It is not.

Smelly people who shower before they go to the gym in the morning and/or clean their teeth before breakfast. WTF kind of logic is that.

I didn’t have ‘lead by 106’ on my betting slip at 4pm yesterday, so fair play. Fletcha already living dangerously with his first ball.

Fernandes is the only one who has consistently put in performances which belong in the PL. Ramsdale has more good games than bad but has let in a few goals he really shouldn’t be too pleased about. KWP likewise, he’s an okay PL player but has been suspect for his fair share of goals conceded. Literally everyone else belongs in the Championship.

The day ended better than it started, just about scraping that second BP and then a couple of early wickets. You do wonder why Orr can't get a game.

That would depend on whether or not they copy City’s tactics of sending 417 crosses into the Northam car park for some Texan spiced curly fries.

He probably should have tried adapting his style to score some goals at Everton, then he may not have been sacked.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cp92njv53k3o What kind of weird, nonsense argument is this? They're basically saying that delayed offside flags are dangerous because they allow players to play football for another eight seconds. If that passage of play was dangerous, then what if he'd been onside?

Strangely, they’re still trying to sell this year’s shirts for about £45 each on the online store. They’re claiming they’re on sale but honestly, who’s paying that for kit we’re never going to see again in 10 days time?

Forest will probably be lower mid table next season, so probably a fairly good level for where MF is right now. He’s a decent mid table player, he’s not going to be playing regularly for any of the top, CL chasing teams.

You’ve just got to stand back and admire how we’ve managed to assemble the most abysmal team in our history and then halfway through the season somehow sign a player who’s made no impact on it whatsoever.

They’ll be dancing in the streets of Southampton B tonight!

My friends told me I could never win the World Innuendo Championship, but I knew I had it in me.

The fees we've paid for their players have been reasonable so far and we wouldn't have signed them if the club didn't think so at the time.

We'll sign Man City players if the price is right for both clubs and we think we've identified one who CDAJFU. So far Lavia and THB have been a success, Bazunu will likely be GK next season and Edozie has contributed intermittently, mostly from the bench. I doubt the club see the fees we've payed as 'OTT' and Saturday's game will have no bearing on anything.

Seems to be somewhere in the right ballpark. A quick Google puts the cheapest ticket on par with Wheff Weds and slightly cheaper than Sunderland, Boro and Norwich.

I didn’t want it to be true until I read that last sentence.

If you're the best team in the league from mid September onwards, and average over 2 points per game for the last 8 months of the season, you're very clearly not an example of what I was talking about. If you can't see the difference between Forest and a team like Norwich or Bristol City in the last two season then I'm afraid I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain it to you any further. Forest being crap before they were good isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is.

United on 39 points with Chelsea and Villa left to play. They genuinely could be 17th, not that Spurs are any better.

So a team I never mentioned, which doesn't in any way meet the criteria of what I was talking about, didn't do the thing I said hypothetically could happen.

Correct, it is, so I have no idea why you brought them up.

Disgraceful this, how has the team ended up in this state?

Forest were anything but a bad or even mediocre team. After an awful first six weeks, they got their act together and scored 79 points in 39 games. From mid September onwards they had league winning form and finished fourth, two points behind Hudderfield. By the time they playoffs cam around, they were the best team in it.

Good grief, has MLG borrowed your log in details, or do you really need to be spoon fed the exact details of every analogy? We matched Leeds pretty much exactly across the whole season (both P49 W28 D10 L11) and beat them in the one game which really mattered. There wasbasically nothing in it, if you think Leeds were better then wonderful, carry on. The point is that Saints (and Leeds and Luton) were all very good Championship teams who've made the playoffs in recent years. However it's far from impossible for a much worse team than us to win them one year and end up on the wrong end of a 10-0 and single figure points tally.

We finished three points behind Leeds but beat them three times, including the all or nothing game that really mattered. Luton finished third when they won they playoffs, so hardly in fluke territory either. I'm talking about the kind of club which was 8th on the last day but snuck into the top six on GD, for example.
