Gloucester Saint

This as well - aged like a post-NYE buffet dump https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/03/suspect-old-friend-liz-truss-will-radical-british-prime-minister/

And you can set your watch by which posters it will be - ‘I miss Wussell’

I’ve got this vision now of an older woman clad in black dictating the transfer activity.

It gives them time to avoid boxing themselves in stupidly as they have done in the last summers eg McCarthy’s nonsense extension and George Long and Ramsdale loans. McCarthy out of contract, Bazunu one year left and let him go on a nominal. With the City pedigree there will be another Rasmus-type who might take a punt. The loan fee cushions some of the hit on Ramsdale - promoted team £15m. If Peretz is genuinely decent, then he could be #1 if Bayern don’t want too much, if he’s ok then bring in #1 competition like this (he is quite good) https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/derby-county-struck-gold-with-jacob-zetterstrom-wolves-brentford-wanted-him/ and if he’s crap he returns to Bayern/they want daft money.

Tend to agree, nothing to lose in terms of league position. If he looks like he won’t adapt quickly then McCarthy it is Fratton.

Hmmm, does the condescending remind you of anyone on here? Perhaps with a link to a former French crop-circling winger? SFC media team has another account live it appears.

The classic example was the first season at SMS, when Festa (pre-fish) was sent off just after Saints had equalised v Boro. Gareth Southgate literally talked and organised the defence and midfield through what was needed throughout the last 20 minutes plus Mark Schwarzer claiming every set piece Saints put it plus Delap’s throws. Loads of us commented on it at the time. Lacking a CB leader, a Southgate, a Fonte, as well as a keeper who will clean up and out around their box (McCarthy is better than Bazunu at this but the club ought to be aiming for far better. Bazunu’s distribution is also massively over-stated).

What score did you give on GlassDoor?

My expectations are rock bottom but the fact that at least Eckert and Spors can see how appalling Bazunu and McCarthy are that Hamburg’s reserve can replace them is something at least. Four keepers now, unless Long can be returned to Norwich or Bazunu gets loaned out again….nah, that can’t happen can it?

Also in jest, you reminded this of this Little Britain sketch series which ran

Fucking boring to boot.

Or the other Sky Sports Channels, or indeed Amazon Prime, Netflix, Paramount, ITV X etc etc. Even better, the local pub with no live sport on and when the evenings get lighter a nice walk in the countryside. Farm shops are a good Saints alternative for the Saturday games with far more variety than watching THB pass slowly to Wood, to Stephens, to Manning, to Bazanu, back to THB and repeat. Occasionally bringing the right back if it’s someone the other squad members talk to.

This is the team and formation which logically should be playing subject to fitness but we all know won’t be.

Tongue in cheek response I know, and it wasn’t specific to Starmer but the country as a whole since the credit crunch. We just cannot seem to get major projects completed vaguely on time/on budget and/or maintain major infrastructure we already have (this being a case in point but there’s loads of overheads/points faults all the time all over the UK).

Relegations and administration is the only escape.

Doing Rasmus’s bidding. It’s not our club anymore, it’s SR’s. Or at least until it goes into administration over the next couple of years. Sickening thing is that the staff will be laid off but Gavin’s new contract given to him by that wanker Ankerson will be protected as a football creditor. Football is vile.

This is symptomatic of what is going on, regardless of which side of the channel the power fault has happened on. It seemingly started with T5 debacle at Heathrow and gets worse. Doesn’t matter which sector it is, the level of competence and inability to problem-solve is infectious https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c93wkw37p0pt

£300-400 if it is like the Cotswolds. Doesn’t matter what the job is…

It’s still not good enough with three CBs - witness the numerous free headers given away eg Coventry - and to boot it surrenders the midfield where we have got some of the better players in the league. Part of that is Manning making zero effort to stop/limit crosses coming in with total space and time to deliver on the spot and injured RBs (Bree needs to come in) but not all of it.

Jeffrey scored!

Shaping up to be a relegation 6-pointer.

Littler a set up on Rob Cross so checked in, and yet more horrific ponderous Martinball from the sounds. Fair play to anyone still watching it let alone shelling out to be there.

To go with the crapper trophy finishing bottom of the save stats in the division he’s playing in for the third season out of four.

He’s one of their own anyway.

Rasmus always gets what he wants from Uncle Dragan.
