No Tomahawks for Ukraine, in the public domain at least. Entirely predictable. Ukraine could not operate those in any respect, and would potentially drag the US nearer the fight (which is what many want).

They are whacking Afghani's right now.
-
Not sure anyone has been 'fingered' for that? Some online believe it was Still as the picture used to post the article was clearly SMS. Fuck knows, in other words.

😂

Hell Yeah...agree

Exactly, Martin delivered in this league and it was pretty clear he would be an utter failure in the Premier League, which was the fact I wanted him out. Will Still will not even get close to matching that, despite how shite Martin was
-
could not agree more. Very lame from both of the. I kind of expect it from Blackmore, I guess his continued and unrelenting gushing around Ralph and Martin Semens is ingrained. House however - for some reason seems really disappointing. Probably because he can be pretty sarky/rude to fans being reasonable about their uncertainty with Still.

You have to be joking, right? One is a sycophant, who seemingly suckles on the teat of who ever put in front of them. The other can be pretty rude to saints fans online for simply questioning the manager (not actually demanding he does it, mind). When you compare that to the peers around the country, it is pretty lame. Not saying they have to be rude, not at all but represent the fans base frustration at least. A good recent example of this. House stated that another media booking was due to take place during the international break - nothing happened (easy to assume why)....Yet, nothing mentioned again. Im sure people on here will say "what is the point", I guess that is part of the problem/the decline.

Watched the last 15 mins of the Palace v Bournemouth game. What a cracking end, and Palace should have won it in the 100th minute
-
Will Still is a name due to media attention, rather than achievements. He has a similar, if not inferior managerial, record to that of the QPR manager. Not heard of him either
-
As @manji once TOLD us all. Sports Republic will bring the GrEatEsT eRa iN ouR HiStoRy

Game 8 in the Premier League as it stands, Sunderland on 14 points LOLz
-
Was it? Or was it down to Martin Edozie, Downes, Stephens, THB can’t, or barely buy a start, neither can Aribo. manning is in and out Fraser in/out. Remind me where Smallbone is these days...Bree was not wanted, and he barely used / wanted Alcaraz KWP, Adams and Stewart Armstrong (if not injured) would start for sure. Not having Rothwell or Mara
-
Expect 3/5 man defence, possibly Fellows right wing back, possibly Arma up top on his own. Fully expect a 30 mins (or so) purple patch, and fully expect lots of long passes that come to very little. Rinse and repeat.
-
Indefinitely then, as far as this season is concerned at least!
-
Yeah, when they are half decent.
-
I have not thought much of the manager for a while. Today just confirms my belief
-
Nothing really positive about drawing 0-0 at home to a side like that. By virtue of the sheer gulf in class of player we would carve up a few chances.
-
Failed? 100% record of getting a team without parachute payments into the playoffs. Something Will Still would kill for, I am sure
-
Che Adams is not Alan shearer, and was a figure of fun as the season started
-
to wash their hands with it. I could not (and have never) care less about their ridiculous multi-club model
-
What is the point is bringing in another striker?? Will probably be played right wing
-
Why I think Still is the primary problem (without Sports Republic giving the club away). He has seemingly wasted pre-season, in both of preparations with system and patters of play, and use of players. That is clear given the changeover of the starting 11 in that time. Even the new lads are in/out from one game to the next. It was said he needed at least 1 winger and a No.10. He got 2 wingers, one of which is proven top quality for this league, and a No.10 who was one of the best in that position last season. Now, they are either on the pitch in the wrong positions, or on the bench (because of the system) Subs, fuck me. He just seems to throw all/nearly all attackers on, usually to try and win a game (obviously). How often have we been better (Wrexham?)...they just seem so disjointed and at times, more square pegs in round holes. System. I know some of you are adamant the nothing is wrong with the set up, or at least nothing was wrong against Swasean, but I disagree. The 3/5 at the beck thing is crap. Surrenders midfield most of the time, sees our 'extra' man in defence - which is where our overload is, meaning our forwards are either stretched from the team, or at best up against the same number of defenders (if not outnumbered). With the midfield surrendered we are seem to play more 'long passes' (which is evident to anyone, right), or we lob balls into the ball to players not overly suited to that. We rarely make a defence face their own goal, meaning a defensive unit is in place and/or facing up to us. Over and Over and Over again. Of course, he has not been helped by Downs being appalling (fucking joke of a player), but lets not pretend about 20 other clubs in this league would kill for £50m+ to be spent to go alongside Charles, Edwards, Armstrong Fraser, Downes, THB, Aribo, Edozie, et al...ffs, we even loaned out Bree who is barnstorming it at the moment. Even Whacky Russell Martin got loads of goals out of said players who can't hit a barn door...... We will go no where under Will Still. He may become a good manager one day, but not for us and not now.
