Playing against a moonlighting Lee Probert?

Think this has already been priced in though? The deatherendum date was calculated by mapping the percentage vote of the various demographics as voted for in 2016, onto the population as it stands now. It is counter-intuitive, we do have an ageing population over-all but the actual numbers in each cohort are such that we have just passed that tipping point. Go figure, maths and stats do funny things, not sure I've explained it very well but it makes sense to me.

I've got a picture of a fish playing golf in a Nairobi hotel room, yours for GBP50. Leics 2 Saints 1 lump on now.

20m pound of improvements just limped off.

Not really, massive step fd for us tonight. We will take loads from this whatever the final score.

#momentum It's the right team for me, knock over a bare-bones WHU, continue the winning stuff, squeeze one more game out of them for Sunday, the rest of the squad can then play the Chelsea and the FA cup game. Good tactics, pointless rotating tonight and giving WH a sniff ... I'm going for a solid 2-0 and a rare clean sheet (#kissofdeath)

So weak, so uninterested,so uncommitted. Only saw MOTD but we must have lost 3 or 4 50-50s, second best 3 or 4 times and pushed off the ball a couple of times ... all in about 3 minutes! Very hard to get our physical levels back to where they should be 'in-season' and right on top of the Xmas programme too. If we can magic up one decent CB and one decent striker in early Jan we might have a chance. We won't and we don't, get your insurance bets on now to pay for next season's ST in the championship.

And that's why we are we are. Where's the X factor? On a good day those players get a 7, often they are 4's and 5's. We need 3x 8's and 3x 7's 'every game' and we just haven't got those players.

Don't miss the Brunswick if real ale/real pubs is your thing.

Don't knock it, Poch's first game (0-0 at H v Everton), he played Saints on his own that night, one of the best oppo performances I've seen at SMS . Luckily Everton (Moyes?) hadn't at that time unlocked the level where Fellaini lopes fd and gets an 89th minute winner. Unfortunately for us that level is now well known, I'm sure we have plan.

Look fd to Boscombe passing the buckets round. Maybe if we go down twice they will let their yoof come on loan to us?

Does Kelvin still have Roy Keane's number? We'd still go down but the thought of our snowflake players being chased across the New Forest by Roy's dogs, thrown in the bath and punched out in the car park, while Roy pushes a whole stilton into Gao's face during contract negotiations, would make the whole R thing a bit more acceptable.

yep,forster,hoedt,moi,carillo, we must have burnt north of 40m on those four.

three defenders ball watching and Mitrovic helps himself, completely free header in the 6yd box

https://www.theguardian.com/football/who-scored-blog/2018/nov/22/premier-league-analysing-when-teams-score-their-goals Pretty damning on the preparation/fitness/mental-strength front. Black and green graphic at the bottom of the article. In terms of goals F and A in the first 30 mins of all PL matches this season only Fulham and Wolves have been poorer than us, in the middle 31 to 60 minutes we are almost normal (only 9th worst, although presumably the other team often has a lead by then!). In the final third of games 61-9o mins only Fulham are worse than us. Combine it with various other charts knocking about which show us as having had 'easier' fixtures than some others and it doesn't look good, for Hughes or for us!

There is no ‘evidence’ either way, we haven’t actually secured cheaper shoes/food/clothing yet but don’t let that deter you, everybody to the English barricades to fight for cheap rubbish food and cheap sweatshop clothing and damn that Johnny Foreigner too. On the other hand I’m pretty sure our new uber lords aren’t in it to increase the share of the futurist unicorn cake going to ordinary people (they don’t believe in that), nor to improve public services (they openly don’t believe in them), nor to increase environmental standards (they don’t believe in those either). I know it was a while ago that you were in the fourth-form Les (it's a bit of a giveaway really, that terminology went out of use 30 years ago) but were you away when they did reading the writing on the wall?

Not entirely sure cheaper clothing, cheaper food and cheaper shoes will make up for poorer public services, lower wages/employment protection, reduced employment opportunities, possibly increased pollution and lower environmental standards? Guess we are going to find out over the next 50 years.

Quincy Promes on the telly box tonight, is he still a goer? Brilliant game last night SUI 5-2 Belgium. Loved those 5 officials with their synchronised hand clenches!

Extraordinary, you can leave tomorrow if you want, the EU aren't stopping anybody from leaving. Pay the money we owe, agree on how much for future payments we owe for projects/pensions we've already committed to and off we go. Hard border in Ireland, no frictionless free trade, 1m expats cast adrift and stateless in the EU, no idea what we would do with the EU citizens that happen to be here, probably keep the economically worthwhile ones and put the rest on trains. No agreement or deal on euratom, medicine testing, aviation but who needs those things. No security link-up or info sharing. We can start trading on WTO terms tomorrow, bend over and ask Trump what sort of deal he can do for us. Watch the money and the mobile pour out of the country. Watch the collapse of the NHS and care sector due to huge staff shortages, watch food rot in the fields without anybody to pick it. The EU aren't stopping us doing any of these things, if it's the will of the people then why the hell aren't we just getting on with it?

Is Brexit still red, white and blue?

Privatise the profits and socialise the losses? That'll never catch on.

Unfortunate name too.

Operation stack refers to outbound traffic!

Look forward to Hughes rolling out his radical 2-3-2-3 formation on Saturday (2 that can't mark, 3 that can't tackle, 2 that can't create and 3 that can't score). Not sure we could beat Watford with a 5-5-5 formation.
