So thin skinned.

I think the real answer to this question is that Rasmus is co-founder of sport republic and hence co-owner of saints. I get DS pays the bills but I don't think he can just sack the others because he pays more. He would have to buy them out, which they would have to agree to do. Can anyone shed light on whether my understanding is correct?

When was the last PL manager to honourably resign due to poor form? "Departed by mutual consent" doesn't count because we all know that's not really mutual it's just the nice way of saying someone's been sacked. I'm sure it used to happen in the old days but I can't remember the last time.

For a moment I thought this said Tony Robbins - there are worse coaches out there, could be an inspired SR pick?

Post of the season for me. Do keep us updated

But washing your sheets occasionally is a good idea, just generally speaking

can't say his finishing looks that decent from the inevitable youtube montages ... looks great when it goes in, but lots of missing the target from arm's length trying to blast a hole in the net too. i'm optimistic anyway. not sure if it's just me but not having che around feels like a weight off the shoulders, that we might not have to create 5 chances for every goal.

Genuine question - fair enough this is your belief, but we also know there is absolutely no chance Rusty is going to change his play style. The style also got us promoted (with a few notable bumps along the way of course). Does your opinion mean you think the club should have ditched or should ditch the manager? Are you in the old language "Russell out"? Just curious as it feels to me like he is the least divisive manager we have had in a while but interested to hear thoughts.

have the goals been posted anywhere? would mind seeing

These are all very childish. Uno better.

They’ve been cooking on Blue Peter, now they’re sampling the dishes I don’t usually like tomatoes, John, but these are delicious

yoda?

how long has it been? are we any good? does anyone remember the rules? has puel got the sack yet?

Black smoke… sack … bloke.. MARTIN OUT

did you intend that censored vowel to be an 'o' or a 'u'? just curious which avenue of insult you were pursuing 😆

Ah interesting, cheers for clarifying. I am certainly not in tune to the regional sensitivities of Catalonia!

isn't Girona also who Ori left us for or am I misremembering? Crazy to leave for your hometown club, then go to Barca late in your career, then see your boyhood club above them in the table without you! Obviously early season but what a story.

To be fair I think that's why he was cranky. To be in a 10-game unbeaten streak, having one 7 of those, without ever playing consistently at your best could definitely be seen as a positive but the fanbase is very jaded.

The WBA fan on TSP was absolutely wetting his pants at this goal, he said something like if it was in the PL it would be goal of the season but because it's in the champ it doesn't get air time. Good goal, for sure, but I feel a little more confident seeing it. I don't think we would give them that much time in the box.

Watching the game tonight I’ve finally figured sport republics vision. They do say it’s a long term project for them… keep Russell as long as it takes for the toxic SMS atmosphere to actually turn him into Daniel Farke (6-10 years, supplemented by a diet of vegan burgers and cigarettes)

Are we playing better or are Leeds playing extremely lazily? I genuinely can’t tell

Anyone else read that in this voice?

just got a fax from my source who says che'llsee what pops up out of the blue...

In other news, Ruben has an early competitor for the 2023/24 "I was fashionable in the 2000s" award. Which look is worse?

Rusty was pretty black and white in the press conference about him too - not word for word but "I know him, I've played with him and against him, and if I had any doubts about attitude he wouldn't be here." Think it will be a good signing and likely to become perm if we go up.
