Exactly that. Played well overall but never really seriously threatened. Ely did ok but for him that's outstanding. Ain't good enough, never has been never will be.

Well played Saints. Keep that up all season we should be fine* *It is a strong league this season, a good team could go down.

Indeed. Not a defeat (if it ends up being one) to be incandescent with rage about. Seen plenty today to make me think we'll be ok, esp if we get a new a grade striker in.

There seems to be a tendency not to refer things if there is a long passage of play between the incident and the ball going dead. Fucksake great save, will played AA.

HTF is that not handball? Jesus Christ.

Good goal TBF.

Brilliant tackle

They ain't no Bedders and Stephens that's for sure. Overall I think we look really decent. Aribo, Baz, ABK and Lavia are all looking like quality additions. Just what the doctor ordered.

Liking the look of this ABK fella.

Liking the look of Bella Kotchap

Knowing us I am prepared to bet a fucking lot of money that Lampard will not be our manager under any circumstances whatsoever at any point this season.

That he'd been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest.

Very sad to read this. RIP.

Yes Britannia. Ship is absolutely fine but not full (which was lucky given we insisted on moving cabin - as did others - because original one in the Aft shook so much) and I had the impression they were cutting costs as a result (less entertainment, less food variety than the previous one in 2018). I think Covid still a factor but anyway still good, loved Talinn and old town Stockholm in particular. Booked the next one while on board but couldn’t get in till 2024 so looks like things returning to normal.

Went to Vancouver/Whistler 3 months back. Vancouver probably the most chilled city I’ve ever been to. Friendly people and love the way it’s designed with green spaces and trees everywhere like they’ve melted into the city from the surrounding mountains. What do we think about cruises? On my 2nd one now, round the Baltics just left Copenhagen. A fair few Saints on board.

Yeah, we’d have only lost 1 - 3

Like.

Fair enough and hope they are correct. I thank him for his service, but I’m done with this bloke and would like to see a fresh pair of hands in charge of what look like a decent set of new players.

I agree with this. I am a level headed, non-reactionary poster - you only have to look at my in match comments to see that - but in a way coming back to get a point today reinforces how badly our man has lost the plot, and the kindest thing for everyone is if he were to be relieved of his duties asap. I will say though that that 2nd half offers some real hope if and when he does go.

Ralph’s subs have worked a treat! We need stick with this tactical genius!!!!

I’m a relatively patient even-tempered man but I’m struggling MASSIVELY not to put my remote through the TV here. I want this cunt gone out of my club tomorrow if not today.

The last time we played really well was at WHL last season, and we were superb that day. Since then virtually half a season ago 3 league wins, 2 in the following 2 at home against crap oppo and 1 more freak result where we got battered but somehow fluked a win in the middle of a procession of dross. So back then he had the plausible excuses of a/players worn out by high press tactics relaxed and took foot off gas and b/ he was hamstrung by our finances, had to sell to buy, doing a great job given that. Those excuses are gone now, and we look a million miles off the team that won that day. I genuinely struggle to understand how we could go from being so good to being so utterly shit, but he has to carry the can for it, and I simply do not see him turning it around.

Ok, so I'm giving him the next 2 games. No wins or at the very least no genuine sign that things are coming together in those and that's me off the fence. Time to fuck off. Never expected anything from today but the manner of the defeat, the sense that fuck all has changed, the 1 win in 14 now and counting. Too much.

fuck
