East Kent Saint

Don’t know , just speculating in an end of crap season way 🙂

So far he's been linked with Spurs , West Ham , Newcastle , Villa , so fair chance he'll stay in the Prem . Of course these may be no more than being on these club's list of english players to keep their home grown players % in the limits .

Clippy made me laugh 😆

Now ahead on agg !

Are you suggesting Kane is Spurs JWP ?😆

It's disapointing the Prem has become uncompetitive if/when City win again to make it 4 out of the last 5 league titles . I was hoping Arsenal would win this one to shake it up slightly but we seem to be stuck with a league dominated by 3 or 4 teams.

Ralph still had best points stats for this season ! He looked totally knackered before he went , I don't think he would have lasted the season anyway . Looking forward to having a settled team with a half decent manager in the championship 🤞

The players that have been added to the squad were just not good enough , none had prem experience , the players we could have brought in went to other clubs and have made a contribution but they were deemed too old or too expensive for Saints .

He pushed him so more than having a word , they can't let this happen hence lifetime ban .

and get picked every match ?

Who else in the team would be a good captain ? or is the percieved role of a captain out of date in modern football ? Not sure a hear any mention of captain during match commentry , apart from may be interaction with the ref as spokesman but any player nstill gets in the refs ear !

At least Saints made headline news on the BBC !

Total capitulation then , 1 shot on target plus all stats negative for Saints ……….

L. Armstrong playing that well know funeral song OWTS 😄

Off to Everton apparently

Was looking forward to Claise playing for Saints but he just failed to make any impression , glad he moved on .

Thanks everyone this thread has made me laugh 😄, unusual on here these days !!

Real seem to get away with numerous tackles as well as shoving Grealish into the ad hoardings in the first half . Carvajal eventualy got a yellow card for a really bad tackle at the end of the first half but nothing for shoving Grealish , probably because he went down himself to make out he was shoved as well !

They have no money thanks to the tories , starting with Thatcher onwards . First the BBC had to absorb World Service costs that were paid by the foreign office to promote the UK as part of the Empire . Then they froze the licence fee and to cap it all they made the BBC pay the cost of free licences for over 75 year olds that was paid by the DWP as a benefit . The right wing press has slagged the BBC off at each of these policy changes ! Women's football was all the BBC can afford but FIFA want more cash after sports washing regimes have been dropped out after protest by the Women’s football teams .

As with most of our players that move on I feel good if they do well at their new club . Of course if they leave with bad grace then it takes a few seasons to get over it ! It does piss me off when their Saints part of their career seems to be expunged from their record when they do well at their new club , Mane comes to mind on that score .

We don’t know if he is just following orders , if he did want to move the ball forward quickly there is often no one available . The front players have long since given up making runs or even being in the final third . I think most players would give up , see Man U before Ten Hag and even after he started.

This has been the ‘modern’ coaching normal , see England for advice ! It only works if you have the second part which is players capable of converting that possession to quick forward attacking movement as per Man C , Real etc

Newcastle and ManU 1 up already
