Outtara, Kluivert, Tavernier, Brooks, Evanilson, Semenyo and Unal are all better than anyone else we have bar Dibling. How depressing. Expand I think that's true apart from Unal , who is a slightly upmarket Kieffer Moore
Sheaf Saint Posted January 19 Posted January 19 If anyone's interested, Shea Charles is playing for Wednesday right now against Leeds on ITV (as is Yan Valery). Weds currently 1-0 down but they're looking quite decent overall. Can see how Shea has become an important cog in their machine. 1

Southner Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Another cock-grabbing performance from Zirkzee and the lads.
Lighthouse Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 We might be losing an unwanted record at Portman Road. The biggest away win of the season is currently a three way tie of 0-5s, two of which are against Saints. City currently 0-5 up.

Gloucester Saint Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) Hilarious that they have trouble with it now after their plastics infiltrated away ground home areas for years when they were winning things. I still remember one of them popping up at the back of the West Stand when they won the league in 2000 IIRC and an old Saints fan whacked him with an umbrella full pelt. Made quite a sound.

Dusic Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Anonymous so far. Sheff Utd look poor overall - they will be straight back down if they do go up. Championship was definitely much stronger last season, and will be again next year too.

Expand One of my favourite post-Ralph away days was at Chelsea when we had that Ruben song. Since leaving us, he had a load of kids at Reading doing the high press and he's doing the same at Hull. But think he's more of a tactician than that. I like him. He's unassuming and hope he does well but there was no way he was going to stay with us after seeing out those last games two years ago. 1
sandwichsaint Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Wasn’t a serious suggestion, personally couldn’t stand the bloke. Surprised that he got that Hull job but he seems to be making a go of it so good luck to him. No sightings of RM resurfacing anywhere yet?

Midfield_General Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Moyes predictably steering Everton to safety, so who's coming down with us? Looks like 2 from 3 now - Leicester, Ipswich and Wolves.

Midfield_General Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) Leicester I think will go, as they don't have a lot of quality and made a poor appointment in Van Nistelrooy. Then I think it might depend how stable Wolves are. Given the manager's public criticism of Cunha, the player obviously wants out so they'll either have to let him go, or they'll have to block it and keep an unhappy player which would be likely to create other issues. Plus of course there's the wonderful influence, reliability and commitment of club captain Mario 'Roll Your Sleeves Up' Lemina, who's already been dropped because once again he hasn't got the bollocks for a fight and wants to run away. Overall it doesn't sound like a very happy ship. Ipswich are limited, but at least seem to be in the fight together and have strong team spirit under a good manager. I think a unified Ipswich fighting it out against a Wolves either without Cunha or with him and Lemina sulking and disuniting them in the background could be a close-run thing.

Midfield_General Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I look at that Leicester side and think are we really that much worse than them that they can go and give a very average Spurs side a game, and at least have a go at staying up, whereas we're just a hopeless laughing stock who expect to lose every single game? Our squad is crap but is it that much worse?
