I fear the powers that be saw Stephens and Bednarek as fitting that description.

And this made the game last night exciting. That's the first time i've felt truly excited by how we have played for a very, very long time. F**k possession based styles, I want to see that.

Shades of Adkins doing the same at home v Utd in 2012.

Whenever I try to describe what it's like to support Saints, I think of games like this. It's something rotten in our club's DNA, play well..... await the collapse.

Tell me he wasn't about to take off Sulemana?

Glad to see us continuing as we finished the first half.

An acceptable first half. (Not getting ahead of myself, we've been here so many times before.)

This. We've always been utterly naive with how we approach these situations, just like us playing the kids during covid leaving us extremely vulnerable when our rivals just pleaded sickness and got postponements. The only time we tried anything remotely like this was the holding company nonsense Lowe tried before administration. We didn't get away with it....

Think i've shared this story before, but i'll share again. In my previous career I visited an NHS Hospital where they needed ideas to protect batteries from burning out due to wheelchair users incontinence. Their urine would short the terminals. I recommended a very simple fix, a waterproof aerosol spray that would cost pennies per wheelchair. I projected it would save them at least £12,000 per year. They declined the fix, on the basis that they would lose the saved money from their departmental budget for the next year. Just pathetic.

Last time they tried that we basically incinerated over £100m. So, damned if you do......

Oh Tyler..........

Another square peg in Martin's round holes. What a horrifying image.

So frustrating to see us behind, but this is infinitely better then anything else we have had all season.

The roof will surely come off if Tall Paul scores. He deserves it.

Tall Paul's control there. So good.

Well, not anymore. Instead West Ham are getting Areola out.

Brilliant save from Fabianski. It's coming for Tall Paul..... Got to be.

Not even annoyed at these chances not being taken. Just delighted to be making them!

So much better to watch already. Some intent shown at both ends of the pitch.

Perfectly put.

Finally!!!

No fight in Martin's interview. He knows that he's done.

The banner someone posted on here got some exposure. Good on the guys doing that.

Dibling trying to add a few mill to his asking price.

I think it's futile to judge the players bound to Martin's special brand of shite management.
