An absolutely dog shit one.

SPORS OUT

Be interesting to see how they get on in today's friendly (Rangers, that is). The team will be 'fatigued' so expect errors (RM gets the excuses in early now) but I'm sure there will be lots of cheese triangles.

Problem is Still has said he wants 'normal' people and JS is definitely on the normal(ly crap, normal -ly- ball-watching, normal[ly] losing his man) spectrum. I think we're stuck with him til the end of his contract when he can go to the MLS for a swansong (and still win nothing).

Stop when he did?

But we really want this level and the level above. Nothing I've seen of him suggests he'd do well if we got promoted.

Well you called that one right.

Saint Mary, Saint Francis, Saint Augustin, Saint Sammy, etc.

So as Wade said a while back: more 'experimentation' and a poor man's Edozie and the backroom staff is jobs for the boys. Lucky the league's poop.

Well as you know there's a lot of hot air out there. A lot of speculation which is pointless. If there has been so much interest in him surely one team must be able to afford his 'release' clause and would be willing to pay it. Everton paid us for Koeman, so they must have wanted him. For the early part of last season it would be quite obvious to state that a manager whose team was doing well would be the matter of interest. Then you just bandy names around until e.g. Rosenior signs a new contract then you go on. Gossip makes its own news.

Or you just believe stuff.

Top would be better though. A nice 16-0 to us to get us underway please.

Just give up.

Why? Were you unembarrassed when walking past Crate?

Me too, but I'm not you.

Er... Oh I cba to argue with the muppet.

And make all the people there homeless? Or just sell flats to more tourists? Neither seems good and long-term if you want people who are interested in SFC. As for shopping centres, how's the Bargate and East Street these days?

Uses both feet; good. Doesn't strike the ball cleanly. Defending in that league is jank.

Nah. And fewer facts.

How many years do we have to give him before we'll say "He'll be consistently average soon, just give him time"?

The quote was written by someone who knows about football rather than someone who doesn't and has access to the internet of course? Here's how things will go: DS speaks. Saints forum - oooh! We luv you. Season starts - we'll smash em and our team (who we've never heard of but they look good on youtube) will win the league. Then either: we're crap, doom and gloom, Still out. Or we'll win the league, VAR/referees/butterflies in foreign climes hate us. When we get promoted as champions: I told you so! Still for England, but only after we win the league. If we don't. Manager hasn't a clue. My dog could do better and it's from Poopey. Despair sets in. Players' faults are suddenly noticed and there is much talk of potential: 35 is still young and time to improve. Starve them to keep them hungry on their £50,000+ a week. Mercenaries (that bit is actually valid). Sack the board, etc. DS speaks. Saints forum - ooh! We luv you. (Repeat until the end of time). It's lovely to see what a fluff piece, the likes of which are trotted out all over the place all over the time, will do to those who are dare I say 'easy to please'. I wait with bated breath for the pre-season expectations. At least some will wait until we've signed players and seen them play a few times.

Just like BBD?

Potential? Too much Champ Manager.

Better off?

Expect him to do well there. Then. Celtic will still do better though: better manager and players.
