Saint in Paradise

Who on earth has put up a statue of Jones already? Fans of Portsmouth?

Also what's the betting that IF they get any really awkward questions they use bad weather as an excuse to close the forum early so that "everyone can get home safely? "😀

I am unable to read that and indeed several others on the Echo website as I am not a subscriber. Having written that however and after reading others comments I am still of the opinion that Mr Jones should resign before he damages himself even more and so makes himself unemployable by any other ambitious team in the four Leagues..

Remember the saying "It's the hope that kills you" ? Well I am now quite safe as I no longer have any hope that Saints will stay up.

I saw this joke the other day and it was supposed to be what a wife says to her husband. However I.M.H.O. it could also apply to what NJ and the board think. "I've only ever been wrong once and that's when I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken."

Well if he actually wins lots of PL games he will no longer need to react to personal insults as there won't be any. Any mere draws are not good enough when playing the teams in the lower half of the table. Finally, for now, excellent as that Man City result was it was just as much a fluke as either of the 9-0 results that Ralph presided over.

Instantly that made me think of this lady ( R.I.P. ) as I thought of this.

A truly exceptional musician who will be missed for a long time.

Back on original topic.... at least it's Winter in the UK as over here in NZ it's supposed to be Summer. Since sometime in November we have been subjected to massive amounts of rain and I for one have totally had enough. I blame that Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg Swedish person.

I know that in certain circumstances the good guy finishes last but that doesn't apply when managing a PL team.

Here is a very long thread you might like then 🤣 https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/harry-and-megan-how-long-will-it-last.277296/page-2065

Perhaps SR are lining him up to be the new manager in a couple of weeks time? 😁 😁

I am sure some of the reprobates on here would say that is the only positive thing said about him. 😁

I am starting to wonder if SR etc are really secret Pompey supporters.

I expect Forest will win either 0 - 2 or 1 - 3 😟

Just goes to show that "there are none as blind as them that wants to be"

Well so far this season it shows that Southgate was in fact 100% correct in not picking JWP for England. I have said it for a long time that he is not a suitable captain and at the moment his form is so bad he doesn't even deserve a place on the bench.

Well I see that your Prime Minister shows how out of living in reality he is. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/rishi-sunak-asks-homeless-man-28809909

I seem to remember that about 3 or 4 years ago in the UK that a woman judge said it was patronising to call females "ladies"

When I first saw the name "Terry Hall" I instantly thought of the ventriloquist and Lenny the Lion. I also thought that he had died years ago which in fact he had. I had never heard of the chap it was actually about.

Sick sorry and tired of all the crap ref Harry and Sparkle that appear in on-line editions of so called UK "newspapers" I suspect the actual print versions are just as bad?

Well England set a target of 355. Anyone else seen the Southampton flag? I saw it at the 1st Test as well.

This game is how I think a reasonable Championship team versus a mid table League Two match would look like.

62 Things Trump Did That You Forgot About To Preserve Your Sanity If past is prologue, let’s take a moment to remember just how unsettling things got during the Trump administration, with this not-even-remotely-exhaustive list of weird and bad stuff he attempted while in office: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-president-things-you-forgot_n_63890ec3e4b0d17409602b90 Just a very small sample:- Asked Russia for help in his 2016 campaign — and got it. Had a weird affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin. (Remember the Helsinki summit?) Invited Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to an in-person meeting in the Oval Office, where he accidentally revealed top-secret intelligence. Wanted to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. Separated migrant parents from their children, locked the kids in cages and then failed to reunite them. Insisted that “raking” would prevent forest fires because “you’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important.”

Well here in New Zealand we have to put up with the mob from beIN Sports and they include Andy Gray, Richard Keys and one of the Neville's. They sometimes have Joe Cole and John Terry as well as some others plus some boring drab commentators as well.
