Gloucester Saint

That did the trick 😂

Can’t believe they have held out for nearly 30 minutes. No chance of pulling off an upset over 90 minutes.

Russ won’t sub his buddy though - and the midfield already has all the bite of a field of 🐑. Seeing Lesley trap it 15 yards would be a laugh though.

They are bound to target the only two genuine footballers we have - Dibling and Fernandes. Lallana is the third when fit.

Doesn’t know whether he’s having a shit or a haircut

I’m finding it funny in a gallows humour way but appreciate not everyone will. This is worse than Jones, Branfoot, Pellegrino, the lot.

Lesley makes Carlton Palmer’s first ‘touch’ look like MLT’s 😂

I wish he had Luke’s aim in front of goal that he has on the dartboard.

If I was their PA, I’d be playing that at HT to troll Saints. Look like tarts and playing like them.

It is dreadful. Rasmus must have serious issues with alcohol or some other substance to think this is professional standard or vaguely acceptable.

Needs to be fitted with mirrors.

BBC Sport ‘Do Southampton ever learn? Almost make a huge mistake passing it around at the back’

Russ will have a stiffy at that.

Will you be watching the game despite your injury in the Liverpool game?

There or Norwich are his ideal jobs.

Duck will be quacking furiously at the screen when he does.

Happened under Ralph in a home game v Brighton, RH froze out Alex afterwards for a while in frustration at not coming off.

I try to feature beers that are local or not easy to get hold of in my native Hants and more common to where we live now but tonight feels like a bitter night being mild in temperature so I’ve put the rarer winter beers to one side that I’ve been having in the cold snap and poured a Thornbridge Lord Marples instead for the game. Very good it is too, lovely head, a subtle fruitiness of citrus and 🍐, dry and bitter finish. Bottled conditioned with live yeast so has some of the smoothness of cask.

Duly noted and bookmarked.

That’s a pity, they were looking forward to a scrap after the game. Surprised someone didn’t have 50p.

That sounds like Soggy and a conversation from one of the people he bumps into in his travels around Kent. You don’t think he’s been lurking on here do you and taken a leaf from Soggy’s book?

Correct, Braverman deliberately put them into the net migration figures to stir it up for Sunak. Pity Starmer has been a dick so far about not taking them back out. Ukraine as well.

Happy birthday Notnowcato. Hope the team puts in a shift tonight and you get to enjoy a result. Harvey’s is what we had on cask at our wedding in Sussex. Dark Star is good stuff as well but it depends on whether you like hoppier beers or not. Harvey’s do an Old Ale this time of year - if you see it do try it.

Fair point - Jason’s CV looks decent and cane across as having some substance but should never have signed off on Crock Ness and not clear how much Russell was his appointment. My sense was he completed it but it was a Rasmus idea, which would the extreme clinging onto him when any other club would have moved on by now. We will probably never know.
