I'm sure some are, but I'm equally sure a lot aren't. The problem is they grow up in such a cosseted, artificial world and if they are even moderately successful get to lead a fantasy life. I don't fixate too much on what other people have and haven't got, but it really sticks in my throat when they start lecturing / signalling about social issues they think are important, when for the most part, the people who pay their wages are more concerned with just getting by. It always struck me that players that became successful later in life, having experience a bit of reality along the way, are much more grounded and personable.

I do so hope they issue us rainbow coloured clackers, this will really help to get the party started!

I’ve composed a song for Selles, when I have another 30 seconds I intend to do one for Rambo Wankerson. to the tune of “we’ve got Selles” A 1-2- a 1-2-3-4 🎶 Reuben Selles Reuben Selles we just don’t think you understood y’were s’posed to keep us up you really fucked it up goodbye (or fuck of) Reuben Selles Should it be the Spotify global success I anticipate I will buy Haaland © toussaint 2023

Note to self: stay strong, don’t go to Forest, do not weaken, do not become delusional and think the great escape starts here. Stay home, do the garden, watch Heartbeat on BritBox, get an early night.

On a similar note, if a player is enduring a 300 year long goal drought it’s a certainty he’ll break it against us.

I though Lyanco was having a really solid game, AMN really weakened us today.

We had the first two shots on target, so could have been 2 - 0 up before we actually scored

I did, it was a fantastic effort first half. A couple of our better, but less regularly played players started to tire. Che probably needed to come on at half time. The subs were disastrous. I don’t know how to clap the players who busted a gut and withhold my applause from the useless ones and our dreadful manager.

I’m just glad Selles isn’t looking at the table, I’d just hate if he were to become distracted from his ideology due to perceived pressure. We March on!

I think a lot of people have stopped going, I see different faces around me every game now, a lot of our “more recent citizens” seem to be attending in their place.

I didn’t see the note, but I clearly saw AA’s WTF! moment

I just meant managers earn a phenomenal amount of money by most peoples standards, not that we’d pay someone exceptional money for a short term gig. A few weeks of being a premier league manager would set me nicely on my way.

Nevertheless I’d like to see an experienced manager have a go. The players are probably as ground down as we are having been managed by a succession of buffoons, deploying hopeless selections, formations and tactics.

Too late, hard drive is corrupted. Fatal error(s)

I’m going, seemed like a good idea at the time! Predicting nothing, expecting nothing other than a city break to somewhere I’d like to see.

Why not, relegation is a certainty. There is bound to be someone who feels they have been forgotten about, or fancies a challenge, there is potentially a long term gig if they do ok. And let’s not forget the phenomenal money they would earn, a small fortune by most of our standards in very short time.

I disagree, there are several scenarios where it could be an attractive opportunity for someone.

I think plenty of managers would take over. Taking over a basket case like us isn’t going to reflect badly on anyone, as there is zero expectation of survival now. A nice little earner, a chance to raise their profile should the slow the decline and god forbid be competitive in games. Get him out now, stuff his feelings or whether or not he is a “nice bloke”. He’s an absolute disaster. I wouldn’t worry about the compensation either, it’s chicken shit in the grand scheme of things.

Not a trick question, I can think of plenty of things we do, or have done, really poorly, too many to list. But can anyone think of anything that we do well, possibly things that other clubs may try to emulate. As an example, at one time we had an academy which was hailed by all in the game.

I've always held that belief.

I'd like it to happen, even if the chance of survival has passed a positive managerial change would probably improve the morale around the club and us defeated fans. We don't want to go into next season, in whichever league, on this sharp downward trajectory, IMO.

I had a whatsapp earlier and misread it, I thought he'd been sacked, now having read it properly he hasn't. My relief was short lived.

Funnily I said to my daughter last night that the absolutely useless Adam Armstrong would never have to work again, even if he stopped playing tomorrow, just for having spent a couple of years in the PL.

I accept he has his limitations, he isn't KDB, but we are shitty Saints, not Man City. I just find it strange that of all the limited players we have, and the ones that don't give a crap, and amongst all the other failings of our club, that he gets singled out for criticism, extremely harsh in my view.

*I think that is the role JWP has been given. When JWP played for England and there were eager runners everywhere he didn't have a problem playing forward. **Lavia has only been here one season (his one and only)
