Saint Billy

Some on here are still hanging onto the euphoria of winning the playoffs and getting promoted and all the excitement that generated. Time for a reality check, this is going to be a long hard season especially with RM sticking to his principles as he has once again repeated. I am not calling for his head but he has got to realise that we do not have players at the back good enough to play his brand of football. If the flame burns you do not keep going back and touching it. My big doubt is that he will not change nor does he want to, which will make for a very tough watch, a very depressing season with relegation a certainty.

The thing is, I like RM, he comes across as a really nice guy. It looks like he has a good relationship with his players and I am grateful to him for getting us back to the prem albeit despite the system. I would love him to remain but only if he wakes up and smells the roses. His chosen system is so flawed and dealt with so easily it's embarrassing.

Who said that they are giving up?. On the manager maybe, on the style of play definitely.

Even the commentators are amazed that we play this in this suicidal way. Someone get hold of RM and ram it home that this will not work in the premiership.

Jesus Armstrong.

There we go, fucking about at the back once again, fuck RM's principles.

Why not start with your best players?

How for the life of me is Aribo and Smallbone on the pitch when there is much more quality sat on the bench, defies logic.

Patently clear already after a couple of minutes that this lineup and formation is all wrong.

Singalong. And then you go and spoil it all by playing something stupid like russball.

Well that lineup was not what I was expecting, I was hoping NM was wanting to win this game.

I'd rather just see him sign tbh.

I've seen it asked before but isn't Archer our new number 9?.

Cheers, typo, HSB. Obviously Fullers bought Gales then. Lovely pint.

Serious question and off topic, but seeing you mentioned ale can you still get Gales HSBC in Hants?.

Definitely for me the most excited I've been regarding a signing since Keegan.

Those bloody sandals are a nightmare.

My cousin who is an Arsenal season ticket holder says he is a bit of a character on and off the field.

Apparently we are running him up and down Athelstan Road a few times to see if we can aggravate an old injury to reduce the price a bit.

When I saw him play for Millwey Rise FC at the age of five I thought, there’s a young lad whose style is just like that of an older lad I’ve seen called Jack Grealish who I’m sure will play for England one day.

I wasn't being all serious but certainly 3 or 4 of them get my vote.

Not bad for a bunch of guys that have never payed together before.

Please make this the A team RM.

I must admit I do like watching Dibling dribbling.
