Fair enough Vs the big boys. Please explain how that works against the mighty Watford, Villa and Newcastle, when we also were total garbage and looked disinterested and all over the place ?? No press, passing for the sake of passing and giving it away cheaply. Something has changed in the last 6 weeks, and it happens every game. Either the players have given up trying or the manager is not motivating them.

Just a couple of weeks ago at home to Watford. Salisu set up Hernandez beautifully for their first goal….

I understand he’s not an Ederson, but I think we’d need two new centrebacks as well to comfortably play out from the back. Whenever we play out or as I call it “piss around at the back” we look like we are going to concede as we are closed down and start playing increasingly desperate and suicidal passes. it gives me kittens watching it because we aren’t good enough to do it reliably. Obviously the cool and hip way to play, but I bet we concede more from errors doing it, than we ever create in goals at the opposition end. I agree Forster and McCarthy don’t do it well, and a more comfortable with ball at his feet type might, but I’d rather we got a keeper who makes saves, dominates his area, and isn’t the team’s weak link. Saying there are loads in European football who are cheap and better is all well and good, but you’ve got to pick the right one, based on zero PL experience. Who is to say you don’t pick another Gazziniga, rather than the new Ederson?

If Burnley go down, which is very possible, i’d like us to go for Nick Pope as our keeper. Better than what we have in every way, experienced, and I’d hope affordable for us 🤞🤞

Because what I think of a player is irrelevant compared to what Ralph thinks of him. If Ralph thinks he can get a tune out of him that's what counts, but I'd hope Ralph would have him here on loan first. Better explanation?

I personally think that if he can’t get in the Spurs side in front of Mr average Hoijberg, it’s a no. Spuds fans think he’s shit, I think he’s shit, and Levy valued him at 35mil. 🤣🤣 Only way I’d want him is on loan, with an agreed valuation. If he’s any good (unlikely!) we sign him, else thanks but no thanks, bye. Likely. I wouldn’t even consider a deal with shister Levy. He’s not worth dealing with. KWP was young and had potential, - Winks isn’t and hasn’t. I’d be gutted if we signed him - just no.

Can’t disagree with that. I just got fed up with seeing them bring subs on that cost more than half our team. I wish I was smart enough to think of a song along to chant at them along the lines of “where would you be without your desert millions…” They have deluded fans who are divorced from the real world of football now. We’ve still won the Champions League as many times as them though 😂😂 Football Is ruined by the bankrolled “big teams” and it ruins it as a spectacle now for me. I wish they would disappear into a super league and leave football for proper teams. I think the turning point was Grealish going off - he was turd today and they played much better without pretty boy..

Looks like Valery coming in to me…

He really has contributed nothing young Smallbone. Got to get Broja on. We look so sluggish, no runs, all static, not enough pace in the side. Change it please Ralph. Defending has been Tyro league, pissing about at the back, crap balls, poor decisions, Salisu playing like he wants to stay next season - eg crap and no one looking at him will be impressed!

How on earth did Sanchez not walk for that challenge? That was an assault on Diaz 😬

We have been on a great run, today was just one of those days where nothing worked out. Missed Salisu for sure, Bednarek and Jack are not a good enough combo at the back - both too slow and don’t read the game as well as Salisu. Hey ho, onto Newcastle and back to winning ways 🤞🤞

Think the result will heavily depend on the strength of the referee - Spurs are masters of buying free kicks and cheating their way through a game. Son and Kane (always in the ref’s ear) are the prime culprits. Hate seeing it, at St Mary’s the audible screams when spurs players dived was cringeworthy. Barring any cheap cheat goals I think we will do alright. 1-2 to Saints 🤞🤞

Bakery what were you thinking 🤦‍♂️

Available in non hd now, but hd channel vanished. Bloody Welshwoman ruin8ng the commentary anyway🤦

Get in there!

Wtf was that Smallbone? No composure whatsoever…🤦‍♂️

So where does this leave children in the rules? I have a 15 year old and a 13 year old who have been single jabbed….Are children now banned? So confusing.

We are in a bit of a slump currently, Arsenal away was never a game you’d pick as winnable, anything other than defeat would be an unexpected bonus. It won’t relegate us… But the team are all over the place. How the hell psychologically does Ralph’s selections affect the team? Lyanco - dropped, but wasn’t the worst last week. Peraud - can’t get in a poor side at left back, because our right back is there. Hello Ralph, wtf? Our captain and leader is so out of form he needs dropping, he adds nothing whatsoever to the side currently, apart from slowing us down with his backwards sideways passing. Elyounoussi is back, but to me adds nothing at all to the side, he’s still too slow and out of his depth in the premier league. Tella has started the last two games but again adds some pace but nothing resembling an end result. Bednarek has lost his bearings and gone from just about average to poor. Our defence last year was porous and poor, so we signed a left back we rarely play (Ralph’s signing), a cheap centre back who is fourth choice and has not improved our starting side at all. He keeps changing the line up, never a settled team. I would like to see Peraud at left back, KWP at right back, Salisu and Stephens (best of a distinctly below average bunch) Romeu and Diallo in CM, Livramento on the right and Redmond left (assuming Mr made of glass Djenepo is injured). Adams and Broja up front. Then stop tinkering. After 3 years you still have no clue about the best starting line up.

This. Lots of teams get spanked by Liverpool. 4-0 not the worst result. Arsenal looked appalling against them last week, we are not alone….

Get in there Saints 😁😁😁😁 Well played boys - kept us on the edge of our seats, but take the 3 points 🏅

This is a Saints nightmare game. Burnley will play deep, 10 players behind the ball, rely on quick breaks and dead ball opportunities. We know Saints are notoriously incapable of breaking down teams who play deep…. We must score first, else Burnley will happily take a 0-0 draw. Sadly I can see 0-0 or 0-1 Burnley being the outcome, with Saints having 70% possession and not being able to unlock the Burnley back lines. Wood scores from a corner…. I hope I’m completely wrong - I have a bet with a guy at work that this will be last up on match of the day tonight…

Get in Broja 😁😁😁😁😁😁

For me:- McCarthy KWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud Livramento Romeu Diallo A Armstrong Broja Djenepo I know it won’t happen because it is 4-3-3 and not the ‘fabled’ 4-2-2-2 but there we go!

Only player looking dangerous for England is Grealish. So he gets subbed off 🙄. Kane who has been dogshit is England’s equivalent of Redmond and stays on regardless….

Bednarek with some absolutely dire, weak defending. Out muscled by someone half his size. Crap.
