There’s no almost about it, it’s 100% down to Brexit. The BBC can’t help bringing up Dom every single time there’s a breach, yet constantly have Ferguson on preaching his pony, and they never ever mention his transgression despite him being at the forefront of the Gov policy . That daft hack Maguire was even on LBC this morning claiming that no measures will ever work, “because of Cummins”. I don’t know what will last longer, Covid or Brexit deranged syndrome. At least with Covid there’s a chance of a vaccine, I don’t think they’ll ever be a cure for BDS.

Really? He manages to shoehorn Tommy Robinson (not his real name) into nearly every thread.

Funny enough I read an article about Craig Gordon resigning for Hearts this summer. Last appearance for them was Aug 2007, so that’s over 13 years if he starts a game this season.

Oh no...Robbing bastards!!!!!

What a load of old pony. Only in your warped mind is this a fact.

Tories want to hear about fracking, not renewables. Leave that to the sandal wearers.

Agreed. It clearly wasn’t aimed at the core Tory vote, aimed at pinkos and soft arsed lefties. As you say simpler voters.

Interesting article. The bit about Boufal not contributing behind the scenes goes against the perceived wisdom from his fan boys on here. Ely maybe given another shot is also surprising. All in all the thinking outlined in the article makes sense on paper, let’s see if it pans out in reality too. My favourite era was when Lawrie mixed youngsters with genuine stars that were slightly over the hill. Whilst Walcott was never in the class of a Bally, KK or Jimmy Case, has more top level European & England experience than many of the oldies Lawrie signed. If his attitude is right, could be a decent signing on & off the pitch.

Pony. Pinko pony.

I don’t think masks make much of a difference & when you see the way some people wear them or the dirty rags some use, in some cases they’ll make things worse. However, it’s not really a big deal to wear one and not worth getting into arguments over.

Wind power, more like pony power. You’re right, this is clownish, pinko clownish.

It happens. Look how your bitterness over being linked to Ings disappeared suddenly.

He never took the piss. It’s the people banging on about his “clearly” having talent and blaming the manger or tactics for his failure, who do my head in. Like Gaston he was a monumental waste of money, and wasn’t good enough.

I don’t have a problem with the guy, ok so he may not have been good enough, but at least he tried. I’ve seen some go through the motions and take the piss. I don’t think he was as bad as some made out. Suffered more ridicule than deserved because of who signed him and the extortionate fee, neither of which were his fault.

If only there were more like you, knowledgable, intelligent, interesting & modest. It would be a much better forum.

Early days. But there’s probably a combination of Jose playing him exactly the right way, Jose’s man management, playing with better players, a slight drop off as he wanted out with us, the boost a new club gives you, and Spurs have bossed the last 2 games. When they were playing poorly he was woeful and over a season his limitations will be exposed imo. He’s not a game changer but will probably do ok when they’re playing well, but will struggle when they’re off the pace.

Unprofessional. Get Keane on.

Did that plank just say “Ole has done a good job”. Fucking jokers.

I was playing in a Sunday league game 30 years ago where a bloke was sent off for swearing at the ref. He was arguing “I’m sent off for that”, he then followed it by saying “I might as well get sent off for something worthwhile” and then chinned our best player on the way off.

You watch the media & pundits blame Woodward. They won’t blame ole, just like they won’t accept what a good job Jose did there with that bunch.

Good job Roy Keane isn’t in the studio, he’d have a cardiac

He won’t give a shiny shite because there won’t be a leadership contest and he’ll get a bounce come Jan 21 and the glorious departure. Cameron was unpopular with vast swaths of the party at various different times. It’s only excitable school boys who care. I’d have thought constant defeats would have made you think and calm down a touch, but no you can’t help yourself. Fan boy, I don’t think so. Boris is a vehicle a lot of us used to get out of The EU. I am not, or never have been a fan of Boris Johnson (he’s nearer your pinko politics than mine). In actual fact, the more unpopular he is in the run up to departure, the better. It means he’ll have to keep us onside.

I doubt he gives a shiny shite.

Was once or twice a sublimely skilful player. The problem with all this pony about skilful players is it doesn’t take into account the main skill required . The ability to produce your skill when others are trying to stop you. He couldn’t, Gaston couldn’t, Matt could. Mr Woo is sublimely skilful, but there’s nobody trying to get the ball off him. You can be the most skilful player the games ever seen, but if you’re incapable of doing so when it matters, it’s irrelevant.

No player seems to have spilt opinion on here more than Gaston Ramírez : his time at Saints will be remembered by many as one of sadly unfulfilled potential for whatever reasons and that wonderfully unforgettable performance against Villa that lit up St Mary's just a few short seasons ago. Only a spiteful and malevolent few will say "good riddance" which in itself is testimony to the uncertainty surrounding his departure bearing in mind the opprobrium heaped on the hapless trio of Carillo, Hoedt and Forster. By all accounts Gaston seems to be a lovely lad who fits in with his colleagues more than with management. I doubt we will ever know the full story of why he was so frequently out of favour. That seems to be behind us now so we should all wish him well in his new career and thank him for being a loyal uncomplaining Saintthese past few years. Thanks for the memories Gaston and bon chance at Hull.
