When you're just trying to enjoy a well earned cold beer in your garden on a Friday afternoon after a busy week at work PXL_20260612_154948108.TS.mp4 Petrol strimmers should have fucking ASBOs slapped on them.

Do we know for 100% certain that Stewart won't still be here next season? The retained/released list just shows which contracts have expired and not been renewed. We couldn't activate the year extension with Ross because of the timing issue with the playoff expulsion, so his contract has technically expired, but I assume we are still negotiating a possible new one with him, aren't we? Or have I missed an announcement somewhere?

Can't agree with that. He stood out in 24/25 as one of the only actual PL standard players in our squad.

That's a ridiculous red card. What's the defender meant to do when someone cuts across them like that?

Another Russball moment from the SA keeper but gets away with it this time.

WTF is the ref wearing on his head? He looks like he's been assimilated by the Borg.

Yes, but apparently that's still not enough for some. Trying to have a rational conversation with the knuckle-draggers who kicked off in Portswood about timescales for implementing new policies or the impact of budget limitations for tackling human trafficking would be a bit like trying to explain the offside rule to a pigeon.

IIRC it was Ralph who converted him to more of a defensive player. Up until that point he hadn't really nailed down a specific role in the team and I always thought he looked most effective on the right of a 4231, but not as a traditional winger.

Steven Davis

We should be. If 'Project Baz' was all about signing potential and selling him on for a profit, then this summer is our last opportunity to get any kind of half decent fee for him before he becomes a free agent.

Yeah that sounds familiar.

I seem to have a vague recollection of some kind of controversy in one of those games that led to a bit of needle in the return match later in the season. Can anyone remember what that was? Or have I just made that up?

Good shout. I've heard he's good in tight spaces, explosive in the box, but can sometimes be a bit sloppy with his finishing.

While the overall interview is largely very positive, I can't help but be drawn to these two snippets. Why the fuck has it taken SR four years to "learn the hard way" and work out what literally everyone else in football already knew?

Dragan did say he has authorised the signing of a top player to compete with Azaz for the no. 10 role. Charly said he loved it here, and he's not getting the game time he would have liked at Everton (6 starts and 14 sub appearances last season). Let's light the fire of this rumour and turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
