Make some subs Rusk FFS

We can all see it coming. But honestly I'd rather have no substitutes and risk professional footballers being "too tired" than make a load of subs (Smallbone, Bree, Wellington, Archer) who are so fucking shit we are guaranteed to lose anyway. Just leave this team on FFS.

Probably our best 11. We will still lose.

Middlemiss and Whiley double bill tonight. Exceptional.

Nathan Jones Charlton are guaranteed Play Offs at least. He's done a decent job there.

Yeah, you're right. The guy who has been in charge for 12 league matches is definitely at fault for everything. Not sure why it bothers you how West Ham and/or Graham Potter are doing anyway. Why do you give a fuck?

35 points with 6 games to go is safe safe safe safe and there isn't a season in recent memory where they'd be anywhere near troubling relegation. It's not about how bad the bottom 3 are this year. Potter has been there less than half a season so a bit stupid to pin all their issues on him.

The forum hero worship of this Spors guy will disappear pretty rapidly if we end up appointing Steven Gerrard.

I think the point is if you spend £100m on the manager you can't then say "sorry it's frees and loans for the players because we spent the budget on you".

It's not a strawman to say you are a monumental bellend.

Sport Republic is Sport Republic is Sport Republic. From bean to cup, they fuck up. Next season, new league, new manager we start again. But drooling over this Spors guy makes no sense at this point. Just some other guy. Promotion is a basic requirement so it is at least 18 months from now (say we are a in with a shout of staying in the Prem come December '26) before we can say they have made any progress at all. So let's dial down the hero worship of some guy who none of us have heard of and who hasn't done anything yet

I think you might need to stop treating this Spors guy as a bloody messiah when he's done nothing for us yet. This is the Sport Republic era, who have fucked up twice already so it is reasonable to assume they can do so again.

You know they fucked up in 22/23 as well right? We can't just go "yeah we know we fucked up" over and over again. We have some decent fees and a decent financial position going into next season (definitely better than Leicester) but nothing taken for granted in what will be a tough Championship season.

I think you might want to stop trying to play down the absolute clusterfuck that the SR regime have been. It's not going to work you trying to position this season as just "a crappy season" like lots of Premier League teams have. Trust us, we've had crappy seasons. This is different- we are heading to the end of April on 10 points. 10. Before SR turned up we'd had an unbroken decade in the top flight. They've turned us now, basically, into Norwich City. This was supposed to be "the greatest era in our history" according to some (you). Funny you have now altered your position to "well, it's been worse". Inspirational stuff. Let's hope we can scramble up again but right now it feels more likely we will be a future WBA/Stoke/Swansea than a Brentford or Forest.

Pretty happy with that solid gold analysis 👌 Although it wasn't a seven window, but in the context of the final poll result mine was a low score, in the bottom 30% of responses.

It's not me crying about the governing party not putting up posts about Palm Sunday, so you tell me, your Holiness.

Labour party have already done the passover social media post, not that you actually give a fuck. Let's see if he does Easter for the white people next week. Let's see if he does. I wonder if they will. Hmm. I wonder. (Clue: of course they will)

We're pretending we all celebrate Palm Sunday now, are we. Do tell us what you did today.

Especially for away games this is exactly it. If you can keep it to nil for 75 mins then at least you're in with a shout of a point or a smash-and-grab.

What a load of bollocks. Because he was an ex-Forest manager. Did a shit ton better than any manager we've had this season and compared to who Leicester subsequently employed.

Jesus wept.

Well, it will make a difference. A bunch of kids getting annihilated by Arsenal and Man City isn't any use to anyone, especially to those young players.

Aaaaaand he's bottled it on smartphones as well https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/12/trump-administration-smartphones-computers-china-tariffs?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other The art of the deal.

I've never really been bothered with it before but for Christmas i think I will buy this years Official Saints Recruitment Team Calendar.

He was going to be sent out on loan to a Championship team on the day we signed him last August, pretty obvious that would happen. He wasn’t signed to be first choice Premier League centre back. Very sensible decision and the club proven to be spot on.
