You’re impressed with the job he’s doing & so are the people running Everton. I don’t really understand the point you’re trying to make. What’s taken out of context?

Luckily Everton are run by people like you, and they’re impressed with the job he’s doing.

Stay classy

Young players have dips in form. They suffer from mental fatigue more than physical because the concentration levels required are so much higher than they’re used to. They also get found out a bit, opposition will watch video after video and target their weaknesses. It’s a delicate balancing act to manager them, they have to learn from their mistakes, learn to manage themselves and iron out their weaknesses, but they also need taking out of the firing kind every now and again. Ralph is in the great position of being able to replace him with one of our better players. Personally, I’d leave him out, it gives him a break, but also gives Ralph the opportunity to give him 10/15 min cameos playing ahead of KWP to see how that could pan out.

Internet football forums play a huge part in helping the fight against this deadly virus. I wasn’t going to have my jabs until Turkish & Fry posted about them on Saintsweb.

As if we’re going to listen to the opinion of a bloke who is “impressed” by the job Rafa’s doing at Everton. #clueless

Spot on. Both Leicester & Brighton aren’t in great form, so 4 points is about par imo. The problem is if we draw sat, or god forbid lose, tonight will not look so good.

Stop digging.

Anything that brings more supporters to the game should be welcomed. One of my best mates is homosexual and he’d hate this idea, he just wants to be treated as a normal bloke. That said, he’s a confident outgoing guy who doesn’t give a shiny shite what people think of him or the gay community. However, if somebody is uncomfortable going alone or needs to be part of a specific organised group, I’m not going to say they shouldn’t. There’s a lot of ridiculous woke pony coming out of the club, but this isn’t one of them.

what managers do at other clubs doesn’t matter. Lawrie was fucking woeful at Sunderland and awful as NI boss, but that doesn’t diminish what he achieved for us. Nobody would say WGS was a better Southampton manager than Lawrie because he did well at Celtic and Lawrie was shite at Sunderland.

It’s not sudden or belated, and it’s not a love in. A lot of us felt he did a decent job and deserved another season. We’re now merely pointing out that Ralph has been given a lot more slack and backing from the board, and the fan base than Puel got. That maybe a good thing, but it’s not the point. 8th and a cup final is clearly a better record than Ralph’s. I wouldn’t want Puel managing us now, but I wouldn’t want Ronald Koeman managing us either, or Lawrie for that matter. He’s one of 3 managers to take us to a cup final in the last 100 years and only 3 or 4 have finished higher in the top flight. That’s a pretty decent season, better than anything Ralph’s produced, so far.

I do, you clearly don’t. This is the incentive for people to make the sea journey. The fact you’ve written it as a defence of your ridiculous plan, sums up your level of understanding.

It’s very simple. Despite getting 2 more points, finishing 11th isn’t as good as finishing 8th. If Ralph gets 47 points and by some miracle gets relegated, will you still claim that it was a better performance than Puels 8th . Weird.

It’s near on impossible to solve. Every single side uses simplistic answers to appeal to their target voters. The Government pretend they can sort it with tough action, whilst the opposite sides (left & right) just chuck stones without any workable suggestions.

Did the monkeys write this post?

If your judging different seasons, of course it is. You end up with the ridiculous situation where runners ups have “better” seasons than teams that actually win the league, and relegated teams have “better” seasons than those that stay up.Points only became a thing on here because Claude Puel made us the 8th best team in his only season, and some people didn’t rate him. They try to talk down that achievement, and points is the way they use.

The vast majority crossing are undocumented, as Tim explained most of the genuine refugees don’t need to attempt it. . Interesting to see another leftie backing Nigel Farage’s solution though .

By your ridiculous measure Arsenals invincibles had a worse season than some runners up had.

No, I’d have sacked him as soon as last season ended.

Maybe you could set up an OnlyFans page and people could pay to abuse you. It’s an interesting concept, you can only be abusive to people who earn a certain amount of money. Perhaps Nathan Redmond could take a voluntary pay cut, that way he won’t get abused anymore.

Spot on. Give Soggy a lesson will you? The people risking their lives in dangerous sea crossings come predominantly from the second group, or the very poorest in the first group. Soggy & Farage’s clearing stations abroad will be full of people who’ll get asylum in this country under the present system. It won’t cater for the people in the boats. It won’t change the risk/reward calculation these poor unfortunates make. The only thing that will stop sea crossings is stopping them at source and why on earth would The French make more than a token effort to do that? To think that they’ll make more effort if a pro French europhile remainer was PM is for the birds. French politicians have electorate to face and I doubt “we kept migrants wishing to leave here” will be a particularly great line to secure your re-election.

I wouldn’t send them to a “clearing station” abroad, like you and Nigel Farage want to.

Dear god.

You’re all over the place. You were talking about stopping the sea crossings. Are you now only talking about stopping sea crossings for “genuine asylum seekers”. Undocumented people can still take their chances? You still seem incapable of answering the basic question asked of you. How does foreign clearing stations stop people making dangerous sea crossings to the UK?
