Excellent. So Leicester really are in freefall!
-
But when you look at our front line this year of Tall Paul, Archer, earlier Adam A, Sulemana (you could add Dibling too) and Ross Stewart, who do you keep? None of them are particularly inspiring. I'd probably keep Stewart but bearing in mind he's made of glass, he wouldn't be my only option.

Championship season 2025/26
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to Football Special's topic in The Saints
At time of writing, it really didn't work out for those that like to go to some away games. Luton and Cardiff off the menu. Good news is Coventry and Bristol City are still in the same league and wouldn't it be good to play Charlton? Mad Nate is getting madder. -
Um gottes willen? Was ist los? The management team is turning German. Next it'll be Still. While they might be limited in their knowledge of the premiership and not have so many contacts over here, they can't be any worse than the "If it ain't broke, break it" clever bollocks leadership we've had over the last couple of years. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in the summer. I'm guessing that to many people it will seem underwhelming when they don't have a mass clearout of the current squad.

But it was good to see Mad Nats hasn't lost his faith in God!

But what I didn't appreciate was that because the Premier League and the Championship are run by two different entities, if Leicester are given a points deduction, they can only be deducted points in the premier league because that's where they committed the so-called offence. So they won't get a points deduction in the Championship. They'll still be shit with RM in charge.

How does any club genuinely think this person is a good manager? Not even in the championship. The good news is that if Leicester take him, then we'll have a better chance against them next year.
-
Couldn't find just Charly getting a red card so put a couple of quid on both teams getting a red at 50/1 😜
-
Or maybe they've announced that so the stadium doesn't get ripped up on Sunday (reckon the home end would have been chaotic). Then a few weeks later will announce that after careful consideration it isn't viable to run two stadiums after all.

Who do we want next as Saints manager?
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to Tommy's topic in The Saints
A lot of us do, but of the three main names, he comes across as the most likely to stay with us once promoted rather than use us as a stepping stone. -
Saints 0-0 Man City - Match Thread
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to SaintsBarry74's topic in The Saints
A few years ago, the club produced a calendar with some of its memorable moments. The 5-1 thrashing of Derby, the promotion game against Walsall and I remember ticking off about five of six of the games. Well, today I can say - I was there when we didn't become the worst team ever in the premier league. We're only the second worst! Don't think the match will make any future calendars! It was awful and City looked pretty second rate. -
Saints 0-0 Man City - Match Thread
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to SaintsBarry74's topic in The Saints
Were they practising their commands: "Fetch" - for Aaron Ramsdale to pick the ball out of the net "Sit" - to KWP or Sule or any number of our players that seem to spend more time on their arse than on their feet. and there's probably a lot more useful things they could be doing... -
Watching the Bristol City v Sheff Utd play-off match today, BBD isn't even on the bench. Is he injured?

Saints 0-0 Man City - Match Thread
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to SaintsBarry74's topic in The Saints
When we last played them, didn't Pep say we were the best team City had played and he could learn a lot from us? And then City went in to freefall and realised what we were doing was absolute bollocks!! So now they're playing more positive football again and this could be anything. If Rusk persists with this idea of keeping the loss to a minimum, 0-4 seems about right. -
Who do we want next as Saints manager?
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to Tommy's topic in The Saints
Starting to get that feeling that he might have been our preferred choice but we are not necessarily his. Looking at Oddschecker this evening, there are some pretty ropey names linked to the job and Gerrard is worryingly low odds! -
A lot might say.... All players can have the odd good game where, probably by chance, they're in the right place at the right time to make a tackle, or swing a foot at the ball and it goes in the right direction, but no, he is a contributing factor to our decline. We got rid of him once to Bournemouth, but like a bad rash, he keeps coming back.
-
From kicking the pitch instead of the ball in the first minute, to hoofing the ball back to Rambo without hardly looking, to giving away free kicks, to being nowhere near Vardy when he scored...and then not seeming to care. I agree. He was totally out or order. Should have been hauled off after 15 minutes. Perhaps nobody will come in to buy him but somehow we need to get rid. On loan somewhere. Anywhere. He can't be near our club next season.

Who do we want next as Saints manager?
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to Tommy's topic in The Saints
What I don't get is even if Rusk has no ambitions to be the future manager, he could want to be in the future set-up or at the very least enhance his own reputation. He comes in on the back of a 0-0 draw at Fulham and has a free hit. So why did he revert to such negativity and the Russball/5 at the back nonsense? Yes, we're a shit team but a lot of us recognise that and just want effort and positivity. Get the ball in to the opponents penalty area. All sorts of things can happen. Maybe to get rid of the negativity, they should be fined £1,000 of their wages every time they pass the ball sideways of backwards (granted Ross Stewart would have still been quids in, he only touched the ball 3 times today!) -
Playing 4 at the back makes us better. With Smallbone on, even the 4-4-1 formation looks better than the first half
-
Can't Gary Birtles hear what our fans are singing?
-
Got the 'B' team on commentary today. Hopefully they'll take the microphone away from the air-conditioning unit on my stream for the second half! Got to agree with Birtles, no point in changing the No9 if you don't knock it to him.
-
Why can't the manager and players see it? Birtles is getting really frustrated with our crappy negativity and he hasn't has to watch this pile of shit all season.
-
This is reminding me of Russ Ball...
-
The pundit's been saying the players have been at full pelt...what's he been watching?
-
Even he's had enough and wants out
