I don’t see what is wrong with a gesture. I don't know why the benchmark has to be pull out of the competition or shut the fuck up with nothing in between. At the end if the day it is the world cup, which is the pinnacle of competition. Denmark as a nation and the players have earned the right to be there. FIFA has put all the nations in this position. Denmark's gesture is a reasonable response, and worth doing.

This is magnificent

The only thing that is worse than selling our best players is, er, our best players staying. Fucking unambitious, layabout wasters.

It takes a rare, insightful and incredibly knowledgeable football mind to identify that Pope made an error last night. Most casual fans wouldn't have seen it but you really know what you're talking about. You're a professional coach or something right, you must be.

WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE WORLD CUP

Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwateng absolutely begging for Gareth to quit tonight.

Southgate should have taken the opportunity to quit at the top - let's face it he was never going to do better than a final. If he'd have walked his reputation would have been set, all 1996 penalty demons gone. A semi and a final really is unlikely to be beaten by any England manager for a long time. But he has stayed and he's shat the bed. I said it before but England will be home on the plane before the first doors are opened on the advent calendar.

Make room under your mattress and get yourself down your Building Society ASAP. And don't forget a carrier bag.

What a load of shit. We got to a semi in 18 and a final in 21 and the pubs were packed. Plus the pubs were packed for the three QFs under Sven. Plus an exponential explosion of car flags house flags etc etc. Where there was none in 1990.

Clubs should only appoint creative, progressive players as managers, like George Graham.

Apart from that semi we were generally terrible in that tournament. Absolutely no better than what Southgate delivered in a semi and a final. You’ve just got older.

Not sure you quite understand what Group B actually is. You've heard of Sweden, right?

Nice to see the old Hasenhuttl Irreplaceabilty Clause being activated for Southgate as well. Bravo SaintsWeb 👏

Absolutely buzzing for the world cup 🥳

Exclusive insight like that is the reason I am on this forum.

"Operation Itchen Bridge" as it is known in media circles.

People will need to remind of the groundswell of forum opinion all agreeing in 2018 that Mark Hughes must be replaced by Ralph Hasenhuttl immediately. Most people had barely heard of him or didn't think it was a possibility. It came out of nowhere. As did Koeman. As did Poch. As did Adkins. As did Puel, Sturrock, Strachan, Dave Jones, Hoddle, Pardew. This forum/fanbase has never predicted a manager successfully since maybe Alan Ball. And on this forum people stop need to stop just hovering around the handful of managers that they have actually heard of and then pretending after that there is "nobody". It's not going to be bloody Thomas Frank. It's not going to be Pochettino. That doesn't mean there is "nobody".

I don't think those sentiments are mutually exclusive. I agree with that analysis and agree with the thought that it probably was the right decision to sack him.

Just put "Hasenhuttl" in Twitter and nothing. Except for the stuff about betting markets.

Still up there hours later 😂 Hasenhuttl was sacked by the Saints on Monday 19th September 2022, due to fan pressure, poor performances & poor results.

I was hoping that was going to be the follow up question in the interview. It's not a "difficult" decision for her because she wants to do it. Really wants to do it. One of the very first announcements leaked out, literally top of the fucking list on becoming prime minister. If the Queen hadn't died it would have already been announced.

I think I got around 400 for calling someone a fucking lying prick.

Fucking lying prick.

He was sacked in July, so not even three months ago. He'll be on a sizeable compensation package, and it's pretty common for managers to have a bit of time between roles. His level has not gone back down to the level of Espanyol or us. Honestly this is just bizarre.
