ABK ruined Lucy, Russ’s “bravery” isn’t enough for her anymore.

That would be great for morale. I think Tall Paul would score a few given more opportunities.

Christ, what would that side do to Russel’s boys!

I think you’re spot on, depressing as it is. Rasmus has been true to his philosophy, I wasn’t broken, in a saints sense, but now I am. Mission accomplished!

Maybe he thinks it’s an opportunity to win and build confidence? Of course it could go complete other way.

Well Farmer, it’s a very courageous first step your “friend” has made by asking this question. Tell your friend that it’s ok, gender is fluid and they can be whatever they want to be and no one can judge them for it. Plus they will find great support networks are available. when your friend accepts this, you , or they, or them may find you are a lot less angry about life generally.

Unnecessarily spiteful old chap.

He shot Bambi’s mum?? What a bastard, I didn’t think even he could stoop that low , and… what sort of vegan kills innocent animals?

Why bother meaning it if you don’t think it? Think about that grasshopper!

He won’t need to find another job, he will never need to work again after winning tile Rasmus lottery.

Phew, we wouldn’t want Pep poaching Russ’s secret weapon in January. Best keep him concealed from the big gun predators!

“Shit” substitutions are costing us points.

Good player, but he’s as much of a croc as Stewart. If that were the case you’d assume TP is off?

Heard Rasmus is keen on this guy, I don't know too much about him but he sounds just the ticket

He’ll go to the treatment room to shake Smallbone’s hand.

Well it just goes to show you, wishing wells are a con!

It’s just not funny. It’s emblematic of the “post truth era” we are now in, something that is so obviously wrong to a rational person is deemed right and just by the elite and all dissent is denied, discredited and ridiculed.

I'd do anything we have to do to stay in the premier league. We are here, and we should throw everything at it to stay here. Its possible we don't get back in a generation. There are clubs that were / are at least as big as us, if not bigger that are bumping around the championship and league one. If i was in a position of power I'd bin off SR, I'd would get rid of Martin, or at the very least get someone in above him who knows what they are doing, and he has to answer to (caveat: I think he's way to full of himself to go for that). Ideally get New manager, someone like Moyes, give him control over all football matters, no more theory, just pragmatism, consolidate and build from there.

The days when we had a mix of old war dogs and youth were the best days. I really haven’t enjoyed the recent tendency towards buying young characterless players in the hope of flipping them for big bucks. Having lallana in the team is a bit of a throwback, if only he was used more.

He is a very young manager, and that is the biggest mitigating factor for his continuing errors. But that makes it even harder to understand the decision to give him so much apparent autonomy over the footballing side of the business.

that's what I was getting at, it is often repeated that Dragan has put his hand in his pocket, or words to that effect. With my limited knowledge of big business, people rarely risk there own personal capital.

Does he? I’d love to know where the money is coming from and what we will be left with when they go. It was only a couple of weeks ago there was talk of loans having been secured on SMS and Staplewood.

I don’t think it can get any worse than achieving 1/8th of a point per game.

I’d prefer to ditch him, but if you were bringing in someone it would have to be above him, someone who would have authority over him.

How can a defensive coach be effective if he has to coach within the constraints of Martin’s footballing ideology?
