  1. Gosh! I am out of touch. Looking forward to this getting done at the earliest. It's a good time to be buying garden chairs. And I hear we'll be shopping, so the players can have a seat in the centre circle, for their half time team talks.
  2. Obviously, we're waiting until we are officially relegated and his current team Kidderminster, are finished with their playoffs to establish compensation. 🙂
  3. If entertainment value is the criteria, I'd expect the club to be paying each fan more than £4.50. 🙂
  4. Agreed. But are SR really going to convince determined, resilient, winner Coleen to come here?
  5. Hopefully, they'll bring Wolfgang Wolf back.
  6. That made me chuckle. Very appropriate after all the times we've been murdered this season. 🙂
  7. A SR spokesman that "following Stewart's transfer, Southampton FC, along with our insurers, conducted a full review of medical and strategic risk at the club. We are pleased to be renewing our transfer dealing with Sunderland, with confidence in both our structure and in the talent of their goalkeeper."
  8. Buendia was out on loan for second half of this season, after returning from his ACL injury. They paid 33-38 million for him from Norwich. Now, if Villa were unlikely to give him minutes...and there was some accident where all the decision makers suffered from concussion, and forgot who and where we'd be... 🙂
  9. In that most of them are imaginary, we kind of have to. 😀
  10. Have a look on "Settings" Beside the parental control option, there should be one that prevents adults seeing things of a traumatic nature. That removes all mention of us, never mind any clips. 🙂
  11. Where is this French international, S. Fallacy, I keep reading about here? 😀
  12. You can't say SR haven't left their stamp on their clubs. That's two out of three where you'd not miss at least 18 out of the squad. It's not everyone in yesterday's team. There are a couple who look really frustrated at those around them. Hopefully, they are not the ones going out the door. Something Saints should be wary of. Just because you struggled in one league, doesn't mean you should accept that position in the one below. Both sides need less fluffy backroom appointments, and more on field drivers.
  13. Grandson: Would you keep it down? I'm trying to check the scores. John Boy: Wheeeee! Look at my glider! Can we have ice cream?! The grim alternative of watching Southampton, makes doing anything else that bit sweeter. 🙂
  14. One result of such intensively drilled systems, for us, is that it lends itself to having automatons for players. It's an odd balance. One one side, not having the highest quality team, a system can get us punching above our weight. On the other, our systems are mostly flawed, and rely on individual quality to dig us out. Something that goes against being an automaton. The result is that we've a squad with little to no leadership in it. Just lots of similar level players who need to be led by the hand in a system. Nathan Jones certainly mentioned how quiet the squad was. By the time he arrived, nearly all of the higher, more independently minded, quality players had departed. Martin inherited that. It was at the stage if you showed some Pashun and shouted a bit, you were considered a leader. So that was Stephens and Lallana. Horribly enough, that did make a difference on occasion. The rest were so timid, they needed someone shouty with them. It's just a shame our top shouty person has a glaring error a game in him.
  15. Perhaps one day, everyone else who laughed will believe you. But don't count on it. Here's Patrick's primer for you, in case you get confused again. Or perhaps you'll go down your other rabbit hole that evening, where all the problems in the universe are down to recruitment. 🙂
  16. There's only a hole in the ground because you kept digging it, after not being able to tell the difference between strategy decisions and recruitment ones, a few days back. 🙂
  17. No doubt the other three at least made some effort to avoid it. Ramsdale probably has more respect for those three.
  18. 🙂 Fun aside, that would be a no. I doubt any experienced, top level manager would align with SR's "genius" policies. It's not just cheapness as a reason they go for up and coming managers. Noone serious would put up with their nonsense. It would quickly end in acrimony. Jesse Marsch saw through it quickly enough to avoid signing up. One of those "Arteta quits after 3 days, after realising SR are a bunch of charlatans. Police also investigating a bump on Arteta's head, and a dodgy signature, both appearing just before he was announced as manager."
  19. Arsenal could line up as a guard of honour either side of an uncontested red carpet between the goals. We would still go in the wrong direction, and put it into our own net.
  20. SR will convince themselves that you meant they were exceeding expectations, and get back to that left field thinking that's worked so well. 🙂
  21. "Hey everyone. I know you are giants of fast food, running quick, efficient outlets. But...have you considered breaking all that?" Mr Ankerson's short lived career in the fast food industry.
  22. Out because of a scanning appointment. 🙂
