East Kent Saint

I saw Dyche smile in his post match interview ! Don’t think I’ve seen that before 😄 I’m over in USA where I watched a dour Bournemouth v West Ham , West Ham negative with packed defence that Bournemouth struggled to break down .

TAA was generally criticised for his poor defending , mainly being out of position I think but it appears he was one of their main drivers of their attacking moves . It is amusing that Isak is a passenger at the moment after forcing his move and gobby Slot has been put back in his place 😄

I wondered if Oriol was in fact clapped out , which is why he is back at Saints. MLT for a short term contract?

83 min sub ffs, not taken off at half time , time he got his head sorted

Only because an English batsman said “ Fancy getting out to a Chinaman” The bowler was playing for West Indies and of Chinese origin . So the left arm googly became known as a Chinaman !

In Boston they have a failed highway project that looks exactly like that .

I think Dibling has a problem, I don't think you can blame Saints for who he is .

Not sure that was the case , as I remember no one was fighting to buy Saints and Gao got 80% but had to fund it from his off shore business thanks to Xi policy change . Kat inherited Saints as well of a business portfolio of mixed quality . Marcus kept some of his businesses going , such as the printing business for nostalgia . Not good business sense . Kat shut the loss making parts down and sold Saints , a beacon of business sense in a world of mad optimism such as AI , premier rugby , most football clubs / leagues .

We need defenders who step in take the ball and move it on , the sort that occasionally get featured on Motd as quietly going about their business without fuss !!

102 players now banned for various length of times .

In sports pages for England call up , was let go by Saints now Bournemouth!

Is there any point to have this thread ? He is a poor keeper full stop. My late friend who attended at St Mary's with me always referred to Forster as "my friend Forster " as I always said "Oh no only Forster to beat" 😄

Does this mean Saints can unload some rejects to the Turkish leagues ?

Apparently the last manager got a few good results before being appointed , since then Swansea have 4 wins so he had to go . So interim managers should not be judged by their early results before appointment full time 😄

That at least sounds hopeful ! Thanks .
