Verbal

A consensus based on a tweet/blurt by Alex Crook, football's very own Mystic Meg.

There are no winners in this game Norman.

So a Saints version of the movie Speed - Eckert can continue only until his points-per-game average drops below three, at which he gets blown up in favour of Carlos Manage-a-Ball. This makes perfect sense.

Okay Dr Pedant. Now a psycho.

Post of the day! Have copied and pasted for random use throughout today. So watch out Saintsweb - a devastating counter-argument to your carefully crafted paragraphs is coming for YOU.

So that's a New Year's resolution then - broken by 2 Jan, as per.

That takes me back to my Viz-reading days

Disappointing to see Robinson dropped again

Sorry that was me. Thought I'd go incognito and sit near them for some ITK but my souped-up hearing aid broke down. Bloody thing weighed a ton too.

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.
