Gloucester Saint

I’d make Clough look like a softie

Pathetic. Some of the worst driving you will ever see and I’ve driven circa 300k miles in my life. Hopefully a driving ban and a further 12 points for being a chav so he’s banned for at least 4 years. Re-take extended 2 hour driving test with 2 years probation if he passes. Then tell the kids on board how severely he’s been punished so they are never tempted to copy him. Don’t want him jailed as costs us money, he can financially pay for his crimes. Taxis are expensive.

As long as we get £40m for the cunt I don’t care.

Struggling to give a flying fuck until the match days and even then I’ll struggle to work up much interest. Besides which, there’s rather a lot for the club to do by then: - Somehow get three more points to avoid Derby’s wooden 🥄 - Sell £125m of the few decent players and pay some contracts up and retire others (Bazanu, Stewart, Larios) - Buy £60-70m on 4-5 players to blow the other sides out of the water. Pace and strength right through the spine. New first XI goalkeeper essential as well. Blow the Neves record fee out of the water on at least one of those. - Offload a load more crap on nominal fees to offset their bloated wages - Re-integrate the successful loan players (Edwards, Charles) and extend contracts. I think Sheff Utd will go up so you can add another £10m to the £125m coming in above. - Appoint a high calibre manager name for that level (Cooper would be one example) and arrange a tough pre-season programme to drill the defence and test out the pressing game.

Dragan would give Adam a ‘people disappear in Serbia all of the time’ look and the words would soon dry up.

And to help pay for it, not been sentimental fools and wasted more money on a 2 year extension for McCarthy. Which compounded the original disaster £14m outlay on a League 1 keeper (only just L1 quality as well).

It’s not like America has ever had a near-nuclear meltdown like Three Mile Island is it?

Dragan has to be perfect in 25/26. Big name manager hire for this level, biggest budget in the league and an energetic, physically strong squad with pockets of creativity Spores brings in. Wolves and Nuno, that’s the template he needs.

THB has been abysmal as well, hope he moves on in the summer and turns a x2 profit on the ‘won an England cap and still young’ card. Juric made another tactical howler today and not the answer but the club is a fucking basket case, only Carlisle and Morecambe worse I’d say. Reading in a financial sense but turned the corner in a football one.

Good article here on why car tariffs are nonsense. There’s a trade imbalance because 4 litre gas guzzlers don’t fit around Europe streets with 15th century buildings. Some of the corners around here are a prime example unless you want to collide with honey coloured stone. Tariffs also stifle innovation, look at how lazy BMC became pre-Common Market membership If Americans made better compacts with good automatic transmissions that were durable like Japanese and German models, I’d be open to buying one https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq8kn5v37wxo

He was still sat next to Spores last week, albeit with a face like a smacked arse.

This is SR’s song which sums up their philosophy - 10% is better than nothing at all

Avram might want to return to the UK and specifically Hampshire. He enjoyed his Thai massage in Horton Heath.

National Parks as well https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/15/us-forest-service-national-park-service-layoffs Fire mitigation will be very difficult and the parks left in a far worse state. Mind you, anyone wanting to visit America over the next 4 years for leisure (work is different) has to be a MAGA supporter.

Look at what they’ve done to the NIH. Going to reduce the volume of high quality clinical research by cutting indirect cost rates to 15% with a ripple effect worldwide and other populist pillocks will look at it. Only the very wealthiest Ivy League will be in the game now to cross-subsidise.

Funnily enough looks the good player he was when he first arrived playing to his strengths under an experienced manager, not a prick who has managed for 5 minutes with a ‘philosophy’ and whose teams concede a million goals.

Do I really need to spell this out? Their manager is as wedded to his system as Martin was his. The midfield needs flooding today but no, stick with 5 at the back and get annihilated.

Because it’s obvious we’re going to get beaten several-nil at home to a club with an 11k stadium given the pathetic central midfield their latest idiot has just selected. Might as well as selected wet cardboard than Smallbone and Aribo’s forte is not a holding midfielder. Effective as advanced, not his fault there’s no football knowledge at the club.

At least they have a PL and FA Cup to show for it, we’ve got the net spend and owner asset-stripping trophies. Even the gunner running shysters in E Hants got them a cup.

Good on the Leicester fans for getting organised and showing some guts, unlike our obedient League 2 Hampshire church mice.🐭

If Rasmus and Spores told Juric that they had put £10k per person on 0-6 to Bournemouth at 12/1 and make sure that happens so we get our payout, that’s the team and formation you’d pick.

Good grief. Bournemouth away Martin selects a line up and formation that was so incoherent and nonsensical it looked like a wino from Hoglands Park had made it. Six months later a new manager does the same, possibly even worse actually. Against possibly the highest energy midfield in the league we pick a 9 stone kid and someone who isn’t a strong runner or tracker. Need to start again in the summer.

Will be on the bench I’d imagine, really would be in the deep end starting him.
