Yeah, every goal he scores is like a kick in the guts, a real “if only” feeling. No chance whatsoever now obviously.

Wales were woeful

I have never been so underwhelmed about a World Cup in my life and I go back to the 1978 one as my first memory of one.

Like FIFA didnt know until just this minute ? Seriously? I mean, look where you are holding this thing ffs!!

Channon "you wont see a better goal than that this season" V Liverpool (83) Danny Wallace overhead kick V Liverpool (84) Le Tiss V Newcastle (the first one) (92?) Wayne Thomas V Ipswich Martina V Arsenal Pahars v Derby (H) screamer from about 25 yrds

To be fair though when he did get a chance, against Sheff Wednesday last week he was bloody awful.

Glad it’s not just me thinks that.

Unless the new boss arrived with a striker in his suitcase I expect a standard 2-0 to Liverpool, plenty of effort but no end product.

He played the full game against Everton in the Cup and my source tells me he played well. Apparently one of their CB’s is suspended tomorrow so he might get another game !

I’ve seen the first two, one with the lad who’s Dad played for the skates but I didn’t recognise him? Anyone know who he is?

I noted when the penalty went in the total lack of celebration from JWP, no acknowledgement of the fans, fuck all. What a happy little ship the club is at the moment.

Serious question for all those writing him off straight away - How different would this appointment be to when Everton took David Moyes from Preston? He was exactly the same as Jones, no experience etc but that worked out pretty well.

So basically, what I take from that interview is it’ll be very much down to the players. If they are prepared to “die” for him like the Luton lads we might stand a chance but if they don’t buy into it, like the Stoke players, we are screwed ! Hard work, bodies on the line rather than any tactical genius. Not sure that’s enough for the Premier League.

No you can’t so make up your mind from the complete paragraph - Everything was all inside stuff,” says Redmond. “I played left 10, right 10, right striker, left striker. There were times when I would come off after games and think, ‘Did I actually do anything?’. I just felt like I’d run for 90 minutes and pressed. So I didn’t repeat it for comedic value as you suggest although most, obviously not you, will see the irony in the statement!

No, unless you are accusing the author of the article taking it out of context it’s not as anyone who’d read it can testify. Sorry I hounded Redders out and ruined your excitement that he added Mr ! 🤭

I don't want to post it for copyright reasons but there is a great piece of comedy gold in there when Redmond states there were times when he would come off after games and think "Did I actually do anything" !!!!! Err, no, most of the time you didnt 😆

And Jones will need Mick Harford.

talking, after they have played Stoke tomorrow, so on Wednesday presumably.

Do you wanna tell Dave Merrington that ?

I think the initial stories of unrest and senior players wanting him gone in the summer may well have come from him in all honesty. There’s still something strange about the way Redmond went from being picked no matter what to unused sub at best in a few weeks.

I had to laugh listening to Solent coming home they started talking about JWP going to the World Cup. Even Tessem said not on current form. It’s not even a question, he was awful again today and how he escapes being subbed I’ll never know.

Absolutely bloody disgraceful. I don’t think I’ve ever read about a manager saying something like this! On the flip side given we’ve lost 7 of the first 13 we will only lose 8 of the last 25, worst case scenario! Hang on to your hats, we are in for a hell of a ride after the World Cup ! 🤣

Which players are you referring to?

Bottom 3 with a 6 week break, he’ll have plenty of time to look at that table and let the reality sink in.

I don’t understand why Maitland-Niles didn’t come back in after not being available for the Arsenal game. Not the first time one of Prof Smart Arse’s decisions hasn’t made sense to me tbf.
