Golac's Cunning Stunts

He is better than the cack we currently have!

Ties in with the vibes given off by Ralph at the fan's forum yesterday for sure.

Yep exactly this. It was almost like he knew the negativity was justified and he is out of ideas and doesn't have a credible answer to it..

Sorry but Ralph never had to face I agree. Ralph looked very defensive and if you look at his eyes, he has been taking some shit I would suggest. Didn't like the other two guys - just politician talk, not answering or allowing the hard questions.

Is it something to do with grass not growing on well beaten paths? 🙂 If not, do tell, I could do with a laugh and the mods round here are non existent compared to the old days

What else do we want? What a stupid question. off the top of my head - to win more than 1 game in 13 to have a manager who doesn't make ridiculous team selections to have a manager who makes sensible in-game tactical adjustments To have a team that doesn't concede so many goals and to not always be worried the team are going to ship an embarrassing shed load of goals to have a flexible manager who is able to set the team up for success according to the opponents we are playing to start enjoying being a saints fan again

Ralph will soon set him straight

ballball was some of the best football I ever saw saints play...at least when Alan was on th field playing it 🙂

I agree a lot of that is Pony. Regarding Ralph - I don't think for one minute he is deliberately throwing matches. I think he is so lost and clueless how to turn things round that it just appears that way. Personally, I think part of the problem stems from all the drubbings and sizeable losses he has had during his tenure. He's now scared to deploy full Ralphball any more and we end up with a halfway house of ralphball paired with Southgateball. Difference being, England have far better players to play 3 at the back etc

How people can defend the muppet with stats like that is beyond me

Just what mlg loves. I think the saying is don't wrestle a pig, you get dirty and the pig likes it

I think we would actually be better with no manager than with our current clown. I reckon the players would do a better job sorting out the tactics amongst themselves!

Still thinking Valery is looking very good? And Bednarek not as bad as last year? And expecting our clown manager to change his tactics?

yep agreed. Lyanco would be a liability

Wouldn't it also have FFP implications? Not to mention being lumbered with a massively high earner and not being able to bring in others because of it

This isn't a negative post, but genuinely interested - which teams do you think are definitely worse than us? Bompey, Fulham... then there are a bundle of clubs who look to be about our level. We'll see how Forest do. They might do fairly well (ie finish above bottom 3). Perhaps Brighton and Palace might not do as well as last season... interested in how you think we match up with these clubs as those are the ones we will be fighting for survival

hmm I think it's pushing things a little far to say Valery looked 'very good' He gets caught wrong side too much for my liking Remind me who was responsible for the late season tactics you describe as gung ho and half arsed? I believe that man is still in charge... I hope we're not looking at finishing fourth bottom as optimistic 🙂

me too

If you do the fantasy football, load up on spurs players I reckon

Get the excuses in early mate

If you only got nuance, sarcasm, the idea that nothing in the world is black or white but shades in between, this forum would be a better place

That does sound painful!

Someone on the game thread was saying he is a very good centre back. He isn't. And you're right - he gets wrong side a lot and that will get punished in the prem.

What, having a run out in a friendly is going to overload them? meh
