Next FA Cup victim thread - Wigan v Man City
Lord Duckhunter replied to CB Fry's topic in The Saints
Tough game, but clearly easier than City away Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Anybody who claims they didn't realise that "diplomats" from the Warsaw Pact countries were in fact spies is either a half wit or a liar. Corbyn could be found to have taken Russian money (he's taken Iranian) for information and his sheep supporters would still claim it's a smear or it was 30 years ago. The only thing he could do that would be unpalatable to lefties is vote Brexit. We know he could grab and chick by the throat and say he's going to **** her, and not be condemned outright. Anyway at the end of the day it's not his lemmings or the people that hate him that'll make any difference, it's the voters in the Tory/Labour marginals he needs to convince. Will this story help in that cause, pretty doubtful. Is there more going to come out, you can bet your life there is. There's a reason this incompetent prime minister is still ahead in the polling, and Jezza can see it every time he looks in the mirror Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was told by a close member of Lallana’s family (believe me, close enough to know) that he was on over 100k when first transferred, so I’d be absolutely amazed if Mane is getting a pay rise that takes him to 80k. If true, he needs to change his agent Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wonder what Corbyn’s fan boys make of his last few days. Meetings with Czech “diplomat “, which may or may not have led to payment. Poor old Jezza didn’t realise he was a spy, who would have thought “diplomat” was actually spy in the Cold War era. He then tweets attacking the Government for the death of a poor homeless chap. Before it emerges he was an illegal alien pedophile on the run. Vote cancelled at labour meeting because his candidate was losing & bird pushed off stage by lefty bully. And finally St Brendan Cox is exposed as a pervert, hilarious watching Labour virtual signallers defending him on Sunday TV and having their hypocrisy exposed for all to see. Meanwhile the polls continue to be neck and neck. It’s all going to fall apart, hopefully not too soon that they can get some moderates in before the takeover of the party is complete.

I’d imagine we go for the best players available within our budgets. Do you seriously believe that if a regular starter for Celtic was available, good enough and within our price range we wouldn’t want him because of this change of strategy. I can see the conversation now “ Hey Les there’s this guy at Celtic, will be the next VvD, available for £15 million and his agent is open to a deal” “How many games has he played this season” “Every one” “Sorry not interested, haven’t Malaga got a bench warmer, you know our policy has changed”. Even if your ridiculous theory had some truth in it, the bench warmer policy still delivered our 4th cup final appearance in living memory and one of our best league positions in our entire history. Without looking it up, I doubt we’ve had more than a dozen seasons better than 8th. The original question is why the board haven’t been sacked after delivering errors “time after time”. If you’re going to change the entire board every time the side has a poor season, regardless of what they’ve delivered previously, it’s a recipe for complete and utter mayhem.

Had he said that then it would of been ridiculous. Probably as ridiculous as people taking a forum myth and posting it as fact. What he actually said was “Nathan Redmond can be Southampton's Thierry Henry”. Redmond is a good player. I can see a player lots of qualities and for me it’s a pity to leave him on the right. I can see in the future he can play in as a striker. He even added “Redmond and Thierry are two different players but I see similarities between them. They have the ability to shoot with their right foot and to curl the ball.” Absolutely nowhere did he call him “The next Thierry Henry. If I said Matt is Southampton’s George Best, does that mean I’m calling him the next Bestie, saying Ted Bates is Southampton’s Matt Busby, doesn’t mean he’s a better manager than Sir Matt. He clearly meant that like Henry, Redmond could be a winger that’s converted to a striker and be better for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Behave. “Time and time again”. 7th,6th,8th, 2 European qualifications and one cup final since Cortese left. So your “time and time again” is actually three quarters of one season. Standing by people who’ve delivered in the past on the basis of a few months struggle is not a “joke” , it’s what most employers do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Guido Carrillo - Official: Free Transfer to Elche
Lord Duckhunter replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
Yes, agreed. We've brought so many strikers since Gabbi scored 6 in his first 4. Before that Austin took ages to get off the mark, I remember thinking during those 7 long minutes , is he ever going to score. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Guido Carrillo - Official: Free Transfer to Elche
Lord Duckhunter replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
God, from his couple of performances you can see he lacks mental toughness. Wow, you really are an expert aren’t you. Makes our two wins away at West Brom even better, we managed to grind out those results with a flake up front. Mind you Dawson, McAuley, Evans and Hegazi are pretty soft, not much mental toughness needed to play upfront alone against those fairies Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

I wouldn’t take your opinions from a podcast if I was you, Gab Marcotti predicted Lamina would be a flop on The Game podcast. Why don’t you give us your opinions. From what you’ve seen so far what makes you think he’ll be a flop. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

God he must be rubbish. Argentina are useless up front and he can’t get a sniff. They’ve only got Agüero, Messi, Higuaín Dybala. God I bet they wish Brett Ormerod was an Argie, he’d get a game ahead of that lot . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Has he missed any sitters yet, has he even missed any that maybe he should have done better, because I can’t remember any. Perhaps one of the experts could expand their scouting report a bit further than, he’s Shiite , he’s always been Shiite , Monaco pulled our pants down type of thing. What is it that you’ve seen that draws the conclusion that he won’t score, is he not getting into to scoring positions for our crack assist squad to pick him out, is he missing chances he should bury, maybe he’s receiving the ball in the wrong areas, or receiving it too square on, is he not finding space, what is it. I’m genuinely interested in them sharing their knowledge, because all I can see is a tidy player, working hard who hasn’t had a sniff of goal or been given any decent service.

They'll be a lot of moaning on here as well. How shiete city were, how lucky clueless Pell was, we couldn't score apart from the spot kicks, we're still going down, the semi final will be a distraction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Lord Duckhunter replied to Bad Wolf's topic in The Saints
I'd like to know how he lost the dressing room. Was it the sessions he put on, was it his man management skills, did the players not think he was good enough for them. Was it that Fonte and other big figures couldn't accept falling down the pecking order, or playing up after not getting a move. "Losing the dressing room" is a catch all phrase thrown around regularly at various clubs. Personally I'd like to speak to the experienced pro's, guys like Davo or OR, straight professionals to find out the truth. One things for sure, if the players were moaning about him affecting their performances they look pretty stupid now. They had a chance to show everyone how much he held them back and how much he affected morale, they're now in the bottom 3 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Even if we somehow beat city , chances are it'll be Chelsea, Utd or Spurs in the semis. Needed the big 4 to meet each other or at least 2 of them to open up the other half of the draw. Absolutely no ****ing chance of anyone outside those 4 winning it now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Pellegrino: Under Pressure Footballers are taking Sleeping Pills
Lord Duckhunter replied to yellow&blue's topic in The Saints
For gods sake. The blokes a pretty poor manager but do people need to jump down his throat every single time he makes a comment. The guys played for Barca, played in champions a league final, I think he knows a bit more about the pressures of being a footballer than any of the experts on here. The mental pressure of top flight sport is based around the pressure sportsmen put themselves under. Of course our players aren’t suffering what we associate with pressure, forget paying their mortgage I doubt they’ve even got one, they can buy whatever they want, when they want. They have the best of everything & a lifestyle we can only dream of, but the pressure they’ll put themselves under will be every bit as intense . I’ve no doubt some of them have problems sleeping, and are prescribed tablets, what on earth is wrong with the manager discussing it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
