It does indeed Whitey, hence the reverential and highly spiritual phrase from folklore: ‘Tonka, Tonka, stick it up your Honka!’

Christ, it’s just like having a youth team coach with no game / man management experience, nous, gravitas or charisma in charge of a group of pampered self-absorbed individuals. Isn’t it?

Rasmus and Johannes loving it today:

Sure Brownmore can step up.

I think for Rasmus this may be the first perfect Tonda performance. We fucked up first half, it didn’t need breaking, we broke it, then kept working hard to capitulate to shite opposition, then seizing unworthy victory from the jaws of victory. Reckon Rasmus and Johannes might be waiting for Tonda at his studio flat tonight, with some flowers and optrex.

Tonda clearly feels it when his SR work experience masters get grief from the Saints crowd. So more of that please lads x

Looking forward to the FA Cup shirts being reduced to £60 on Monday. Silver linings and all that…

Sad news but lovely father and son memories. So sorry for your loss and hope we win for him today.

He did, the duplicitous googly eyed little bastard!!!

Great call. Imagine Spors will be all over this with his German connections.

I’d have him back in a flash for hold up play alone, but still an important player for Torino this season, 14 starts and 3 goals. Not sure why he’d swap Turin for Soton.

Tonda wouldnt even be allowed to hold an opinion on the biscuits for the FA Cup Dentyne bus photo shoot.

This one is 100% Spors I think. A godsend.

Yeah, raw version. I’ll take that.

Club been tracking Peretz since November (I mentioned it on the transfer thread at the time, same source as Romeu tip in the summer). He was MTA first team keeper at 20 and the big transfer to Bayern came after he had starred in two championship / European campaigns for them. He is a big unit and a traditional ‘all round’ goalkeeper, who commands his area. Fans will notice this difference immediately. Clips I’ve seen he looks rather like a less erratic / mental Boruc. There will be ring rust but he is easily considerably better than Quavers wrists or Methuselah. Pray he hits the ground running and stays fit.

Yep, a right fucking bloater!

As good as Dave Beasant or Paul Jones? Don’t be daft!

This bloke must be Ankerson’s wet dream! Imagine the kudos when he wins the treble with Saints. At least he’s used to dealing with overpriced vegetables and manure.

My old man really rated Chivers and saw him as a modern ‘number 9’ - something like 100 goals in 180 games for Saints and then close to that remarkable reliable ratio for both Spurs and England. What a player he must have been. RIP big man, one of the city’s finest.

Beginning to wonder if our idiotic staff might fuck this deal up, despite Downs joining Hamburgler FC.

Thing is, Sport Republic were complete novices when they bought SFC, so they sensible thing would have been to take some time to stabilise and learn the ropes. Instead they’ve tried to impose their ‘philosophy’ (Ankerson’s philosophy) on a club in a downward spiral from their first full season. Over their time the philosophy clearly loved by Ankerson now looks outdated and flat, and would probably never have worked at a provincial club with limited players like Saints anyway, certainly not in a condensed timescale whilst selling any talent to balance the annual books. Wilcox likely knew this when he briefly came on board, so SFC merely a shop window. Only question left is whether Solak will finally wake up to what has been an avoidable disaster (better late than never) and cut out the disease, or be forever remembered in the industry as a negligent and careless idiot.

Lose to the filth down the road and Tonda & Co. are toast regardless. No coming back from that.

My old man said he liked Ankerson, So I said fuck off, bollocks you're a cunt! I'd rather shag a bucket with a big hole in it, than be a Rasmus fanboy for just one minute! With hammers and hatchets, stanley knives and spanners, We'll show Sport Republic how to fight (How to fight), I'd rather shag a bucket with a big hole in it, than put up with Ankerson’s bullshite. Altogether now... (repeated)

And a pie. Wrapped up in the programme.

He’s clearly missed the regular weiner schneitzel, which has put him off his stroke!
