Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

The board are complete wankers for giving him a new contract b fore a ball was kicked in the Prem. Anyone in their right mind would have said, 'let's see how you're doing after 10 games'. Now it's going to cost about £10m to get rid of the clueless fuckwit and a small fortune to get Potter or Moyes, who I think are the only managers who stand any chance of keeping us up. Eustace, Rohl, etc. are just as big a gamble as Martin was.

Clueless. Only knows how to play one way. Keeps saying that it's his responsibility, which is admirable, but if that's really the case then admit you're out of your depth and fuck off and let someone else come and have a go.

We can stay here all night trying to analyse this. The fact remains.... We are fucking shite.

We went 1 up and I said to my colleague in work, 'you just know Ipswich will equaliser or score two in injury time. They did it so many times last season.' Approaching 90 mins he said, 'you're hanging on.....' A few minutes later he looked at me and said 'what did you say? You should have had money on that'.

That was fucking awful. If our board has any bollocks they'll give RM the boot in the morning.

The problem is the play offs. "Ohhh, they generate interest at the end of the season and offer the promoted team a boost in finances." 🙄 All it does is allow a team that didn't really deserve to be promoted, and often finished 10 points behind the top 2, being promoted into a league where they'll never compete. The playoffs aren't about football. They're all about money and this is what happens almost every season.

Potter or Moyes. Either would be better than this muppet.

Decent midfield and attack. Still way off with the defence. Russell's insistence on starting Stephens will cost us. How is he a better option than THB? Joke.

If I can look at a team and say Ugochukwu instead of Smallbone. Archer in for Armstrong and Fernandes for Aribo, then why can't our bloody manager? RM has shown massive nativity so far this season. I said 0 pts from our first 5 games and I stand by that.

Surprise, surprise. Losing again. I don't understand the team choice at all. I've not seen a single comment from anyone who thinks he's got it right today. Why would you pick this team again when it hasn't looked good enough. RM talked about players at Cardiff who had done really well and staked their case only for him not to play them. Stephens? Smallbone? Aribo? Armstrong? FFS, we've spent a small fortune on players and they're all sat on the bloody bench. 😡

That starting lineup has really pissed me off. Stephens again FFS. Archer should be starting as should Fernandes and Ugo. This team looked poor last week against Forest so why pick the same line up again? We'll go a goal or two behind and then RM will look to change things. Idiot.

Ipswich's recruitment makes ours look like amateur hour.

2 games in. 2 defeats. I thought we'd have 1 point after our first 5 games, with that point being picked up today. 😩 It doesn't bode well when the areas that needed addressing last season still haven't been addressed. A creative midfielder and an out-and-out striker. We've bought BBD and CA who basically play the same role. If we stopped playing that waste of Space, Stephens, then we could have another midfielder on the pitch.

I still don't understand why we didn't go for Szmodics. He played with BBD at Blackburn. Scored 33 in all competitions last season.and has already got 3 goals in 2 games this season. Much cheaper than O'Reilly. On paper Ipswich's recruitment looks very impressive.

If we're out of the race for O'Reilly then why are we not looking at Szmodics? He's off to a great start this season. He's played with Diaz and seemingly had a good partnership with him, from what I've read. I don't understand Saints at all. No striker. No creative midfielder. No goalkeeper. If Diaz gets injured early in the season what options do we have? These were top priority and they've failed with all 3.

If we need a striker than why not just get someone like Carlton Morris from Luton? I still think we'll end up with Ings on some kind of deal.

Remember saying that I'd like to see us go for him when he was at Forest, before he became Diaz. This seems like a good bit of business.

Huddersfield Town and Brighton have really great designs for next season. I look at both shirts and think, these would look great in red & white. Instead we end up with what looks like a non-league shirt.

The more I look at these the more I think Cambridge Utd & Exeter City. 😩

I guess that kit manufacturers knock up a handful of designs for the club to then choose the ones they like best? If this is the case then whoever has the final say at Saints clearly has little taste. Other than last season, which was a safe bet as it was a replica of a popular 80's kit, Saints shirts have been piss poor for years. It can't be a case of every manufacturer being rubbish at designing kits. They seem to do ok with other clubs so it must be that we have Stevie Wonder making the final decision.

Said for years that we should wear yellow & black, not yellow & blue. However, The kits are fairly bobbins. Home looks like a non-league affair. Sponsor looks terrible. Complete lack of imagination, again.

The lad that plays for Hassenhuttle's Wolfsburg. Jonas Wind.

Eddie Nkiteh and Brerton Diaz

I asked the same question yesterday. Swansea pages were saying it was a done deal and would be announced a couple of days ago. Since then, nothing. 🤷‍♂️
