Dark Munster

The ship has long left the station and is now at the bottom of the ocean.

Toney, a perfect example of having a goal scoring front man being the difference between solidly upper half and rock bottom.

I noticed Haaland did that stupid knee slide celebration on at least one of his goals. I did a quick Google on his injury history and these popped up: Knee Problems Oct 29, 2020 Knee Problems May 28, 2020 Knee Problems Nov 14, 2019 As I said, our players aren't the only morons who do it. _____________ "My super strength is scoring goals," Haaland told BT Sport. "A lot of it is being quick in the mind and trying to put it where the goalkeeper is not." Are you listening, Che?

I’ve got peacock here in the USA but they aren’t showing it live. They are only showing a replay 24 hours after the match has finished.

Do they taste like chicken?

Damn you Selles. Just when I was getting used to my despair that relegation was inevitable, you are giving me a glimmer of hope.

No more than a yellow, all day long. Wasn't dirty, or stopping a player clean through on goal. A classic "taking one for the team." If one of our players had done it I'd be mentally patting him on the back.

Close to the end of the season I heard. Since he clearly will play against us I hope his ban doesn't start until they've played all our relegation rivals.

Current table if we'd beaten a dire Forest and 10-man Wolves at home.

Yes but he’s not the only one. Ings of all people did it for a while with his dodgy injury record. I think after a while he stopped. Maybe Ralph had a word with him. And there are plenty of others doing it. Madness. Admittedly not as bad as that player who did a back somersault, and died after landing on his head and breaking his neck. 😕

Hopefully he (and the few others who can score) have been ordered to cut out that f*cking knee slide celebration.

And choosing the next manager!

New accounts are worthless. I reckon the market price is about 1p per post. Which makes @trousers account worth over £500.

Disappointingly for you, we're now off the bottom. Of course it's the hope that kills you. A bit like your playoff ambitions.

A few observations. Alcaraz is exciting, but apparently as thick as a box of rocks. If I were a manager the first thing I'd do when coming in is tell my players they'd lose a week's salary if they do that f*cking knee slide goal celebration. Ings infuriatingly used to do that as well. I can't believe I'm saying it, but Theo is impressing me. Keep it up young lad. Ditto AMN, a good solid performance after all the (deserved) stick he's had. Janny B. wasn't great, but was ok I thought. Not true of Bazunu, appalling. A clean sheet thanks to Leicester (Iheanacho in particular) not being able score in a brothel. Bring in Big Willy or McCarthy FFS. Che is a dodgy finisher, but holds play up well and is a good up front with the right partner. Great pass for the goal assist. Moi and AArmstrong: absolute waste of spaces. JWP, for penalties don't always go to the keeper's right. They know it, and will dive that way every time. Yes a great strike will beat them, but anything less than perfect and it's saved. Guide it to their left about 40% of the time FFS.

Not looking good at the moment. Thoughts and prayers.

Reminds me of the obnoxious American televangelist Joel Osteen.

All of the above.

He had early Parkinson's. 1.23 points per match. What we'd give for that now, and no where near the worst Saints manager ever.

Yep. JWP, KWP, Lavia. Beyond that I'm struggling to think of any more.

Theo and Aribo on to inject much needed pace and urgency

I think the correct spelling is DeSantising. 😉 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ron-desantis-book-bans-florida-b2270116.html Ron DeSatan, Republican governor of Florida.

I don't recall seeing any poster who thinks we are going to stay up. They'd be delusional if they thought that. I'd say all vary from "almost certainly, but not definitely yet, relegated" to "we're 100% relegated" (you for example). The bookies have us at about a 72% chance of going down. If they thought it was 100% certain they probably wouldn't be taking any bets on us getting relegated. For what it's worth, after the Leeds abomination I'm in the 90% chance of us going down.

Absolutely this. I've said before, a goal scoring forward lifts the whole team, from front to back. Without one the team is terrified of conceding, knowing that it's probably curtains if they do. No risks taken, no taking it to the opposition. In short, the shit performances we've had for most of the season, just like yesterday. That's why Semmens and SR not addressing this as their main priority in the summer was criminal.

If you have a few months to spare this is a treasure trove of information:
