If you’d swapped goalkeepers they’d have won, no way his crisp packets are keeping the one Peretz saved out. I’m surprised more wasn’t made of that, because it was a brilliant piece of glovesmanship.

I’m still not convinced this wasn’t linked to THB & some sort of accounting trick to tick the SCR/SSR (or whatever they’re called) rules. They sign him for X amount of millions, but don’t play him, and we get this chump for £9 million, £9 fucking million!!!! There’s a few look dodgy to me the last couple of years. Garnacho to Villa for £43 million after an obligation, yeah not linked to Rodgers and Martinez that one 🤔 Wouldnt surprise me in the least if there’s some sort of accounting wheeze being used, as his fee has defo been inflated whilst they get a player they don’t seem to want to play. He’s still pony.

I think he went to give it, saw the Lino had a clear view, so froze thinking if the Lino didn’t give it perhaps it wasn’t. I think they basically left it to each other. I’m pretty sure had it happened down the other wing where there was no Lino, he’d have given it, he even went to put the whistle to his mouth. I read somewhere he’d apologised afterwards to some players, which if he did, fair play. Doesn’t alter the fact it was a bad mistake, but most refs I’ve been involved with don’t admit mistakes and double down. Most are arrogant twats, maybe this one is just a twat….

Very frustrating. Some awful finishing and WTF was that formation at the start of the game. Bolton looked ok, but we should have won. Prowe’s best game since his return. Another clean sheet, fucking look along the line, & Dobbin is still pony.

I’m with you on that one. I’d start Bragg instead.

I can see loads of top teams saying to themselves. “Let’s get the guy in who was directly responsible for Southampton being kicked out of the play offs , who then failed to get them up the following season, that’s exactly what we need”. If the likes of QPR or Swansea finish above us, why would they bother with those chumps, when they can get Tonda….A bloke who nearly took a club with parachute payments and top championship players up, will be in demand.

He’s very selective who he asks the “hard questions” to. The toughest question he asked Ralph was “how are you”. He waffles too much, all his questions start with a load of waffle which he manages to insert his opinion into

Let’s hope so, because it’s not been good enough so far. I thought he was lucky to come out second half on Weds, but he upped the performance level from pony to OK. One clearance off the line and a couple of turns doesn’t alter the fact he’s been a massive let down……so far.

Fuck off will he. The only players who get stick are the ones we didn’t want to leave. Seeing him in another teams shirt will bring great joy all over the stadium , no bitterness at all.

“Bandwagon of hatred”, some people need to man up. If Blackmore can’t stand the heat he needs to get out of the kitchen, god knows what he’d be like if he faced real hatred. He’s a cockwomble, An Alan Partridge tribute act, but I doubt anybody hates the chump.

Why do people have to exaggerate and make up ridiculous scenarios which are never going to happen…….Baz keeping a clean sheet, 😂😂

Octopus is great for that. Bit more expensive during day, but cheap as anything overnight. If you’re on your own and can control your usage I’d look at the Octopus prime outgoing. They will pay you more to export during prime periods. They did have octopus Flux which paid 29p a KWh to export in evening, but they’ve pulled it. You could export from your battery at 29p, then top it back up over night for 6p.

I don’t want to appear all Ed Milliband like, but fuck me Solar panels “appear” to be a decent option if you’re heavy electric user. We spent about £60 a week this time of year, have had Panels & Battery storage for a month, and the average is now £20 a week, and we’ve even had an £11 week. That’s without having an export tariff yet . Get on a cheap overnight tariff and you can charge the battery up, so even if there’s not going to be any sun the following day, so you’re getting 7p rate for all your peak time electric on cloudy days. We got a local mush round, who designed it all for solar the whole day (some on front, side & back of house), rather than national installers who do it all remotely and just put a block of them on one pitch. Of course the initial out lay is a lot, 15k in our case (but no VAT at moment), but I’d seriously consider if you’re going to be staying put for a while, and use a lot of electric. We’ve done it to ensure we can afford the bills when we’re retired, after a month it’s looking like a decent investment.

If Baz is at his best, it’ll be tough to get more than 4 or 5 past him. With JWP & Manning on corner duty, we should be able to really put him under pressure & expose his Warwick Davies like jumping ability. That and a few hit slightly off centre to the left of him, his continued bad luck, and his record at SMS, I’m going for a 7-2
