You’re one of the “I want to be entertained “ nods. You’ve got a bit of neck complaining about us defensively, you’ve seen loads of goals and some great “entertainment “. Better than those 0-0’s under Puel isn’t it?

Saves wise, Baz had a decent game, made the saves he should have done and wouldn’t be expected to save any of the goals. In other words, did the job I’d expect a keeper at our level to do. Needs to keep it up for me to change my mind, one game isn’t going to do it, and I’d have expected every top half keeper in the division to have let 4 in last night. It’s a measure of how bad he’s been that when he actually performs at the required level it’s hailed. Well done Baz, you did your job. Distribution wise he was excellent, certainly his best performance for us and one of the best I’ve seen from a Saints keeper (although to be fair to ex keepers, not many others were ever really asked to play that way). The problem was who he’s distributing it to). Some nice pings and good throw outs, he was probably our best passer on the day.

Fucking hell. The day Sir Kier launched his immigration policy. Soggy who has been banging on about the boat people endlessly, wastes 33% of his posts moaning about Turkish’s avatar.

😂😂😂 You have the nerve to call others stupid when you’re writing pony like this “ the true test is how would the vote go now given that we have had a taste of what it means.” People will be laughing in your face, for actually believing this pony. “The true test” 😂😂. You know as well as I do that you would lose.😂😂 Are you aware that the “true test”, isnt leave or remain, but stay out or rejoin. If you think you’ll win when it’ll mean, the euro, Schengen and no rebate, you’re fucking deluded. I’d lay off calling people thick.

And these 2 posters have the neck to call Leavers thick. Whilst new members have to accept the Euro, we will never re join. Whilst new members have to be members of Schengen we will never rejoin. If we have to accept FoM we will never rejoin. And that’s even before “ever closer union” and the bill are even mentioned. 40 years, 😂. Of course immigration paid a massive part of the leave vote. Not because people are racist but because FoM is fundamentally flawed & also a perfect example of where sovereignty was diluted beyond what was acceptable to decent ordinary folk. Tory Euro sceptics spent years banging on about section x of sub section y of x treaty, probably fundamental points that pointed to EU over reach, but the public didn’t understand, weren’t bothered, or weren’t interested. Nigel came along & argued indisputable facts. Every single EU citizen had the right to live & work in the UK & if another country joined the EU , eventually their citizens would have that right. It’s pretty easy to move from there onto sovereignty and other related issues, and even easier when 90% of Remain supporting politicians had spent years pretending they were sceptical anyway. Who can forget Gordon Brown signing the treaty hidden away,or Cameron demanding reform or he advise leaving. Who is going to lead this rejoin movement & be your Nigel because non of the remain camp had the wit or wisdom to do so. Maybe Femi😂, Steve Bray 😂, Grieveance 😂. Your side lost the referendum when Johnnie Major & not Ken Clarke replaced Mrs T. It’ll take more than 40 fucking years to win it back.

If we had Pickford or Martinez in nets we’d have stayed up, that’s a massive fucking difference.

That’s incorrect. If the Lino thinks he offside he keeps his flag down and lets him run through, when it goes out for a corner, he flags and the offside is given. The only way an offside player can win a corner is if the Lino didn’t think he was offside in the first place.

They had some quite decent music discussions, until Soggy started posting utube videos of neo nazi heavy rock.

Where’s his back 4, how is he expected to save shots on target with such a useless defence in front of him?

Would you erroneously call Theresa May an immigrant, what about Liz Kendall or Ed Balls” snap dragon, would you automatically assume they were immigrants? The answer to that shows you what it’s got to do with colour. Unfortunately, there’s still a lot of people like you around, even in 2023. My daughter is engaged to a bloke with a Moroccan father (a father who has lived in England 47 years) & English mother. A neighbour asked me, when they married they were going to live “in his country”. I confirmed they would be, said she was moving out & would indeed live in a town in his home country. Before walking away from racist old trout I added, “fucking Basingstoke” Thats the sort of mentality some people have, and despite your holier than thou act, you’re clearly one of them. I do hope you are the worlds greatest wind up merchant, or as thick as pig shit, because both are better than being an old racist.

Because she’s not white he immediately thought “immigrant”.

This exactly. It’s like signing Warwick Davies for crosses into the mixer, Douglas Bader to play on the wing, or a bloke with limp wrists to play in nets.

There you go, the first goal is a prime example of what we’re discussing. Taken in isolation, it’s not a glaring error. BUT, when the original cross comes in , there is nobody around the centre half who is just outside the 6 yard box. He makes a shite headed clearance, which leads to a long range shot. I’d expect a decent keeper to do one of 3 things there. Ideally come and claim the cross, aggressively & early. Secondly he tells the centre half to leave it and it drifts out of play, or towards the full back who was also unopposed. Or thirdly he shouts early and aggressively so the centre half heads it out for a corner. No, yet again Baz’s organisation, aggression, and positioning skills are non existent. A decent keeper reads that, there’s nobody fucking near where the cross is headed away. It’s keepers ball if he’s proactive and reading the game, he claims it. Still at least he’s not a knob head.

It’s clearly not Baz, he’s nowhere near any long shot.

There are dozens of posts, and dozens of posters calling you out. It’s been recalled countless times, “they” used to be called coconuts, was one of your gems. Comparing the treatment of Jews to taking the piss out of gingers, another Soggy special. The Isreal thread is a particularly low in your posting career, & what sort of bloke spends all day trying to prove the Jews aren’t a race. There’s a word for people who while away the day doing that, and it’s not the “worlds greatest wind up merchant” despite what some planks think.

If Baz was in nets for Everton, they’d have been relegated, and despite Messi I doubt The Argies would have won the World Cup with Baz & his putty hands. I’d rather have a decent knob head in nets than suffer anymore Baz ball. Martinez is one of the 6 best keepers in the league anyway.

I’m genuinely intrigued who this keeper is that you’re criticising for being vocal. The nearest to Martinelli I can see is Martínez, but surely you can’t mean him. The bloke who made a world class save in the dying seconds of a World Cup final, who saved 2 penalties in the quarter final, one in the final and won the golden gloves? You’re criticising him for not finishing in the top 6, as if that somehow means Baz’s silence is a good thing. It can’t be him, because that would make you a bit of a prick, so who did you mean by Martinelli?

You posted about this top flight goal keeper called Martinelli. Who is he & who does he play for?

Who the fuck is Martinelli?

A car crash of a post, from a full on nutter.

Fucking brilliant news.

Unrealistic? If expecting the keeper to make important saves at important moments during a game is unrealistic, then I must be. Nobody has said he was responsible for the scoreline that’s just a straw man (or straw hands) argument. What people are saying is he’s not good enough and unless he shows significant improvement he will cost us points & he won’t win us any. Saturday was proof of what some of us have been saying for months. He’s fucking pony, he lets too many goals in & doesn’t make anything other than routine saves. Whether we’re stuck with him or not, that is the case. There really isn’t a debate about his capabilities, he’s bang average at best. I think we could and should do better.

Don’t be daft. A decent keeper saves the 3rd & the 5th. That 3rd goal just before half-time killed us stone dead. It changed the course of the second half. Minutes before half time, the talk was all about how important it was for Sunderland to go in with a 2 goal advantage, that they had struggled to hold onto leads & 2-0 is a nervous score line. All of a sudden Baz Ball made it irrelevant & pretty much killed the game. It’s beyond belief that anybody rates this bloke. He clearly wasn’t good enough last year, and doesn’t look anything other than bang average this.

I’m pleasantly surprised how many points we’ve got so far, and on paper the transfer window looked ok (although I’d have liked a couple of pirates in). However, there are worrying things about the first month. Firstly he seems wedded to Baz in nets, & secondly he doesn’t seem to be able to organise us defensively, it’s also slightly worrying that the most coherent & effective we’ve looked was in the first half of the first game. I guess it’s the uncertainty since that’s had an effect and we can now move forward. I imagine he knows it’s shit or bust so maybe that might encourage him to be a bit more pragmatic. Promotion is the be all and end all, I couldn’t really care less how it’s achieved, but I wish we’d get it in the mixer a bit more.
