Nothing says you love a player more, than wanting to give birth to him.🙂 -
Saints 1-0 Sheff Utd - Match Thread
Holmes_and_Watson replied to Football Special's topic in The Saints
We can only play against who shows up. We got a single goal win against a struggling Utd side that allowed us all the possession we wanted, and also easily gave up the midfield. Even then it took a deflected goal to get the win, although Azaz could have got a second. Second half Scienza and Fellows put the ball well over. At the other end we had to clear off the line from a corner and Peretz had to make a good save from Bamford. The rebound from that handily didn't fall right to Hamer. We didn't offer much when Stewart went off. But at least Fellows knew to just start cutting in, rather than try and get a yone's head on it. The subs continue to make us a bit weaker. However, Manning did get a good block in, as he was pretty much defending only, and Robinson tracked back well. A much needed win to stop the slide. But we'll need a lot more against tougher opponents. -

Finally a team that allows us plenty of time to, not only play endlessly around the back, but gives us the midfield when we remember it's there. 27% was played in our final third. That's more than in theirs, but consists nearly all of our very patient passing. We look very comfortable. Scienza has had space to cut in, leading to the deflected goal. We finally have a wide player on the park with a tall player. Stewart is rusty, and hasn't always linked up perfectly. But what a difference to have some sort of outlet. Only one in it, so we can't be complacent. They have some strength on the bench. -

Azaz will be gutted to have missed that. Got I to the perfect position. Should have been a pen for Fellows too. -

Too much to hope that Utd take our rubbishness for granted, and forget the simple steps to stop us? Tonda's XI Peretz THB, Wood, Stephens Fellows, Jander, Downes, Manning AA, Azaz, Leo He's trapped in his formation. He'll bring on Stewart, Robinson, Quarshie, Matsuki, Bragg/ Charles My XI Peretz Jelert, Wood, THB, Welington Bragg Jander Fellows Leo AA Stewart Bree, Azaz, Charles, Robinson and Quarshie could be the changes. -
I've a couple of Rasmus' Magic Club Growing Beans? 🙂

Hard to say. I stopped being able to read it, after I'd backed slowly away to a safe distance.

I think you'll find that Starmer and Corbyn's were simple oversight from people of integrity, devoting all their thoughts to making the world a better place. While Farage didn't declare as he was on a pub crawl with Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins. 🙂

Unlikely though. I'm pretty sure peaches don't grow in Greenland. That's my indepth political analysis done for the day.

I hope he does well. Should Stoke buy him, we'll have made an accounting profit. All parties get a fresh start, and can try and forget how much it's actually cost us.

We've a ready replacement in Archer, and young Ballard will then get minutes...oh... 🙂

It's not you. As you say, nothing changes. So, the interviews are much the same. Just increasingly desperate, with eyes a little wider each time in the face of the approaching headlights. There's only the one tactic. So there's only so many ways to try and spin that it hasn't been found out. Our players are well versed in dealing with one-trick SR managers. They've not had to work particularly hard for any of them. Normal levels of apathy apply until the next one comes in.

Could they say "sod off" to Rasmus while they're there? That's where he seems to live. 🙂
-
No they don't. Which is why our next manager is to be a Mrs Weber. She's from Leipzig, and once passed their training ground. That makes the baby she is carrying a definite tactical genius, with the near complete level of inexperience that makes for the perfect SR candidate. The, as yet, unnamed baby, will be supported by assistant managers initially from midwifery, and then from a rolling group from those in the toddler play group.

The saloon has closed, the mine tapped out, the railroad diverted and even the tumbleweed choose better ghost towns to visit. That's where SR are. 🙂

Damion Duff, last of Shelbourne?

If only Tonda was faced with the crowd all holding cards saying "1.7" to remind him of how useless his xG stat was.

Although we say we're going to vote for party x, y or z isn't it the case that we're technically voting for a candidate? They may represent one party, and voters may vote on that basis. But they are actually voting for that person. So, if they no longer represent that party, they are still the winning candidate. Therefore, there's no requirement for a by-election. For similar reasons to Kraken and LD, it's not perfect, but I'm okay with it.

My Norwich supporting dad is now very happy they are out of the bottom three. This is without Sargent, who wanted out enough to get dropped to the reserves for saying he was unavailable for a match the night before. Makama has done really well. For anyone who hasn't seen him, he occupies that giant gap we have in our own side. A mobile, reasonably physical and fairly powerful centre forward, who can also bring others into play. My dad and I are just waiting for Clement's interview where he says "I am so lucky to arrive, just as results just happened to change. I'd like to thank the fates for making it look like this had anything to do with my coaching, tactics or managerial ability."

Rasmus trying to be a cultural disruptor, following the massive success he's had disrupting conventional football thinking. Read more in his new book "Christmas wasn't broke. I broke it."
