  1. I'd not trust my orbital death ray to anyone else.
  2. Hello from where ever we all are! Great to have you here. Here, being in the dreams of MLG where we're all supporters in a Football Manager stadium, under his control 🙂 It's still just living there that's the problem, isn't it? I'm still allowed to visit Glasgow?
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI0YKuIaVzw Joe Jackson - Be My Number Two
  4. Horrible for him. Out of nothing. Wishing him the strongest of recoveries.
  5. We could sign 10 super stars, around Bednarek, and get to mid table status that way. Well, 9 because JWP. 🙂
  6. I remember a Neil Moss interview, where he wanted to make the keepers spot on the bench his own. 🙂
  7. Ankersen I think is CEO of sports Republic as a group. Should be plenty of overlap with DOF, which was jointly at Brentford.
  8. While I'm sure it wasn't written without plenty of sources, he did spend his lockdown putting a book together. Unless my memory cell is faulty. I was thinking of it more as game tactics. It might well spread to a number of areas in the club. And there it would align with the key goals of the club: spend little, sell big, hope that the academy can produce some players, if not nab them as they're leaving other academies, look to nab the next Sancho. 🙂 I agree there's no reason why he couldn't step up. The issues he had previously would hopefully temper his relationship to the incoming manager. Normally, I'd be all over a resilient club structure. But when I read the post I was picturing Ralph arguing with the new guy, because he dumped the playbook early, when it clearly wasn't working, avoiding a crushing defeat and nicking a win. 🙂
  9. I'd just like to offer support for fractional children. There's no reason why they can't grow up to have, if not round number xG, then certainly fractional xG. Hopefully Simeu will be able to push on from his loan spell.
  10. Yeah, I see there are plenty of positives. I recall a la Liga club years ago saying that even the manager's departure was perfectly replaceable, as he fitted into an already well defined structure. That was Sevilla, back when Juandi Ramos was leaving for Spurs. It made a lot of sense not to constantly make sweeping changes. I'd probably prefer to see wherever are after the summer window, to see us progress more with Ralph's ideas. Recent results probably playing a part here.
  11. 🙂 Villa's Xavi. He's got a career out of it mostly at Champ level, but he was billed as something with a lot more. While JWP did make that progression, without the same level of fanfare.
  12. Not sure I'd necessarily want Ralph in that role. One concern is that it compromises the effectiveness of the new manager. Ralph has had a lot of leeway and space to develop both him and the team in the role. The new manager may need the same, but find themselves with friction against the Ralph Ball playbook. We'd be commiting to that style, perhaps, and that's a big decision. One I'd need to think more about.
  13. Yeah. I always like to thank them, even if it's on our fans forum, that they will never see. 🙂 It's incredible that a club with our resources can't send someone from their media team along with a camera/ shaky phone. Teirs of men's football, way down the pyramid manage to do it. But it's somehow beyond us for the women's team. And it was well worth the watch too. Shouldn't have to wait for a promotion to be getting on with even some basic coverage. That run down the left wing, going into added on time was great to watch. Shows the level of commitment they have, right to the end.
  14. That's Full Time. Saints energy levels and work rate were too much for Huddersfield. We dominated more and more a sit went on. Congratulations to the team and management. And thanks to the people behind giving us a stream of the match.
  15. Fantastic run right at the end. Deserved another.
  16. Nope... It's now 3!!!!
  17. Forced a good save from their keeper there.
