Che to Everton bollocks according to Semmens.

Didn't play last weekend because AA scored more in pre-season. Says RH.

Hmmm.

Ralph admitting he picked Armstrong who is completely ineffective in that role away at a top 6 side, over Adams because “he scored more in pre-season”.

We’re fucked aren’t we.

Ralf waffling, planting flowers, watering them... anybody translate for me...?

He's over-complicating things. He was essentially admitting he didn't know why the squad lost the plot.

He's got to go.

Championship will be fun next season at least

Lis, Valery, Stephens, Simeu, Small, Smallbone, Watts, Tella, Djenepo, Armstrong, Mara... or something like that once all the jewels are sold off. Yippee! 

 

(Ok I'm being extreme but the point stands.)

[whelk]

More about the womens team please. Fucking brilliant questions

Everyone here was saying we should play Armstrong over Adams last week...

[Appy]

Wish Blackmore would shut up 

[Mr X]

Whole thing can be summed up as saints will be happy just to stay in the league and aren't aiming for anything else!

Ralph seems totally nonchalant about his formation and tactical choices, you get the sense that his isn't going to change his approach to games 

[trousers]

Ralph losing his rag a bit now...

[Master Bates]

Someone ask about Tella

[Colinjb]

Enough about what you feel Ralph, what are you going to bloody do?

[Saint Scott]

That question on commitment pissed raplh off 😂

[Micky]

At Brentford we were really shit...!

[JRM]

First time I've ever really listened to Simmens, not impressed at all , women's game will be as big financially and commercially as the mens , absolute nonsense and he knows it.

Some clown in the rainbow shirt there over a check shirt FFS

Lots of filibustering to reduce number of questions asked from the floor. Last couple of questions on mental resilience understandably, which wasn’t really answered. Semmens - yes, they are 5% off but why? Yes, Brentford was shit Ralph. Blackmore doing my head in. 

[whelk]

Is that Turkish asking question about womens in the pride shirt?

And asking a question that let's be honest most people don't really care about

I think we are all desperate for Armstrong succeed, no issues with him being picked. It was playing him alone that was the issue.

I thought of you when it went to him

[JRM]

The fan was right , no way on earth games like Brentford away end of last season they were putting in 100% , Simmens waffling that he goes as well and misses his kids, nonsense. 

[whelk]

Decent question questioning effort but sorts who attend these are not normal football lads as a rule 

[Appy]

We’re going down aren’t we?

[trousers]

If these forums are now going to cover more than one football team at the club, rather than just Saints, then it's going to need to be longer than one hour.

I'd never wear it over a check shirt, he must be sweating his bollocks off.

whats the plan for during the world cup and all we hear is about coming and watch the womens team, STFU

You know he can never answer otherwise though

I'm still convinced there are more than 3 teams that will finish below us. I reckon we'll be OK once Ralph sorts out some of the tactical issues and we get out of this rut.

[trousers]

So no ownership questions then. Must be a first 

[Turkish]

when will Prowses testimonial be? Jesus wept

[Pamplemousse]

Last question about JWP testimonial 

[haddock22]

have we actually learnt anythink new from this?

Good last question, I'm not happy with this "let's just stay in the league" stuff

[sydenhamssocks]

All questions just laughed off really. Telling us what the DNA of the club is. Crap!  Laughing at people who are trying to articulate questions. Blackmore not helping. Clowns. 

[trousers]

Best question squeezed in at the end but little time to answer it

Think it just gave an easy out. I'd have preferred something more specific.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Definitely going down unless he changes formation and tactics and ships out the deadwood and brings in players that can compete IMMEDIATELY! 

[Mr X]

That is their only ambition! Semmens talks rubbish contradicts himself  

[whelk]

Fck this, Vince is smashing it round the ground

[Pamplemousse]

Ralph's been honest, his direct style will rub people up the wrong way but at least he's not being wishy washy

Martin has been a bit too confrontational and defensive for me.

Toby gave a poor response to the away fans issue, basically dismissing it as not a problem, when it obviously is.

[Colinjb]

Removed as I posted something misleading.

Do you think Lavia competed immediately?

Martin might be the king of saying a lot without actually saying anything, pretty disappointed in his responses

You did, he said there will be players going out, players coming in, potentially

He definitely didn’t say that

[AlexLaw76]

Poor fans forum.

the tone was set about how grateful we should be just playing in the league. We can’t defend so need to play 5 at the back, and we have signed young players who need time to learn how to play 4222. However, being young is not a limiting factor, more about quality rather than experience. 
 

Ralph a little rattled and said it is not easy being saints manager, and the team have been a bit shit. Also, Broja just stopped being good from about March.

We are going down IMO. The stage was set about just being grateful to be playing in the league.

I though Big Adam was going to start crying at the start. Jesus wept!
