The Kraken

Do we know what religion the dog was?

One of my least favourite shirt designs that one, thought it looked really naff.

I don’t think we should be speculating at this stage

Sheffield United conceded 104 last season.

Tbf the club did the next best thing and appointed someone in a very short term contract. When we appointed Selles it was pretty much “well it’s February and we’re down, let put a cheapo in place and plan for next season”. Juric was appointed before Christmas so a bit more chance to turn some things around. Sadly he’s proving himself wildly inferior to Ruben Selles, and he certainly doesn’t have the boyish good looks or stylish roll necks to give him a +1 in the fashion department. Heavy metal football my arse. This guy is just a massive lead weight.

I don’t think I can bring myself to watch it.

Just the 3 centre backs on the bench.

Of course he is. Not even in doubt. I actually really like JWP and couldn’t give a flying fig about his Pompey connection. But that clip of him getting undone by a goalkeeper is funny, no matter how much an overly sensitive prickly moron stamps his feet about it being shown.

I watched that earlier, it’s shameful really!

I’ve read that twice and I’m not sure you even know what you’re arguing against any more, apart from the fact that you think you need to. Have another drink fella. I’m off to bed.

Down with football fans cheering one of their players onto the pitch.

Christ, you’re really going out of your way to disagree with me now! We were in the relegation zone and because a teenager got injured, that swung it! Bore off lighthouse you prat.

It happens. Plenty of people still say we should’ve never have gotten rid of Ralph. I love Ralph, he was brilliant for us, but he was done with us when he left. Some fault of his, lots due to the club (appoint Selles because they said so, limited transfer inclusion that summer etc). The fault wasn’t getting rid of Ralph in itself, it was what happened after. Same as Martin. We left it far too late to get rid of him, then replaced him with someone who was no better at all. In hindsight, just as well have done the Selles thing and appointed Rusk to the end of the season.

Two of them started on the bench today, so they were both available. The other bit, perhaps debatable.

I keep hearing this but haven’t seen anything to suggest it’s true. It’s a bit like the nonsense of Dan Seabourne being a front sweeper. His wiki page says his brother is a keeper too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Bazunu

It doesn’t, does it? I can’t say I’ve ever noticed. Don’t ever change MLG. Your obstinance is part of the forum furniture.

We’ll agree to disagree. I saw a positive upturn in performances in Juric’s earlier games. Like I said, a small improvement on Martin but an upturn nonetheless. You disagree, good for you.

We did. He took over a side that were 0-5 at half time at home and could have lost by much more. That was a low point. We got a bit better than that in the short term. nobody got excited about anything. Its tiny margins of shitness and both manager will prove to be a disaster for us, so it’s moot anyway.

No. These twats we’re at an extreme low and getting worse when Martin was in his last throes. The 0-5 to halftime against Spurs showed exactly where life under Martin with this lot was headed. Juric has simply carried that onwards, we got a bit better at first then promptly reverted to type.

6 at the back with 4 full backs 😍

🤣 I thought exactly this tbf. A very upset individual.

I blame you for being lapse in checking. Tsk.

Not so long ago we had a prime Virgil and Toby Alderweireld / Jose Fonte at centre back. The comparison is………stark.
