Is that a prediction or are you in a time zone four hours ahead?

Are we already a goal down? Seriously didn't expect the drugs to wear off that quickly.

This is frightening. I'm sending this recording transcript straight to Henry Winter. People have to know.

Where does this leave Eckert on the all-time best list of SR-era Saints' managers?

The lowest circle of hell is treachery, which is a bit harsh. The one above that is fraud in case that helps.

He's managing them now? Easy win for us, assuming "easy" is a thing we still do occasionally.

Just to warn you, Farke almost fits that description and is about to be hoofed by Leeds.

Even after the Russell Martin thread ran out of steam, can someone tell the club that there are many on here who have dozens of unused RM jokes...and we will use them

Does Lampard actually own any horses?

I doubt it, but if he is we should definitely be in the running in the opposite direction.

"Feelings" are not a binary of data.

So somebody really good who's just been sacked. I can see SR going for a strategy like this...

I can't imagine doing such a thing regrettably.

If anyone understands the reverse psychology of pessimism, I guarantee there won't be any managerial change until December.

No one.

There's always "Mr Organisation" Ange. At least we'd have a shot at the JPT or whatever that's called now - but only in his second season.

It's a golden rule of mine never to read beyond point 1, because, 1, the world makes more sense that way, and 2,

Quite like that team and formation, although you've had a bit of a mare at left back - not his name, not his pic, and isn't he in suspenders for the next game?

Yes, I can't remember, could be - but thought it odd at the time that Still was appointed solo.

Wasn't that vacancy created because the club refused to allow Still to bring his coaching team with him?

My hunch is that any change in manager won't happen before December.

This can actually be expressed in a formula: RIPxG

I hate this negative thinking. Don't think of us losing - think of us losing narrowly.

Blackburn will also have 5 at the back, meaning that both sides will spend the entire game in their own half waiting for an attack that never comes, but patiently counting on an accidental pass-back/Panenka. Could be quite a match.
