Would anyone welcome Ralph back now? No great secret that I was a big fan in his first couple of seasons here, but I ended up falling out of love with him in the end... His time was done... But, given the last few managerial appointments maybe, just maybe, we can start to appreciate how decent he was relative to what's followed? After his rest from the game, would a rejuvenated Ralph be an option now...? #devilsadvocate

Will sticking with a manager with a mediocre track record "sort it, definitely"...?

Us facing Middlesbrough in our next game is about as Saintsy as it gets... A team struggling for their first win of the season... "Would you like that gift wrapped sir...?,"

You won't get any disagreement from me on that score as things stand 👍

The thing is, we have a track record of turning half decent players into poor players... Manning may well have turned out as a decent player for a bottom half team in the PL, regardless of how he performs for us...

I'm sensing you might not be too happy with the way things are going at the moment... Am I warm...? 😂

Be even worse than us? (Unless they win their game in hand of course... )

I can't help thinking that if, hypothetically, a Pompey fan infiltrated our club and set about masterminding our downfall, how that would look any different to what's happening under Sport Republic? Genuine observation/question... (Call me Mr Paranoid...)

Regular viewers will acknowledge that I've always been one of the more pragmatic benefit-of-the-doubt brigade, but not this time I'm afraid... It's "Martin Out" for me... I've seen enough... In fact, I've seen far too much...

What's happening in the game guys? Doesn't sound like we've had a single decent effort on goal this half yet?

Our players have been half hearted for several seasons now...

Tempting, but I might get some strange looks in this Croatian bar... There again, they're usually more liberal this Continental European lot...

I accepted JWP's departure because I want him to get back into the England fold, ergo he had to stay in the PL, but needlessly letting Tella go will turn out to be the worse decision of the transfer window IMO. The one proven scorer at this level in our squad and we let him go without a fight. Bonkers.

Been too busy enjoying myself! Having fallen in love with the place, defo a destination I'll be returning to. živjeli!

To be slightly fair, AA's best games have been when he's playing deeper rather than as a striker.

Sadist

PSG vs Dortmund on in the bar here in Croatia. Small mercies...

Baffling indeed

Just checked the TV listings here in Croatia and the only Championship game they're showing tonight is Sheff Wed Vs Middlesbrough... Result! The thought of having to sit in a bar here watching us play again was filling me with dread!

P.s. what do you call a man with a pile of leaves on his head?

Some heartening 'Russell' news just for balance... https://paradepets.com/pet-news/jack-russell-kittens

There were a couple of times in that press conference that I said to myself "Jones would have said something along those lines"... Don't think he's at Jones' levels of madness though.... Not yet anyway....

Yep... He seems to think if he slaps a "...but I don't blame the fans... Their negative reaction is completely understandable" at the end of every paragraph then we won't notice his thinly veiled pops at the fans... Unlucky Mr Martin, there's a few fans that are clever enough to spot it...
