What a load of old pony

Sounds good to me. What’s his Xg, ILM & LmR?

My mates a taxi driver but he’s not very good at this “finding the destination business”. I’ve suggested he employs a bloke to sit next to him and navigate for him.

Well it’s a no from me. Proper centre halves have a full English.

Is he better than Dier?

Well said Pat. People genuinely want him to succeed and apart from the odd “get the c@#t out of the club”, most people like the bloke and can see he’s a decent man. There’s certainly more goodwill towards him than there was Puel, Pelligrino or Hughes and more than most managers would get after an appalling 9 months. That said, you just cannot mismanage situations like he has and expect total support. Don’t forget this is the bloke that picked Redmond ahead of Adams in a semi final. So forget about injuries, referees & other assorted excuses, that in itself shows ineptitude at Branfoot like levels.

He should be sacked for this alone.

Why can’t it be addressed till next year. Is there an embargo on signing keepers or a special keeper transfer window that’s now closed?

Why would he leave Rangers for us?

The Play station statos are very quiet this weekend.

Get another one in . I find it hilarious that people seem to think that you need to shift one on before you can get another one in. Nigel didn’t shift one out when he got Boruc in, when dawned on him Kelvin wasn’t good enough he did something. He’s been at the club long enough to have sorted the situation out.

You’re just making things up now. There’s been plenty of criticism of him for months. I suggest you rest the Ralph thread before posting pony like this. There’s more converts now, but that’s probably because people can’t quite believe he hasn’t addressed the obvious issues. Had we lost differently, I’m sure there would be so many new to the cause.

I might bid for one , they’ll be like new. Certainly won’t be particularly sweaty or covered in dirt, particularly the keepers one.

Yep it did. But that’s not the point you were making. You didn’t say “judge Ralph over his whole period here”, you were claiming people are fickle by slagging Ralph off “after one game”. Not one person is doing that, not one. They’re slagging him off because we’ve lost again and in the same manner we have been all year.

With Martin O Neil, they’d keep us up.

No

Cahill boat has sailed. 2 seasons too late

Next season then.

Perhaps a separate agency should be created that would have more time to fully investigate the individual before licences are issued and can also monitor on an ongoing basis. I’d imagine ex plod or ex servicemen would be perfect for it.

This is my POV as well. Id certainly rather have him than Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard. Let’s face facts, the pool we’re fishing in means that any manager suggested will have failure on his cv or will be a gamble.

Did you see the Alex Ferguson documentary the other day. Players were saying that when he had Archie Knox as his asst their approach was was Bad cop/even worse cop. It looks to me that Ralph and his staff use the Good cop/even nicer cop management approach.

I don’t know too much about gun control, is it the normal plods responsibility or is there a separate firearm type agency whose sole responsibility is policing gun control?

What makes you think he’ll be an “angry shouty English man” as manager. Fairly simplistic thought process , loud vocal player=loud vocal manager. Watching him work at Villa, he wasn’t up and at em like some other assistants.

What’s our record since he started blubbing?

Lol. Premier league captain for season after season, leader of men , England international, one of the best defenders and readers of the game in the premier league era, part of Dean Smiths back room staff for a couple of seasons, yet a joke for a massive club like Southampton. I said first post, it was a gamble, but a gamble I’d take. Nobody can argue with his playing credentials or his credibility with the players, particularly the central defenders. If his name was Johann Terryikintas, played over a decade in Germany, wining the title & countless international caps, I suspect he’d be viewed differently. Anyway it’s not going to happen, our soft arsed club will want a yes man who is a nice bloke.
