Singapore Saint

Just saw that Simon Rusk is a 66/1 long shot to be our next permanent manager. Those odds will dramatically shorten if the team carry on their "second half" form into the next game and we, dare I say, win 🙂

Just warming up the engine...

Why not Rusk until the end of the season on the basis of that second half?

Moroccan relegation specialist Itsan Emer Gency please.

I think having a hotter WAG helps with the PR.

The oppressed and vulnerable are the British people who have to put up with illegal immigration.

Jones is not to blame, he did his best, smart arse Ankersen is the one at fault.

I think he will. He knows relegation is his fault, especially being captain, as much as anyone else's and he will stay to help get us back up as soon as possible. He's not in the England team anyway so his playing chances won't be affected. Of course the freekick record is a consideration but I sense he's the loyal type and genuinely loves the club. He would have left already (for Aston Villa or another club) if he didn't love Saints. So yeah, I think he'll stay.

I largely agree with your analysis of our players as individuals but we're not down yet. There are 14 games left to go, not 4. Keep the faith, stranger things have happened. I for one have not given up hope on our admittedly motley crew.

Agreed, Salisu would have stuck out his foot to block and clear it. And someone ought to tell Bazunu he needn't dive for every shot, if the ball is low and near, he can clear it with his foot (like Fraser Forster used to do for us).

My uncle, a very successful man, used to say, "In life be clever, but not too clever by half."

Why do they call him Will Smallpiece?

Or the record of youngest Saints player to be sold which is probably held by Tyler Dibling (although that might not count as his sale was cancelled shortly afterwards) and the current holder is the recently departed JJ Morgan or perhaps Theo Walcott or Gareth Bale?

I remember about 15 to 20 years ago, there was a lad playing for us called Harry Ball. He was literally scoring for fun and touted as a huge prospect. I wonder what happened to him, does anyone know?

I don't think it helps a player's confidence if we're constantly slagging him off (although I don't think the players read this forum). We can't afford to have a chip on our shoulder over past remarks. If we're going to pull off a great escape, we need to all row the boat in the same direction.
