I am sick of reading ‘on paper we have a quality squad’. I would rather we had the, ‘on paper’, worst squad in the league but one that showed a will to win, an ability to put a shift in, work their gonads off and not let their heads drop when there’s a fight to be had. I see it week after week in other championship teams, so called lesser players giving everything for the badge…..our lot just seem to be paper tigers atm, when they need to show what they’re made of they can’t, or won’t.

TBF took a Nick off TBH on its way. Think Banzunu might have got there apart from that.

Standing on some sort of box down at the front at the Dell, nose just about at pitch level, watching Terry Paine and John Sydenham belting up and down the wings, the smell of the wintergreen ointment wafting through the air.

This, exactly.

As we hurry to the centre line to take the kickoff after the opposing team has scored a goal due to our pissing around at the back.

That's this week. Next week when the decision goes in our favour...

Watching it with the sound off now, that Scottish bloke is really pissing me off

Who's the West Brom fan doing the co-commentating?

He appears to have heard me...

Question of the day... will Aribo touch the ball in this game?

Yep, if ever there was a thread proving how expert in everything football supporters are, this is it. Psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, career guidance experts, we’ve got the lot.

Well there you go then.

Has the interim manager whatshhisname definitely been discounted even if he scrapes a couple of wins?

I was brought up not to swear. Fuck. Right. Off.

If it’s in the Sun it must be true….

Baggage handler, he comes with a lot of it.

According to the Sun apparently on list for Luton job.

On this forum we often, quite rightly, express our displeasure and anger in the strongest of terms at various personalities within our club. I would like to do the opposite here and extend empathy and much love to Dylan Moody, our U18 goalkeeper, whose family have just received the absolutely devastating news that their father, husband and son Lewis Moody, the ex England rugby player, has been diagnosed with MND, the terrifying disease which took the lives of Doddie Weir and Rob Burrows amongst others. I wish them peace at this time and hope that the club put their arm around Dylan and support him in every way possible.

If....

Digressing I wonder if Ramsdale ever has second thoughts about going to Newcastle…as far as I can see he has one friendly appearance under his belt there. Surely it would have been better to stay here, have some stellar performances, actually, well, play?

I did find it quite amusing that he was asked the question was he going to resign.... you could see the pound signs light up in his eyes as he said no.

On current form, both Saints and West Ham, we could be seeing Fernandes, KWP and JWP back at Saint Mary's next season.

Would it not also be fair to say that a percentage of footballers aren’t the sharpest tools in the box, have a lot of money at a ridiculously young age and so are easy prey for whatever predators are hanging around them
