Whitey Grandad

I'm not a betting man. It's bad enough trying to run your own business.

Give it a rest with all this '8th' nonsense. What was it, 46 points? Leicester ended up on 47 this year with a squad that had won the league very recently so he hasn't actually progressed very far on that basis.

It was an awful, miserable evening. To see the looks afterwards on the little kiddies who were all dressed up in Saints gear and were wondering what all the fuss was about. Nope, it was unforgiiveable and shameful. I would even call it despicable. They took our money under false pretences.

Would anybody want him back here?

But will we?

Also the fewest starting XI changes by a long way. 34 as opposed to Liverpool’s 135. We were mid table with 90. Crystal Palace were next lowest with 64. From The Times (paywall) https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-alternative-premier-league-tables-7qbx6ktvd

Did he give away his boots and socks too? I couldn’t see that far down.

Or knew that he was going?

He was given an entry into the Europa Cup and totally blew it. Throwing the Home cup game against Arsenal was even worse and is as underachieving as you could possibly get.

I agree with all of you. Lovely to see him on the Lap of Appreciation with his wife and kiddie. They certainly seemed to be enjoying it all.

It’s broken up into various offshore schemes. Paying for ‘image rights’ through an offshore company is one way.

He knows the players and he knows the club. What we need now is a period of stabilisation especially with a very short transfer window.

There is zero reason except for greed.

Job done. Not just today but over the last few games. Hughes has found a way to get the results out of this set of players but I’d like to think that with a full pre-season and a better knowledge of the players and with a few changes we can look forward to a period of stabilisation. Glad this season is out of the way. Let’s move on.

Me too. Anyone who was at Pride Park that night will feel the same.

We underachieved with Puel.

Indeed. It will have been an escape, but not that great.

I was probably bored to sleep after ten minutes.

Isn’t that just observer bias?

I wasn’t at the game, was just making a point. Whether it suits one team more than the other cannot be taken into consideration, of course.

Unfair? It was the same for both teams and if we had scored in that time would you have felt the same way? Just saying...

Ne meither.

Indeed. The line up beforehand with the phony handshakes is more than enough. What was wrong with both teams running out onto the pitch kicking footballs in front of them?

I think we should give them one. In the true sense of the word.

I came back on the train sitting opposite a young lad who was given Shane Long’s shirt at the end of Tuesday’s game. It is absolutely tiny, a ‘medium’.
