That run of games is a great argument for getting rid of Ralph a month ago.
-
Hopefully the Liverpool game has given Jones plenty to think about. I am sure Jones will treat this as an opportunity to get a decent strength team out and try some things.

Winning team.

I also don't get why we have "more of an opportunity to improve" than Leicester or Everton or Villa or whoever. This is not looking at the context or the bigger picture it's just you being an optimist. Those clubs don't even need to improve that much to finish safe of relegation anyway. We need to win maybe 6 more games to stay up, most teams that get to 9 wins these days stay up. It's not impossible but its difficult to really see 3 clubs significantly worse than us. We could do with Brentford and Fulham having particularly bad second halves of the season. The gamble is that our new rookie manager is perfect for our rookie squad and it's a perfect plan by SR. An upset today would help, for sure.

28 points total or 28 more points? I mean, you're wrong either way but good to know what I'm aiming at.

Not sure anyone has already uploaded this but he's a right trickster here. Plus Cohen as well who I assume is the same guy in our staff now. I was actually trying find if the Luton fans sing a variation of the Bananarama song to him, they should have, its very chant-able. But I can't find it.

Bournemouth are going down Bielsa or no Bielsa. They haven't got the players. A bit like us.

Quite. And every Premier League club is run by rich people who don't want to "jeopardise their investment". No one wants to make bad decisions on purpose.
-
Who's moaning? I am pleased your daughter is incredibly lucky by birth and circumstance. Having £10k puts you in a different position to make "decisions" than not having £10k. Any 18 year old growing up in the current climate knows they probably can't just blow it all on useless junk. Unless they are a child of the landed gentry which clearly she isn't.
-
The point people don't want to acknowledge the role luck plays. Pretty sure it wasn't you that introduced the child trust fund legislation 20 odd years ago. Lucky you, lucky her.
-
Yes resentment doesn't help.... ....except for the people you want to resent. Crystal clear 👍
-
They are making choices, they've got no fucking choice but to. That generation growing up post 2008 crash have it far tougher than previous generations like you and me who had things easier and were incredibly lucky generation. The main issue is the lucky generations don't consider themselves lucky and congratulate themselves for their smart choices they made when the wind was in their favour for them during the most critical times.
-
I'm not sure your daughter made a choice just after birth to have a child trust fund so she had £10k at 18. Nor did she make a choice to be be born during the New Labour administration the introduced and popularised the trust fund scheme, subsequently wound up by the 2010 coalition. And you're going to continue to pay in on top anyway. Because she chose to be born to you. Yes I agree your daughter has made some absolutely impeccable choices there 👌
-
Bullshit. Life in many ways is about happy accidents and luck. Born in the right era you get a lot of luck and you can pretend your good fortune is down to "choices" rather than serendipity, the accident of your birth or the economic circumstances when you were 25. 25 year olds these days didn't chose any of the macro factors impacting their life.

Don't go to expensive Spain you wasters. Have one of them really cheap holidays in, er, Cornwall.
-
We get it. You don't have the faintest idea about the realities of life for the generation aged 20-40. You had it easy because you were one of the lucky generation and, as usual, believe that it was all down to your own hard work and saving. It was luck. You were lucky.

As I said right from the off, this is fantastic appointment and Nathan is going to do brilliantly at Saints.

Do you want Nathan Jones to Manage Southampton Football Club?

How's your first month of following football going? -

The "best attacking team" stuff: give over. Youre still talking about a good performance in League One. Yes, recently a decent performance to get to the Championship play offs. But they're not that unique - the year before it was all about Barnsley as the plucky underdog. Val Ismael was the flavour of the month hot manager then. Poached to WBA and flopped. Before that Huddersfield and so on. So it might be much more than "OK" if you are a Luton fan, good for them. But in context of walking into a Premier League club it is only OK and nothing more. Look, he's here now so we all have get on with it. The most likely scenario is relegation but that won't all be his fault because our squad is bottom 3 standard anyway. -
I think his back up coaches have to take the credit for that particular performance.
-
Nathan Jones needs to remember that if you do well in the League Cup at this club then you will have a special place in the fans hearts forever.
-
Forest away thank you please.
-
I'll just wait to read about it in the paper tomorrow.

I've got no way of following this except, like, here. We could be out by the time I have finished typing this.
