The Kraken

Tactically inept cabbage head would be a decent forum name.

Well Steve Bruce has been let go, so we’ll see soon enough if Howe is his replacement.

Yeah, i rewatched the BBC interview which is the one that your quote came from I think, no worries with that one. Just the extra quotes I found (not sure who they were to) that will IMO land him in bother, like you say it suggests a bias from Dean given the history of his appalling decisions against us.

"I knew when Mike Dean was on the VAR that the referee would go and have a look at it," "I always have a bit of a problem when we know Mike Dean is on VAR because we don't have a good history with him, to be honest." I mean, both fair points, but yeah he’ll get done for that.

What are they doing with the Bargate development? I’ve looked online but aside from a few words about new flats, retails space and a linear park it’s a bit vague.

Being as the transfer window has SLAMMED SHUT I’m reasonably certain we won’t get anyone in before January, and I don’t think we will then either.

Dave happened. Absolute fucking loony. I haven’t posted on there for more than a year but it now seems to be dominated by a small handful of people who have literally nothing interesting to say at all.

I wouldn’t bother with UI to be honest, it’s genuinely rubbish these days. Sad to see, used to be decent.

Likely not the best team, but my favourite team. Tim Flowers Jason Dodd - Mark Wright - Virgil Van Dijk - Mark Dennis Steve Williams - Jimmy Case Rod Wallace - Matt le Tissier - Danny Wallace Alan Shearer

Out of interest……. say that this Lyanco fella had not had a mare on his first game, and had played well. If some on here made comments that he looked really good and that Saints could have unearthed a gem, would you have said “after one game? Fucking clueless!!”

Seems like similar figure to Lyanco, 7.5m euros

How much further do you think your benchmarks of acceptability can drop for a player who, according to some online sources, cost 6m plus? Personally I’d be disgusted with another Gardos.

Boosters were always likely. It was often said that we’ll likely never beat COVID but that it will be minimised like we do with flu and an annual injection. Of course the goalposts are constantly moving. It’s an ever changing and adapting virus.

Only if you need a wee and don’t go in the bag.

Evidence if ever there was that’s it’s time for an easyJet pricing structure.

Er, what?

Closing day of the season, wasn’t it?

I was on holiday in south of Spain with some pals a couple of years ago and we went to Gib for the day when Gib played Denmark, just watched the game from a bar. I would say 99% of the Denmark fans there were wearing colours. They got absolutely bladdered, caused zero trouble at all, and were great to just be amongst in the bars before the game. Great, great fans.

Not strictly true that, is it?

I’m not sure that the Chapel was ever the intention as being the main end. The family section is in the Chapel and, I believe, always has been. I remember the discussions that went on at the time on saintslist about where people were planning on going in the stadium and it seemed the push from the club was that the Northam would be the main end.

Knowing Saints we’ll put the standing area in the away end…

No, Dean said the ref should go and have a look at it on the monitor as he thought it was a foul, which he did and then overturned it. The comment about the player attempting to play the ball is the difference between yellow card, which was awarded, and red card which is given when there is deemed to be no genuine attempt to play the ball.

Yep. He looks like a good player a lot of the time, then just loses composure far too often. Before this season started it was almost unanimous on here that would be a huge mistake if Stephens was a starting CB. That seems to be shifting to a growing number on here saying “he looks like he’s improved”. He’s just not good enough to be a starting CB for a prem side with any sort of ambition, and he’s a complete mile away in quality from some of the CBs we’ve had in the past ten years.

I don’t think anyone has said it’s important. It’s simply another statistic that helps depict a football game.

And if you haven’t been able to watch the game? Not sure why it’s such a problem. It’s just another stat to sit alongside shots on target,,possession etc to help describe the game in a short summary.
