I dont know why you are insulting people. If you believe RM did anything but discourage TP then you are not as bright as you believe you are. TP is to RM idea of style of play that Rachel Reeve is to an employer.

All teams in history have played the ball around the back to a degree, not the fanatical way a few clubs are doing now. RM was such a disciple to it, we are being punished for that madness. In just 2 games the more sensible way has shown that the chances against us has been reduced dramatically. In my opinion, the players lost their faith in the style of play and perhaps delighted to have the freedom of playing the game that they first played the game. If i appear stupid then i'm doing a good job as Iam. I live a life that most would dream of and so Im not doing too badly.

Im not sure which teams that play it around the back are doing well. Even Man City are now struggling. As for your taking a minus 10 point reduction is stupid, well Everton and Forest who both outspent, thus making their squads more than capable of staying up may be better than having a squad of Championship players

Amazing we give him a short contract but gave so many long terms

Martin only gave him game time at the last knockings. He has fallen on his sword by being absolutely unable to change his conviction of his possession based football. He deserved to be sacked in the end due It was heresy in his eyes the thought of playing a ball high into the box and I recall that one game we had the chance to play the ball from a set play in when we were 1 down in injury time and the ball went back to Ramsdale. It is interesting to see that the clubs who are playing the ball around the back are now seemingly struggling. It has been worked out, especially against the less skilled teams at the lower reaches of the league. It is a fad and unless you have extremely highly skilled players throughout the team it is hard to put into practice.

Im not sure if I had the choice, was I asked? If the clubs voted for it then I suppose so but Leicester did not get a penalty and so was the intention that if you wronged you got a penalty?

All opinions, but I love watching him but he is still learning and perhaps we will get the most for him financially now. Come the summer the vultures will be around

I read that we and other clubs promoted are hampered by FFP rules. I wonder what are the sanctions, is it 10 point penalty. If so it may be worth that to try and strengthen the squad like Forest, Leicester and Everton did as the penalties never covered what they gained. Leicester never even got theirs !! I may be talking nonsense but if it is a 10 point penalty worth the gamble as the way it going if you get promoted youre going to go down dismally anyway

Its going to his head. His mind seems to have been scrambled by his agent. He should have set up TP for a tap in. He is greedy and doesn't seem to look for players in a better position. Great potential, but if we could get a good fee for him January and sign a more proven PL player then I would sell. Afterall he wont be here after the summer and so why not get the money in to invest to try and help us now

Yeah theres loads of those out there who will be gagging to play for a side who are likely to be relegated

Controversial as you're wrong. Get the first and more will come. Hes snatching a bit as he so wants it

I find it funny that all these football fans who with the slight snivel are bed bound and cant work for days, sneer at someone with a debilitating injury. Yes he left after we were relegated but after a ex Saints footballer called him out feigning injury (which it wasnt) and the lack of respect given to him , no doubt helped hm to be keen to leave. Apparently there were many players knocking on the managers door wanting to leave including JWP but thats ok as he's one of us lol

Im sure your reply is tongue in cheek, but I have been carrying a frozen shoulder for 18 months, Apart from the sleepless nights the pain is pretty fierce. Therefore I totally understand why he couldn't play. As for a knee injury again it is debilitating

Would help if he had a run of games not last few minute snippets. When we played Liverpool he gave them one of their hardest games of the season and bullied VVD and Konate. Give him 5 full games to prove one way or another, AA has had at least 12 and scored a rebound off a penalty, he may have got another but not sure

For extra context this is Saints who let goals in for fun

My take is that I feel this is a great point. We could have had a penalty and stole a win. When Traore came on i feared the worse as he always torments us. A good scrapping performance and not too much playing around at the back. Our forwards are too lightweight and need a help up alongside one of them. Ramsdale save marvellous and won us the point. Iam still mad enough to believe we can survive but it will need Tall Paul or another strong forward to score 5-10 goals from now on in. Tyler seems a tad lost and Im sure all the speculation around him doesnt help. The 3 centre backs did well, the fans brilliant as well Onwards and upwards.

I got the Split bit but cant quite work out the Viking bit. Did he come to Saints on Viking cruise line? The are other lines that I cant fathom, Let us know what that all points to with the new incumbent

I think it goes 2 ways as the Northam were singing 'we're coming for you' the other day

Bit harsh, Turkish is our Comedy Ali. He would put up a blank page and claim there is a clue to a manager/player. Funnily enough I knew of a person who put a blank canvass in an art gallery/exhibition and called it 'Milk bottle in the snow' got loads of attention.

Devastating if true

I will be upset if we let Tall Paul go, he gives me hope and great entertainment. As you say it will be typical blinkered Saints to let someone who could score 5-10 goals between now and the end of the season

I think you will find it was obvious Wee man was coming to us as soon as the play off final was won.

Thatwill be interesting, all those faceless idiots throwing abuse will disappear

When did you put the verse in as Aaron had been rumoured to be coming here for months, even after the playoff final

Oh come on Turkish has been working for hours on that explanation. 😀
