No one's jokin' 'ere. -
Hiding to nothing for Long and Boufal though. Come in off the back of a 9-0 into a game where we have 4% possession. Boufal needs to play against Everton.

FaKE NEEws!!

Indeed. He said he saw other people getting money out of China so thought he’d better try to do so. It’s as simple as that. No ambition, no plan, no investment, no joy. That’s Saints.

It's behind a pay wall as Athletic is a subscription service. The main points are: - No one in senior management knows much about football and there's a lack of direction. (no surprise given Gao's lack of communication) - Along with Reed and Wilson having left, Bill Green who sadly died was an important guy and heavily involved in transfers in. - Kruger was told out of the blue to sack Reed and didn't really know why. - Kruger left because he could see things were a mess. - Nelly Gao is effectively the new Kruger. - Ralph H has no support on the footballing side of things and there's no one to sit down with him and talk through footballing matters. - we've signed a lot of rubbish. - Ralph H likes a small group of 20 max in first team training, meaning the bloated squad is not even useful in training. - We are jettisoning the unwanted people which means we will never turn a profit on them - The academy is struggling and the lack of football peopke in key roles means the pathway to the first team is less clear - Gaos convinced Kat they would preserve Markus' legacy - Gao's commercial plans all seem centred around trying to sell to Chinese tourists - All major decisions have to be rubber stamped by Gao which slows things down - We don't have any on-pitch leaders - Our centre backs are rubbish Basically. What those of us capable of reading between the lines have said all along: Gao is seriously bad news. #GaoOut #Gaoingdown

MP wages are low compared to the importance of the job. It’s not true to say that most of them would be earning £750k if they weren’t MPs though. I used to work with someone who became an MP and he was just a junior pen-pusher.

Gao has applied for another loan so he can put a quid in. -

I suspect that a lot of the business is run on a shoestring and there isn't much capacity. -
Extended. Like GM's pecker when Trump says something bellicose.

I won bigly mate. Due to my unmatched wisdom!!

It was you bigging him up, numbnuts. ”The Don”. What a sad little boner.

Haven't seen it but sounds like a mess VAR decision in the Arsenal match at well.

He was kicking the ball and Mane ran into his leg.

Joke penalty to Liverpool. Big surprise.

We're talking about Elyonnousi, not Ward-Prowse, mush.

Weren’t you bigging us up in the summer? Saying we were on top of things and delivering a great long-term project? It’s pretty obvious what the problem is: - absentee, potless ownership with no ability to invest and no strategy for improvement leads to suboptimal and hamstrung executives leads to demotivated football operations heads leads to demotivated / poor coaching team leads to poor team. Coupled with years of bad signings.

They followed the rules at the time, then changed them afterwards to stop anyone like him taking over in the future.

That's one of those that is never a foul in real time but a clear foul on video, albeit a pure accident.

Officials made a complete mess of the second goal in that match.

Anyway, let's not get distracted from the need to pillory, publicise and confront this sham owner until he ****s off.

"Person of Colour" is one of the stupidest phrases ever. Along with "coloured person".
