Great signing. Has done nothing but be professional since he's been here, has generally performed well and will leave with my thanks in the summer however we end up.

If you could have one PL player in our side......
hypochondriac replied to whelk's topic in The Saints
Salah for me. -
This country is crying out for a new political party with some passion, some impetus and dare I say it some "momentum". All we have at the moment is a tory party dying on its a*se with a damp rag of a leader and the terrifying prospect of a socialist and the radical Labour left in power in the form of corbyn, Abbott, McDonnell and Momentum. Our political system is partly to blame which means that no one else can come to power in the same way Macron has in France. Those parts of the electorate who only ever vote Tory or Labour are also to blame too. Politics in Britain is incredibly stale.
-
Can you honestly not thing of any examples of bullying and/ or aggressive behaviour by members of momentum over the last few years?
-
Nothing at all at saints to suggest he was average. Could be absolutely rubbish wherever he goes but he was great for us and I'm not going to lessen his achievement with us by saying otherwise.
-
Oh well in that case I totally agree. We had some cracking players for the championship but we also had a great manager who got us playing some brilliant football. It was a combination of the two.
-
What's with the attitude? I largely agree with you. It's a combination of the players and the manager and adkins was fantastic for us but we also had some incredible players, particularly for league one.

WBA v Saints - 5th Round FA Cup Thread
hypochondriac replied to Edmonton Saint's topic in The Saints
Hopefully get a confidence boosting win today. Still most likely to see the fixture again next season... -
Erm, kelvin Davis, puncheon, Schneiderlin, AOC, Lambert, sharp, Fonte. The fact is we had a number of players more than capable of playing in the prem and some actually really good players. Our team in terms of future internationals and multi million pound players was pretty incredible in the championship abd I love nigel but let's not pretend we didn't have sone remarkable players for the lower leagues.

Pellegrino: Under Pressure Footballers are taking Sleeping Pills
hypochondriac replied to yellow&blue's topic in The Saints
I can't imagine that 30,000 people screaming at you every week is anything less that stressful. We can moan about a lot of things with regards our players but suggesting they are human and prone to feeling pressure like anyone else should not be one of of the things to moan about. -
Pellegrino: Under Pressure Footballers are taking Sleeping Pills
hypochondriac replied to yellow&blue's topic in The Saints
I don't think there's much of a sense that they care. Certainly spurs away first half and the second half last week was like a training game with no sense of passion at all. -

hypochondriac replied to yellow&blue's topic in The Saints
That's a bit unfair. I can imagine football has a unique type of pressure and at least having sleepless nights shows they care. Would be nice if some of that translated onto the pitch mind you. -
Or a bobsled team crashing and ending up in hospital abd the coach saying its better for the sport because everyone loves a drama.
-
In that case then why does a manager matter at all? Why was Alex Ferguson consistently brilliant for years if he didn't matter? Why did poch get us playing such great entertaining football? You're talking b*llocks.
-
Surely getting the players to perform better should be the priority? And that's the job of the manager. No reason at all that someone can't come in to motivate the players better and see a fairly swift upturn in performances.
-
Not if I thought that voting in a poll on a web forum made no actual difference. I realise we are now arguing over semantics, I'm happy to accept that your definition of desperate differs from mine, every fan I have spoken to and encountered in real life are absolutely amazed that he hasn't been sacked. As I said the other day, I can't think of a less successful manager in the premier league that has survived this long.
-
Zero difference really.
-
You already know I'm going to tell you that not bothering to vote in a meaningless poll gives zero insight into their feelings about the manager...
-
I don't know what you could possibly mean
-
If you knew for certain that a loss to West brom would get him sacked, would you be OK with us losing the game?
-
Nah. Always going to be a tiny minority who like going against the grain, worry about any sort of change, are closet skates, just like being sad, old, supercilious and feeling superior (delete as appropriate.) The vast vast vast majority of fans are desperate for him to leave now which should tell you something.
-
This will be fun...get those applications in..
hypochondriac replied to saint lard's topic in The Saints
I expect they'll try to weed out mark from 'ampshire who wants to whinge about the meat content in the pasties. -
If nothing else, this outs to bed the lie that it was the fans who got puel the sack. The vast majority of fans have been screaming for pellegrino's head for weeks now and have been totally ignored.
-
I'm not sure why Saturday would be the decisive game. He isn't going anywhere

What's impractical about it? Squash courts are a big improvement even if their online booking system is terrible.
