As most of us have known. "Oh but he's been sent off to Goztepe, so has no involvement in Saints" was bollocks as we all suspected, then.

That weird standing ovation he got last season after coming on will live long in the memory.

Must be one of the famous multi-club benefits that we see no part of.

Another amazing find by our illustrious owners.

It's not a credible rumour: the inbreds on the twitter timeline just making shit up. The same guys who pretend to be hard as part of a so-called "Hierarchy" who act all hard, when in reality, they're probably teenage virgins.

Armstrong has a knock. Yeah, right.

Anyone still defending these clowns? Anyone still happy clapping about their ownership? If you are, you're a fucking moron. They're clueless, and they're bad news.

On that I agree, but unfortunately, they are obliged to do these media soundbites.

I mean, in fairness to Stephens; he can't win here. He says we're still targeting the play-offs, and he gets criticized for being unrealistic. If he come out and said they're no longer targeting the play-offs, he'd get criticized for giving up and having no ambition.

That's bullshit. He hasn't suffered an ACL injury at all. It's a thigh injury, out for 6 weeks.

Because we are now in a situation where we've not won in 6. Yet we're still persisting with a formation and way of playing thay clearly isn't working. It's irrelevant what we did 3 months ago. The current run is terrible, and he's just sticking to the same old same old. Change it up, try something new.

Tonda in his press conference "it's not my choice to play 5 at the back" All eyes on Sport Republic dictating it then. As many of us suspected.

Digital tickets truly are one of the worst things in modern football. And that's truly tough competition.

That's allon page 2; Rasmus hasn't got to that point in his spreadsheet yet.

Christ, all this hipster business corporate bullshit is doing my head in. Technical directors dictating styles of play with no accountability as well. Managers nothing more than a glorified cone and bib man. Chelsea and Man Utd (and us!) are everything wrong with modern football.

We've accepted a permanent bid for him from an unknown European club, apparently

Sounds like you have faith in SR to go ahead and sign the correct type of goalkeeper? 🤣

No. We switched to a back 5 at 3-2.

Another failed SR transfer, clearly.

Dreadful 2nd half. Again.

Not saying Stephens is perfect, nor is he absolutely quality and a top defender, but there is a narrative here (and amongst saints fans in general) that he is the root cause of everything. See also; the people who think our unbeaten run started and ended with his injury a couple of seasons back.

The grief about Long was simply about the fact rhat we loaned in a 3rd choice keeper, rather than signing a new number 1 at thw time when we all knew we needed one. What should've happened, is we sign a new number 1 last summer, and then Baz and McCarthy got bumped down the pecking order. Instead, we signed aomeone on the cheap who provides no competition.

His Mrs has posted pics of them in Dubai with their child. Stephens is in Cornwall with his partner and kids. Imagine being given a holiday after being trounced 4-0 away from home. Everything wrong with the club right there.

Manning is out in fucking Dubai. Tonda is taking an u21 squad up for this, isn't he?

Sounds like our utter cunt of a DOF as well; he only raised his head above the parapet once we went on a good run of form.
