Sports Republic at their best

Yeh, not as if we want to score another goal this season.

People tend to forget that, and just recall his sending off. But that miss was a critical moment and had we won that match I think we’d have stayed up. (Apart from the FACT that our relegation was purely down to one match - losing to the skates at Fratton of course)

It’s that bit that worries me with SR recruitment record. Just don’t leave us with Stewart and Archer ffs

No, not as I recall. Reid was during our relegation season, with Redknapp in charge. Lowe was negotiating the deal, agreed with his club (Forest) but the player rejected it. Prutton was considered quite a good signing and promising player when he signed. Can’t fault the club for that signing even if he did become a bit of a loose cannon on the pitch.

Obviously didn’t enjoy Dragan’s hospitality last summer, or don’t want to repeat it this year

Probably same for Wrexham. We’ll flag up the potential fee, but at their end it’ll be half of that mentioned (and overlooking the add-ons, ie Rasmus carefully negotiating a £5m add on after his first England game at the World Cup this summer ).

Interesting that both he and Alfie House have become more openly critical of the club in recent weeks. Could be argued that it’s difficult not to be, or perhaps they’re taking a steer from the general public opinion. It can’t have gone unnoticed at the club. Last time Blackmore was so outspoken as I recall was after Jones appointment and there was a rumoured rift between factions at the club ( the old v the new, Semmens and Rasmus possibly in conflict). Wonder if there is such a rift he’s aware of, and he feels gives license to take a side. Probably idle speculation.

Or another ‘B’ list Brazilian to be loaned to Goztepe.

Is this fixture playing for the ‘Gavin Bazunu Trophy’? Loser keeps the clown for the rest of the season.

And then what ? Another EPL season of misery and humiliation? Damned if we do, damned if we don’t springs to mind

Robbie Fowler or Carragher - the fuckers who’d threaten the small kid and nick it anyway

Good image. Is this based on seeing him - late 60’s/70’s - swaggering through town or into a pub wearing a sheepskin coat as was the fashion? The other option he might have had was greengrocer.

Perhaps we’re just clinging to hope that the Liebherrs prove to be our saviours again. My hope is that Katherina arrives for the ‘pow-wow’ (blue suit with white piping if you remember the image) and channels her ‘inner Margaret Thatcher’ to give Dragan, and Spors a bloody good ‘handbagging’ round the head to sort this shit out ( Rasmus cowering under the table ..)

I seem to recall there were photos of her, and her son, at St Mary’s for the skates game as well. They certainly identify and pick the key games.
