  1. It just typifies the lack of football knowledge and experience at the club since SR pitched up. As @RedArmy said, the Boro shellacking and his horrific part in that was too much even for SR but it was 92 games too late. I think the loan spell at Stoke really finished it off for him here though as they couldn’t write it off as being psychological in a Saints shirt AKA BBD. He was dreadful at Liege as well.
  2. Look away Bazunu fans is the title of the video. Look away @pingpong
  3. I thought to myself, ‘are these the worst ones?’. Then I had a flashback to Boxing Day at Oxford and Baz the Hologram (tm @L1Minus10j. Like @Sheaf Saint mine won’t embed either. But fair to say Baz loves giving at Christmas combined with the Brighton howler! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBoicPHGYF4
  4. One aspect that’s been missed is that the boats have sailed the same route as Brittany Ferries. That’s 4-5 longer, and a lot more treacherous than from Calais to Dover. It shows how desperate the smugglers are and how little they value those on those little rafts. Can see a major sinking coming up if the forecast suddenly changed mid-sail which happens in early autumn on longer routes.
  5. It’s a common theme with the BNP, sorry, I meant Raise the Colours lot https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxp2n3eqy7o One other member of that group pepper sprayed someone after wrongly accusing them of stealing his bicycle. Another has been inside for drug dealing and importation. Bridge himself has also had a 3 year football banning order.
  6. Quite. Safety and preference are not the same thing. We’ll need some compromise for the partnership to work with France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany, but I don’t give a toss if their relatives are here illegally already.
  7. It’s similar to when I saw Michael Howard and David Blunkett interviewed about their time as Home Secretary. Blunkett was asked about the successes in reducing anti-social behaviour offences but violent crime rising. Blunkett replied to say that you pull one lever and have some quantitative success but then another area of your brief creates a major headache. Howard added that he’d challenged civil servants when they said he’d have success in one category but another would get worse as resources shifted, as Blunkett had, but had to concede they were right in the end. It’s similar to small boats, government has squeezed them to the extent the number of ASs per boat has increased hugely and very difficult to get launched, engines seized, prison sentences here and France/Germany. Even if we create legal routes albeit with low success rates and make it automatic ban on cases for small boats arrival, the gangs will switch back to infiltration of large trucks. Small boats are one battle in an ongoing war. Win it but will be straight onto the next ones.
  8. That’s five easily, without really trying. Plenty more we can dig up.
  9. Yep, Suella Braverman was the main culprit behind the spike in small boats, which has now halved, by her cutting off legal routes to apply from overseas, and relying on the preposterous and expensive Rwanda fig leaf which would have made only 2-3% difference for an enormous outlay. Her Border Force cuts led to an unprecedented backlog of cases. What a fucking moron she is. Add in an automatic rejection for coming on a small boat (we know they’re economic migrants which aren’t in areas we need) and that will see a further decline in volumes and further cut off the smuggling gangs opportunities on top of the boat engine seizures, arrests and imprisonments.
  10. I’ve got even better. Watch Lallana’s surprise as his powder puff header creeps in under Bazunu’s body. Then the nightmare at Portman Road https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c98rrld22v4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOgOZdCFQy4
  11. Dexy’s furious at Farage using their song https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/reform-uks-nigel-farage-disgusts-34572917 Bob the Estate Agent also enjoying the violence shown to a heckler https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/boohoo-reform-uks-robert-jenrick-34576695
  12. Agree with 95% of that but Lincoln had at least 3 very good headed chances from not far out, at least two they should have scored and at least worked Peretz on others. Schlott coped pretty well but Stephens gave Peretz a hospital backpass and is barely selectable. Hope Abbott is good to go Tuesday night.
  13. This is the thing about context - appears the player was slapped in the face although nit confirmed that the lad did it https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/crm9kv844jvo
  14. Hence finishing fourth that season behind Ipswich who did score a second, third and fourth against similar opponents. Martin’s Saints focused on the possession stats instead. Players chose awful options today more than once four on four at 0-1 even before Tonda’s suicide subs.
  15. Worse than Hazard and the ball boy that, full grab around the throat. Fans throw the ball past players every week, East Stand at the Dell certainly did. Should be a ban.
  16. Very rare that I stick up for a skate but the player hasn’t behaved well there and without seeing any context prior to that was in the wrong.
  17. It amazes me how Martin can keep getting management jobs/contracts and Ross Stewart three year playing contracts. Fair play in many ways to them and their agents in many ways for being able to blag it. It’s as if there aren’t newspapers or internet, and club boards have never come across their reputations and injury records.
  18. But the -4 is Tonda’s own fault so the table doesn’t lie.
  19. 60 years ago the likes of JD were burning down churches in the Deep South. Now he’s VP. How the mighty have fallen.
  20. I’d take that to get rid of him. Stain on our club.
  21. He can’t because he owes his job and knows a stronger board and club would have and should have sacked him, but SR are pathetic.
  22. Even better do what he should have done in June and resign.
  23. Got Bristol City coming up at home, given our record against them and poor start, can see the same scoreline.
  24. Going for the Bristol City and Wolves feats of the 1980s. They both had the excuse of being in receivership though.
