Russell Martin snubs Rishi Sunak

All the politicians, millionaire liberal "luvvies", middle class European sheep and most of the rest, were wrong about Trump. I liked him when I first read "Art of the Deal" back in 1987. Anyone that rubs politicians up the wrong way and is well on the way to achieving world peace, fair treatment for American workers and jobs for minorities is OK by me.

It just shows what a successful businessman can do, compared to a career politician.

I look forward to the Nobel Prize presentation...

Spot on. There’s quite a few videos of Sunak making a twat of himself. A great one of him going into a convenience store. He clearly wasn’t used to handling cash and then when he eventually tried to hand the money over doesn’t realise there a plastic security screen in front of him.

His parents are Saints Supporters but he doesn’t even like football he is a cricket fan though.

I loved the one of him using a hammer. 

But genuinely, although the lack of knowledge on how to use a hammer is pretty embarrassing, the lack of intelligence to work out the logical way to use an implement like that (by the PM, no less) is thoroughly worrying.

Funniest thing is, I wouldn't ever question that not being true - that's how little regard I hold him in.

That’s a planishing hammer, the striking face needs to stay flat as it’s used to shape jewellery. He was striking with the side as instructed to avoid damaging the flat surface.

Him or his advisers not realising it was still going to look terrible is still questionable though.

The the papers are just as guilty of the partisan idiocy. I couldn't give a shit about rishi Sunak. If he wants to watch the football as a fan then great for him. He won't be PM in a few months anyway and will be as forgettable as Gordon Brown's spell in charge. 

[Lord Duckhunter]

I bet he’s one of the nods that calls it Footy. 
 

Far better when, apart from a few honourable exceptions, politicians wouldn’t go within 100 miles of a football match. Now you have Call me Dave forgetting whether it’s Villa or West Ham he “supports” and Tony Blair pretending he stood on the Gallowgate. It’s all part of the gentrification of our great game. 
 

As for Lego “how’s that for honesty”, fuck me he loves himself doesn’t he?
 

Now if it was Penny she deserved a tour round the dressing room immediately after the game, Ala Fiona Richmond…

To be fair to him I have heard on good authority that he does actually support Saints. It's not his sporting passion, because that is cricket, but he certainly knows enough and follows results to the extent that you could call him a fan.

Would love it if he had a login on here, ha.

Sunak was a true supporter long before Russell Martin and will be a supporter long after he is long forgotten.

That statement says more about Martin than we need to know but confirms what some of us suspect.

Sport and politics do not mix.

Martin was asked a question about Sunak, a random fan. He is never asked about Joe bloggs.

Who gives a F about Sunak... maybe the interviewer should keep the prime minister out of football. 

This isn't  a political sport, so who cares about Rishi.

The interviewer was probably fully aware of Martin’s political stance and knew what he was doing in posing the question.
Martin took the bait, and could (should depending on your view) have given a more diplomatic answer than his opening comment. 

[sadoldgit]

Odd that the same people who say that they don’t give a monkeys about Sunak still find the time to defend him 🤔

This is a lot of fuss about nothing. Martin has one job and that is to manage SFC. His focus is to win football matches, not to suck up to a PM who is desperately trying to appear to be a man of the people despite all evidence to the contrary.

Well said. As you’re an expert in trying to appear one type of person when all the evidence points to the contrary you can clearly spot them.

This is why Sunak was at St Mary's.

Part of a programme was being filmed about him going back to his roots for ITV.

He didn't take time out of his schedule on a Friday during Xmas to watch his team as some people said. It was firmly in his schedule because of the programme which is obviously being made as an attempt to soften his image amongst voters in an election year.

I knew this because my friend is involved in the programme but I was told not to say anything about the show at the time.

Sunak also had the opportunity to speak to Martin in the tunnel but didn't. There was no snubbing done by anyone. 

It was quite funny watching people discuss this for a few pages while knowing that some of the posts were completely wrong.

What a twat our manager is.  Wouldn't have hurt to keep his wacky Brighton politics to himself and shown some respect to a Southampton fan who happens to hold the office of Prime Minister. 

Didn't mind the club taking sponsorship from a gambling company even after his father lost their family house to betting. No class and typical of a lefty green arse.

Quote

 

On whether he would leave for California, he said: “Of course not, my kids are at school, this is my home and as I said earlier my football team just got promoted to the Premier League so I intend to spend many more happy days watching them at St Mary’s.

“Of course that’s what I’m going to do. I was born and brought up in Southampton, I was raised with a very strong ethic of service to one’s community, that’s what I believe, that’s what I’ve always done.”

 

Ignore the politics for a second, but what a top man.

No he isn't, but like you he does show one slight sign of good sense at leat iin the football team he supports. Not sure however, as with you, how much that counter balances the rest.

Nice wind-up.

Difficult to ignore the politics when he is literally shoehorning election messages about serving the community into the same fucking sentence.

I hope he enjoyed the season like we all did but that doesn't give him a free pass for what he and his wife have done with taxpayers' money over furlough, the money invested in Russia, and those trade deals that suit his family....

I'm with Russell on this one.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. It’s an honour to be associated with a Saint in power.

However, I’m not sure Rishi’s the only world leader who we should consider a Saints legend, Putin was recently heard talking positively about our Red Army. Ignore the politics, what a top man.

[pingpong]

Didn't our rishi boast about how he was siphoning money away from areas like southampton and into Tunbridge Wells? Where was his community spirit then?

[rallyboy]

Sunak and Martin....

Both of them inherited hopeless situations following a few years of mad appointments, ridiculous recruitment and appalling mismanagement, both of their tenures ended in catastrophic failure and public rejection - their replacements will find it difficult to make sense of what went before and to repair the damage.

Only their mother can tell them apart.
