The Kraken

Why have they been disrespectful? Selles is on a contract until the end of the season. Are the club supposed to wait until then to start looking for someone to replace him?

So 2 shots all game, none on target, but we’re sticking with the same XI. Good one Rubes.

So easy.

My co commentator keeps calling Lyanco “Lyncow”. I like it.

McCarthy is even worse than Bazunu.

Comical defending, comical finishing.

Shanked it.

Fucking hell how has he missed that?

Brighton very quick on the break, we seem to be most vulnerable when we give away posession up the pitch.

Yep. Germany and some other countries have standing which is less restrictive than this. England is one standing space = one seated space and is mandated by Government. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/safe-standing-at-football-stadiums-to-be-rolled-out-next-season Under licensed standing, fans are allowed to stand for matches in allocated spaces behind a barrier or a rail in areas of persistent standing. Each supporter has to occupy the same area they would take if they were sitting, with a traceable, numbered ticket. Seats cannot be locked in the up or down position, so fans can can sit if they wish to, and the standing areas cannot affect the views of other fans. Other parts of the grounds remain all-seated and fans are expected to sit in these areas.

To be honest I can see us losing more than an entire team, and we’re going to need replacements in almost every position. I think Bazunu stays, and hopefully Livramento too given the nature of his injury. But I could put together a proper XI of players I think will leave: Big Willy, KWP, ABK, Salisu, Perraud, Lavia, JWP, AMN, Alcaraz, Adams, Walcott. Then add in others that could go; I’m thinking Stephens will go, Bednarek might get some interest, Orsic will surely go, Eluseless and Diallo look likely to be off, and there’s been reported interest in others like Lyanco and DCC. So, yep, this is going to need a monumental overhaul if just half of those players leave.

Well, not exactly an inspiring choice at first glance but I’m going to remain open minded about it all and just hope for the best. An important factor is to get someone in very early to oversee the squad overhaul and start to build a team in their mould. So that could be a positive.

I’m going to miss our games against Palarse, Chelski, Liverpoo, Man Shitty, Foolham, and the rest of them. Although, guilty pleasure: albeit a relatively uncommon saying, whenever I hear of the Arsenal referred to as as Bumnal or The Bummers it does make me titter somewhat.

😆 and now the echo have cottoned on to the fact that their poll is redundant, they’ve removed the feature to view the results.

Fun over. In yet another show of obsession about us, the skates have got hold of the poll and are piling in on Gavin Bazunu. He used to play for them, you see.

Big Joe now clear in third and has his eyes on second spot. Get those votes in for Joey Slow!

Out of interest, what in particular do we know about Wilcox in this regard?

Yes we did. He played at CM plenty in the first half of the season. He was piss weak there, just really poor, and thankfully Lavia returned from injury and lack of fitness as the season went on. AMN would be equally ineffective at centre midfield in the championship, he needs to be jettisoned asap.

Joe Aribo getting anything more than 3 votes makes it very obvious that people are taking the piss.

This aged well.

I voted for big Joe. Come on Saintsweb, let’s get Joe rocketing up the leaderboard, he’s fourth right now.

Yep, this. I remarked on this a while ago, he stopped posted very abruptly and without any seeming announcement of leaving, he was quite prolific up to that point. As you say his account hasn’t been accessed for two years now so I sadly assume he passed away.

He’s a professional footballer. He basically doesn’t lift a finger in terms of moving house, his agency will sort it all out. He may not be looking to move but offers will come in, and having to move around England is going to be the very least of his troubles. I hope he stays but him being ‘settled’ is hardly any sort of factor.

I’d have Wanyama instead of JWP, and I think Pelle edged it over SRL. Tadic Lallana Mane in support of the beautiful Italian, so inferior to the utter shite we have now who unsurprisingly can’t score goals.

Again, I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with, that’s basically what I said.
