Yep. That always works out for the best and never results in the manager losing the dressing room. Well we're midtable in the country's top division, I'd say it's working okay. Unless you think a bit of hairdryer treatment would have us top 8 and above the likes of Spurs and Arsenal? Complete conjecture.

You do know that not everything a football manager says in the press is the full truth, right? I mean, when somebody says, "player X isn't for sale," it means they're trying to get the best price. Or when Ralph says he enjoy bit of the way we played, he is simply trying to put a positive outlook to the outside world, so that he and his players wont get crucified in the media.

Standard manager speak for not getting complacent. He will continue saying that until it is mathematically certain, as will every manager in the bottom half.

Or they could have beaten us by 5, like Burnley and West Brom. Instead they only beat us by 3, like they did against Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Olympiakos, Marseille (twice), Burnley (again) and Wolves. Still, it was their reserve side, having to rely on sh*t like Foden, De Bruyne, Silva and Gundogan.

Genuine young talent isn’t going to sit and watch KWP from our bench. Our options are substandard young talent, like Valery, or a mediocre journeyman like Martina or Pied.

Meh. Standard. Oh well...

Pompey to win a trophy and give it back a day later? 😂

Well, we’re not getting anything from this, might as well have one of our best players 20 minutes less tired for Brighton (and not injured, in the game at least).

This lot with Haaland....

It’s not really the right game to judge him on, not that I ever thought it was a good idea in the first place.

Sloppy there from Sally.

That should really be another pen. For us too. I guess that evens out.

Just tuned in to see that from McC...

My favourite Simpsons episode is just starting on Channel 4, might miss the first 25 minutes of this.

Haha, so basically every defender we’ve got and hope for the best. 🤣

Don’t forget the construction worker and the biker dude, they were there too.

That’s not a bare minimum. The bare minimum would have been not loaning Walcott and Minamino, with maybe a couple of loans to replace Hojbjerg and Cédric instead. If five players is a bare minimum, what would be an average/healthy number of signings? Eight? Ten? Dream on.

Bare minimum? We've signed 5 players since the end of last summer, how many did you want us to splash out on, at a time of financial strain?

We bought him because we wanted a striker to play for us, nothing more. We didn’t ‘save his career’.

Probably because nobody actually gave a sh*t about Hoedt and Carrillo to ask in the first place.

I reckon Beatrice was on the jäger and got a bit lairy one night.

No, I’m just kidding. I’m pretty sure he is Charlie’s.

Will Carling?

Because of the enormous amount of press and public scrutiny into her affairs?
