Seems to have the Shane Long DNA that allows you to draw a foul, no matter where he is on the pitch!

The Next 4 league games are Hull, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, and Derby. By then, I will be judging Still on formation, system of play and league position. Players should be fully bedded in at this point. So he will either rise or fall on those results. I think (and hope) he will succeed. But we should have a much greater indication at this point. I won't be holding the Liverpool game against him, unless we lose to their under-12 side. P.S. What has happened to Flynn Downes?

If he is still playing 5 at the back when all the new signings are fit and eligible to start, I will judge him for it then. I believe (hope) the shape of the team will be addressed when we have everyone bedded in.

On paper, Three Kings for an Ace seems like excellent business. Hopefully, it will work out better than when the Daily Echo declared the same for us bringing in Mark Hughes, Stuart Ripley, and David Howells, after the Kevin Davies Sale. As long as Mads keep up his good start, make him the captain, and we will have a reinvigorated team, free of scar tissue. 😏

The pseud's favourite, with all the charisma and knowledge of a guy who completed a two-day 'leadership' course and decided to make every generalised point a personal life mantra, and every adjustment for a reality an admittance of weakness, is now being shown up for the utter fraud he is. I'm just not sure what would be funnier, him being sacked before his first Old Firm Derby, or being hammered very publicly in a world-famous match against Celtic. I'm leaning towards the latter.

That looks like an incredibly Serene watch (and guide for future walks!). And while I have already seen the map, I thank you for it! The Old Hamlet of Dean is given as one of three sources I have seen, along with Vernon Hill and the 'boiling' waters of the Bishop's Waltham Moors!

Hello All. I'm planning a walk for a group of friends, and one of the top requests is the source to sea for the River Hamble. There are many beautiful locations along the river, but one problem is that I've been given different search results for the source of the Hamble. Has anyone completed the walk, or does anyone know of the definitive 'Official' source/start point?

Ryan Fraser, Newcastle to Southampton.

A long-term problem that has been rewarded for a lack of improvement, and bizarrely, has only seen his influence grow. A loan, with a view to a contract cancellation/free transfer, would be best all round.

First of all, thank you for posting it here. Secondly, the ginger hair and mumbling makes me think of Shy Ronnie. But after the miserable season we've all just endured, I'm willing to give the man a chance, especially given that his record is reasonable, and his appointment has been made before the end of the season, giving time for a summer of Assessment, transfers that are targeted rather than reactive, and a full pre season to bed in tactical play. Here's hoping for a brighter future! Good Luck Will, and Good luck to us watching!

Merry Christmas everyone. Whatever happens from here on out, at least he's and his paper-thin philosphily have gone!

10 days before Christmas, and I can't think of anything less cheerful, hopeful, or bright, than the general atmosphere at St. Mary's that will result from Russell Martin still dictating our dreary style of play. He has become a figure of disdain and ridicule on the touchline, and yet bizzarely presents to the world with the smirk of a 'Hidden genius'. The rest of us just don't get the nuance of his managerial genius.(Inferiority complex masking as a Superiority complex?) Whatever the case may be, it's anthema to the goodwill spirit of the festive Season, and Sports Republic have missed a trick by not replacing him. 🎶🎵Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy🎵🎶

Thank you guys! I'm hoping to have it done in time for Christmas, and I believe you've given me the best options to achive that. Very much appreciated!

If he meant that, and had any integrity, that would mean he had to leave, as he knows he has no ability to improve our performances. I don't think he has, though.
