"They mentioned there might be an opportunity and I jumped at it with both hands," said Gape. Just think how much better he's going to be when he uses his feet to jump. 🙂

It's not great when the most worrying curse in the family isn't the djinn from the artefact stolen in colonial days, building our estate over an ancient burial ground or that there's a 50% chance of spontaneously combusting on our 60th birthday. It's the dread of passing along the curse of supporting Saints to the next generation. 🙂 I do find I can put up with a lot more since SaintsWeb opened the S&M subforum. Basically watching this season's highlights while wearing leather replica kits. I met a Leicester fan today. I mentioned it wasn't going well for their new manager. They were half way starting to complain, when I said I supported us. Just silence, then a "oh". No mockery, no sympathy. Just a mental shuffling away from our car crash of a season. Work comments have generally vanished. No one's quite that heartless 🙂 I'd really like to get past Derby's record. They were abject. I'm reminded of them every time I'm turning over from the start of Robbie Savage on 606. I don't want that thought to become "and their team did better than ours" every week.

Pointless

It will all be worth it at the end of the 10 year plan. #trusttheprocess #nohumiliationnogain

Be sure to be completely clear on the name of the game. The 1964 game of Dome of the rock, paper, scissors nearly resulted in war across the middle east.

Rumour has it that uncertain markets will result in them having to sell off the first letter of their name. 🙂

I guess the revenue is coming from Panama, Greenland and Mars?

What's the point of raising a generation of remote controlled assassins, when their trigger words could be read out by any class reading of Catcher in the Rye? Of Mice and Men was also on the list. Now Richard Gere might disagree, but I have reservations about such relationships.

Perhaps Musk got to invite all the other third rate Bond villains?

Thanks for confirming. The penny should now have dropped for even the most bloody minded of humanity. 🙂 With the change of manager, and the players adusting to his tactics, it's a little more undecided again how well the unit would cope. For example, Will was an excellent fit for a lot of RM's tactics at that level. But as he's not a full DM or AM, may not fit with the new boss' requirements. Under RM we desperately needed an Adams replacement, and someone with the all round game of Romeu. Juric may get a lot more out of TP and Sule (if they are in the Championship) and need a diffetent sort of player. AA got lots of goals,but without a capable attacking plan, may not replicate that again. Not to mention the frustration of another unsuccessful PL stint. Individual talent does cover lots of cracks. Ramsdale, KWP and Fernandes there. Surprised not to add Downes into that this season, and there seems to be a dip there (not 100% at present?) of late. McCarthy (Baz) Stephens, Bedders(Edwards), Wood (Taylor) Bree(Suga), Charles (Bragg), Downes (Aribo), Manning (Welington) AA(SAA), Fraser (Edozie) Archer (TP) Looks okay, but needs help and fresh faces to really push. And towards an overhaul to stay up, if we go back up.

As per Weston's post. You should bookmark it, for the next time you have an utter failure. Something that is only ever moments away. 🙂 Very disappointing to see your return so quickly go back to all your bad old habits.

Not convinced about his tracking back. Looks a bit stationary. 🙂

Surely his statue outside the ground is underway?

Ah. It must have been another 6 year old stamping their foot every time someone mentioned that we could do with a DoF to provide strategic oversight/ football experience to our club. 🙂

1) "Yes, it does." when someone questioned if we had a DoF, in the traditional sense of the role. When it was pointed out that the person you said was in that role, might not actually have those responsibilities, you reversed into hiding. 2) That's nice. Since it's not part of the point that you reversed into hiding, and it's something you do, I can ignore this.

Since spyinthesky said "will" it could be read that this will depend on who we manage to keep in the summer. Here's an example of that very thinking, right here. 🙂

You said that "If he is fit enough to play non league games he is fit enough to play Championship games" That's plural. So you're equating the fitness requirements of multiple Championship games with that of multiple non league games. "your thinking is flawed" is how you describe anyone who thinks that the fitness requirements of a Championship player are higher than those of a non league player. Then there are the points being made that players returning to fitness at a certain level, may not be able to be as good at that level due to injury. You've said that "In ability he is at the very least a Championship level player." Sadly, real players don't regain fitness and race back up to their FM potential ability. We won't know the level of his ability until he's back playing from his injury. As pointed out by Erwink and LD, for a start.

I think the one Hoddle used has passed on. But we could ask him to get a medium to contact her anyway, for a reference. 🙂

1) https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/61105-new-manager/page/47/ In summary: You insisted that Director of Football and Director of Football Operations were the same thing. "What difference do you think the one extra word makes" (also funny, considering you're pedantry about wording) When the difference was pointed out, and when the difference a word can make to a title, you tried and failed to shift the goalposts and rann off hiding. Oddly, just earlier today you were happy to accept everyone else was right. Just without ever,ever having to admit it. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/61307-johannes-spors-potential-sporting-director/page/2/ 2) I've not mentioned Ross Wilson, so you may be having a multi-pedantry fail across threads.

I only caught the second half. It took Bedders trying to get out of the way of a shot, and it going in for us to do much of anything, as well as more aggressive subs. in the end, it's another defeat to add to the pile. Doing it in spells isn;t worth anything on the points tally. Pluses were Sule tracking back. TP got a good delivery and got his first goal for us. He got into at least a couple of decent positions too. Sadly, our attack is so disjointed we stumble onto chances more than create them. Aribo and Les put in some decent runs. Will got into some space to get the ball forward. I didn;t see his performance the other night. He didn;t do massive amounts today, but was always there to receive and pass, which is what he's best at. I'll read the comments on the first half, and no doubt get a very different picture to the side that nearly got a draw, yet managed not to.

The expression has recently been updated to "A pedant with a keyboard" SaintsWeb gets cited in the references for the update, for some reason. 🙂

Crumbs!

Finally... we manage to get a decent delivery into the player who can head the ball. That's just taken us years to get a goal out of it. 🙂

TP!!!!!!!
