Uncle Tom Cobbly knows that.... However....

Spurs letting Martin off the hook this half FFS

Shot on target!

1/10

This is going to end 0-5 isn't it, with Martin puffing out his chest claiming how great we were to recover in the second half...

Armstrong a mile offside but still doesn't test Forster with a one-on-one

Cheers 👍
