The Kraken

Absolutely 👍

He’s been very neat and tidy imo, I think he’s been one of our better players.

Worst player on the pitch so far.

It’s a bit annoying but tbf Alexander-Arnold is a mouthful and TAA doesn’t work in the same way that JWP does.

Janny B with the assist there 😬

I don’t think there’s any slogan they could have successfully campaigned on. That said it’s absolutely remarkable just how bad they’ve been seen announcing the election, just an absolute cataclysm of poor decisions and the party is more toxic than it’s ever been.

Poor slogan work this time round has done for them. “Labour haven’t got a plan” simply isn’t catchy enough.

Personally, I’m glad there’s a soccer tourno on this summer.

Yeah totally, that was part of my point. You can sign “experience” but if they’re not a player who is good enough to displace what you’ve already got, it’s meaningless. Id love us to get a spine of decent PL proven players but if they’re not rightfully going to start every game above what we’ve got then don’t bother. Lallana seems, at best, to be a nice-to-have rather than a need-to-have. And for the pedantic point, he may have a champions league medal but he didn’t play in the final and featured in only 3 CL games all season. He also started 5 league games for them that season. Its not like he was a mainstay, he made up the numbers. Good player, but all this “he’s won medals” from certain posters is nonsense.

Literally a soggy wet dream in north Islington, one useless bellend holding up an umbrella for a complete cunt.

I don’t think anyone sensible would disagree with the notion of signing a few proven older heads. Lawrie made his name by it and it’s definitely something we need imo if we are to stay up. We’ve got some decent PL experience already in our squad but I think the spine would absolutely benefit from a few older heads who will start and play most games. Personally I don’t see the big attraction in Lallana unless he’s come very cheap (and I doubt he has). I’d hope we’ve got enough big personalities in the squad already for the off pitch support he’s supposed to be bringing. On it, just don’t think he’ll be on the pitch enough to be a huge driving force. Whatever. Hopefully he’ll be a benefit but I’m not expecting much.

At least it’s only a 1 year deal.

I’d be interested to hear what wages he is actually on. I believe Theo was £75k a week when he came, which wasn’t exactly money well spent for a “free” transfer. If Lallana is looking for a way into coaching then one would hope the wage is considerably lower than that of a regular first teamer so that it doesn’t detract from our financial ability to bring in other more key players.

Still got crisp packet wrists then.

Fairly sure one of the Charlie Wayman posting brigade declared angrily on here a year or so ago that they’d never foot inside St Mary’s while Sport Republic are in charge 🧐

The heating has gone on in this house, it dropped below 17 degrees. It’s mid June ffs. The heating has been off since the end of March.

Ideally I'd love to see a Leicester-type plan for expansion (I know Leicester aren't doing theirs but they got permission). Would take capacity up to around 40K which I think we could sell out for the top games. Middle and lower ranked games wouldn't get up to that, but that's just something you have to accept. What I wouldn't want is to a Cardiff, which is a similar thing but looks absolutely dreadful.

@BERMUDASAINT, has the sun gone to your head?

Streeting is certainly very important to Labour. Very good on panel shows and when getting grilled, he’s often right on top of his brief.

We’ll have a better idea on 1st July, that the deadline for existing ST holders to renew. After that, any non renewed season tickets will become available. The club may have chosen to hold back some seats in certain blocks. No idea if they have or haven’t, and likely won’t be able to see how many “available” seats there until the first home match tickets go on sale.

I think the fact we have to let in up to 3,000 away supporters says, er, no. Discount those plus the corporates, guest tickets, boxes etc, it certainly appears sales have gone extremely well.

It takes one to know one lol rofl

I’m guessing this wasn’t the BBC News headline he was hoping for, the dopey twat 🤣

I think I’m right in saying that the deadline for announcing candidates was last Friday. So candidates could be switched up to that point, but now we’ve gone beyond it they’re locked in.
