Steady. Serious allegations. I refuse to believe this about any of our squad 🙂

After that performance, I'm a bit torn. Has Russ' hair reached peak floppiness? We had several views of him focused on the game, pausing to push his hair back. Any longer, and I think it becomes a distraction. Shorter and he won't be able to look quite as hipster.

Main Martin objective achieved then. 🙂

Unfortunately, it was a one way transfer.

4 for Spurs. City's slump really taking the shine off Russ' brave, brave, plucky narrow defeat without taking the game to them.

Spurs 3 up, using the odd idea of quick transitions and attacking their opponent. Pep only signed that contract to stop City hiring Martin.

Pep will be on the phone tonight, asking Russ on how to adapt to a more extreme possession based system. When this works out due to the talent at Pep's disposal, Russ comes in as assistant.

Nice to have the inside track on just where our next manager is coming from. Left field enough for Rasmus.

Nearly lost me at the first line. I'd almost forgot those were the metrics everyone else uses to determine success. 🙂

Is a new manager by itself enough? Someone with experience in EFL investments said this week that there was no reason to expect all EFL clubs not to be owned by American investments. With that, and the excitement of @Turkish and @gio1saints soccerball and global superpower posts... Rebrand club as Southampton Saints Change Badge to just football under a halo Play above for all it's worth to US conservative audiences. Shirt becomes variation of '80's Ajax one, linking us with Total Football for hipster value. Get massive injection of funds by US investors Hire Thierry Henry as coach. Arrange US tours along with Rooney's Plymouth, Lampard's Coventry and Reynold's Wrexham. Keep Rasmus as Southampton Saints brand ambassador and send him on tour of US media, with his supply of soundbites. Follow SR model by taking over/ partnering a much smaller US team. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd9n5v3vz42o Here's US based Adrian Forbes. A manager without players. Ex Norwich player for Martin links, Ex Luton coach for Nathan links and left field for Rasmus links. Have Dream Academy Netflix programme building US side from scratch with progression to Southampton Saints squad. Zlatan has arrived! New coach demanding high standards joins Southampton Saints, just in time for Netflix show. Henry and Zlatan with big US soccerball profiles. RussBall theory and it's extreme Pep approach wows audiences. But with the hype, exposure and investment we can hire players to our roster to make it work. Sure, we have the issues facing Forest, Newcastle and Villa. But financial rules are under a lot of pressure and we'll be well placed to take further advantage. Finally with players to make it work, RussBall becomes envy of other clubs. Russ' story, lifestyle and principles inspires nations, as he and Lucy become the new Beckhams. We've a good infrastructure for a soon to be EFL club. Hopefully we can take full advantage of that. We just have to dare to dream. 🙂

An unusual amendment to the bill, to watch out for. 🙂

Pros No plan B Higher risk Stubble Cons No pullover Hairstyle could be better Lack of previous failure At a high profile club, so not left field enough. Not hugging and having a laugh with player in photo

You stay strong Gio. The forum is at it's best with different views. It can take a little while, but inevitably others post supporting every view. #daretodream

Pace Finishing Striker As much use to RussBall as Holgate. 🙂

Stoked to the max! It could only be more awesome if I could then relive the game with a never ending Netflix series.

I was wondering if I had fast forwarded through the Stephens and Martin scene. But then I remembered that they starred in another horror movie: Possession: Unassuming average player taken over by deranged supernatural force bent on world football domination, and the disciples he attracts.

SR make error during split on Chapman or Shankly for boss. Independent consultants appointed. "You can't forge a left field, post mortal, global superpower, without being prepared to have the occasional wasteland of screaming souls," said SR spokesperson R Anderson, wiping marshmallow from his face.

Happy to find out by putting them both in a far away field. 🙂

He's preparing them the same way as for every game. If that doesn't calm any nerves. I don't know what will.

After a few choice tackles, no one is coming within 30 yards of him. Job done. 🙂

Dave's wife and daughter on 5 live in an open discussion on the impact of heading, Dave as dad and husband, and the changes. A really good listen. Oh, and the presenter said Rotherham, Sunderland and City and missed us out. Yeah, he did get more games for them but a cracking player for us.

Well said. The future is Charles Hughes.

Some nice person put up some highlights of us against Liverpool. On one of them Klopp is having a warm chat with Koeman. Clearly Klopp has tons of respect for him and his achievements. Quite a switch to a manager who bursts into tears and his successors. Martin did play for Scotland, but doesn't have that reputational clout.
