The most gutless performance I’ve ever seen, including this season, was the away game at The Skates. The players look like they’d shat themselves, the whole ****ing lot of them. So it’s pony to claim there was a fighting spirit then. We went down with a whimper . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He's been schooled under Rafa Benítez, what do people really expect? Like Benítez he'll set sides up to be solid, be safe and not get beat, good attacking play is a bonus. However, unlike Benítez or even Claude Puel for that matter, he hasn't got the tactical nous or gravitas to do that properly, so we end up where we are now. Boring & defensive, safe without taking risks, but unable to grind out 0-0's. Contrast Sunday with Puels efforts against Liverpool last season, particularly the home league game. We went home frustrated but with a point in the bag. So yes he is a defensive manager, a pretty poor one, but a defensive one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My brother in law sold up in Weybridge, brought a nice house in Poole and retired on his final salary pension. Is it his fault that I haven’t got my final salary pension anymore, no it’s Gordon ****ing Brown’s. Is it his fault that the price of property in London and surrounding areas is so high, that he’s made a killing, no. What on earth has he done wrong to be denied the vote or criticised by snowflakes. All his done is work hard all his life, move to the coast and retired. By the way, he left school with **** all, moved to London with nothing, he had no more opportunities than anyone else. My youngest son is now 18, there is absolutely nothing his uncle did 40 years ago, that he couldn’t do today. If he works as hard and is as successful in his chosen career, he’ll be able to enjoy a decent retirement in a nice house. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Isn’t that the idea of supporting a team. What happens in your world, your support is up for grabs. Maybe City will get it next season, perhaps Liverpool. I don’t know about you floating supporters, but I always thought your team, was your team. We have some seriously weird customers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

**** me, what is wrong with some of you. It's football for gods sake, not a shiete album from your favourite band. You can't pick and choose when you support your team. You support it through thick and thin, well guess what, here's the thin (not that it's anything like Sunderland, Forest or even skates are going through). No doubt you'll all be back when the footballs better and we're back in Europe or in play off finals, no doubt you'll be running on the pitch when we're promoted again. Telling everyone what a great Saints fan you are. Bunch of fickle twts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll be renewing no matter what league we’re in or who is in charge of the club. People jacking their support in during the bad times should be ashamed of themselves. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Typical of this place, some knee jerk reactions from people who love nothing better than moaning. The bloke was tidy yesterday, but was isolated up front. Never really got a sniff on goal apart from one header that can’t be considered an easy chance at all. Here’s an idea, why don’t people let the guy play a few games, perhaps against sides outside of the top 6 and then judge him. I know the budding Paul Mitchell’s on here are so knowledgeable that they can make instant assessments about players, personally I think 2 games (one of which he did ok) is too soon.

That’s a really good point. Future Governments can absolutely change the terms. And no, I wouldn’t trust any of them Society needs to make a decision . We can either send 10% to uni with no fees or 50% with fees. I doubt we can put the genie back in the bottle as the industry is too big to change now. We can absolutely not afford to pay for 50% of the population to go to uni for free. What I find strange & incoherent is Corbyn wanting to make it free. Who does it help, the graduates that will pay off their loans. Which is in effect the very richest, the same richest he wants to tax more. Whether the left like it or not, fees are progressive. The more you earn, the more you pay back. If you’re poor, you don’t pay a penny back and it’s written off after 30 years. Its not really a loan, more of a higher tax rate , and should be renamed. It’s too easy to compare free uni of our days (not that I went) with payment now, it’s a different beast now with so many more going. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can any Yorkshire Saints help out Steve Moran?
Lord Duckhunter replied to Bad Wolf's topic in The Saints
The PFA should absolutely be helping in cases like this, rather than supporters who in the main would have earnt a lot less than players did. In comparison to today’s players they were paid a pittance, but were pretty well paid compared to the working man. Short career maybe, but plenty of jobs cease to exist or have been made redundant. The days of life time jobs went for his generation regardless of whether you were a footballer or not. The PFA should do more for retired members, they can afford it.

According to Martin Lewis 83% of students won’t pay their loan off. He also claims you have to be a high earner for 30 years for the interest rate to make any difference to you. The legacy the over 30’s could leave the youngsters is to stop frightening them over this “debt”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My Mrs actually works in Poole hospital, oh and she isn’t an immigrant. If you think it’s bad now, wait till it merges with Bournemouth hospital and cross your fingers the traffic from colehills not too bad if you need an ambulance. The issue with that A& E is people are there who should be going to the doctors, but can’t get an appointment. Whether people like it or not population growth has contributed to that, added to labours ridiculous GP contracts. It’s only going to get worse, my son lives in Hamworthy, look how that’s grown the past 10 years. Soon they’re building on that side of the quay, on the old power station site, Carter’s quay and on the Sydenhams site. Extra doctors surgeries planned to deal with all those extra people, none. I’m not saying it’s all immigrants, as I don’t see too many in Poole (including my Mrs work mates at the hospital), but to deny population growth without extra capacity doesn’t affect health provision is just putting your head in the sand.

What about those ****s with terminal illnesses, if we banned them from voting we could have them put down & save money on NHS. They're just clogging up the housing market by fighting for their lives, somebody healthy could live in their house. Whilst stopping people voting is totally disproportionate , he is onto something. However, it's something our feeble minded yellow bellied politicians and snowflakes will never address. Middle class and old people's welfare. Winter fuel allowance sticks out a mile, but look at the fuss lefties made when Wayne Rooney and Paul McCartney had their child benefit withdrawn. Look at tuition fees, only the well off will pay them back, so by abolishing them, you're helping the wealthy. My old man retired at 55, gets a free TV licence, winter fuel allowance and because of the uproar about "dementia tax" my inheritance is pretty safe. Meanwhile others are having to use food banks. It's not him voting to keep these perks, that's keeping them it's you snowflakes whinging every single time somebody suggests doing something about it. If the Tories go into the next election committed to scraping pensioner benefits for the richest pensioners, Corbyn and his cronies aren't gonna say "good idea, lets channel the money into people who really need it" are they? They're going to be telling stories of pensioners freezing to death. The old age pension is basically a Ponzi scheme, that needs serious reform, but nobody will address that.

Swearing at SMS .... tolerable or offensive ?
Lord Duckhunter replied to manina-pub's topic in The Saints
I don't particularly swear a lot myself, my snap dragon swears at me way more than I swear at her, but if others want to swear at football that's up to them. I certainly won't get offended by swearing in songs sung by our supporters and even if you did there's absolutely nothing to be gained by making a fuss about it. Swearing has always been a part of football, the only thing that's changed is the chants, and abuse used to be a bit more original and a bit more amusing. Chanting Lovren you're a ****, or their new version Virgil you're a ****, is going to get a bit tedious Sunday imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Did we really have any intention of buying Promes?
Lord Duckhunter replied to ChiefScummer's topic in The Saints
This is the explanation Matt gave to Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday. Seems perfectly plausible to me. As for release clauses , they are actually buy out clauses. The buying club buy the player out of his contract and he becomes a free agent to then sign. Therefore the club holding the players contract are perfectly within their rights to demand up front payment for that contract. Most would probably accept the player doesn’t want to play for them anymore and may accept staged payments, but it looks like The Russians wouldn’t in this instance.

And you have the nerve to claim I don’t go to games. You’ve summed up my point about clever dicks being sarky perfectly. Luckily others have written some decent words about the guy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don’t talk ****ing rubbish man. He was a really good championship player for us, certainly better than others we had at that level when we went down. Not quite good enough for the top flight, but than neither would Franny, had he been in his prime in the modern game, the level is so much higher nowadays. Like Billy Sharp & Dean Hammond, an important member of the side that got us promotion and deserves respect for that alone, rather than sarky comments from clever dicks.

Brilliant, so Kane could of been stood offside by the corner flag and Big Vics goal would be disallowed. The first one was not offside because Lovren played the ball intentionally as opposed to it hitting him accidentally. Linos flag when the ball reaches the offside player but this season they’ve been told to hold off with the flag, unless it’s 100% certain. The Lino clearly must have seen lovren attempt to play the ball but was unsure whether he touched it or completely miss kicked it, therefore did the correct thing by keeping his flag down and then asking Moss. We’re going to see this week in week out when VAR comes in. I’m sure pundits and fans are going to wonder how Lino’s missed certain offsides, but they won’t have, they’re being told to keep their flags down. The only thing that was dodgy about the officials behaviour on that one was Moss asking the 4th official whether the tv showed anything. But that’s been going on unofficially for years ,it’s claimed and pretty much accepted that ZIdane was sent off in a World Cup final on the say so of the 4th official watching the reply. The second one was a peno, but would have been given offside in the build up if VAR was in play. There is no benefit of doubt for offsides, no clear and obvious error policy, you’re either offside or onside and his foot was offside. If anything you can play the ball with is beyond the last defender you’re offside. Head, Chest, Foot, knee etc. Arm or hand would have been onside (unless it’s Watford).
