But that leaves us light in midfield and overloads the defence!

Confessions of a Football Supporter

So, just a jilted lover’s tiff then.

Personally I use a chamois leather but I suppose a dog would be just as effective.

So how much did we pay for a player we can't use? It's like buying a luxury car and not being able to drive it because you can't afford the insurance.

Land grab, pussy grab, it’s all the same to Trump.

Not again!

People who stand at a urinal with their phone in one hand. Precision skills demand the use of both hands!

They crumble at the first opportunity.

Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium, atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant. To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire, and where they make a desert, they call it peace. Tacitus

Didn’t you tell her that GM was your alternative login?

River estuary access by ship. Much like Southampton.

Going round in circles getting nowhere?

How far do they need to flee?

Indeed. The referee was too embarrassed.

Correct decision eventually. Terrible dive by Jota. He takes off before the defender gets there. Edit: and poor refereeing.

Agreed. The lack of quality in no way excuses the lack of commitment.

Konate substituted now to save him from further sanctions. This multiple substitution rule makes a nonsense of disciplinary cautions

That’s unlucky 🥺

It’s a pity he didn’t tell us about this when we paid all that money for him. Remind us how much it was?

There was a blatant shove in the back otherwise the Wolves defender would have cleared the ball. It’s rubbish like this that tarnishes the Premier League.

I think that reaction was more about the decision to do something about our non-existent midfield than against Smallbone himself. It took two thirds of the game to get some sort of sensible shape into our team.

Detached from your reality of what happened maybe. Not everything was terrible but not everything was marvellous either. Ive never been Impressed by Smallbone ever since he first came on for us at halftime for his first appearance. He’s too slow, too lightweight and too reactive. I'm not pissed off. I’m too old for all that. But I am disappointed and disillusioned. This will be my last season as a season ticket holder. I’ve had one for over 30 years, two actually. When we moved to St. Mary’s I kept both tickets in the central Kingsland through all the thin years but then the club decided that they wanted to sell my seats for far more than they were worth. There’s no point in having a ST for the cup games because they close the Kingsland anyway. I’ve had enough.

Surely he must have seen enough of him in previous appearances to know that he’s not up to the challenge. And if there’s any doubt stick another player alongside him in midfield.
