All this guff about managers like Kompany not changing their style, making them desirable, blah blah blah. It's just that, hot air. If you don't adapt in your job and modernise constantly, or react to events and make changes, you deserve to get the boot. The fact that Martin and team over the last month have shown a tactical variation or two gives me hope. Some might be to do with McCarthy in goal, but he's a considerably, better, calmer goalie and a better shot stopper.

I fked up I think. I added 3 tickets, realised I'd added 3x adults, went to change 1 to a child and the tickets went. Managed to get a view of tickets again only to be told "no price" ... FFS. One extremely disappointed son after school.

I just used Justpark to book a space 15 mins walk - easy, job done.

State of it. Flat caps ... sigh ... anyway, awesome match, very very very managed and controlled, we've seen a very different Russel and Saints the last 3 matches. Now let's finish the job!

That is shit behaviour.

How? First penalty was a penalty, not given. Second penalty was not a penalty, given. You could argue the ref evened up his mistake, but that's football. VAR is slow, boring, clunky and just ruins the flow of a match. Fuck it.

VAR is crap. I have far preferred this season without it. I far prefer the system before where sometimes the ref was right, sometimes wrong, that's football and it creates that post match discussion / laugh / annoyance. VAR just ruins the flow of a match, ruins a celebration and is STILL prone to the same crap errors. Get rid, bye.

Does anyone actually watch them or care what's said anyway?? It's a bit weird. I'll find out the team 50 mins before kick off, even then, I often just wait until it's starting ... Makes me remember Strachan and his "the date of my yoghurt is more important" answer.

Things that make you smile and happy with life, lovely!

Absolutely, enjoyed that.

Could be a big manager turnover this summer anyway, especially in the Premier League, it's become even more of a circus. Liverpool, Man Utd, Newcastle, Brighton for sure. You could probably add Chelsea and West Ham to that list and many others lower down. So prepare for David Moyes or Eddie Howe being linked to Saints when Martin goes to Brighton 😂

You know he'll be right back ... or centre midfield ... 🤨

This. I turned it off at 5-0, thought I'd come and be pissed off on here instead. Fucking shit. Saturday will be a crap atmosphere with nothing to play for, great, can't wait for that experience.

This.

Martin said in the post match interview something along the lines of "I wanted to get a look at him and see what he was capable of" - obviously well aware that Preston were going to be demolished in the first half Risky! I think we'll see Lumley in personally.

Agree with this. We walked away from the ground smug as fk, but it should never have been like that, should've been a 4-0 match, defensive shambles.

It's shit.

I voted yes. I've enjoyed a lot of the football I've watched, the team seems more of a "team" who play for each other and communicate. Yes some of the backwards play can be tiresome and yes it would be lovely to see more counter attacking, but we can't have it all. I don't actually think he's a bad bloke either, he comes over very well and isn't a complete stuck up penis. I don't know who could've done a better job tbh and if the club (can I blame Wilcox?? 🤣) had bought a decent striker who was FIT from the start of the season, many more of the chances the team create would've been goals. Yes those 4 matches in September were horrific and he looked way out of his depth then, but what I've seen since has mostly been decent. Just get a bloody fit goal scorer in ...

Can you?? Oh nice, I didn't know that, thank you ... shows how little attention I pay to their marketing, oops!

Thanks that's what I thought. When I started doing the Now TV day pass it was £6.99, which was decent value, I never normally bother now at £11.99, way too steep but wanted to see tonights. I'll find a stream 🤣

I can't go tonight, but noticed it's on 'Sky Football', is that one of those channels that isn't covered on the Now TV day sports pass? I seem to remember falling for that scam before, anyone know?

FFS!! 🤣

Where is the news that he's on his way?

Agree. Sat on the halfway line against 'boro, and decided to watch Bree (of all players) and KWP as the positioning fascinated me. KWP was smashing forwards in a proper right winger position, but Bree seemed to be doing the inverted full back thing, but he did it well, better than Manning did. Manning was good when not asked to do that and just defend as a left back, but Bree seems to have the skills to do that role better. N.B. I'm not saying "well", but "better", I still hate it.

Never heard of it, what is it? Is it the pub thing on the kingsland stand?
