Farmer Saint

Fair enough - yes it's sad times when anyone is at risk with their job - it will however be interesting to see how many go (and if we go up next season, how difficult it will be to re-recruit in a post Brexit world).

Do we have more than 200 office staff? Seems a lot.

So... Sell Lavia - £40m JWP - £35m KWP - £20m Salisu - £15m ABK - £20m Perraud - £5m Diallo - £5m Orsic - £2m?? Circa £140m and £330k pw wages Released Walcott Ely Caballero £120k pw wages Loanee Return AMN £30k pw wages Unknown loans sell/keep Tella Stephens Remaining Bazunu McCarthy Livramento DCC Bednarek Lyanco Bree Larios Aribo Armstrong Djenepo Alcaraz Sulemana Edozie Adams Armstrong Onoachu Mara

You realise that mistakes aren't trained - mistakes are actually not something under a managers control, other than picking players that are more or less inclined to those mistakes. 4th top scorers in the League last year - that sounds pretty good doesn't it?

Seems you've watched Saints the same amount as the other fuckwits who think we played "possession" football under Selles. We haven't played possession football since Puel.

So you rate him then?

The club's not rotten, there has just been a lack of investment in previous years, and some bad decisions made last year, that's all. Get over it, move on, support the Club.

I hear we wanted Guardiola to continue the "Man City experiment", but we wouldn't stump up the additional £400k in compensation that City wanted. He'd already signed a 12 month rental on a 2 bed in Ocean Village, so he's now lost his £1300 deposit. Livid, apparently.

Still no names though...

I see no-one has managed to come up with a better, realistic appointment.

Any idea who?

So, trying to work this out. Are we: A) Happy with Russell Martin (happy clapper apologists) B) Not happy with Russell Martin (cry-baby snowflakes) C) Ambivalent about Russell Martin (not proper Saints fans) D) All of the above I think he seems like a decent appointment (if it happens). We aren't going to get anyone who's that good (ie Prem calibre), that ship has sailed. I don't know about anyone else, and I would like to see exactly who leaves in the Summer, but we could have a very exciting young team to bed in at Championship level. I'm looking forward to it.

Selles is a good looking Nathan Jones. We're fucking shit.

Should have asked Ivan Toney before the game what the score was gonna be.

As has been said many times, we just don't create enough, and haven't for years. Most of our goals come from "worldies" or mistakes.

We're going to get battered.

He does offer far more than goals though (thank God) - compare his average contribution to any other striker we've had since Ings and he's off the charts better.

I like Adams. Underrated. Lots of strikers miss chances. Issue is we create so little it seems like it's all down to him that we lose. It's not, it's our lack of creativity (and has been for years).

I've only had mine a week. I'll exchange it for a new flail mower though, if anyone has one.

Players need pelters for this. There is only so much that Managers can be blamed for. Even with basic tactics we should be better than this. Its not that they don't know what they're doing, they're just incapable of doing it.

Well, I think today he has proved he's worth a try in my eyes. Congrats Ruben, you are now classed as a certified Selles.

If he'd have just said "The Twat", he may have been referring to the Austrian twat, and not the Welsh one. It's being used in a way to identify the person being insulted, not as part of the insult. It's not xenophobic, and it's not racist.

The way Selles talked was like a normal manager - it's only because we're predisposed to that Welsh fucknugget that we recognise it as something out of the ordinary.

My 10 year old daughter has decided to support Brighton. I asked her why and she said "Well, you don't seem too happy supporting Saints." She's fucking perceptive, that girl.
