Golac's Cunning Stunts

I don't see why? if it really is 250-1 it's well worth a small punt

that is actually worth a few quid

I'm hoping we ditch ralph in the summer mainly for the reasons you outline here. Yeah its always a risk to replace a manager but he says he is retiring season after next so really why wouldn't we get rid on that basis alone?

He has a weird obsession with Eddie Howe, Villa and Ralph. The first 2 can do nothing right, the last can do nothing wrong. Anybody can pull out stats to support any argument they want to make. In reality Howe isn't as bad as TWar makes out and Ralph isn't as good.

I'll grant you it can't have harmed VVD to have RK managing at the time - one of the best defenders to play the game. Highly debatable to say the current clown would have helped him much - he would probably start playing him at LB 🙂 He was already immensely talented and was a £70m player in all but PL experience. We gave him the platform to prove his credentials and he took that opportunity and never looked back.

Serious question for you - why do you persist in defending RH? In all my time as a supporter I have never known a manager who has the propensity to deliver such embarrassing results every season and for long runs of losses. I don't think the squad is bad - how does he keep putting out sides lacking even in basic tactics and fight? Surely it is time to roll the dice and get somebody else in.

ralph = always a chance of a fucking embarrassment

you do know you're allowed not to follow him or read what he says if it makes you wet your panties right?

biblical is good - don't forget we already had Jesus as our right back a few years ago

Almost definitely they have - JWP and Livra

When I saw the title of this thread I immediately thought of Ballie. What a special special player he was. The influence he had on the Saints team, even in the twilight of his playing days was immense. All one touch, clever, quick, always thinking 2 passes ahead. Made football look very simple = definition of a man at the top of his trade. What I wouldn't give to see Ballie play again.

How can you leave The Kat off that list

You still holding to your theory that Villa are shit?

Wow I'm flabbergasted by that team. Most important game of the season and the muppet picks that team. We're not even playing 2 recognised centre backs. Fuck off Ralph - you obviously don't care about us fans

Talking of wearing a different kit, does anyone know why we played in white shirts v Cov in the last round?

You love your sarcasm don't you. To try and be clearer, the post I was replying to paints a really rosy picture of our ability to source a top quality striker. I am disagreeing with that picture. Fully understand all clubs will buy a dud at some stage. And I hope we will find a good solution especially with the takeover potentially adding some funds and some extra brainpower.

I get that things are working out well now with Broja. However, he is a one season loan deal. Our scouting identified Armstrong as the permanent replacement for Ings and that is not going well. Armstrong may still adapt and we may (probably were) forced into the choice through lack of funds. To say trust the club on finding a replacement is a bit too rosy picture for me.

2 random memories I have of Ceefax: 1. Trying to make a deal with God along the lines of "if saints score by the next refresh, I will do (random good thing) 2. I once "watched" a whole day's Ashes test from Australia through the night by watching the score refresh on Ceefax..Didn't want to disturb the mrs by having the radio on

I know it's non-Saints related but the biggest travesty of those two dominating the England midfield was Paul Scholes being overlooked

It's interesting. Money always talks and they now have shitloads. They will attract good players. I'll be interested how the scousers plan out their next few seasons as Salah and Mane start to age. Be interesting to see how they plan to replace Salah. I think fourth place is a realistic target. Spurs managed to break in there for a few seasons, Leicester did it. Not beyond possibility that Liverpool start to drop a bit - Arsenal and Man U are examples of it happening.

Odds of you getting reported do not reflect the likelihood this event happening. They reflect the amount of money placed by punters reading this thread and bookies trying to make as much money as possible. These odds do not reflect the likelihood of you getting reported in any way. Odds mean nothing.

you mean he's a good footballer 😃

Absolutely spot on! He should have it has his profile pic. Now, I wonder who the forum David Brent is...

and nobody will give a shit about that when they sign their multi million pound contracts

Beh’eddie Howe says its for football reasons, so all good!
