[DT]

Nearly missed that even. Not a good pen. But in at least.

JWP will go bottom left. He always does.

ha. Get it. Come on saints.

[hackedoff]

Going to drop through the bottom of this league like a vindaloo through a baby.

[Suhari]

Ohhh handbags!

[OttawaSaint]

Is that our first EPL pen of the season. 

[SNSUN]

Send him off!!!

Those two statements contradict each other.

I admire your valiant effort to counter every single negative comment about Jones and this team, however you appear to have missed how a coordinating conjunction works. The word 'but' in that sentence combines the two, previously contradictory, statements into a new one with different emphasis.

 

(I have nothing to say about the football).

I actually disagree. Me saying this is a knee jerk reaction is a quote in real time from what I'm seeing. Asking him to be sacked, now that would be a knee jerk reaction. Definitely a difference between the two. One is immediate the other is a consequence. 

[Saint NL]

Red card ref!

[OttawaSaint]

Argie bargie. Sanchez has to go. Surely. Letter of the law.

Is it too soon to start a new manager thread? 

No it is not HK my old pal.

[Sheaf Saint]

That should 100% be a second yellow.

[Bad Wolf]

If he hadn't been on a yellow card from 2 minutes later, that's a blatant booking

[adrian lord]

Ref bottled it. But it would have been a 'modern' soft sending off.

[Saint NL]

Nah it's not a booking

[OttawaSaint]

Bottled it. Letter of the law says second yellow Sanchez. Doesn't matter start went on.

Yep. 2 pushes. Head pushed forward. Weak as piss refereeing. 

[Suhari]

Moi off, Mara on.

[Chez]

meh, not much of a push and Adams did smash into him after the whistle had blown. I can live with that ref decision.

[Sheaf Saint]

Elyounoussi going off. I had completely forgotten he was even still on.

[Saint NL]

Nice to see a few of the players getting up for it. Been far too passive for a long time

We recruited him within a day or two of Ralph going so it's not like we spent weeks agonising over candidates. This is not like when Spurs recruited Nuno last year. Nathan Jones was undeniably one of the first names on the spreadsheet, and they couldn't fucking wait to recruit him.

So don't buy this post-rationalisation bullshit from Manji or whoever his source is. What happened show you the facts. Sport Republic wanted Nathan Jones and they got him. 

@manji Keeps referencing certain things without any form of source yet claims he knows a lot of stuff in the club.

[AlexLaw76]

Another pointless signing on - Mara

[Chez]

Lovely pass from Lyanco then a horrific tackle. I guess at least there is some fight there. 

[OttawaSaint]

The utter inability to pass to our own teammates is killing us. Can't see how professionals can be so bad at it. It kills us.

[Saint NL]

Mara shoots, the corner flag is terrified

[OttawaSaint]

I reckon Pompey could turn us over right now. We're just that bad.

[LGTL]

NJ is now onto his FIFTH system of the afternoon. Thank god he’s only had 6 weeks otherwise it might be ten. 

If ever a sign of someone who hasn’t a fucking clue what they’re doing. 

[Suhari]

AA is on.

That means goals, goals, goals.

[Saint NL]

Mara cleared it beyond Aribo, he then ran passed Aribo to chase the ball.

 

Aribo is the laziest player I've ever seen.

[adrian lord]

Is Alan Pardew available?

[Chez]

Thought Jimmy Jay might get a few minutes instead of AA. Oh well, let's see if the break has done him any favours.

[stknowle]

This lot are SO bad I cannot see more than 10-12 points max this season. Fucking awful.

[Saint NL]

As dance coach?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[HKsaint]

It is not just throwing all our strikers into the pitch!

Why play unknown quantity who might actually do something when you can send on pure dross?

Think that's what we'll see. Diffetent lineups, tactics, formations for the next month with NJ complaining how he needs time to sort things out.

 

Damn, if only he had an extended period of time with the squad with no distractions to do this. Such bad luck.

he ran back earlier, without the ball, for more than five yards.  I know, I was surprised too. But you are right, he does the bare minimum. Where do you play a guy that is like that?

[SNSUN]

`I thought we could only make 5 subs 3 times? Haven't we had 5 subs over 4 times?

[FarehamSaintJames]

We need six or seven new players to stay up.

It's different in league 1 but no one has told Jones yet 

[aintforever]

Imagine how shit we will be when the new manager bounce wears off!

Can't see where our next point is coming from.

The last one was the Sympathy Sub.

Like a Concussion Sub, but, well you know....

I was wondering that too

[captainchris]

Adam Armstrong on lol.. That is beyond laughable. This guy Jones is clueless… 

Shant bother against while Jones is there - a complete joke… 

[Saint NL]

Fulham spanking palace today, looks like this easy run of games we have isn't so easy

[HKsaint]

Nathan Jones says it is a good start. At least we are better than Crystal Palace and Foxes! 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I don’t think making subs at half time counts towards the total number of ‘times’. I may be wrong though.
