It would be unusual for a badge just to have a face in it. But Rasmus is Mr Football, so I don't think there would be many complaints. We could have "If it's not broken, break it" in Latin going round the outside of it. 🙂

I guess if we're not going to be Wayne Rooney's Southampton, to maximise our Wrexham playing soccerball profile, it's the next best thing. 🙂

Nothing is too simple for MLG to grasp. Nothing is too inaccurate for MLG to defend. For those who'd like to see The Mayflower on a club badge, there's Plymouth and Boston, who have somehow usurped Saints rightful use of it. 🙂 Is that 4 or 5 complete humour failures from MLG just this week?

I did read your first post in the OTT/exaggerated tone I think you were going for, Gio. My response was going to be "you forgot stubble, pullovers and a "philosophy". And I only added the last one to explain Nathan. But then I saw the responses, and instead reached for my trusty pitchfork. 🙂

Auguste Dupin in spirit, Clouseau in action. 🙂

Came on with 8 mins to go. So not much chance to see much. As a team VA didn't do much in that period, so nothing that stood out for him.

Ooh. I didn't know you worked in design. Classy. 🙂

A slow start to the second half. Those gaps at full back came into it again. A nice cut in and shot at an angle lobbed over the VA keeper for Nancy's third. VA offered nothing in response. On around 62, a better chip into the middle would have had 2 Nancy players lined up to make it 4. 10 mins later, it was 4. VA's defence slow in tracking back, slow to close down and slow to put in any block. VA keeper once again a frustrated figure. VA got a third around 80, with a nice turn and shot in the middle. Other than a shot across the face of goal towards a well marked player at the back post,that was it. VA didn't create enough to get close to compensating for conceding so many. It did look as though there were some fringe players coming on, without names on their shirts. Far from a classic game. Not too many good moves or passages of players. Yet 7 goals and more VAcdisapointment.

The last time, I gave a grumpy "no!" only for someone to put up a nicer one right afterwards. I'd be confident neither the club nor their design agencies could come up with a thing as nice as what we have though. Newcastle say it doesn't translate to a digital world. I quickly checked, a d the internet turns out to be capable of supporting pictures in lots of sizes and resolutions. So, I take it they mean that it's awkward to get sweat shop labour to create and put it onto shirts as cheaply. They also said that although they love the crest (not enough to keep it, mind) "the symbol that represents us needs to be able to keep pace." So, black and white stripes turning to red and dripping blood at the edge?

All square at half time. VA just about the better side. Didn't get a good view of the pen, but the player had to go out of his way to concede it. Both sides leaving some space on the flanks to get behind. VA were caught a little forward when they conceded from this. There was a second not long before the break, Nancy did nothing with. VA had a nice cut back before the break, but sadly no AA to put it in. A second chance near their keeper towards the interval could have gone better too. Both sides will be thinking they can win this.

Nice finish for VA equaliser. Nancy expecting it to come in, as VA had looked decent in previous ones. Instead it comes out, a nice cut in to get the angle and a shot from range. All square.

Occasions on each flank, where there's space to cross, and bodies in good positions in the middle. Instead, the ball is stopped, and the player waits to try an intricate pass that gets promptly intercepted. Very frustrating. VA get one back from a free kick, that their keeper looks to have been able to do a lot better with.

A couple of mins later, it's an unpressured cross to a very unpressured header and VA are 2 down. There wasn't much quality in the opening 15. But VA tried to get forward and had a couple of decent opportunities from corners. Let's see how much fight is left.

VA keeper makes an excellent double save from a penalty. Nancy's third effort goes in. 'keeper high kicks post in sheer frustration, possibly wondering why none of his team mates could get it clear. 0-1

Don't forget, The Hunt leaves our gated enclosure at 9am on Sunday. Got to get out there sharpish before the organs of our prey fail or burst.

For a small weekly contribution you can enter the Valhalla of SaintsWeb legends. If you're not falling for that, then it's the satisfaction of a post well done (I mean, you did it well, not because the flames cooked it). 🙂

Has that coin throwing ban been lifted? 🙂

There you go. No way SR would pick him, when they could reassign Ben Chorley and take him through any coaching badges he'd need to be a manager.

Has he grown a beard and bought pullovers? Standard SR pre interview requirements. 🙂

Funereal black would have suited this season. 🙂 It does look nice.

Our Turkish colleagues have done well, and he's apparently more involved there now (last refuge) He has money in it, so his involvement may be linked with that. SR considered him to be "Mr Football" which says a lot about their grasp of things. Despite the local focus, I'd imagine there would still be shared data services and links. SR just have to find some best practice in anything, before sharing it. 🙂

It does. But we'd just need to set up a temporary monkey chicken petting zoo, and let the light show and music blasting through an award winning radio station beat it any time we liked. 🙂

Sorry your keyboard isn't working and is typing randomly. When it's working let us know if you remember the name of that 'keeper. 🙂

Just wanted to point out that this is now over the fabled 30 laughing emoji mark. 🙂

I know MLG has a lot of previous form for amending his posts, after responses and reaction have already been given. But disappointing that this is only a couple of weeks after the last time. This, and the pretence that he hadn't, shows that he's clearly incapable of learning anything. It's one thing to disagree with someone on a forum. But something else, if they are just dishonest.
