This bit is encouraging. Plenty of fans on here seem convinced he is happy that our current first team will be good enough to compete, but this snippet of his interview seems to confirm that he knows we need to improve on it and is confident we will do once a few outgoing deals have been wrapped up. We need to get a wiggle on with that though. Time is ticking away.

I don't think I woukd risk putting any of our first teamers out into this cauldron tonight.

I don't see any 'leaders' out there in pink tonight who could have calmed things down and defused that situation. Charlie was a red card waiting to happen after a couple of skirmishes in the first half.

Off the bar again. Should have scored.

It's only just occurred to me that he was actually playing* in the first half as well. * this word is doing some heavy lifting here, admittedly.

Oh Macca. We're in for a rough ride if he's gonna be our no. 1 this season.

Right bunch of dirty bastards, Lazio.

Manning

That was a horrible challenge on Edwards. Anyone worked out what formation we're playing? Is Manning playing LCB in a back 3?

And there's still a number of posters who think we have someone called Alvarez playing for us.

They are as much about preventing ram raids on shops and banks as they are about preventing terrorism. And using vehicles as weapons of terror is not exclusive to Islamists either. The post you shared was bemoaning the rising immigration since 2008 and cited the installation of anti ram barriers as one of the negative side effects of that, but it's a complete non-sequitur, because they would still exist even if immigration had stopped in 2008. Therefore, it's irrational bullshit. The kind of drivel that is only spouted by idiots who want to believe it's true because it fits with their existing prejudices.

I agree they are an eyesore, but this aspect just reinforces my point about irrational bullshit. Seriously, blaming immigrants for them is just desperate. Does anyone honestly think they wouldn't exist if we had closed our borders in 2008? Come on. There's some true colours being shown on this thread.

Out of interest, which bits do you agree with? Cos from what I can see, this entire post is nothing but a load of irrational, disjointed bullshit that tries and fails miserably to disguise some blatant racism. So what about it resonates with you?

And yet there is no actual evidence of this available anywhere, only speculation. But you continue to state it as absolute fact and flatly refuse to accept that you might be wrong. Why is that, exactly?

Ahem...

So many people apparently don't understand this. It's very easy to criticise the club for not getting their business done early in the window, but they will have done all they possibly can by now, and it's simply a case of the players/agents holding out for a better offer from another club before deciding to commit. This is why so many deals don't happen until the last day of the window and it's the same for the vast majority of clubs, not just Saints. It's frustrating, of course, but it's not a stick to beat SR with. It's simply the way transfer windows work. We have our place in the pecking order, and short of doing a Pompey and spending waaaaaay beyond our means, there's nothing we can do to change that.

Where are you getting that information from?

You think it's obvious, because the assumption you are making supports the narrative that you want to be true. But have you even considered other possibilities? I suspect not. Perhaps because she realised that the appeal would only be relevant to the disqualification in 2023 and would therefore not change anything, so it wasn't worth the stress of going through an appeals procedure when the body that disqualified her has been completely discredited and it would not stop her from being able to compete in other competitions hosted by bodies that are satisfied with her gender eligibility. Or, given the dodgy nature of the Russian-led IBA, perhaps she was being threatened somehow, or offered incentives to drop the matter. We'll never know. Quite simply, there is not enough information out in the public domain to settle this one way or the other with any certainty. But what is certain is that your earlier claim that simply having XY chromosomes makes you biologically male is false, given that not even the IBA are making such a claim in this case.

She's got you wrapped around her finger Turks 😉

You keep referring to this dodgy test by the IBA as proof, but even they would not go so far as to state that Khelif is biologically male, so how you can do that despite never having seen the results of this secretive test they did is beyond me. As to why she withdrew her appeal against this, I cannot say. There are numerous reasons why she might have done that, but it does not in any way prove your case. Seeing as there is no watertight universal definition, no. And neither will you. But this is just a deflection on your part to distract from the key issue here, which is you being unable to substantiate your claim about Khelif being a man. As far as I am concerned, if someone presents as a woman, identifies as a woman, has female genitalia, is registered as a female on birth certificate, raised as a girl, and passed multiple gender tests to allow her to compete as a woman, then she is a woman.

Wow. Went out fir a few hours and he's still on his crusade I see. So basically Hypo, what you're saying is that your entire argument is based on some completely unverified reports you read somewhere else online but can't actually substantiate. That kind of ignorant rumour-mongering is what led to the violence on the streets of Southport the other day. And for the love of God would you please stop referring to Khelif as 'them'. It makes you look like a colossal prick.

It doesn't upset me. You're just wrong, and evidently completely unwilling to acknowledge that.

Wrong again. https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/swyer-syndrome/ "Girls with Swyer syndrome have an XY chromosomal makeup (as boys normally do) instead of an XX chromosomal makeup (as girls normally do). Despite having the XY chromosomal makeup, girls with Swyer syndrome look female and have functional female genitalia and structures including a vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes."
