How they could possibly say none of those are interfering with play…

Most people don't need to think of a place as a second home to not want genocide to be committed there. Russia could end this entire conflict today with no further casualties, if they wanted to stop their illegal invasion and stop committing war crimes. Of course, they're not going to, instead they'll throw away a few hundred lives to inflict some misery and delay the inevitable a little longer. Then they'll do the same tomorrow. And the day after. They'll keep doing that until they can't. Ukraine don't have the same luxury. They could stop, but that wouldn't mean Russia would stop. It would mean they move unchecked through a country whose people they don't even consider human.

What would it cost to stand by and let a country and an army carry on as they wish, that’s been using murder, rape, and torture as tools to try and wipe a people from existence? That have been kidnapping Ukranian children and are even now bringing them up as Russian, never to know what it would have been like to grow up with their real families? Why do you support giving anything as a reward for that?

Maybe! With 5 subs available it’s a slightly different game these days, but ‘what if…’ being the most common question in football hasn’t changed

The counterpoint being that, if we start with that team, we don’t finish with it.

Feels like since Selles took over, the players believe they can stay up. They might just be right.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-europe-64994087 Likely doesn’t make much real difference, maybe makes it less likely for some countries to overtly support Russia I guess. Really would be something to see if something unexpected happened in Russia itself and the **** actually ends up having to answer for the devastation he’s caused.

Under Selles, Saints have lost to Leeds and Grimsby, taken 4 points from Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge, and beaten Leicester too. On top of that our away form is better than our home form. Looking at remaining fixtures and trying to predict them seems even less useful than normal! With 9 teams very much in the mix, if we can just keep picking up a few results from literally anywhere, we won’t need too much to go our way to end up safe.

Yep. Saints recent form and being 5 points off 12th gives us a few extra routes to safety than you’d normally expect for a team that’s bottom at this stage of the season.

Looking at RedCafe, you can tell the baseline for refereeing that they’re used to seeing at Old Trafford.

We’re playing well enough to stay up, that’s an excellent point to pick up. Picking up all three would have been massive, but making up a point on 12th this weekend does quite a lot for our chances of getting ahead of three teams.

If Brentford just manage to find something, it’s not looking too bad a set of results…

Obviously a terrible result for us, but at least clearly demonstrates just how tight it is in the relegation battle this season. Any team picking up a few results from somewhere will suddenly look relatively comfortable, and Saints have already started doing that under Selles.

You’ve consistently shown just how daft you are are, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but are you really trying to imply that damage in a warzone means that Ukraine has fallen?

Terrible news, hope they catch whoever did it as quickly as possible.

Yep, thought of the exact same question myself. I’d go through both 9-0s again without a second thought before ever even starting to consider 7-0 against Pompey.

Man Utd fans won’t live that one down easily. Almost feel sorry for any that have to see Liverpool fans at work tomorrow morning.

9-0 anyone? Even as it is, 6-0 is ridiculous in a derby game.

The table doesn’t lie at this stage, every team from 12th down has problems, it’s a proper scrap this season.

Got some of the bad luck back from the early games in the season where we were robbed in more than a few games. One point off safety and we’re well and truly back fighting in the relegation battle.

Even with the ref obviously wanting this result, no excuse for not sweeping this bunch of utterly irrelevant cheating ****s aside.

Blimey. Bad day.

One year on. Ukraine still stands.

Was the voice of football for me growing up, it’s a sad day. RIP
