Matthew Le God

He went off injured vs Palace and did not train fully in the build-up to today's game.

If anything, I think Martin held them back in the Championship season. We should have done better. Those players aren't 'average' for the Championship. Take Armstrong for example... 2nd top scorer in the league playing on the right in most games.

Would you not be interested even if they gave us a promotion-chasing campaign?

At Premier League level, sure, but there are more potential clubs they can go to than just the Premier League.

They didn't struggle last time, so why would they next season? The struggle will come if we keep them after any new promotion.

Hardly controversial! We have a squad packed full of very good Championship players, who are completely out of depth in the Premier League.

Those two are not comparable. The Spurs player wasn't blocking Ramsdale's sightline and didn't make an attempt to play the ball.

Didn't gel this season!

Players don't deliberately want to get injured!

Why label him a 'cunt' or 'stealing a living'? He isn't deliberately getting injured!

Signing a player to replace Armstrong, who will be good enough to have an impact in the Premier League is significantly harder to do as a Championship club. The less risky option is to use players like Armstrong who are stand out players in the Championship and then sell them in the summer of 2026. It is what we should have done last summer, very few of the promotion squad should have stayed. We needed pretty much a complete overhaul of the squad bar Walker-Peters and Dibling. Gelling may have taken a while, but our issue has been player quality and manager tactics.

It might not be 3 centre backs. Might be 433 with Aribo in midfield. Onuachu went off injured vs Palace and missed training in the build up to the game today.

He was 2nd top scorer in the league we will be in next season playing on the right rather than centrally. Why would you not want him for next season? It is the season after a promotion he won't be good enough for, not next season.

Even though you were joking... you were right! On the bench today vs Spurs

Doesn't matter if we know or not. The key is if the man Sport Republic have in charge does!

Where did he 'literally' run away to?

I agree, I blame your primary school. See, I can do petty insults as well if I go to your level! A level you continue to return to year after year!

Grow up

1) I wasn't talking about this thread, I was talking about the stadium thread that was under discussion. Yet another dismal failure by you to comprehend! 2) It isn't a failure to get that job... when I didn't apply and have zero interest in the role.

Nonsense again from both of you. The thread is about naming conventions. None of those are the current name of the club. The whole point of the thread was the complete opposite of what you are now talking about. It was a suggestion to have more stadiums named in similar fashion to St Mary's, Vale Park and Villa Park and less named after the current team name. So yet again you've completely missed the point!

None of those are the actual team names word for word, so you have both missed the point of the suggestion in the thread. SI also made changes in stadium naming post this thread.

You are still doing the same them! Not responding to each rebuttal. I guess you are not even reading or understanding them, let alone commenting on them. Plus still waiting for a reason why you post confused emojis even for posts that are not even remotely controversial or confusing.

Trying reading them again, no numbering issue. I had edited out points and not renumbered. Strange you don't try to actually address any of the points! I wonder why that is!
