I agree with DT!

Would like to think so... can't think of any other reason why they would post such a cryptic message...? p.s. I love his jumper / cardigan... when do I get one of those from?!

Ralph's win rate in 2020 was 47%... ... oops, sorry, I keep forgetting calendar year stats are "meaningless".... ignore me.... my bad....

Praise the Lord!

Don't need a poll... I can exclusively reveal that it's me! #proudpedant (That said, the act of correcting a figure of 70% that in reality is 1.42% is an interesting interpretation of the word 'pedantry'... Seems like quite a significant difference to me but, not being one of the forum's self-appointed intelligentsia, what do I know...? ) P.s. I hear Bank of England interest rates went up by 56% yesterday. Jeepers, nobody saw that coming.

I wonder what the remaining 97.8% think...?

There are 12,719 SaintsWeb members and 181 of them voted for Ralph to go. According to my O-Level maths that's 1.42%....

Is your name Andy per chance....?

Whichever option is closest to my current position, which is: "Currently undecided. Let's see where we are cometh the World Cup. If we're comfortably around mid-table, I would probably lean towards sticking with him a bit longer but, equally, I wouldn't be unhappy if the board decided the time was right for change. However, if we're struggling around the bottom third of the table cometh the World Cup then I'd definitely be in the 'time for a change' camp"

Aye, that too

He's turned things around in phases before, so why would it be surprising if he did it again? Whilst I'm having doubts about Ralph's overall capabilities, and wouldn't be against a change of manager during this season if that's how it pans out, I don't think it's beyond belief that he may go through a similar purple patch to that which we experienced last season that saw us hit top 6 form for three consecutive months, and seeing us safe in February, after a below par start. Basically, I'm inclined to keep an open mind on such matters rather than conclude the season is bound to go one way or t'other after 7 games.

I was holding it together until they showed her pets... 😥

Still working on the cynicism gold medal....?

"Analysing calendar years is pointless" (c) Saintsweb Intelligentsia 2020

Loaning academy players out for "work experience". Not heard of that happening before. Is this a new initiative or have I just been blissfully ignorant over the years...?

"Trialist scored a screamer" Get him on the bus!

Stu was pretty much the first player on Ralph's team sheet in our halcyon year of 2020, and there was that curious long running stat where we never lost when he played. I wonder why he's now seemingly out of favour? (I know I keep mentioning this but he never seemed the same after that bout of covid he had....)

That goes without saying. We were never going to get to the end of the Universe without Saints and Pompey being in the same league again at some point.

Poor performance. Difficult to continue to give Ralph the benefit of the doubt if this is the benchmark for the rest of the season. We obviously missed Lavia, and his natural replacement AMN (who I assume was ill/injured?) I'm not quite at the point where I'd be calling for Ralph to go, but, by the same token I wouldn't be disappointed if the owners decided to replace him over the international break.

As always, I bow to your wisdom on such matters

😂

More solid than we were when conceding 4 goals Vs Spurs. Good question though, I'll give you that, oh wise one. #buffoon
