Yep, no foul IMO

I've given Ralph and the players the benefit of the doubt the last couple of months but starting to question my faith somewhat now

If Calvert-Lewin goes down like that in the box, VAR would overrule the penalty. Joke decision

Play Djenepo at RB, Jankewitz on for Bednarek and push Armstrong back up to AM.

Hopefully the opposite of our usual half times... The ones where we play well 🙂 n the first 45 mins and shite in the second

Why can't professional footballers get something as simple as passing the ball to a team mate right? You wouldn't get on a plane if the pilot was equally unprofessional

Only 9 more to go to beat that...

Funny you should say that...

Catlin: "Wah wah wah.... We can't get anyone else to pay for upgrading our decrepit ground... It's so unfair... Wah wah wah" The current football club playing at Fratton Park is barely 10 years old, but it's still the same old Pompey... Looking to spaff other people's money up the wall

And keeps Wolves just 3 points ahead of us having played a game more #SWFselectivefacts

Prior to this pandemic, do we know what the 'acceptable' average daily death rates were for other viruses, influenza for example? One would imagine that would be the sort of 'normality' benchmark they'll be aiming for?

Did you watch the first half per chance....?

Does he also have any news on whether or not the Pope is a Catholic?

You make reasonable points sir, and I bow to your insightfulness. I sometimes allow my lack of intelligence to get the better of me and for that I humbly apologise.

Blimey. Stats don't get much more clear cut than that, do they? I guess in a perverse kinda way it highlights how good Ralph is at preparing for games when he gets the opportunity to do so. Underlines that his whole strategy is based on meticulous preparation, which he has been ill-afforded this season. Helps explain why we did so well in 2020. A beacon of hope there for next season once match frequency returns to 'normal'...?

Fair points 👍

Apologies your lordship. I shall hence forth desist with my thinking out loud on an internet football forum. Please forgive me sire.

Dear noble ladies and gentlemen of the Saintsweb forum, May I be so bold to ascertain that the main factor behind our Jeckyll and Hyde performances this season is Kyle Walker-Peters? Exhibit A m'lud... Games played = 19 Points = 29 Points per game = 1.53 Games not played = 6 Points = 1 Points per game = 0.17 Our shape definitely goes to pot when he doesn't play... In the words of Huey Lewis, is it as simple as that?

Is it me or does a decline in Bertrand's esprit de corps always coincide with a dip in the team's form? Chicken or Egg though...?

I don't recall (m)any posts about that in November, but quite likely my memory is playing tricks on me. Fair play to those that knew that things would go tits up whilst we were still making hay earlier in the season.

That's a fair point, but I don't recall anyone stating in November, when we were flying high, that the wheels would inevitably come off the wagon. If Ralph's style/tactics was so obviously workable in the short term but would unravel in the medium-to-longer term, why did so few, if any, people forewarn us of the inevitable on here back in November...?

Fair analysis FF

Dunno. Baffling.
