Spors went out and spent seven million on Damion Downs. (Hull City in total spent 700k this summer) Whatever is happening is on Spors 100%.

If you look at the top 6, half of them have managers who are on the same number of games as Still. So you can't really use the "Rome wasn't built in a day" stuff when the likes of Bristol City and Middlesbrough are doing OK in the same time frame.

Fair to say i would not have been dancing in the streets if we had announced Rob Edwards but here we are. His 6 games are a hell of a lot better than ours.

The club were. However "utterly shit" we were last season, we finished eleven places higher in the league than Middlesbrough, we bought one of their best players and spent lots of money on others. I don't get why they get to be considered for promotion and we don't.

I'm not sure there's even one player that is obviously a Will Still picked player. Nathan Jones was there only for a few weeks but even he still managed to buy James Bree. I am not sure who Still's picks are, his Telfer/Williams, his Downes/Manning etc etc etc.

He's not up to it. Maybe its because his brothers aren't here but either way the job is too big for him. The club will not be brave enough to get rid now, and either way the play offs are still viable in January whatever happens so they will wait. But, we've fucked it on recruitment, again. .

Russell Martin has a lot to answer for

Can he play up front?

Tell you what, those Super Mario videos announcing the signings were good, though.

They called him Caspar "Beißt dir in die Beine" Jander in the Nuremburg dressing room.

Start the game on the front foot, lobbing long balls in the box for the big man to hold up and cause chaos. Then when we've settled after 15 mins of that switch to a more direct style of high long passes into the focal point front man. Then close the game out by going long and high with balls in the box to the target man. We need to be flexible.

You would think Aribo has got something to offer in what might be quite a slogfest today. Unless he is on a plane to Suadi or something

Hat trick for Downs. Hahahahha just kidding lads he's fucking shit.

100% he would get another Championship job easily. He's won promotion so that's good on a CV. Easily he'd be a contender for Norwich/WBA/QPR/Blackburn/Hull/Derby/etc but probably not until next summer when a club like that decides to make a change. One of those clubs will generate the requisite level of scar tissue this season. He's quite photogenic and media savvy so depending on which way they go he could get Wrexham even. I think he might go abroad but that didn't work out great for Moyes/Pardew/Scott Parker, but maybe he thinks he could do a Schteeve McClaren and win the Eredivisie....

Win today and he's into the Semi Finals of a major cup competition which will be a phenomenal achievement and a huge response to everyone that has written him off. Fingers crossed lads, you'll get your moment 🤞

At 0815 this morning, the Stoat has left the Den.

You all know he's talking about Trump himself (after the riot/insurrection he started) Alex Jones for lying about Sandy Hook or whatever bollocks he says and all the fruitloops parroting anti Vaccine horseshit, that your "free thinkers" like Nic are going to lap up. Nothing like the administration shutting down a talk show host of course. But whatabouters and going to whatabout.

I wish we were Barcelona.

I was born in April 1872.

I remember when Boris was going to be Prime Minister for a decade.

Even if that were true, the stats at the end of the first half were 49/51 so that neans for a period in that first half Saints would have had 70% too to even it up. In the second it was 70/30 Saints and the whole game was 60/40 Saints. True story

Pompey was the easiest game because the games after are difficult because they are above us in the table or difficult because they are below us in the table. Clear

I think the other half a million were on the Tommy Robinson march

Pardew took a long time to get going and then finished his season on promotion form. My worry is that, like Ralph in his last year, Still could fail in his first year because no one is scoring the goals.
