Loved the 'He's on of your own' song at the Leeds game

Looks like another by-election could be in the offing if the good folk of Wellingborough and Rushden want rid of Peter Bone(r). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67122669

I'm out with the dogs and I'm doing my civic duty with the poo bag and I go to the area where one of them has crapped, and I bend down and scoop the turd inside the bag only to find it's stone fucking cold!

As predicted the veritable banana skin. Even got the score right. Don’t like to be right. It seems the moment we see an easy win on the horizon and on here we get 4-0 score predictions and the like it all goes tits up.

This has got banana skin written all over it. Confident expectation has a habit of coming back to haunt us. 1-1.

Problem is you’ve got form for this over the years. Never seem happy whatever we do. We won, that’ll do for me. We go again Saturday.

Tino getting a run out

Everyone who knows me, knows I'm a Saints fan. No-one laughing at us in Berkshire, mind you there's Reading for the locals to worry about! As many point out most people seem to do Prem only, so they don't give a monkeys arse about what goes on outside of it.

We will walk this league!

I gave up with relegation, fed up with investing emotional capital with these cunch of bunts. Interest now peripheral. Get more laughs watching people losing their shit on here, but that’s not right.

Wouldn’t have got rid in the first place. He was t SRs man so had to go.

Not happy then?

I reckon you might just be out of luck.

Wonder what the score will be At ten to eight?

There are times that I wish that my dad had taken me on a train to London in October 63, to Stamford Bridge, Highbury or WHL or wherever instead of The Dell, but he didn’t, so I’ve endured the peak and troughs of being a Saints fan for nearly 60 years. It will all come good again, might take a while, 4 seasons out in the 70s and 7 seasons out more recently, we’re not traditionally a bounce back club but it will happen and nights like this will be forgotten.

Spot on here. Also I’ve never really understood the whole embarrassment thing. I’ve had a new kitchen fitted over the last couple of weeks, both the fitter and the electrician are regulars at SLC/Mad Stad, and we think we’ve got problems.

We lack shape particularly when we lose possession and there are no fucking leaders out there. Last promotion we had SRL, Dean Hammond, Jose Fonte, Frazer Richardson and Adam Lallana who were either out and out leaders or led by example. You might want to add GDP to that as well. Great though JWP was for us we were devoid of a leader last year and look where that got us, until we address that there will be more disappointments like Sunderland and this evening. As The Duckhunter would have it. Too many sons in law on the pitch this evening.

That bit is probably where we are. It’s a message as a fan base we don’t want to hear. It is what it is however.

I braved the second half on Sky and your statement sums up where we are atm. You can’t play a possession game with players whose confidence on the ball has been blasted through the floor. Big job for Martin.

As I replied elsewhere some irony in that post. That said I think at present the fan expectations are perhaps a little unrealistic and comments on here are knee jerk angry when it doesn’t go right which gets a tad tiresome. I find it amazing that people think we’ll piss this league, clearly after the last two games we won’t. Early days still, long season and all that. Signs aren’t great, but I’ll write of the season if we’re just as bad in November not now. .

There may have just been the merest hint of irony in my post

Loving the positivity on here this evening.

Reading

Well there you go. Not one moment wasted on watching that during the first 45. Right, royally entertained on here mind. Almost as funny as Forest (h) last season.

I could watch this on Sky but quite frankly I can’t be arsed
