The Kraken

Flynn Downes is ill again.

Yes. It really is that simple. Well done for explaining it as far as your limit though. Bravo.

Not sure how anybody can be so unequivocal about the fact that JJM has made an awful decision and stunted his development. But lighthouse is gonna lighthouse I suppose.

I found Starmer’s grandstanding of Christian Wakeford pretty poor. I’d have been pretty pissed off had he been my mp.

IMO yes. Like it or not, a large part of what people vote for is the party. There are obviously some MPs who are popular with their constituents for work they’ve done, but for the large part the average voter votes for the party. If you want to move parties then you should have to get elected under than banner IMO. And if that means a by election then so be it.

I think the latter is far likelier than the former in the short term.

Yeah I don’t buy that entirely. No doubt he was key to a Martin system. But he was excellent for us in the championship, our performances without him were notably worse (visibly and points gained). He was very influential for us, and my memory isn’t that he was just a crab midfielder, he was more than that. Has definitely been way off that since promotion.

We won 3 of our first 4 games last time out. It was September when things went tits up. Up to that point, for better or worse, you could see the massive change in playing style and how the layers were working on adopting Russell Martin’s methods. The last ten minutes of keep ball against Sheff Wed was unlike anything I’d seen in any saints side before. With this lot, I’m still failing to see what Will Still brings to the party. The first half today was absurd, just looked rudderless. We keep saying game after game that he needs to be given time. And to an extent any manager does. But there needs to be some seeds of improvement, evidence of what he’s changing or bringing together. Not seeing any of that yet.

3 of the new signings on the bench. Strong squad on paper. Come on then. Let’s see it click together please.

That’s an interview that screams “please just pay me off and I’ll be gone”.

“A Jew born in the holocaust”. Is that the right term for direct comparison? She was born in Oxford to British parents, wasn’t she? I don’t want to invalidate her argument, nor downplay how utterly awful the situation is now. But not sure why she’s so worthy a cause just because she shares a religion and common ancestry.

Thats debatable.

Ant bloody Middleton trying to keep the grift alive 🤣

Genuinely can’t believe just how bad he has made them. Kind of hope he gets a win soon so it keeps him in place.
