I reckon Selles should be sacked.  What a fucking fraud.  Joke of a manager.

Same tbh .. having him in charge is like we have given up.. everyone moans about how jones was a silly appointment with hardly any top flight  experience but this guy has practically no experience at all..

It’s like he’s just trying to copy Ralph’s shitty slow possession 442 with more stupid team selections then jones ..

Don’t get me wrong, Theo has done pretty well since coming back in…..but as the target forward?

Nah

Agreed, we're going down anyway, get rid of him , has been key part of coaching team throughout this disaster of a season 

[Wade Garrett]

It’s like he doesn’t take into account previous games when he picks his side.  We’re bottom and create fuck all.  We’ve got one of the best in the business at putting the ball in the box and a giant of a striker.  But no, Selles trying to be a clever cunt again.  More tippy-tappy negative shite to look forward to.  I wish I’d have stayed at home.  Selles is a fucking onion.

Several warm flat Kingfishers it is then. Jesus wept.

Yeah must have memory problems.

We have seen Elyounoussi do the square root of fuck all every time he picked but this procession of clown shows we call managers think it's a great idea to pick him. 

Onuachu looked dangerous when he came on and is benched. Makes no sense.

[captainchris]

What on earth is Selles about????

Has anybody got any idea at all. He even makes Jones look normal… Utter disgrace of a team .. Ellybloodywhats he called yet again! It’s hard enough with eleven men but ten and Selles in charge! What is the actual point?

[suewhistle]

Ah well, I see Man City are respecting us by playing Haaland, Mahrez, De Bruyne from the start.

How reassuring..

I've had a few cheap pints in a 'spoons today. Probably not enough though to numb the pain sufficiently..

Why did you leave?

[Baird of the land]

Slow-youn-essi again. A winger as a isolated striker too. It just screams we're petrified don't beat us 9-0.

Personally i find it disappointing we haven't gone with players who did well last time we beat City(Djenepo and Mara) under jones.

[obelisk]

Our most dangerous attacker, Perraud, rewarded by being dropped to the bench.

Tbf he's absolutely shite defensively.

Got 0-0 written all over it.

Edit: sausage finger meant 0-9

Elyanoussi playing. Thank god for that. Rewarded for his string of excellent performances.

Fuckin saggy in the studio, if it could get any worse

Oh it can certainly get worse. We haven't kicked off yet.

[OttawaSaint]

Could we just forfeit this one? Take a 0-3.

[Suhari]

Good afternoon.

We're gonna get dicked.

[Tanlee]

Praying the first cost cutting measure next season is to get rid of that fucking depressing brass band before kick off 

[obelisk]

If Saints can keep them at bay for more than the first 20 minutes I'll be gobsmacked.

[bangkoksaint]

We’re doing okay so far

[OttawaSaint]

I wonder what other players think when they see moi on the teamsheet.

We fucking hated it when the coach put in the Geography teacher's son. He was fucking shit.

Sod off, most of us love them.

[OttawaSaint]

Seeing that shit teamsheet takes away any ounce of nervousness or excitement for this game. I couldn't care less now. We're going to get totally humped.

[obelisk]

City cut through Saints press with ease. Good save Baz.

Give him the ball and we’ll get it straight back.

Who's up front? Sulemana or Alcaraz?

[skintsaint]

Well 7 mins in and still 0-0. Let's call it a draw?

[OttawaSaint]

Sunshine making it hard to see who's who. 

[FarehamSaintJames]

The team sheet, as I said when announced for the West Ham game, shows how weak our squad is.

There is no really good starting team for us. You have your core players in JWP, Lavia, KWP - then a mismatch of average or shit around them.

 

[ibizasaint]

anyone got a decent stream please?

 

[miserableoldgit]

Looks like a training ground knockabout for City at the moment....

[Saint Billy]

I will feel a bit more optimistic when we actually touch the ball. 

 

[FarehamSaintJames]

This is just a training ground kick about, attack vs defence.

I don’t expect anything out of today. It’s just a shame we appointed a fraud earlier in the season and an inexperienced coach now. Again this falls on SR. 

As does the transfer policy. Begs the question what the point was in Onuachu and Orsic; transfer position tick box exercise they can mark off their “self appraisal” for the end of the season.

[Turkish]

Ran all that way then miskicked it 🤣🤣🤣

[adrian lord]

Kinda bottled it at the end 

[Saint Billy]

Poo!!! 

[Edmonton Saint]

Oh Sully

[obelisk]

Another brain fart in the final third. So Saints.

[DT]

Seriously, what the fuck was that? Appalling touch. Professional footballer.

Got to take those chances when you get them

I finally understand what people mean when they say Walcott helps to develop our younger players.

Walcott couldn't develop a polaroid...

[obelisk]

Still 0-0 at 20 minutes and I can almost feel the hope building.

[Saint Billy]

Christ did I just see a good pass from Ely
