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.

Agreed. Look how mugs like you fell in love with The EU. The most consistent lie the past 40 years has been the nature of our relationship with it.

Clinton Morrison is the new Garth Crookes. I defy anyone to claim he’s got all these gigs on merit. Him and that Scott bird are on bloody everything. At least she’s a bit of eye candy, the only talent he’s got is god given, his colour.

Has anyone got the crowd noise on sky tonight? Both my channels have stadium sound only

Another prime example is.......you.

Had he not given away a needless freekick, there wouldn’t have been a penalty decision to make. Interesting take on officials following the rules. I presume you want them to make their own rules up. It’s sort of like clinging to something to throw at them for no real reason.

One swallow doesn’t make a summer and he still gave away the cheap free kick that led to a penalty.

Good to see proper speakership back in action. Hoyle was advised against allowing the Brady amendment so didn’t call it. Showed his displeasure with his words, but took the advise clerks gave him. Totally different from the poison dwarf . Good to see.

It’s pretty obvious that for 99.999% of anything “days” applies to working days only.

The police investigated Dom and took no further action. They said a “minor” breach of the regulations “may” have taken place. Let’s see what they conclude when they’ve finished with this sweaty.

Martin Samual hits nail on head. In 2018, Peter Lim was described by Forbes as a billionaire. He owns 40 per cent of Salford City. Peter Swann, who owns Scunthorpe, has estimated wealth in the region of £400m. Michael Eisner at Portsmouth is another billionaire, while Marcus Evans of Ipswich is not far short. And these are just a sprinkling of the owners outside the Championship. Not representative of all, but not wholly unrepresentative either. As for inside the Championship, the new consortium that owns Barnsley has a collective wealth of approximately £7bn, while the Coates family own Stoke, and Bet365, where chief executive Denise Coates has paid herself £588m over the last two years. Stephen Lansdown, owner of Bristol City, is another in the billionaire bracket, as is Lakshmi Mittal at Queens Park Rangers. Operating at more than 10 times the estimated worth of Mike Garlick at Burnley would be the owners of Birmingham, Cardiff, Derby, Nottingham Forest and Preston — and maybe Huddersfield, too. So it is not as simple as pointing to a pyramid, and saying Garlick's club has to cut costs, to help out Lim at Salford. The Premier League has a pyramid, too, and those at the base of it, over by the corners, are much closer to the Championship clubs than those at the apex. They fear going short and empowering hungry rivals who will take their place. They resent the pressure being applied from below over curtailed seasons and relegation. Why should they help richer owners who would swap places in a heartbeat? Brentford collected £27.7m from Aston Villa for Ollie Watkins last month. Do they need a bail-out? Norwich, boosted by parachute payments, fought off Barcelona to keep Max Aarons. They can't be needing further Premier League largesse, surely? In fact, while recognising the moral imperative, it is easy to see why the Premier League clubs look after number one: so they don't end up back in the Championship, needing a bail-out.
