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 .

I'm feeling that any appointment will be underwhelming until we can defend and start scoring plus winning. All those visits to St Mary's where a draw was a relief need to be history.

Manning's 'brother' has left Norwich, snap him up 😁

Not on the bench , he and Wham players looked pleased at the end !

Dyscalculi , or number blind , says google 😄

I think Dibling is “on the spectrum” an individual rather than a team player . MLT was similar but in his case he did his thing and the team supported his individuality His reaction to Chelsea move shows that he was comfortable at Saints and any change would unbalance him . I would have thought Saints should have understood him for what he was . He doesn’t like to be in the spotlight , singled out , shouted at etc but given specialist coaching to bring out his talent and protect him .

Eastleigh match on BBC2 KO 14:15 , we could do some scouting for a prolific goal scorer 😁

I'll always be a Saints fan , it is a struggle after the last few years ! It is OK to watch other teams play especially if they are local but I'll still be a Saints fan for ever. Like Turkish says I follow teams in other leagues to see how they are doing and hope they win when I watch on TV .

I'm losing my Saints connection now , expecting relegation and possible revival at best ffs

This is the end my beautiful friend the end Lost inside the black hole ,dropping down the edge , fading away in shadow , is this where it ends ? This is the end ....

Lost to Dobbin, you couldn't make it up , Still has failed, get in an old fashioned arsenal kicker 😄
