The Kraken

Two games abandoned in L1 today. Bolton because of a medical emergency in the stands, Reading cos their fans are going tennis ball nuts in protest at their owner.

Just flicked on to the Pompey game for a quick minute, the first thing the comms says “four minutes still to go here and the ground is almost empty apart from the away fans”. Lol.

What a great move.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

He joined Saints when he was 2?

Lovey finish.

That’s what we said in 2008/09 and look where that got us.

“You’re just attention seeking” says the divot who keeps submitting post after post in a thread clearly labelled “The Circle of Trust”. Dear oh lord. But I guess it’s ALWAYS been this way.

Please tell me that’s not true 🤣

5th place when Rooney took over, they’re now in 20th and their fans can’t stand him. The owners really dropped a bollock.

With Wayne Rooney’s Birmingham stinking it up they’ve got every chance.

Pretty sure they are doing that already, or close to it. They changed it to make it the broadcast lines rather than the 1 pixel calculation lines previously used from the crosshairs. Edit: not the feet obvs, which I do think is a good idea, but then thicker lines.

Martin on the ref and Edozie. Speaking after the match, Martin insisted: "It is a red card and we should have a penalty on Ryan Fraser as well. "It was one of the easiest games to manage as a referee and he made it quite difficult. I don't moan about referees at all but it's a really naughty challenge. "Refereeing is one of the hardest jobs in the world but I don't know. It's the same with Ryan Manning who gets fouled late as well." He added: "It was in the box but anywhere else on the pitch, it's a foul. It is difficult for the referee to see late so I am not a fan of chasing the referee for an answer. "It is a red card with VAR but it is really easy to say that - although, you don't know with VAR do you?" Asked about the condition of Edozie, who had scored three goals in his last five matches before the visit to Carrow Road, Martin admitted he does not know. Martin said: "His ankle has ballooned up but I can't give you any estimate, it would be a complete guess. We have a couple of down days now. "It has been relentless so I am looking forward to seeing my kids before they go back to school and the lads will have a couple of days off to relax."

Can’t win ‘em all. Didn’t enjoy the first half set up, looked much more solid second half. Their goal was weak and after sloppy play by us, tbf we always looked vulnerable on the break and we played into their hands. Not a bad result though. Hopefully Edozie’s injury was just an impact one and won’t be too serious.

Well it sorts the formation issue but that’s bloody harsh on Janny B if he’s not injured.

Really don’t like this formation. It turns into a 3 at the back and our wings just get massively exposed. Manning looks like he doesn’t understand the concept of playing left back. Also don’t think the positional switch suits KWP, it nullifies him.

They’re cutting us apart on the break.

It didn’t, Bazunu didn’t even attempt to save it as he saw the flag was up and the ref whistled.

Get in, Downes starts.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all. Last year it was reported that Hummel’s UK distributor had gone into administration, and there were various instances of supply being affected since. I think there was a post on here of someone ordering a child’s kit at the start of December and being told it wouldn’t be available before Xmas, so those problems may still be ongoing.

I don’t think he does, but I’d give Rachel Khoo one.

That was basically Hummel’s first back with us.

Yeah but have you ever got your undercrackers out on national TV? No, didn’t think so.

Cracking first post fella 🤣

There really is no need for you to be so upset about this whole thing. But here we are. Such snowflake behaviour.
