Gloucester Saint

I think this is why Will is on thin ice now. Going to take a sudden clicking of the new players and a run of wins to keep his job which I cannot see for the life of me.

The Cornish Beckenbauer is though. Second SR pet after Gavin.

That’s fucking shocking.

Out fanbase is bigger than it was for the Branfoot protests in the early 1990s but they’ve got 0.2% of the backbone. Mirrors what’s on the pitch, in the dug out and in the boardroom perfectly. Wet Wet Wet. I used to think Devon and Cornwall were the graveyard of ambition but it’s actually Hampshire.

Mads has sunk to their level. Still’s replacement needs to just tell him to play like he did for Brentford when they went up and to ignore the other three twats.

The pressure from upstairs and the obsessions over SR ‘projects’ is at the heart of why the club is failing. 2014/15 and 2015/16 were so enjoyable in part because Ronald basically told Les to fuck off when he stuck his nose in. WGS tolerated with Lowe up to a point but Rupert knew the boundaries unlike the other managers. Cortese knew the boundaries with Poch. Appy is right that we couldn’t afford Dyche now but it’s the type of no-bullshit manager needed to detoxify the whole club and keep SR at arms length so recruitment and football operations are left to the experts. Ankerson, Spors and Solak being told to keep their nose out and stump up when needed would help no end.

League 1 here we come (again).

That was bizarre. Either Still has appalling judgement or he’s wet behind the ears and told by the SR board to play Bazunu.

It appears so

Could be a chance to go one better than 9-0. SR could really make their mark.

It’s a bit like Barings Bank doing the same with Nick Leeson - ‘we sent him on all of those regulatory banking and ethics courses he ignored, but after the prison sentence it’ll be alright’.

It’s amazing how high shit can be stacked.

Was a good player but we’d be replacing Ross Stewart basically.

It’s the other end of the table if he stays - can’t even see Saints matching Luton’s points total last season at this rate. If SR fancy a crack at League 1, they should keep him by all means.

If SR take us down as far as the National League - if Solak really wants to rub it in on behalf of Milan Mandaric - Bazunu would still be the worst keeper in that division. Only consolation of his latest Frank Spencer display is that even Spors might actually think twice about giving the Irish Tommy Forecast a new contract.

Unless there is a total transformation in his performance and technique, his place in my worst ever XI is safe up front. Makes Carrillo look like Jan Koller by comparison. At least he will never get into my Saints worst ever top flight XI. Bazunu has the ‘honour’ of being in goal for both.

And he wasn’t even at the club when Martin was here, so why the hell is he doing that? Needs to be a bollocking from the bench and stands when the players check back like that needlessly, snap them out of it through pure fear if nothing else works. Frustrated groans aren’t cutting it

You’d never find late middle aged white graduates of Dulwich College in Reform. Nor Eton or Radley Colleges. Or from Uppingham Public School in Surrey. Oh no. Nor studying at Oxbridge. Reform are being tagged the Black Panthers in the press due to their sheer spectrum of ethnic diversity and staggering rise from comprehensive education backgrounds.

Correct. Pity the ‘working class’ people who voted Reform (irony as many aren’t) didn’t understand that, just like they didn’t understand the Referendum.

Because he’s an idiot.

Hope Gubbins is left out of the squad for Surrey and goes back to Middlesex. Disgraceful decision-making, Neil was all over them. And Currie bowling wides and Abbott/Wheal short into that surface. Will Still-level stupidity.

Hampshire CCC just blew a second cup final within a week to cap it off as well. And this was blown by idiot tactics, Somerset won last week’s. Whoever took the left arm spinner Neil off deserves the same P45 as Still, Stephens and Bazunu.

Imagine if Soggy’s grandson got a login as well?

Needs shipping off to the MLS as soon as their transfer window opens, although it will probably the level below that realistically.

Kyle Abbott has had a nightmare there and whoever decided to take Neil off who had their batters on toast for Currie (who otherwise bowled superbly) needs putting into the bomb squad and told to find a new county tomorrow. Don’t want whoever that was anywhere near the squad for the Surrey game. Wheal bowling short as well as Abbott was brainless on that surface.
