He’s on approx 76k a week,that’s from a reliable source.

I’ve got ambition & vision, I could make this club a success, no fucking problem. I’d be like Peter Risdale or Cortese, I’ll take us to heights unimaginable . I’ve got a great business plan, and bucket loads of self belief. I’m actually only missing one piece of the jigsaw, finding a mug to finance it…

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Lord Duckhunter replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
There’s more chance of going to the moon in shoe box than a labour PM saying something like that. -
What a cunt Martinelli is, the blokes clearly badly injured and he’s pushing him off the pitch. Someone needs to fucking clean him out…

Starmer should take note. Denmarks PM announcing a deportation policy aimed at illegal Muslim migrants, stated; “You are not supposed to be here. We are fed up with your reckless way of life. We are fed up with your culture of dominance. You are destroying the happiest country in the world,” -
Exactly. The cry seems to be, our defence is complete and utter shite, we need to shift most of them out, just not the worst one, you know, the one who can’t even get a game…we need to keep him.

My mum was a Londoner & the old man from Boscombe. They moved to Southampton so they weren’t too far from either (it was the early 60’s). The old man used to go back home every time Boscombe were home & see his mum & catch the game. By the time I was old enough to go to football he had started visiting The Dell as it was easier to watch locally than drag a 6 year old down to Dean Court. ‘69/70 was my first season, but I don’t remember too much about it. By our relegation we had moved back to Dorset as my mums’s mum & Dad had retired down here (meaning we didn’t need to visit London). The old man tried to get me to switch allegiance, but I was hooked on Saints by then. The old man is 90 now, he still bangs on about me supporting “that lot”….

Was terrible first game of the season at centre half, and nothing I’ve seen since has changed my mind. The worse of our horrendous group of centre halves and some people are calling it a “mistake” to get rid 😂 Weird….

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Lord Duckhunter replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
A copper once pulled me up on parking my car at the pub & walking home. He wasn’t saying I should have driven home, only I should have parked elsewhere. Said you’re advertising the fact you had a skinful the night before. He reckoned some wankers used to nick loads of blokes picking their cars up in the morning,as the alcohol hadn’t cleared their system. They would look at the pub carparks and if they then saw the same car on the road would find an excuse to pull them over. He hated those cops as much as us. I try not to drive the whole following day after a skin full, but if I do try and give it 12 hours at least. These new limits will make that harder to judge. You’ll probably be ok because traffic plod will be too busy nicking people for doing 25 in a 20. -

If everybody drove around at 10mph , we could reduce it further, and if we banned cars totally, we could save those 9 unfortunates souls. -
Finally a session of proper batting, shame it’s the second from last fucking day….

Fuck me. That was the start of it, didn’t JWP say the club's culture and dressing room environment had deteriorated by his last season. The bloke was a busted flush….
-
I know he’s a short arse, but that jump, fuck me. He’s got to head that away. Leapt like a salmon, leapt like Baz more like…
-
It’s fucking weird, you’ve got Tall Paul banging them in, Bree doing ok in this league. Is it shite coaching or the club being wedded to having certain type of players and those 2 not fitting the mould. It’s fucking crazy. Bree can play wing back, full back and even centre half & TP is something completely different to bring off the bench. When we’ve kept Archer & Manning, it doesn’t make sense.
-
The margins at the top level are minuscule, and the championship is a top level league. They may give 100% “on the pitch” (although I’m not convinced), but if they’re not training 100%, don’t have the correct mentality 100% of the time, aren’t living the lifestyle or have the mindset of a professional athlete 100% of the time, the drop off will be noticeable at this level. Nobody can convince me these players are giving their best 100% of the time, day in day out.

I’m glad somebody has said it. The problem with naming a clique & “bad eggs” is people let their opinions of players abilities seep into their opinions on who the bad uns are (myself included). Because Jack is a captain who isn’t an automatic pick, because he’s been asked to play various roles, and because different managers have made him captain, people use that as evidence he’s a malign influence in the club. If you stepped back and take the emotion out of it (which isn’t something we do with football opinions), these things actually mean he does have the right attitude and can be relied upon to do his best (however bad that is). I felt slightly uncomfortable with the reaction to the win at Wembley. Whilst I didn’t post it, so will be accused of hindsight, I did feel the celebrations were a bit too full of themselves and a bit too congratulatory. I thought “we’re back where we belong”, having spent the vast majority of my life watching us in the top flight, and I got the feeling the players felt the same. However, they’re not supporters, not emotional fans and their attitude should have been “the hard work starts now”. I didn’t get that impression at all, and nothing I’ve seen since has convinced me that the desire is there. Both the players and manager seemed a little bit too cock sure of themselves after that win. It wasn’t a cup win, it was a trophy for being the third promoted team. The players, Manager & the clubs attitude felt different from Nigel Adkin’s time, a little bit more humility from far far better players.

His last 3 or 4 performances haven’t been anything special, he needs to find a way of overcoming the opposition who are working out ways to stifle him. Clearly most supporters are going to blame the manager, because Leo can do no wrong. But the next few weeks will determine just how good he, is or whether he’s just a show pony like Gaston or Boufal were. If making him captain helps him return to the levels he showed 3 or 4 weeks ago, I’m all for it. But, his drop off in form has been just as bad as some of the others lately, so he should face the same scrutiny…..
-
And fucking “Arma”, with his pony fucking nickname. There’s not many I look at and think “he’s a good lad”. Baz seems a.right, I mean he’s fucking pony, but he doesn’t walk around like Billy big bollocks. Downes thinks he’s Johnny Concrete, but is a fucking pound shop JWP, Fellowes seems ok, as does Azaz and Jander, but Manning has shown what a coward he is with his “making a back” challenges he’s suddenly started perfecting. We used to have a team of Son in Laws, soft arsed but nice lads, I wouldn’t want any of these cunts as a son in law. Soft & unlikeable. Unfortunately, in the modern game clubs will back the players, not the manager. This is going to repeat itself over and over until someone stands up and tells them “this bloke is going nowhere, & you’ll be fucked off before him”. They won’t, so the next bloke will have to get them onside, but when the going gets tough, they’ll shit on him as well.
-
The bloke shot straight in the middle of the goal. AM saves that every day of the week. Had he been playing behind the exact same players it wouldn’t have been 4, I’m convinced of that. The first one he had his legs so far open I thought Bonnie Blue was in the nets, the second one was easily saveable and the 4th was down to him and his weak parry. Even the third one he dived in completely the wrong direction…He’s a clown…
-
I’m fed up with bashing Gavin, if he fucked off I wouldn’t need to. Why do we have to put up with this chump when it’s the easiest position to improve. He is far and away the worst player in a horrendously bad set up., the worst player in the whole fucking league in his position , as bad as some of the others are, you can’t say that about any of the others.

Fucking Steve Miller would be better than “The Joker”
-
I watch a lot of Wessex league games, and although I’d love to say there’s better keepers, there actually isn’t . It’s probably a bigger gap in standard than any other position . So it would be an exaggeration to say Baz is that level. However, I’ve watch my son in law in National league games and I have absolutely seen better keepers than Baz at that level. He’s probably League two level at best. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s playing in England in 5 years time it’ll be at step 1 or 2 level.
