Best game he’s played in ages. Not saying much I know but he’s not be rubbish. Think he’s being watched…

And another fuxk around chance.

It was impressive when it worked.✅. But lazio sussed it out - likdd Ed every EPL team will - and the last 15 they looked like they were confident in their press.,just a rehearsal for a whole season of watching us give goals away by fucking around the box. With this keeper. But yeah, ole stuff when it works. But FFS Alex and his giving the ball away a couple times per half is more predictable than death and taxes …🤨

How is that no -1-2. Alex runs out misses the ball and lazio player misses open goal!

Lazio just pressing onto us now like they know what to do.

We invited it though to a degree by our fucking around in the penalty area last five mins.

1-1class goal tbf.

They getting shown up by saints and not liking it.

Another stupid suicide pass by Alex. Nearly a goal.

But redeems himself with excellent saving tackle

Ryan gives away stupid pass in our box after we had best two mins possession.

More fucking around in the box by AM and it’s a corner. So unnecessary.

BBD cuts in from left and scores!!! 1-0

Is that your usual spot?

no AL no TP no RS and no BK or Larios. thats fruatrating. Was hoping ant least Adz would make it. No sam Edozie? Guess my main interest is in watching Sam Amo BBD and Charlie play and a second half Tyler cameo.

I’ve arrived at the Unity tap room. Almost empty. I usually get a bigger crowd than this. 😂

You might have hit the nail on the head. Hypothetically speaking, Being negative might just be he’s not getting with the RM programme and perhaps said so out loud. Bad mistake! RM has shipped out most non believers and we now have a homogenised & great team ethic it seems. Having someone at CB who may think being told to keep playing one twos in the penalty box with his keeper under pressure is nuts may be construed as heresy/ having a bad attitude. The next one with a bad attitude will be Charlie I reckon.

No sir. But then again I do not usually need to be told what my opinion is on someone’s character- I tend to work it out for myself. One man’s meat is another man’s poison as they say. This attitude stinks thing is perplexing seeing as he’s been gone a year. It’s obvious he’s going to go - especially as he plays same position as Club Captain third choice CB and fourth choice RM’s darling that’s he’s wanted for ages plus Ronnie but I dont think this attitude stinks thing is really all that tasteful a reason to publicise given that reality.

Ah. So it’s Adam Blackmore that says BK’s attitude stinks. Any corroboration? In the absence of anything other than Adams opinion I can offer a counter opinion : His attitude did not seem to stink to me when he was staying behind voluntarily to sign countless shirts for kids at the Open training session recently (unlike some other players ). However He has got a naturally surly countenance. Seems hard to get a smile out of him. Perhaps we should not judge people by what they look like but how well they actually play football? And nobody has seen him do that for far too long. Id love to actually see the bloke playing football again - in a Saints shirt. And if he’s not good enough get rid. But until then…

RM certainly highly values players who show they desperately want to be here. Whats your source for saying his attitude stinks? Seems repeated on here a bit but not seen proper explanation that’s not been torn to shreds as simply wrong. He’s not been back long and was a long time injured - and was not in Spain. Whats he done ?

@Give it to Ron I share your regret that we do not have anyone in the box to cross it to. And that the concept of doing so as a key attacking feature has almost been eradicated from Saints game. BUT- it’s obvious from day one of RM football that getting a cross into the box for the CF to put away is not the priority. Saints turn down countless opportunities to “ cross the ball” into the penalty area every match in favour of playing through and hoping to get pull backs to Will and AA. Is it chicken and egg? Would they cross it if they knew we had a conventional CF like your name sake or date I say it Tall Paul? Or do they not cross it because they know there’s usually nobody there or if so they are not brilliant at that kind of opportunity? Or, more likely, they are under strict instructions to NOT play that way. I think it’s the latter so I do not see us signing a “conventional” CF any time soon. Would be just a waste of space - like TP unfortunately - the way we currently play. IF we do sign another attacker I’d expect it to be a mf attacker or a wing based attacker - or both.

Wan Bissaka deal to West Ham, apparently, held up because he wants a payoff from Man Utd. West Ham, apparently, can pay £18M for him - but not that plus £90k pw. So he may have to take a pay cut. BUT, if WB is an £18M £90k pw player whose main claim to fame as a retro styled FB was that he could tackle it shows why we are not entertaining lowball offers for KWP. KWP is now a modern attacking FB and IMO would fit very well in many current mid level EPL teams. Most Especially those that dominate possession. Perhaps even as high as Man Utd. If he’s available for c £15M -£20m then I think he will go by end of window.

Def red carded.

Charlie is the most obvious player to replace O’Riley's role at Celtic. Not Shea. They play completely different positions ( though I believe Shea can play further upfield whereas Charlie would not work as a #6 imo. ) Ive posted this before but I think loan Charlie ➡️Celtic would tick a lot of boxes for him, for Brendan - and for Saints - as well as sweeten the medicine of selling O’Riley to us.

Quite right it’s been obvious a while. Just would like to point out that sometimes , in fact quite often, the body of a football manager can contradict what his mouth is saying - if you know where and how and what to look for. And it’s not just scratching his nose! In this instance it did not. It’s why police often put parental suspects up for public appeals for missing kids. They film and study the body language afterwards to see if somethings not right. Many lying bad people been caught that way. Not putting RM in that category- though I’ve not seen him answering a RS injury question satisfactorily yet…
