😂😂 Thick bastards Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said his party "fought tooth and nail to stop this stitch-up and the government has been forced into a humiliating U-turn". Green Party leader Zack Polanski said he was "pleased the government has done another U-turn",

The Community Reaction As is tradition on SaintsWeb, SoG’s defense of the delays led to massive thread creep. • Opposition: Many regular posters accused him of being an apologist for the "erosion of democracy" and pointed out that the majority of the delayed councils were in areas where the governing party feared losses. • The Result: These threads often devolved into 50+ page arguments where SoG would meticulously quote-reply to every detractor, leading to the usual calls from other users for him to "give it a rest."

So it looks like Nigel was right, and the New Broom was wrong, it was illegal to delay the elections. Strange that Mr Rules, ex head of CPS got this wrong, and they’ve now got to cough up 100k. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70ne31d884o

Based on what? He’s an arrogant cock..

Whereas, Poch Koeman and others took it so seriously… He’s like 95% of others managers, couldn’t give a shite about the cup regardless of what they say. You can’t use that as a stick to beat him with…

Defending is atrocious, only decent goal was Hearts second, the other 3 were defending issues.

What a load of old pony.

How old are you, 12? What a simplistic childlike argument…

There’s only been 3 previous Saints managers that have won promotion to the top flight, so he absolutely deserves to be called ex premier league manager. A shite one mind, but he earned that title, it wasn’t given to him…

At the moment? He’s been a complete mess since the minute he walked through the door. This isn’t a bloke who is suffering a loss of form or confidence this season, he’s a bloke who was absolute pony and is now embarrassingly pony. The drop off is from shite, to fucking shite.

He’s done better than a man of his age and experience should do, that’s for sure. Had Chris Wilder or Steve Cooper come in and got the same results, everyone (including me) would be saying “that’s what we needed an experienced championship manager”. We could have found a gem, although equally, it could be a flash in the pan, a bloke who got lucky & came in at the right time. The juries still out for me, but I thought I’d have my pitch fork out by now.

If they’re moving here, that means less people in the country they’re leaving. There’s going to be fewer people paying their pensions and looking after that countries elderly, do you not give a fuck about them?

I don’t know why anyone is surprised, Sir Jim has some pretty weird views.

She was Muslim, not mixed race. I think that was the barber. I know you think he talks a load of old pony, but I popped into his local and saw for myself the diversity of Romney’s finest ale house. Unfortunately, Parker Bowles was off shooting, but Walter was there with some of the gang.

Play offs hand been a good thing for the league. Clearly the fairest way is top 3 go up, but you’ll end up with a whole load of clubs playing out meaningless games from about Feb, particularly if you’re docking teams at the bottom even more points. What’s there to play for this season , 2 relegation places & 3rd place.

Deluded about what? They should be in the top 6 pretty much every season. Probably the best stadium in the league, they are underachieving big time. Nothing deluded about high expectations…

Soggy will soon change his tune when he sees the latest Oxo family.

Maybe it was Bree & The keeper. It wasn’t a criticism of Tonda, if he’s created an atmosphere where players dig each other out, that’s a positive. Lots of managers have managed through the senior pros. Better than all cuddling each other under Lego or Still.

Jumpers for goalposts, players played 6 times a week in my day, then trained on their day off. Just because players can play 3 times a week, doesn’t mean they should. It’s the same attitude as “my granddad smoked 20 a day and lived till he was 87”. Sports science has changed, & supporters mentality should as well. Elite athletes could play 3 times a week, but it’s been proved they shouldn’t. Whilst you can’t stop midweek games, you can monitor fitness levels and rest players when they’re at risk of injury. All employers owe their employees a duty of care, regardless whether it’s millionaire footballers or Doris the tea lady pushing her trolley round the CPS filing room at coffee break. Any manager who ignored the medical team wouldn’t last very long. Gone are the days when Shankley and the like would ignore injured players and gone are the days when players did what they were told even if it meant putting their health at risk. Medical teams can now overrule managers over concussion injuries (no more, tell him he’s Pele moments), they’ve hung up their magic sponges and their influence will grow and grow. When you add in agents needing players to stay fit & the moneyball model most teams engage in now, we will see more and more of it. The days of clubs flogging players to death, then fucking them off to limp through the rest of their lives are thankfully over.

Not only that, slagging a team mate off isn’t going to go down well with players, or even the owners.

They came out second half looking like someone got into them at half time. Who knows whether it was him or the senior pros, but either way, the players showed desire and determination to get back into the game. That’s something we’ve lacked the last few season and long may it continue. He’s now clearly here for the season and deservedly so…

Why? They’ve beaten us 4 of the last 6 games and before that stuck 9 past us, as well as winning in a semi final…

😂😂😂

Exactly. Had he picked Matsuki to start over Fellows everyone would have be moaning. He made one change that everybody wouldn’t have made, but more than made up for it second half. I had this I follow thing on my firstick with Blackmore commentary. He couldn’t work out why he took Bree off, urging him to take a central midfielder off (Downes I presume). Funny that with Bree gone, Charles shifted over slightly, and scored from where Bree probably would have been. He got it wrong leaving Stewart out, but he needs praise for the way he sent them out second half. First time for years, we haven’t rolled over after getting a chasing first half. Jack & THB lead from the front, brilliant performance second half…

That’s not the reason Jander put in one of the worst performances for years, that’s not the reason their wide men are terrorising the full backs or fellows gives a ridiculous back pass. That’s on the players, nobody else.
