Fair point... There are indeed annoying people on both sides of the argument, myself included... 👍

Yeah, but that would risk losing possession...

If beatlesaint repeats the same point every 5 minutes, whilst flashing his "told you so" medal each time, I'm sure he'll receive the same level of flak... #itsnotwhatyousayitshowyousayit #rocketscience

In an ideal world you'd repeat it for me more often, but I guess I'll have to make do with 3 times a day...

House!

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking....? 🤔

Not sure you can blame Martin for the last 12 games of the 2022/23 PL season, to be fair...

As one of my favourite mods, perhaps you could urge the owner(s) of this splendid forum to introduce a tongue-in-cheek emoji to avoid people taking my posts too seriously...?

If we want to use Sheff Utd as a role model, perhaps we should do what they did with their manager this time last year...?

@Farmer Saint incoming in 3.....2.....1......

Thankfully, we don't have any of those on the Saintsweb Forum...

"Love and light", surely? #stickwiththescript

I've never said or insinuating such a notion, ergo, it's unlikely you'll see me in such a world. But if you actually paid attention, you'd already know that, 'my friend'...

Writing it off as "just one of those mistakes that all keepers make" would also count as protecting him. Maybe, just maybe, Russ was speaking the truth? (Unless you can rule out that possibility...?)

Given he's only been given the opportunity to play the equivalent of 5.5 premier league games* in almost 2 years at the club (*1.2 games under Martin), he's hardly going to have many close scoring attempts in his highlights reel...

In which case, I wonder why Martin lied on MotD at the weekend when he directly linked McCarthy's error to the way he wants him to play, rather than just saying it was "just one of those mistakes that every keeper makes from time to time"...?

Do we have to? I'd much prefer the opposite to reality right now...

Being an old fashioned kind of chap, I would like to believe that an employee would be in breach of their employement contract if they don't do what their employer requires of them... ergo cost-free dismissal... Shirley....?

How come I never get this lucky...?

Which is all well and good, but as others have pointed out, one match we're raising our game against one of the best sides, and the next match we're lackluster against a side that we should be competitive with. If we put in as much effort into beating the lower sides as we did the better sides, then I think you'd get more people agreeing with you re: the merits of 'possession-based football'...

Ah... gotcha... say no more...

Agree with that on the second goal, but my post was in response to a comment on the first goal...
