Singapore Saint

This

They missed and we dropped the ball.

He slipped/fell down at least 3 times, not sure if it was because he was nervous/over-excited or for some other reason. I don't think you can judge him based on half a game. Give him more playing time and we'll see if he's got it or not.

They are, the rules have changed in that teams from the same nation are not kept apart as they used to be.

Done some calculations on how likely the English teams are to be drawn against each other in the Champions League quarter-finals: Probability of AT LEAST 2 English teams meeting each other in the CL quarter-finals = 3/7 + 4/7 x 2/5 + 4/7 x 3/5 x 1/3 = 77.1% Probability of ALL 4 English teams MEETING each other in the quarter-finals = 3/7 x 1/5 = 8.57% Probability of ALL 4 English teams AVOIDING each other in the quarter-finals = 4/7 x 3/5 x 2/3 x 1/1 = 22.9% Probability of LIVERPOOL being drawn against either Man Utd or Man City = 2/7 = 28.6% Assumption: Draw is entirely random.

It gets worse, now Cardiff are considering suing Nantes (not the other way round): https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/sport/football-cardiff-considering-legal-action-against-nantes-over-11251324

This.

Money laundering then?

Bang on.

Yes, I remember that very well, stupid Crouch tried to score and shot right at the keeper who easily saved, next thing you know Aston Villa equalised at the other end. As you say, it cost us 2 points and we were RELEGATED that season. (Prutton shoving the ref and getting banned for 10 games didn't help either.)

This.

Why do we want Che Adams? Isn't he similar to Obafemi in stature, pace, position and playing style?

This.

Did you hear, Hillary Clinton was odds-on favourite for the Saints hot seat until someone remembered that she failed to keep Monica Lewinsky from going down (on Bill Clinton).

Fine line between genius and insanity...

Anyone who can get the mercurial and stroppy Serb playing well on a regular basis is a good pick for manager.

What happens if Swansea make up the 9-point goal difference e.g. Swansea beat Stoke by 3 goals and City beat us by 6 on the final day? How do we decide who gets relegated: toss a coin?

What you mean to say is, he was the Ali Dia of managers.

He looked like Count Dracula missing his daily pint of blood.

Have you not heard, Liverpool is putting in a bid of £20m for Stephens this summer to boost their attacking options.

Confucius he look at Saints and say: 1. Managers with similar names from same country not the same quality. 2. Problem of lack of goals not necessarily solved by change of manager. 3. Declarations of loyalty by footballers and managers worth less than expired yogurt. 4. Pay Shandong peanuts, get Shandong mountain monkeys. 5. Next time big club bindippers offer 70 million pounds for star defender, bite their hand off and throw in free Serbian playmaker. 6. Academy pipeline need unclogging, young ones not coming out. 7. After Everton result, maybe managers with similar names from same country similar quality after all. 8. Difference between Everton and the Titanic, the Titanic at least showed up at Southampton before going down. 9. Hire assistant manager from relegated club, sooner or later become relegation candidate. 10. Black box need rebooting and manager need booting. 11. There is no ****tier club in the EPL than a Chinese-owned club, except another Chinese-owned club.

Have you lot wondered what would happen if Saints were 2-0 down at half-time (as opposed to being 2-0 up) under this clown?

Are you taking the ****? We have ALREADY slid dangerously close to the precipice under this clown!

Why shouldn't we "panic sack" the manager like other clubs do when it works out well for them in most cases, as we are seeing with the clubs which have "panic sacked"? You might blame cheating or the match officials for the equaliser but the fact remains MP's negative tactics made it possible to give up a 2-goal lead!

Reminds me of the time we had Imants "Pants" Bleidelis on our books to keep his mate Marian "Supermarian" Pahars happy!
