Why is it the refs job to ‘manage’ Bragg, Azaz and Larin leaving their brains in their locker?

Just need Larin to get a second yellow for kicking the ball away and this game will be complete.

If anyone is good with video editing I think we need a slow-mo montage of him hugging Downes and talking in Mannings ear, with Careless Whisper playing in the background.

I disagree. Looks like he really, really, REALLY likes Flynn Downes.

This is, as David Walliams would say, bitty.

Stay out of the tiger enclosure.

Rohl delivered surprisingly good results given how much of a train wreck Wednesday were, getting the maximum out of the players available. It was enough to get him a job at Rangers, which is a job more on par with a decent Championship than a step up. Tonda will need to get into the hunt for the autos and stay there if he wants a bigger job at another club. Having one of the best squads in this league and finishing 6th or 7th isn't going to bring people knocking.

Throwing innocent Ukrainian lives under the bus to try and cover up the absolute sh*t show he's made of the world's oil supply. What a true American hero.

I will never in my life understand players going in with these faux headbutts. I don't want to actually harm my opponent but I do want to get sent off for it. Smart move.

I’d wait until you see next years team, if we don’t get promoted, before wishing for that.

It didn’t take place in the Premier League.

Ahhh, literal human sacrifices. I was wondering what new low the USA was going to sink to next.

Which is a long winded way of saying if he beats Pompey he’ll still be a fraction worse than Martin in terms of PPG. Like I said, he needs to up his game before we start talking about bigger clubs snatching him away.

Your idea of 'proportionate' implies a punishment where you have a net gain relative to the offence you have committed. I.e. We cheated to win the playoff semi final, we should be allowed to keep that and given a punishment which comes up short in comparison. A bit like saying the punishment for robbing a bank is that you have to give back half the swag you steal. It's not a punishment and there's no reason not to keep doing it. Needless to say your opinion (and that of many other Saints fans) would completely flip if it had been the Skates caught doing this.

I'm not sure the demand for Tonda elsewhere is anything close to the other managers you've mentioned. Right now he needs to pull his finger out just to match Russell Martin's points tally. When he gets us promoted and we're having a solid PL season, then I'll start worrying about him getting poached by bigger clubs.
