The Kraken

Crock Ness Drogba confirmed as properly crocked. Some tools set to replace him.

Yet again you come out with a simplistic phrase, “the likely suspects” this time, but nothing specific. It’s genuinely weird that you’re trying to identify a bunch of people you want to argue against but won’t provide specifics of who they actually are. If you’re trying to align yourself alongside drunk John then good for you, but at least try and outline exact who and what you’re arguing against, as you and him are clearly terrible at doing it.

As egg asked…..who? Rather than doing your thing of randomly generalising, who in particular are you referring to?

I love it how you have to polarise opinions to the nth degree just to try and make your point. It’s really quite a childish trait yet you just can’t stop doing it. There are so many different, diverse opinions on here yet you have to make silly statements like “this place is to go into meltdown” as if it’s a single hive mind. Whereas in fact most people will just be thankful when the war finally stops, however it happens.

Most people understand that, some don’t. And tbf that post contained the line “If British police cannot guarantee the safety of Jewish and Israeli fans at a football match, what does that say about the state of policing and public order in this country?”, so I don’t think that particular accusation is valid in this instance, whatever the overall sentiment.

I feel so foolish. I assumed an intellectual colossus would only make one mistake in a short riposte. How wrong I was. Lesson learnt.

Nic very much reminds me of a chap who used to post on the UI. Let’s call him “Dave”, for arguments sake. Dave was a clearly disturbed chap but used to get his kicks from having e-feuds on the internet every day. This would lead to Dave getting himself b-anned every now and again, but he’d show up soon after with a new login and just carry on with the same old nonsense. What makes him and Nic so similar is that they are both quite clearly not the brightest star in the sky, but they had a bizarre ambition of starting row after row and then crowing about how “right” they were, how they “won” every argument they entered. It’s a bizarrely sad life but the parallels between them are stark. Bangers and Nic, 2 peas from the same pod.

Too. Not ‘to’. Gotcha, little one.

Very true. And besides, fans will always have a bit more patience with a home grown lad who has come through the academy rather than a dud who cost millions from Germany.

I always remember, I played in a charity golf day shortly after Dave Jones was appointed / Paul Jones was signed and MLT did a brief Q&A session. He was asked about the keeper situation and he said the players were all very surprised about the news as they all thought they already had a very good goalkeeper.

Reach for the stars.

We’re saying the same thing anyway. He wasn’t going to get a chance here, but looks like he’s hit the ground running. Which is brilliant given that, at only 20, he’s already a year behind given his horrendous injury. All Saints fans will wish him well and watch his progress with interest I’m sure. Good luck to him, just sorry we couldnt give him the avenue he needed.

He’s 20 years old. Harsh to say he’s unproven at any level at that age. I’m sure there were various reasons why he left, and his path to first team wasn’t there. Hopefully the lad proves people wrong, especially after what he’s been through.

Good

Yeah I watched that, he really has got a lot of resentment for his days at Saints. Thought he said something like were the first result he looks for, to see if we lost. I have no feelings to the geezer either way but thought it was a pretty spiteful way to come across. No idea what actually happened but he definitely still has an enormous amount of ill will inside him for the club.

What a joy to be around.

Who cares if he gets a gold medal around his neck if it stops the killings. Couldn’t give a fuck. Give him three medals if it makes it happen quicker.

Josh Lewsey on Matt Roger’s I think. Tackled him so hard he bust some ribs.

I don’t know why that “masterclass” gets so much credit. It’s really nothing groundbreaking at all.

But is it?

Exactly this, even Will Still doesn’t know what a Will Still side is. Shambles so far. 2 full backs bought in the summer, on the bench instead of Ryan Fraser. Azaz one of the top scorers/assisters last season, on the bench. The right call but the guy you made skipper, not playing again. Leo playing great and hooked. Ryan Manning also needs to fuck off until he can fuck off no further. 2 important goals from a full back don’t mask what a clown he is when is comes to actual defending. Still out.

Exactly. He’s not a hold up striker by any means whatsoever, we wants to run off the defenders’ shoulder. Not saying he’s any good at that, but he certainly isn’t a target man.

The Will Still experiment is extremely uninspiring.

If you fancy a drink but get put off by the big queue in the bar, go to the cafe next door to it. They’ve got Cruzcampo on draught.

🤣 how low are your benchmarks ffs 🤣
