I'm no goalkeeping coach, so I could be completely wrong on this, but I'd say if he was stood centrally near that purple line, it'd just have been a Kelvin-esq tap in, low at the near post. The fact is that I'd expect 95% of Premier League players to score from 8 yards out (the 5% being our players) and I would consider it extremely poor finishing not to find a space around the 'keeper from such close range. I think Adams and AA's inability to do it has lowered our collective expectation of finishing prowess.

I wish some ‘c**t’ could get us up to 18th, a point from safety and averaging one point per game.

Apart from the fact that the LB has scored more goals than five of the front six, combined?

People said that about West Ham in 2011, they came third. Those two have far more high earners, with bigger egos, who won’t fancy a pay cut in the Championship. The best placed teams are usually the likes of Norwich, Fulham and (until recently) West Brom, who are geared for being around promotion and relegation battles.

If we could maybe start fighting that'd be nice. We are going down and Bournemouth will most likely join us. I'd like Everton to come down too and I don't think they'd be as nailed on for promotion as you might think. They'll need a huge clear out and have zero experience in that league, unlike most of the other candidates. If I was a betting man though; Forest.

Part of what I found bewildering about him was that he was willing to acquire a huge squad (we were up to squad number 40 with McQuashie I think) but he wouldn’t sign anyone decent for a larger fee. He was happy to spend £6m collectively on Jakobsson, Nilsson, Yahia and JvD but not on one decent CB we badly needed.

Straight out of the ‘turn away from the shot and make yourself as narrow as possible’ Bednarek playbook. If you’re going to stand a yard in front of the keeper blocking his view, at least have the decency to throw yourself in front of something. He looks like he’s trying to let a guy in a wheelchair get past him in a narrow corridor, not defend a corner.

Yep, today is the anniversary of a 2-0 Friday night win over Norwich at St Mary’s. Since then we’ve only beaten Arsenal and Chelsea at home in the league.

Yes. Yes he was.

Easy to say but somewhat reliant on another club being willing to buy him and having the money and recruitment to find someone better.

They weren’t though, even if the transfer and loan fees were low their wages would all have been towards the top of our pay scale. Leno is supposedly on £90k, Henderson over £100k. We got Baz because he was cheap. We’re still shopping in the £10-15m category which bought decent players in 2014, that’s why we’re going down.

He’s useless and if Walcott, Tella, Aribo, Redmond and Djenepo hadn’t ALL contrived to be sh*te, whilst Stu has been continually unfit, he wouldn’t be anywhere near a Premier League team.

Meh. Going through the motions now, Selles is just a caretaker before we reassess in summer. I hope the agents of all these players have got them convinced that they’re too good for Southampton, so that they all f**k off in summer. The sadistic part of me would love to see Bednarek, Bazunu, Moi, Adams and co. Inflicted on someone like West Ham or Villa.

My anniversary with an ex. Was 9/11 and she was 3 minutes away from being a leap year baby, which made her birthday easy to remember too. Another ex. Had the same birthday as Hitler, she didn’t appreciate me singing, "happy birthday dear Adolf…" to her.

Today?

Personally I pay little attention to these supposed death threats these days. I think the age of social media has made things worse but some people have pretty much lost all social filters through prolonged online anonymity. Acting hard on the internet or in letters is one thing, actual having the capability and desire to carry it out is something else.

I think under Selles we’ll be better than Jones but not as good as Ralph, who was himself a point off safety, albeit with an inferior squad. All things considered I think Jones has done too much damage, right in the period we should have been harvesting points, to stay up.

They’re a lost cause, they will be finished in a couple of weeks (copyright April 2022). I’m willing to bet the majority of them don’t, even those in Russia, but they continue to toe the line out of fear, lining their own pockets or a combination thereof.

I can’t begin to imagine why anyone would purchase the login details for someone else account on here, seems like a bit of a wind up from someone. FWIW I don’t believe Bad Wolf has ever had another account than that one, although it has been renamed.

Never mind Liverpool, there’s always next ye….. oh.

Two thirds of which were against Motherwell, Partick Thistel and Montrose. Forster was substandard, we (more specifically our wage bill) are well rid of him.

Yes, Salisu has made over 60 Prem appearances over the last two years, he’s not new to this league. He’s been here long enough to see us play every team five times. Salisu is a long way from perfect but he’s better than Bednarek.

You believe he is a competent defender?

Just not one as crap as Bednarek. Salisu and DCC have more than enough experience between them to partner ABK, they aren’t kids. Bednarek’s unique ability to score the opener in a 3-2 defeat and being the only footballer in PL history to score -7 in a fantasy football game week don’t add anything to our team. He is our fifth best centre half. I don’t care that he had a good game at Chelsea, he hasn’t suddenly become good.

Why on Earth would the club want to make it look like they failed to land Jesse Marsch?
