Oh ffs. Not after 3 games. Not even you.

Wince. Early days of course but it's difficult to take any positives from a 2 nil defeat at home to a reserve team from the division below us, it has to be said.

If the relationship between player and club hierarchy is broken down it is purely because of the totally out of order actions of the player. So if we sell he gets his way and the theory that you can engineer a move away from us by acting like a c.nt is proven for the future reference of all players who fancy a move shortly after signing a lucrative long term contract. We have to make him stay and if that means he spends a season (and it needs to be a season, not just until January) kicking in his heels refusing to play then so be it and more fool him. If he does do that I would be in full support of us forcing him to stay a further season firstly for being a c.nt and secondly to serve as an unequivocal warning to others that we will not be f.ucked about any more.

Best centre back options in the league.................

While the first was in no way an horrendous howler a real top level keeper pushes it wide and away from danger. 2nd he did well to save. Agree defenders didn't help on either. It shouldn't be forgotten that he went 6 consecutive games without conceding when he first came back from injury the season before last, he was outstanding against Arsenal during that run, so he obviously has it in him. If we can get that Fraser back on a consistent basis then fine, and he does look leaner and possibly a bit more mobile so far this season. Regardless though a keeper of his size's biggest strength should be dominating his area and claiming crosses comfortably but, if anything, that's his biggest weakness.

According to disgruntled Kumb forum members its 5 in half a season + yesterday's match which is a genuine LOL stat if true.

Anyone booing José Fonte deserved to be ejected from the ground for treating a Saints legend like that (or something). He should be put on the banner to make him feel better bless him. Disgusting.

Always good to know that ds fantasy of Igle Tara eels is being teased.

Did Forster deserve a gold star?

Yep, only difference is in this case it's a reason to be happy if we have VD in a couple of weeks.

We did but it WAS a foul. If it wasn't then neither was ours on Hart when Long 'scored'.

Prefer his penalties tbh ?

Jesus Christ Forster is just ****ing appalling. He really is.

Why do they let him take them? Even when he has a penalty he still doesn't seem to realise he has a great chance and should finish powerfully and clinically. I cannot believe there is no-one else in the squad who could do better.

Bilic will be first manager to go this year imho. Hopefully the damage done before he goes will be irretrievable.

Indeed. Similar to QPR last time they were in the Prem. Let's pray it ends the same way.

Don't agree with that at all. I wouldn't boo him and would hope/expect the majority wouldn't purely on the basis that it would be counter-productive but it would be the very least he deserved. Booing/ironic cheering of hapless tryers - like FF for example - is a different matter and more worthy of your suggested solution.

Reached the bottom of the hill he was already over when Wham bought him. Please let them go down.

I make that pretty much correct. Not tested at all defensively today, had all the play but still couldn't score - for the SIXTH home game in a row FFS - against mediocre-at-best opposition. Can someone please tell me the record for consecutive games/minutes without scoring at home in the Premiership/Premier League.

Well said.

And another thing - why no post match reactions thread some HALF AN HOUR after final whistle!!!??

I can, would have found it more unbelievable if he'd scored. Good player but just absolutely no killer instinct.

Hide My Ass. For the absolute avoidance of any doubt this is the name of a VPN I use and would recommend NOT a random request/demand.

Please try to keep abreast of the evolution of the English language when posting. "Gabby to relish a fresh start like what he did when he first signed for us." Also, we will win 3-0.

Would love to see that now. Really would. 5 years in the reserves Virgil or alternatively come crawling back, apologise and see how you get on. Sadly money dictates that it won't happen.
