Curtains for Nigel.

Yet more delicious irony.

My worry is we will be so screwed by the window, we won't be able to attract any decent defenders.

When did any Saint? Agenda?

The ones we have could be drilled far better ?

There is an irony in there somewhere.

SSN say we are joint record goal shippers at this stage of season ever in premiership.

Don't think Cortese will tolerate this stuff much longer.

So, we have 3 poor keepers?

Shocking, positively shocking. But not perhaps surprising given the dynamic that we are independently wealthy through legacy, boosted by SKy, and not particularly paying-customer dependent for revenue. They should take example from the Emirates corporate boxes. Superb environment, food and service (only the football lets it down!).

Presumably MLT doesn't say specifics for fear of being sued for slander/defamation/libel.

But will he have the resolution to cope under the microscope of the Premiership? A league which he will only have viewed through the distorting prism of satellite television?

I blame the parents.

The dead legs we all got at school were blows that temporarily paralysed a major nerve innervating the leg, but the Gaston injury sounds more like a large muscle compartment pressurised haematoma that they had to operate on to release the pressure.

It is not, in my judgement, a sign of over indulgent parenting to point out that we are not yet even having a consistently successful crack at the small or medium sized sharks in this division, to borrow the OP's analogy.

I am afraid I agree Canada, although was pilloried for making a similar observation earlier.

The fu king paediatrician deserved it!

No one likes an empty seat, except a harassed commuter.

Is it half-term already?

Not in a Jurassic time-frame will NC appoint a dinosaur.

I think with hindsight that these were indeed the warning signs that we would have the torrid time this season unless we shored up the defence.

They would say that wouldn't they? I am behind them, but not duped by PR guff on the official site and carefully chosen, on-message player interviewees.

No. Not unless we implode completely and he loses all authority. We may even have to be relegated and retain him.

You need to understand that whining is enjoyable, and an integral part of the rollercoaster ride that is supporting Saints.

There is something missing in the general spirit of the squad this season, all is not happy. NA is beginning to take on a haunted, dead man walking countenance.
