Here you go... Intro... Pushing hair gently from her eyes, she looks wistfully beyond the rain and wind. Beyond the Welsh valleys to a life unlived. A settled life, with a man who had given up dreams of football management. But who would cage the dreams of another? She returns inside, knowing that somewhere Nathan has followed another path. A path to redemption and glory. Closing... Nathan's passion has moulded another team spirit that Saints simply could not match. He demands that his players match that dedication. Nathan fights with them. Fresh from 30 minutes of fist pumping up the touchline, while still on his knees, a bloodied Nathan took his chewed fingers to the press to give credit to his team. "I'm not going to say I've proven I'm pound for pound the best. There are other, stronger currencies. And I'm the best there too. Me, me, me, aggressive, me, me, me, front footed, me,me,me, not saying they shouldn't have sacked me but 5-0 tells a story, me, me,me...and God"

I'd go to see Sue Pollard in Mission Improbable.

A game of few chances. But then Fleury had the job done with their second, just after the break. Around 70 mins VA looked to find some attacking pressure. Alette made a double save; Courtet then hit the side netting, and there were a couple of longer range efforts blazed over. Nothing too troubling. For a while Courtet looked to have a little more help. Nothing direct enough, but at least having more numbers up there, with Diamande supporting. It didn't last. Courtet was back to popping up all over the pitch in desperation to get the ball. It's a massive flag. He runs himself into the ground and out of position trying to do the jobs others are supposed to be there to do. The whole thing results in a side that has no definite plans when they get to the final third, and few there to take advantage anyway. They know it too, and there's far too much passing around, allowing opponents to set up and defend. Courtet had all of a single ball in behind the defence. Taking 70 minutes to try and impose on a 2 goal deficit is not something a promotion chasing side does. But it's just what a side where VA deservedly sit in the table do.

The half time team talk worked wonders. Concede a second right after kick off. Good shot, but grim from VA.

I'd be semi-curious, demi committed to seeing how popular it was.

Phil Brown combining halftime team talk, with the fans half time entertainment, as he does it on the pitch.

Let's face it. There's only one winner of the "SaintsWeb FAB Representative" vote.

SR would have pushed him out the door at the end of his breakthrough season. Another player trading success! π

There's no link between ethnicity and intangibility. Baz gets criticism for the shots that go through him. I'd love him to do well here. I'd love all of our players to do well here. In the last few seasons I'm now happy for any of them to do well here. π

Yeah. I've read that despite quotes from activists in the UK, that the actual violence is very low. But one death is one too many and I don't have any breakdown on circumstances. One thing that stood out was the number of shootings in Brazil though.

While there's still time to take to pay respects to the sad passing of any victim of violence, hate or those who have ended their own lives, there were also vigils around the UK https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/20/uk-trans-day-of-remembrance-vigils-you-can-attend-in-person-or-online/ There's also some harrowing (so trigger warning) details about such violence here https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/

Tsk. You read someone's posts for a while, and it turns out they are imaginary and off to SOG's lunches. π

Clearly the solution is embrace people crossing the channel on boats, sign them up and we'll have a more functional navy. π

Now that we've seen them, it's our turn to hide. UK reduced to playing hide and seek in the face of conflict. π

Should I ever find myself as a pious misogynist shouting antisemitic abuse over my Guardian, I can just put it down to being one of those days. I could then go on to make condescending remarks to the mixed race bar maid in a happier frame of mind, knowing I was really fine. The idiot's idiot of the year award is going nowhere for another year. -

I'm a bit shocked that still some people this odious man. I naively thought that still some people this odious man. But to hear that still some people this odious man, will make me reconsider my view that still some people this odious man.
