When did you take test, if yesterday your isolation run out midnight Fri.

They’re not, You’re just making up a load of old pony.

They’re jumped the friggin shark now.

Chelsea?

One thing people need to be careful about is putting a positive result into your app, without taking a picture of your Covid pass. It may have changed but this nearly did for me. The isolation period is 10 days, but when you put your positive result in, the track and trace app blocks your Covid pass on the separate NHS app for 14 days. Therefore you could want to go to a Saints game on day 12 after positive result (as you’re allowed), but your pass is still blocked. I had it 16 days before I was due on holiday and I could only access my travel pass on day 14. It maybe different for local one, maybe they’ve sorted it out, but it’s defo worth being safe and taking a screenshot as soon as you get a positive result. Particularly given the IT issues government IT has. In fact I think I’ll screen shot mine every month anyway

Is the IT up to it?

Good job we’re not playing tonight

They’re not bothered by people like you, you’d never vote for them anyway. If it plays badly with floating voters/Tories, they’ll ditch him quicker than Watford go through managers.

How does imposing restrictions take the discussion away from breaking restrictions?

It’s a pretty shit dead cat strategy.

He might try, but once he starts looking like a liability his feet won’t touch the ground.

The Tories are ruthless bastards, if this plays out badly with focus groups/opinion polls, the grey suits will move on him.

We’re up amongst the biggest when it comes to not winning things. We’ve got to be one of the biggest under performers. Which “bigger” club has won less, I can’t think of any. In the same bag, maybe Palace, not won fuck all. Norwich, 1 league cup. Disappointing really, especially when you think of the sides we’ve had .

Dear god. Is it an act? If you let them apply here, you won’t stop the sea crossings.

The manager sets the culture around the club. Watch spurs all or nothing where Jose is on at them day after day to be bastards and stop being “soft”. Fergie didn’t shout from the sidelines instructing players to get into the refs ear, it was a result of the win at all costs mentality that was the culture at the club. 3 years is long enough to impose your mentality, your values in the club. Ours are nice manager, nice boys, playing nice and fairly. Maybe proper behaviour and standards, but you’ll end up with what we have. A bunch of fucking son in laws mincing around.

As in 2. Hardly a “succession”. Before that we had 4 who did very good jobs

Ralph. He said he knew he was injured but “didn’t know how tough it was” (I presume English not being his first language, he meant he didn’t know the extent of it, or it was worse than he thought). If that’s the case, it’s pretty poor from both players and management, but sums the club up.

He also admitted that he knew he was injured “that’s why we couldn’t play out from the back second half”. It beggars belief that the bench just sat there without trying to ascertain the severity of it. Lack of professionalism & communication all round.

Gives you a convenient excuse when we lose though.

You’re all over the place mate. Stop digging.

One word, Jose. He played in a structure suited to his game and was given clear instructions, which he followed religiously. He’s a good pro, and Jose still works well with players like him.

You’ve already said we’ve got a better squad than Villa. I presume you’ll accept we’ve got a better squad than Norwich, and if you’re being generous to them, on a par with Burnley, Watford & Brentford. Yet you continue with the ridiculous notion that finishing 4th, 5th or 6th from bottom would be an achievement. Hell, you’d even try to spin relegation as nothing to do with Ralph.

He’s great at pointing where the ball should go, and exceptional at waving his arms around.

Why? That’s fucking obvious isn’t it? He’s an upgrade on Mark fucking Hughes, wow, let’s get him on a 10 year contract as we clearly won’t get anyone better. Hes an average manager, managing an average group of players. He’s done a better job than than the previous 2 managers, but a worse one than the 3 that preceded him. There aren’t too many other supporters, if any, who would want him at their Premier league club.
