Load of old pony. Straight reds, 😂

Ralph has cancelled the week off for non international players. Now they’re only having a few days off. Although it’s not intended as a punishment he just wants to make sure the players are fully fit. WTF, they either need to come in to be “fully fit” or they don’t. What’s he saying , had they won Sat they didn’t need to be “fully fit” for the Leeds game, or are they not as fit as they should be ? Blokes all over the place. His heads gone….. “Disturbed by unending poor results, Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has cancelled players week off insisting that the players did not keep their own end of the bargain As a result, according to The Athletic, Hasenhuttl expects his players not selected by their national teams to report for training as usual this week and burn the calories The report noted that the Saints manager’s decision to conduct training this week is not intended to be a punishment for the two consecutive losses the Saints have suffered in the past eight days. Rather, it stems from the Austrian’s desire to ensure his players are fully fit ahead of their home game against Leeds after the international break, on October 16.”

The VAR clearly thought it was a clear and obvious error. The referee could have stood with his original decision, but didn’t. Do people really think Mike Dean can influence the referee to such an extent that he thought “it’s a yellow, but as Mike thinks it’s a red, it must be a red”.

I’m glad Pusey grabbed 3

What reason has Dean got to engage in a vendetta against us. Risking his whole career, reputation (for what it’s worth), for a small provincial club that’s won one thing it’s it’s whole history. The upshot of his cunning plan is what? What has he got to win by stitching us up. We’re of no consequence to the wider football world. Fuck me, some of our supporters are prized Nods.

That we're “unlucky”.

Why on earth would he have an agenda again at us? I doubt he gives a shiny shite about us.

Is OR also out?

Yeah because calls for him to go only started yesterday 🤪 Hes Teflon Ralph to some posters, nothing ever sticks to him, I see it was the officials fault AGAIN, and se were “unlucky”. He’s got to be the unluckiest manager in the history of the game. The blokes a bluffer & a fraud and some of our supporters lap it up because he’s “The alpine Klopp”, and it gives them the opportunity to “see” things the rest of us can’t. If any English manager had his run of results they’d of been out weeks ago.

You would have moaned like fuck.

Hopefully

Spells?

Ronald Koeman whole managerial career was all about getting to manage Barcelona, anyone who thinks he’ll come back to us afterwards is deluded.

What do you reckon the BBC employees voting % is, I reckon you’ll be lucky to find 20% that vote Tory. The lefts whinging about getting a fair hearing is just pony. They don’t lose elections because of bias, they lose elections because they’re out of touch with the electorate. Discussions about who has and hasn’t a cervix and calling people scum isn’t going to win over floating voters. They’re just appealing to people who’d never vote Tory in a million years, people already on their side of the ledger. Fucking clowns.

We’ll said mate. I long for a manager who looks at the players we’ve got and picks a system to suit them. Not a bloke who wants to play the same way every fucking week and shoe horn players into “his” system. You also end up with the situation where every fucking team we play knows exactly how we’re going to play, and can therefore prepare for that easily. It’s ok for the better sides because their talent will shine through regardless, so it doesn’t really matter if you know how they’ll play. We chuck Long & the big fella on, and still play Ralph ball. No matter who plays in our midfield it’s sideways, backwards, slowly. It’s like they’re all programmed. They’re like Stepford fucking Wives .

Who said anything about screaming abuse. Watch other sides, they dig each other out. Players have done it for years. Why didn’t anyone go to the referee, other sides do it. Nope, we’re good little boys, credit to the game. Have you ever wondered why we keep making mistakes?

Telling that not one of our players got into Bednarek or the referee after the goal, not one. They just dropped their heads and waited for wolves to get back for the kick off like the nice polite boys they are. Does either one of our keepers ever dish out bollockings when we’re done, does the skipper ever gee people up or get on their case. No, we’re soft as shite.

Have you seen our record since the turn of the year? It’s hardly knee jerk to expect better results, other clubs wouldn’t put up with it. Our Nods just sit their bemoaning our luck and taking crumbs of comfort from the occasional glimmer of hope. We’re heading one way under this fraud, The Alpine Klopp, lol, The Alpine Branfoot more like

If somebody had turned up with 5 minutes left and didn’t know the score , they’d have thought it was 0-0. There was absolutely no urgency or a change of approach from us. We chucked Shane Long and the big fella on, and then continued to pass it backward square and slowly. Why wasn’t golden bollocks getting hold of the game and the side, pushing them on, driving us forward. Instead he was fannying around pushing up his passing stats. Woeful.

What’s his record since he made a cock of himself by blabbing when we beat Liverpool

Even a halfwit would play Tino in front of KWP, and play a proper left back. Why he can’t see it is beyond me.

According to Jimmy Case, Bob Paisley was the most tactically knowledgeable bloke he met in football. Prior to the European cup final in Rome his team talk consisted of “last time I was here I was liberating it in a tank, you’re better than them, go out and give them a doing”. He then walked out. Prior to last seasons final what did pep do, baffle the players and pick the wrong side. He got a doing that night. Sometimes things can be over complicated

Good case in point. It was always said it was an old fashioned system that held English football back, it wasn’t, it was 4-4-2 without the ball, but a 4-1-3-2 when we had it. Nobby sat in front of centre halves before Claude Makalele was even born. Martin Peters was an incredibly modern player, 10 years before his time!, he was 50 years ahead of his time, he’d fit in any side today. Bally tucked in but broke wide, Bobby Charlton broke through the lines, or whatever pony describes it now, and Bobby Moore set up attacks better than any modern day centre half. The only real difference from now is the full backs sat and Big Jack kicked a few. As I posted earlier 4-4-2 is a lazy description of many varied tactics that now have hipster names.

It’s nearly as bad as some posters spelling.
